This is my spirit. I witness from the Spirit within me what I am told. I am told this for my own benefit. I am not an instructor. I do not persuade or convince. That is between another person's spirit and whatever spirit is within them. The Holy Spirit convicts whom He will. Spencer Corkum

The Evil Day Comes

Eccl 12:1 Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, "I have no delight in them." Someday I will realize that this is where I came in. Not everything that starts well ends well. Some pleasures also lead us on, but the end of them consume us all. Even our taste buds will fade and shrink from of all early enjoyments while others inexplicably do the very opposite before consumption overtakes.  It is well said do not lean on the arm of flesh.

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.
