All good things

  All good things come down from the Father of Lights it says in James 1:17. I would have thought it was in Philippians where we are told to think upon every good thing in Phil 4:8. There it says to think upon those things which are true. honorable, right, pure, lovely, of good repute, and excellence, we are to think on those things. So, if we are wronged, we are not supposed to think about it.  

Well Known & Popular Psalm 91

 He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust. Surely He shall deliver you from the snare and the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings shall you trust: His truth shall be your shield and buckler. All 16 verses, with the last verse, With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation. Psalms are arranged in groups and 91 is in a section of very readable Psalms that can soothe one's soul.

Time after time

Psalm 107:19-21 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses. He sent His word and healed them from their destructions. Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and His wonderful works to the children of men! The passage of time is by itself alone sad on reflection. It does not matter how wonderful or how happy the passage of time may be remembered. I wonder why it is so sad to remember former days. Conversely in the unseen spirit world of our destinations, by reason of there being no time, may I anticipate a passage of eternity full of rejoicing? 

Life and Death

Choose Life

Psalm 139:17-18 How precious are thy thoughts unto me Oh God! how great is the sum of them. If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. 

In my younger days, I used to think, still do, that God had laws. And that ignorance of those laws was no excuse if I violated them. These laws were not hid from me, being assumed from within, likely placed there by God if I wanted to know them. Oh yes, it is an advantage to know God and His laws. God said I place before you both life and death, chose life.     

 

The Wonderment Question

Psalm 139:14-15 I will praise Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are Thy works, and that my soul knows right well. This is when the monkeys all get out their little typewriters and continuously compose one Shakespearian sonnet after another, all by chance. 

Darkness Shines With God

Psalm 139:11-12 If I say, surely the darkness shall cover me, even the night shall be light about me. The darkness hides not from You; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to You. This verse gives one pause. Notice the language is spirit inspired. This is more powerful in the spirit, going beyond the science in the matter. We are moving into the uncharted imagination.

David Praises God

Psalm 139:1-6

 O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it. If we lift the Lord up, we have to lift ourselves up as well. 

Jesus Spoke

Evidence Jesus Existed 

After Writing Nothing 

Far Exceeds Everyone Else

It is said that Apollo was a great speaker and Paul was a great writer. But Apollo is not remembered as Paul is, being that Paul wrote more letters appearing in the Bible itself than anyone else. It is quite true that Paul wrote some of the greatest lines and quoted the most dynamic imagery in the Bible. 

Jesus, however, wrote down not a single line, but He is quoted often and remembered as the greatest of all. This means something, this going against the form, so to speak. What is it? Well, some scholars wonder if Jesus ever existed. 

This with all the witnesses writing so many books mentioning Jesus, even secular historians as well. How is it then that only one book written by Homer survives the burning library of Alexandria. He, the scholars do not debate whether Homer existed or not. 

All Good Things come down from

The Father of Lights has spoken into creation all good things. What an array the sky is, beyond all our thoughts, expectations, or knowledge. It came from the mind of God with no end or big bang but many big bangs all existing forever, before any big bangs ever banged. 

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

A Most Wonderful Book

A uniquely different book from all the others in the Old Testament, I often overlook is Ecclesiastes. But I eventually rediscover it from time to time. It makes for great reading. It is full of startling quote material almost everywhere I look. Eccl 1:5 Also, the sun rises and the sun sets: And hastening to its place, it rises there once again.
