For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Science is finally starting to understand
https://dot.discovery.org/webmail/563722/1739426116/6d7685bba539f57f3e2c752199ffe77a9304e170e39454bfdf0b899586c2306f
Thank you, sis.
How much we ever believe we know or discover, we remain human, fallible, arrogant (yes, I’ll say it), and ignorant of God Who has warned that our thoughts are not His, and His designs and works down to their smallest intricacies.
I have listened to a few honest scientists on several subjects who have admitted that what they have seen has altered completely their view that God does not exist. One lost soul at a time…
Israel Update:
~We are devastated: This is one of the worst days, two half tone Iranian missiles made it through and hit populated areas. The first one was in Dimona, a city in the south. It’s the city of our nuclear site by the way. 59 people got injured. There is a 12 years old boy in bad condition and one young lady in moderate condition and the others are moderate-light and light conditions.
Then there was a hit in another south city, Arad city. 88 injured. 10 in bad condition, 19 moderate, the others are light. Bad condition may die or have a disability after treatment, require surgery usually, some can recover, bad condition indicate “a threat to life now”. There were children between the badly injured.
The only reason that there is no one dead is that the hit missed the building in a few feet. But there are some 20 buildings damaged. It was a massive exposition. It was a very crowded block of ultra religious people with many children and large families.
May God heal the wounded fast and help their friends and families.
~Today lead people in the IRGC are bragging how they “cracked the israeli defenses and from now on they control our space”. One was the Head of Space and Air Force. The other a lead Parliament offical, the Chairman.
I can tell you that their days are numbered. Then I see national TV of the regime is calling to make or purchase nuclear weapons as soon as possible. If you haven’t noticed we are dealing with Nazis. People who dedicate themselves to annihilate another people. I do not know any other nation who is dedicated to the annihilation of another people as a whole.
~Iran fired two ballistic missiles to Diego Garcia Base of the US. It missed. Those are missiles that can go 4000 km (2,485 miles). This is the first time we discovered they have this capability. Their Sec of Foreign Affairs was on US media not so long ago saying that “Iran limited itself to 2,000 km only, because it has no hostility to the US or Europe”.
Those missile can reach all of Europe, Paris, London, etc…
Israel warned them for a long time that Iran wants to be able to target them. Europe ignored. Israeli Chief of Staff just indicated it to them again.
~Trump gave Iran 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz or the US will target their power, starting from the largest one. Their response is that if he does so they will target US power across the Middle East.
Just to clarify, the US relies on local power grids. You can tell what is coming. But I give it my little twist and suspect that Qatar’s power grid will be targeted. I already mentioned that “Qatar is getting punished”.
This is my belief, not a news report.
~Note: If you followed me for a long time you understand Jihadi mindset. Unfortunately Trump is learning it the hard way. I don’t blame him, he is a Westerner. He has been dealing with them like normal Western people. Trying to cut deals, trying to show them that there are actions and reactions, cause and effect, “you do this then we will make you suffer that”. The usual “rewards and penalties”.
But they don’t care. Many of them are willing to die. They lie to others and to themselves. Right now they managed to hit Israelis and they are emboldened and bragging. They feel winning because we had civilian casualties.
Talking with them about money and deals when for decades their own people are suffering economic hardship while they spend the money of the nation on high salaries to terror organizations and building bigger and bigger weapons and munitions. Like Hamas who had billions, whined about hardship in Gaza while spending billions on tunnels.
I can tell that Trump is now getting it. He seems more and more frustrated with their inhumanity and lack of reason. And while I told you that Iranians are smart, Jihadists are very stupid. Hate makes people stupid. This is one of the reasons why we win against Arabs, dealing with hateful people is hard but they make stupid mistakes. End of rant. Not a criticism on Trump. At list he is getting it now. Democrats would never understand.
~I told you yesterday that I know my people, what we think, intend and may or may not do. I said that the attack on the gas was not done without coordination. But now after what they did to us today there may be a real conflict because we want a proper retaliation, we want deterrence. They need to see and feel consequences. And the US may or may not approve. The US is trying to contain retaliations against oil sites. I think that symbols of the regime should go down. The Parliament, the Supreme Court of the IRGC< etc… I would rather it be their gas sites but we may have to compromise and do something that Trump agrees. I hope and think that Bibi is able to get coordination with Trump.
But I have a feeling that a bigger thing is ot the horizon and we may take our time, for example the takeover of the Iranian oil that Trump is thinking about. Or we may join an attack on their power grid. I will bet with you that we are in thier computers that operate the power grid and many other computers.
I hope I was not too emotional. I had to calm down some of my family, people are really upset.
Let’s hope and pray for better days and healing.
May God protect Israel and the USA, the soldiers and civilians.
May God free Iran now.
“ Hate makes people stupid.”. So true. I just wrote about that elsewhere.
❤️
Once again, friend David, thank you for your cogent insight. It is always worthwhile to have someone with “skin-in-the-game” who shares their observational skills with us.
Re: Trump’s strategy. What I see is a social psychological interaction practice called “dramaturgy”. Trump is a master at creating a “negotiation space” which he wants everyone to see and believe. What we don’t see is his “back region” which is where the real plans are.
Trump ain’t sayin’ what his real plans are. My guess is regime change. The brutal rulers, oppressor of Iranian people, need to go away. We know who they are, we know what they believe.
The current rulers of Iran are simply not compatible with the modern world. A cease fire and return to the status-quo just means that the Iranian jihad will continue. Trump and his ally, Bibi Netanyahu, are the perfect world leaders to solve this very threatening problem. The next chapter in this on-going drama should be rather interesting. 🙂
Thank you my friend. Understood about Trump. Yes, we will see where it all goes.
Praying for peace, healing and safety for God’s chosen and injured…thank you for the updates.
❤️
“May God heal the wounded fast and help their friends and families. ”
Amen
Thank you David for all your insightful comments.
❤️ 🙏🏻
No words, David…
There can be none from anyone who doesn’t daily listen every moment for incoming destruction, not knowing when but that it will be.
President Trump is an apt and quick learner. He loves the Israeli people and no doubt is in constant contact with his own generals and Bibi. Islam is a cult of death…theirs or anyone else’s, it doesn’t matter. Life to them means absolutely nothing, which is a thing that feeble Western minds still cannot (or willfully will not) understand. Even as it is accommodated and protected, making hideous deep inroads into our own nations. I sit here in Texas, astounded as mosque after mosque is built, rising like spring daffodils anywhere where there is a piece of land to build on. I need say nothing about Europe. It is lost.
God be with you, my friend, and your people. For surely He is.
I am keeping you all in prayer, as well as President Trump…that he will be divinely guided to irradicate the satanic forces in Iran which must be reduced to the state they adore and worship.
Without mercy. Amen 🙏🏻
Thank you. I am a big fan – of you!
Oh bless, dear friend. I may not comment as I should, but please be assured that I read your enlightening posts and keep you close to my heart always 💕
❤️
Well said, dear Bet. Very. Well. Said. Trump and Bibi are going to save our world. And re: the new mosques? Not populated by native Texas or even native Americans.
Please explain how this state of affairs could be allowed to happen in this state, Garrison? Are we really governed by complete historically ignorant imbeciles? Abbott was been 7-figure funded by a Pakistani Muslim in the election prior to this one…and again. The Texas legislature dedicated a Pakistani “Appreciation” Day last year to mark Muslim “contributions” to Texas (!!!!).
No use asking….it seems that we are so governed.
As always with Texas politics . . . money talks. 🙂 Well financed Muslim NGOs (backed by the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood) have been established here for decades.
Some antisemites can share ideas with you on the various things they can do to Israel that make your blood run cold. Bottom line, Islam is evil. The offspring of Ishmael have too much pride and not enough compassion. Thank God that Isaac is the son of promise. That leaves Ishmael in a lesser position. One of these days Yahweh will deal with Allah.
Here is the lying Iranian Minister of Foriegn Affairs about the long range missiles.

Bless-ed Sunday, Garrison 💕 How appropriate for you to post Bach today as yesterday was the anniversary of his birth. I remain astounded by the depth and breadth of his works. Even more so when I consider that he had to write down one note at a time for each instrument or voice, hearing within himself exactly how he wanted each work to sound, many complicated and lengthy.
He said that each composition was written for the Glory of God. And so is it a stretch to think he would have perhaps had, in a manner of speaking, Holy assistance? Certainly his great gift came from God…I am settling in with my early morning tea to listen. Wonderful!!
The other day I had a sudden desire to hear the Welsh voices which so stunned me the first time I visited Wales as a tourist, not knowing, never suspecting it would become my home for two decades.
Male voice choirs are in almost every town and village, but the Treorchy Choir is one of my favourites. In this recording, the organ unfortunately fades and almost disappears, but it little matter. It’s the voices which overwhelm and shine…and fill my heart today as they did so long ago.
Watch the film How Green Was My Valley, my grandmother’s clear alto voice can be heard above the others. Both my Grandparents were in the Welsh Prysbyterian Church Choir in L.A Ca.
Beautiful voices, Cathy. How wonderful that you had grandparents who possessed them. I’ve seen that film many times, as well as my favourite, The Corn is Green. Both long before I found myself in Wales. Which I might add that I never expected it to be so breathtakingly beautiful.
You may have noticed the Treorchy Choir finished this lovely hymn in Welsh.
Was thinking of you when I posted this hour long compilation. Can’t get much better than this. Thanks, dear friend.
No it cannot. Bless you for thinking of me 😌😘
Thanks for sharing those, Garrison.. very enjoyable
You’re welcom, friend benzy. These performances are indeed exceptional. 🙂

When people who once spread truth make a turn around and become deluded and spread lies. How do you explain it?
Here is one. Joe Rogan. After Bibi has been on enough footage a few times, he is still spreading the “Bibi is dead “ conspiracy. Why?
Would you say they were captured by Satan? Delusion is hard to explain when it’s someone who once spread truth.
https://rumble.com/v77fqgy-what-happened-to-rogan-bibi-is-dead.-spreaders-of-truth-in-the-service-of.html
Do you really expect discernment from comic, Fear Factor host, UFC announcer and commentator, Joe Rogan?
I thought his podcast shtick was his open-mindedness, his willingness to listen.
Most people who push “open minds” are really manipulating others to discard and change. But once you agree with them, you can’t be allowed to change again. Though you are still credited with being open minded, no matter how shut your mind has become.
Several have pointed out that the purpose of having an open mind I’d to close it on something better. At least they are ‘open’ about that.
But others have pointed out that keeping one’s mind perpetually open is like a sewer taking in everything.
That last describes Joe’s show pretty well. Everything includes truth and lies.
We often have a bad habit of crediting those from whom we hear truth as being on our side. That leaves us vulnerable to deceivers.
But I don’t give Rogan that much credit either. Not a deceiver. Not a fallen angel. And definitely not a genius. Nor even trained in thinking.
Just an open mind spreading its contents far and wide.
Thank you. I believe his podcast is number one in the world or the top two. I can’t believe how stupid he is, a bad sign for Western society as a whole. Yes, “open mind” is the new pretense of wisdom. I just had an argument with someone on Facebook. Someone from the US who thinks he is righteous because he is open minded to all sides while can’t distinguish between good and evil.
An inability to decide is covered up by “open mind”. When it has to do with good and evil it is condoning evil.
When I was still teaching I watched generations of students show up for college level classes . . . who didn’t read well and were not able to make the kind of abstract comparisons demanded by social theory. Hence the “open mind” claim as an excuse for ignorance.
Thanks. Good to know.

James Black
(1924-2010)
Scottish pharmacologist, developer of treatments for heart disease (propranolol) and stomach ulcers (cimetidine) (Nobel Prize for Medicine, 1988), dies at 85
Biography: Sir James Whyte Black was a Scottish pharmacologist recognized for his fundamental contributions to the development of medicines for treating several major diseases. Black’s most notable achievements include the development of propranolol, the first successful beta-blocker, and cimetidine, a drug used to treat stomach ulcers.
He shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1988 with Gertrude B. Elion and George H. Hitchings, awarded “for their discoveries of important principles for drug treatment.”
Born in Scotland, Black graduated from the University of St Andrews School of Medicine with a degree in medicine. He initially pursued a career in veterinary medicine before switching to human medicine and pharmacology.
In the 1950s, while working at the University of Glasgow’s Veterinary School, Black began his research into adrenergic beta-receptor blocking drugs. His work led to the development of propranolol in the 1960s, which was a revolutionary treatment for heart disease, particularly for the management of angina and hypertension. Propranolol’s success marked a significant shift in cardiovascular disease treatment and opened up a new therapeutic field.
Later, while working for the pharmaceutical company Smith, Kline & French (now part of GlaxoSmithKline), Black developed cimetidine, which was the first drug effective in inhibiting stomach acid production and treating peptic ulcers. Prior to cimetidine, treatment for ulcers primarily involved surgical interventions. Cimetidine drastically changed this, providing a non-surgical treatment option for millions of patients.
Black’s approach to drug discovery was methodical and theory-driven, focusing on understanding basic physiological processes and how drugs could be designed to interact with them. His work is seen as an early and influential example of rational drug design, which has since become a standard approach in pharmacology.
Apart from his Nobel Prize, Sir James Black received numerous honors and awards, including being knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1981.

During this winter we have had marginal La Nina conditions. That is about to change. Though NOAA says El Nino conditions would appear sometime between June and August, Joe Bastardi says it is coming on much earlier and stronger than that (see his Saturday Summary).
A switch to El Nino conditions during the Spring generally means cooler and wetter conditions for the US during April and May.
If the El Nino strengthens, as it is forecasted to do, we may well see Super El Nino conditions during the Summer. That does not necessarily mean hotter days for most of us, but it does mean warmer than normal nights. It would also mean a neutered Hurricane Season.
The Storm Prediction Center has not changed it’s convective outlook for today. Still a slight chance of severe weather over the entire Ohio River valley up into most of PA.

The problem is that threats directed at Iran will not work.
Decapitating the head of the snake left all the little hydras spread over the entire country with directions to launch and targets to launch at when they can no longer contact a central command or government.
Attrition must continue. Every time they launch a ballistic missile that location is pin pointed. Destroy all drone and missile manufacture capability, any stockpiles that can be located and take out the deployed missiles and drones as they are located.
Targeting the Iranian power, water and oil may have long term negative effects. Just MHO.

Verse of the Day for Sunday, March 22, 2026
✟
“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:”
James 1:19 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR JAMES 1:19
This epistle of James is one of the most instructive writings in the New Testament. Being chiefly directed against particular errors at that time brought in among the Jewish Christians, it does not contain the same full doctrinal statements as the other epistles, but it presents an admirable summary of the practical duties of all believers. The leading truths of Christianity are set forth throughout; and on attentive consideration, it will be found entirely to agree with St. Paul’s statements concerning grace and justification, while it abounds with earnest exhortations to the patience of hope and obedience of faith and love, interspersed with warnings, reproofs, and encouragements, according to the characters addressed. The truths laid down are very serious, and necessary to be maintained; and the rules for practice ought to be observed in all times. In Christ there are no dead and sapless branches, faith is not an idle grace; wherever it is, it brings forth fruit in works.How to apply to God under troubles, and how to behave in prosperous and in adverse circumstances. (1-11) To look upon all evil as proceeding from ourselves, and all good from God. (12-18) The duty of watching against a rash temper, and of receiving the word of God with meekness. (19-21) And of living according thereto. (22-25) The difference between vain pretences and real religion. (26,27)
19-21 Instead of blaming God under our trials, let us open our ears and hearts to learn what he teaches by them. And if men would govern their tongues, they must govern their passions. The worst thing we can bring to any dispute, is anger. Here is an exhortation to lay apart, and to cast off as a filthy garment, all sinful practices. This must reach to sins of thought and affection, as well as of speech and practice; to every thing corrupt and sinful. We must yield ourselves to the word of God, with humble and teachable minds. Being willing to hear of our faults, taking it not only patiently, but thankfully. It is the design of the word of God to make us wise to salvation; and those who propose any mean or low ends in attending upon it, dishonour the gospel, and disappoint their own souls.
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

SPEAK LIFE AND BLESSING
When we face challenges out of the blue
Our first instinct might be what went askew
We wonder what it was that caused the rift
Not recognizing what hit was a gift
We tend to take what occurs personally
Like some sort of punishment deservedly
When really it was nothing of the sort
Nor to the extent of fault to report
We have free will to make our choices
And that includes how we use our voices
We can rant and rave and complain why me
Or we can speak life and blessing to be
We are all prone to the seven deadly
We can speak out a tirade in medley
We can side with that demonic attack
Give negative thoughts credence right back
The effect of the weight we have laid down
Will surely defeat us cause us to drown
In a sea of self-pity barely function
Until we reach a decision junction
The difference between blessing and curse
Is the curse tends to make our plight much worse
It augments into a vicious cycle
We are less fruitful not at all vital
Speak life and blessing for each consequence
A positive outlook just makes more sense
It energizes God-given gifts in you
The Spirit inside comes alive when you do

HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY !!! ❤️❤️❤️
good Sunday morning
duchesse thankyou. Peace
Blessed morning, Treepers. When I meditate and pray, I follow a simple pattern – I journal. I thank God for Who He Is and I ask Him to reveal Himself to me through His Word. Randomly (though it is never “random”)… I open God’s Word to where He Wants me to be, so I can learn from Him.
Today, I opened to Job 31. I read it. I made notes. I prayed. Then, I closed my Bible and opened it again randomly – again – God landed me at Job 31. That’s a lot of very thin pages, thousands of them, to land on the very same one. I believe there are no coincidences. One does not walk in The Faith as I have and not believe fully in God’s Divine Providence and Perfect Timing.
Grant me the space to share such with you, for I am compelled to do so. My prayer is for such message to land within your hearts and plant seeds of fruitfulness and may God bless you all the days of your lives.
Please note: my NIV Bible is over 35 years old. It is weathered and worn, the pages dog-eared. I went to BibleGateway.com to note these words herein and noticed that there were deviations – mostly pronoun-wise- and I dutifully updated the words BACK to the original script within my written Bible. Please be aware – and know that God Sees every warp, every stretch, every inuendo, every message blocked, and every pinhole of Light and… through it all… GOD WILL BE PRAISED. evil does not overcome, it does not persevere, it does not rest in full eternity of dignity and reign. satan is a defeated foe. (Purposefully not capitalized – for satan does not deserve such status.) Additionally, all instances where God is mentioned – in His Self, His Works, or His Promises – I capitalize Him – as a way of tribute and praise. My offering today:
Job 31 New International Version
31
“I made a covenant with my eyes
not to look lustfully at a girl.
2
For what is man’s lot from God above,
his heritage from the Almighty On High?
3
Is it not ruin for the wicked,
disaster for those who do wrong?
4
Does He not See my ways
and Count my every step? (emphasis mine)
5
“If I have walked in falsehood
or my foot has hurried after deceit—
6
let God Weigh me in honest scales
and He Will Know that I am blameless—
7
if my steps have turned from the path,
if my heart has been led by my eyes,
or if my hands have been defiled,
8
then may others eat what I have sown,
and may my crops be uprooted.
9
“If my heart has been enticed by a woman,
or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10
then may my wife grind another man’s grain,
and may other men sleep with her.
11
For that would have been shameful,
a sin to be judged.
12
It is a fire that burns to destruction;
it would have uprooted my harvest.
13
“If I have denied justice to my menservants and
maidservants,
when they had a grievance against me,
14
what will I do when God Confronts me?
What will I answer when Called to account?
15
Did not He Who Made me in the womb Make them?
Did not the Same One Form us both within our mothers?
16
“If I have denied the desires of the poor
or let the eyes of the widow grow weary,
17
if I have kept my bread to myself,
not sharing it with the fatherless—
18
but from my youth I reared him as a father would,
and from my birth I guided the widow—
19
if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing,
or a needy man without a garment,
20
and his heart did not bless me
for warming him with the fleece from my sheep,
21
if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,
knowing that I had influence in court,
22
then let my arm fall from the shoulder,
let it be broken off at the joint.
23
For I dreaded destruction from God,
and for fear of His Splendor I could not do such things.
24
“If I have put my trust in gold
or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’
25
if I have rejoiced over my great wealth,
the fortune my hands had gained,
26
if I have regarded the sun in its radiance
or the moon moving in splendor,
27
so that my heart was secretly enticed
and my hand offered them a kiss of homage,
28
then these also would be sins to be judged,
for I would have been unfaithful to God On High.
29
“If I have rejoiced at my enemy’s misfortune
or gloated over the trouble that came to him—
30
I have not allowed my mouth to sin
by invoking a curse against their life—
31
if the men of my household have never said,
‘Who has not been filled with Job’s meat?’—
32
but no stranger had to spend the night in the street,
for my door was always open to the traveler—
33
if I have concealed my sin as men do,
by hiding my guilt in my heart
34
because I so feared the crowd
and so dreaded the contempt of the clans
that I kept silent and would not go outside—
35
(“Oh, that I had someone to hear me!
I sign now my defense—let the Almighty Answer me;
let my accuser put his indictment in writing.
36
Surely I would wear it on my shoulder,
I would put it on like a crown.
37
I would give him an account of my every step;
like a prince I would approach him.) — (here Job’s accuser is either (1) a human adversary (perhaps one of the three friends) or 2) God Himself. In any event, Job assumes that accusations have been lodged against him before the Court of Heaven to which God Has responded with judgements.) – (a footnote from my study Bible)
38
“if my land cries out against me
and all its furrows are wet with tears,
39
if I have devoured its yield without payment
or broken the spirit of its tenants,
40
then let briers come up instead of wheat
and stinkweed instead of barley.”
The words of Job are ended.
Good to see you friend
☘️
Stay in the word
Hold on to that bible
That’s a keeper
I love old bibles
Realy good to see you
from The Collects for the Fifth Sunday of Lent:
the original Collect:
“We beseech thee, Almighty God, mercifully to look upon thy people; that by thy great goodness they may be governed and preserved evermore, both in body and soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
the revised Collect:
“Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.”
The keynote: God, our Father.
Apologies for being late with today’s benediction. Have a wonderful and very blessed Sunday Treeper friends. 🙂
This is our customary Treeper Church Sunday benediction. We post it here as a way of inviting our friends and visitors to experience the soulful experience of solace. This is intentionally a quiet place. We hope the presence of Our Lord will inspire a little faith. Our Lord loves us and want’s us to be a part of His Family. All it takes to do this is our personal acceptance of Him. Do this and you are in . . .
-💖💞
