Our God works in mysterious ways. I normally write a devotional each day based off Bible Gateway’s “Verse Of The Day.” Today’s verse is Isaiah 12:4. But I generally expand the passage of Scripture to include the general context, so more verses were added. And verse 1 talked about giving thanks...
That night all in this group making a new small community here did not go to their beds of woven blankets hungry, but they still wanted more food than had been available to them that day.
Yahweh came with a revelation to Hillariah again. She heard, "There are many creatures in the world you are...
“Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope for His lovingkindness,
To deliver their soul from death
And to keep them alive in famine.
Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
For our heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
Let...
Most humans, including Christians, have trouble getting past themselves. They need to get back to what they were before the fall.. a being basically unaware of it's body and self and more in tune with it's true nature.
Anyone who loves all as self, no matter who in this world, is already...
Proverbs 14 Select Verses NASB1995
16 A wise man is cautious and turns away from evil,
But a fool is arrogant and careless.
25 A truthful witness saves lives,
But he who utters lies is treacherous.
26 In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence,
And his children will have refuge.
27 The...
Rocket Force wiped clean—again, as Xi takes order from his new boss - YouTube
That video is almost an hour long, so I had Grok AI summarize the transcript. The formatting is Markdown which doesn't translate here.
**Key Points from "Rocket Force Wiped Clean—Again, as Xi Takes Order from His New...
In case no one noticed, God doesn’t need to save us. We do.
We are children of our Father, and it is time to get past our rebellious teenage phase and start going out and acting in the ways He instructed us to carry on the Fatherly business, servitude to Him and each other in need. But of...
“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never pay back evil for evil to anyone...
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
Fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
“My son, if sinners entice you,
Do not consent.
If they say, ‘Come with us,
Let us lie in wait for blood,
Let us ambush the innocent without cause;
Let us swallow them alive like Sheol,
Even whole, as...
“The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;
The Lord raises up those who are bowed down;
The Lord loves the righteous;
The Lord protects the strangers;
He supports the fatherless and the widow,
But He thwarts the way of the wicked.” (Psalm 146:8-9 NASB1995)
It isn’t just the physically blind who our...
I almost forgot to mention this. In a recent post, a member who supports Trump claimed that as God placed him as president, we should support him, and have faith in him as a result.
From a Christian perspective, God does place all rulers in place. To quote scripture:
"Every person is to...
I've been watching the news about immigration, and how they are grabbing folks up at court who are following the law, and grabbing them up when they come for their appointments with immigration, and off the street. This image came up on Facebook:
Are we just suppose to believe they are ICE...
Isaiah 41:8-11 ESV
“But you, Israel, my servant,
Jacob, whom I have chosen,
the offspring of Abraham, my friend;
you whom I took from the ends of the earth,
and called from its farthest corners,
saying to you, “You are my servant,
I have chosen you and not cast you off”;
fear...
“But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our...
The long rain had really drenched this area of the settlement. There were firmer spots in many places, especially around the wall surrounding all the plants they hoped would still grow, where the underearthworm had been, but had burrowed again later in that day. But there were many places left...
“From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, ‘God forbid it, Lord! This shall never...
“You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly. You shall not go about as a slanderer among your people, and you are not to act against the life of your neighbor; I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 19:15-16...
