Only Then

I will not let the Word of God depart from my mouth, but I will meditate on it day and night, so that I will be careful to do everything written in it. And then, only then, can I truly be successful and prosperous. Joshua 1:8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. (NIV) Never stop reciting these teachings. You must think about them night and day so that you will faithfully do everything written in them. Only then will you prosper and succeed.

Guided, Advised, and Watched Over

I will let the Lord guide me along the best pathway for my life. I will heed His advice, and feel safe, knowing that God is watching over me with a loving eye. (Psalm 32:8) The LORD says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. (NLT) I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. (NIV) Share your burbles here. Image courtesy of Lightstock .

The Feeling Is Mutual

An unjust person is disgusting to righteous people. A decent person is disgusting to wicked people. (Proverbs 29:27 GW) I guard my heart; I will not let my guard down. I will remain vigilant. I will continue to despise wickedness. I will not turn soft; I choose to be hard on sin. I will not tolerate evil. I am disgusted by it. _=w=_   I help those wallowing in their mud of sin - to love them with the heart of the Savior by showing them gently a better way to live. But all through the process, I hate the sin. May it never cross my mind that it's okay, that it's only a little bit of sin and it's okay. No, it's not okay. Sin is never okay. Sin is like a yeast. A little touch of it affects the whole dough. It's the little foxes that ruin the vineyard. A little sinful mistake can outweigh all the good and the great that God has established in my life. _=w=_ The good I do is disgusting to the wicked. I will never fit in with them. God has already called me to wal...

Sheep or Shepherd's Clothing?

#Mtt7.15 False prophets come dressed up like sheep. They identify with the common people, the masses. Face-to-face deception is easy when it's coming from "one of us." The gullible believes that the on-disguised false prophet sympathizes and empathizes with them, and the doctrine presented is somewhat appealing to their level. False prophets don't come in shepherd's clothing, but in sheep's clothing.   It'll be easy to spot a spiritual leader from afar, but who would suspect a regular fellow church member right from the start? And because they are false, they plant seeds of doubt and question, making you confused and agitated. False prophets are hungry, ravenous, voracious, vicious and ferocious. In the process they attack the naive. They prey on the unwary. Take heed of the Chief Shepherd's warning: Watch out! Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.   (Ma...

God Opens the Womb and Helps in Giving Birth

#Isa66.9 My Father, in His loving graciousness, opens my wife's womb for her to conceive and have a baby. Then, the Lord helps my wife to give birth to a healthy baby. He protects my wife and our newborn child. My God helps us all the way, from start to finish, from conception to birthing. Hallelujah! Isaiah 66:9 Do I open the womb     and not deliver the baby? Do I, the One who delivers babies,     shut the womb?   (Message) Will I open the womb and not deliver?    I have made this place labor in terrible pain, But do you think I won’t help it give birth?    That is what I, the Eternal One have to say.

So...What? Get to Know the English of the Bible

 And so I was reading through my Bible  one day when I came across this verse: So let me remind you of the Eternal’s enduring love, and why we should praise Him.     Let me tell you again how the Eternal gives and gives and gives. All God’s wonders and goodness are done for Israel’s benefit     according to His great mercy and compassion.  (Isaiah 63:7, Voice ) Then I remembered my email from Dictionary.com : Subsequently, the word “so” just got so interesting. Here's a summary (for my quick reference): How is 'so' being used? 1. as a filled pause, much in the way that “well,” “um,” and “like” are used in conversation 2. To begin with ‘so,’…is to signal that one’s coming words are chosen for their relevance to the listener.” Speaker 1: So, how do you know Myra? Speaker 2: College. Speaker 1: So, I met Myra rock climbing at Yosemite…  In this example, the sentence-initial so is being used in tw...

Being Part of the Body means

#1Co14.12 I am needed, and I need to stay attached - no matter what happens. For the body does not consist of one member but of many.   (1 Corinthians 12:14) Image from " Each Part Is Important ." -Olive Tree blog I belong, and I have some tasks to do. My tasks are specific. Just as the parts of the body have a special purpose, so do I. These tasks are only accomplished when I remain a part of the Body.

Recover From Failure

#Lke22.32  My Intercessor in heaven is praying for me!  I am never alone in my darkest moment. My Father is not surprised by the challenges that wears and wearies me down.  He prepares me to overcome such in advance.  But if I fail, the Lord has already prepared to save me. I will not fail forever.  I may fail, but I will consciously hold on to Faith. I will not give in or give out. I will recover.  And I'll even do more than just barely survive. I will rise up again and be a source of strength to others.  My recovery will be a witness that if I can do it, so can they.  What seems to be my greatest weakness can also be my greatest strength.   And it's all because I've been prayed for!    But I have prayed for you. I have prayed that your faith will hold firm and that you will recover from your failure and become a source of strength for your brothers here. (Luke 22:32, Voice )  ...
