FEARLESSNESS.

"The remarkable thing about fearing God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else." -Oswald Chambers

This video is a real-life demonstration of a Godly man of valor, a David-like shepherd, and a man chock full of wisdom, discernment, and clarity, and "equipped" to minister in this world, even to his "enemies" that intended harm.

(Those men did not know that they walked right in to "God's realm", where, in essence, they "invited" intervention from God Himself, via one of His own, a Godly warrior and a shepherd, uh-huh and amen.)

There are NO "accidents".

i accidentally tuned in to is program this morning. He was speaking on the origins of Lucifer/Satan's sin, and i listened to him yammer on and on, incredulous that what he was yammering on about, had nothing to do with ANYTHING that was Biblical.

He, like so many other "preachers" and "bible teachers", was "spinning stories".

Apparently he assumes that his listeners and/or congregation don't have a clue about what the Bible says, nor do they study it.

Nausating.

This blesses me. i pray it blesses others as well.

Happy Caturday.

This has been a "theme song" of mine.

My heavenly Father is the only One Who ever lifted my downcast head and raised me up and gave me a reason to "go on".

"But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head." -Psalm 3:1-3

He was innocent. He died for us, the guilty.

We can NEVER EVER "repay" Him for His gift of salvation that He died to give us.

We can not even BEGIN to fathom the depth of such grace.

happy 2023

A happy 2023 to you too. Thank you.

Happy Caturday.

(Well, cats and "friends") :O)

Fear.

"The fear of the Lord is a Life-Giving Fountain." -Proverbs 14:27

There is a book written by Jerry Bridges titled "The Joy of Fearing God" that delves into what it means to "fear" God, vs "fear of man" and fearing ev'ry thing else.

It benefits us to study this and to "understand" it.

When we "fear" God, we fear NOTHING and NO ONE else.

"The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everythibg else." -Oswald Chambers

When we honor and fear the Lord, and thus respect and obey His Words, He will literally "chase us down" with His blessings.

"And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God." -Deuteronomy 28:2

For those who have ears to hear.

My heavenly Father is the only One Who EVER "listened" to me, and when i had no words, only He "heard" and "understood" the "language" of my tears, and thus my heart.

"I love the Lord because He hears my prayers and answers them. Because He bends down and listens, I will pray as long as I breathe!" -Psalm 116:1-2

For those who have ears to hear.

i am praying for you, if you are willing. Especially for any stumbling in the dark, hopeless, seeing no light at the end of that long, dark, tunnel. Even when we have no words and w ard shut down and oh so weary, God hears and He understands the silent cries of our hearts.

i've been there. And i'm thankful for those few who prayed for me throughout my life, even when i didn't want those prayers. God gave them the grace to see the big picture and the disastrous misery and destruction of my lineage and consequently my life. i believe theif prayers, and thus God's response to those prayers was pivotal in my survival when i should've been "done in".

In particular, my great-grandfather, who i never met, but from the stories i heard about him, was a Godly man, and fervently loved God and prayed for his family and the generations after him. i believe God honored his prayers and that is why i, of all people, responded to God's inexplicable grace, mercy, and forgiveness.

i'm eternally thankful that my great-grabdfather prayed for me. i'm looking forward to seeing his face in heaven.
