Followers of Messiah Jesus go to the Scriptures to get honest and true
questions and answers, for: "the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper
than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit,
and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and...
I wrote the short meditation below, after reading Psalm 26, with a special look
at the beginning of verse 11: “But as for me, I will walk in my integrity…”
I end some lines by citing a verse I was focusing on.
At the beginning of Psalm 26, we could easily think that David sounds rather
cocky...
My baptism, sometimes, helps me overcome
the bumps in the road;
there’s nowhere but up.
I learn to better trust others
(didn’t two hands take me under?)
when I recall the drenching of myself,
all coverings for naught,
and all of me rising body, mind, and soul
to clapping affirmations from others...
After reading this from Psalm 22:26 (MEV):
…They who seek the Lord will praise him - may
your hearts live forever!
And also thinking about that street phrase,
"Don't be so heavenly-minded that you're no
earthly good"
Just how grounded is untethered faith?
Is it “no earthly-good” to be...
(After reading Hebrews 2:1-4)
This salvation first announced by the Lord:
that He the Lamb of God for sinners wore
all guilt for sin, it on the Cross bore,
so by repentance we live evermore.
Evermore, rescued for the promised place,
that new Earth and Heaven where Christ shall reign.
In so...
(after reading Hebrews 2)
Lord, You help descendants of Abraham,
bypassing angels to give to them
so great a salvation,
Oh saints, pay attention!
Jesus, our High Priest
declares, where we meet,
He is not ashamed
to call us His “Brethren”!
When we consider the "whole counsel of God", there is one irrefutable conclusion:
the existence of creation and humanity confirm that God is.
For instance, the Apostle Paul conveys that Creation essentially announces the Person,
reality, and power of God:
19 For what may be known about God is...
(after reading Luke 24:50-53 and Acts 2:1-41)
Rumors of the Upper Room
were that they cowered from fear, in gloom.
Yet, acts of God (that different kind)
moved them in joyful prayer to abide.
Thus, though they knew not whence He came,
the Spirit of Jesus, as promised, flamed
and breathed upon...
(After reading Proverbs 4:20-27, Psalm 25:3, Luke 4:40, and Revelation 3:20)
Bend your ears, so you can hear
for your needy soul the written Word.
Incline your heart, your pulse—who you are,
God will work, Himself impart.
Christ healed them all, why not you?
No one who trusts will He refuse...
When Christ receives us to himself,
above green pastures and mountain elm,
where snowbound peaks are specks, starlights,
the Bride, prepared, bejeweled, shall shine.
Her fervent hope, by Abba arranged,
shall be fulfilled when trumpets blaze,
and she is taken quicker than sight
makes comprehend...
From 1 Timothy 1:6-7
5 The goal of this command is love,
which comes from a pure heart and a
good conscience and a sincere faith.
6 Some have wandered away from these
and turned to meaningless talk.
Sometimes, in tomes of seeking minds
we find how far the erudite
can stray from love, that life...
The Lord paid the Spirit-bail over my destiny,*
to walk on, my soul set free!
The old master, sin, wields no whip to make cower.
Scars of the past are just that: a past hour.
“Done left the plantation”, I have for some time.
Each step within Jesus’ will recalls the sublime
that New Jerusalem...
...after reading Isaiah 40:27-31
We can have strength without fully understanding
the depths of God’s seas and the timing of waves,
those fresh days when gales gather over the oceans,
the moments when gray skies loom over the lakes.
When we no more question the answers of each day,
we log every...
...from Isaiah 62:7
6...You who call on the Lord ,
give yourselves no rest,
7and give him no rest till he establishes
Jerusalem and makes her the praise of
the earth (NIV-1984)
Matthew 6:10
your kingdom come, your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven (NIV-1984)
What now, Bethlehem? You...
Pondering...
Micah 5:2 (KJV)
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

(thinking about Luke 2:8-20)
Every day is Christmas-like, the graced belief in Incarnation’s gift.
Yet, what is special on this Eve is the masses feel the void, Heaven’s mark missed.
The Church? We feel a strong but happy impulse: to share the Good News of Salvation come.
So sing the...
Trust, the hallmark of the union
of the Father-Spirit-Son,
each forming forever the One true God,
Whom believing Israel adores.
Though we read not, "Trinity",
revelation thrusts Him forward,
instilling in us awed allegiance
to the One who thus sovereignly comes forth
as loving Father, sending...
A few thoughts on John 2:23-25 (NIV-1984)
23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the
Passover Feast, many people saw the
miraculous signs he was doing and
believed in his name.
24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to
them, for he knew all men.
25 He did not need man's testimony
about man, for he...
Concerning 2 Samuel 11:14-17, 2 Samuel 23:8 and 2 Samuel 23:39. Then, imagining
Uriah the Hittite’s last day of loyal service to the Lord G-d and King David:
As men, set ‘round Uriah, slunk deftly away
and enemy arrows struck sinews and veins,
could these have stung more than being betrayed
by...
(Scripture is taken from the NIV1984; information in brackets is taken from the Interlinear on biblehub.com. Italics are mine)
1 John 2:1
My dear children, I write this to you [2nd person singular] so that you [2nd person singular] will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we [2nd person plural]...
