Burn in me, Fire of God, Burn till my heart is pure; Burn till your life shines out in me, Steadfast and strong and sure. Burn in me, Fire of God, Spare not for price not pain; Burn till all dross of earth consume, Only your gold remain. Burn in me, Fire of God, Burn till your eyes can see Jesus' own image, strong and sure, Formed by your grace in me! 

He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man The  Lord  taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. Psalms 147:10-11

"Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;" ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:12‬ ‭ One of the ongoing reminders of our studying of the Word at Oral has been, context of scripture. The boundless and unfathomable depths of the scripture never ceases to amaze me. We know that we serve the creator of the universe and that He is timeless. We know that He sent His only begotten Son, and John tells us that the Word was make flesh and dwelt among us. The holy scriptures that we have are the words of truth and yet I am blown away at the timelessness of the instructions from the Master of the Universe. Speaking of context, I went back and reread for the um-teenth time and yet for the first time once again, the 3rd chapter of Colossians. If ye be risen with Christ, set your affections on things above not on things on the earth. Mortify your members and put off anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy comm

"Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand." ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭19:20-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable." ~C. S. Lewis

12   I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. 13  Thy way, O God,  is  in the sanctuary: who  is so  great a God as  our  God? 14  Thou  art  the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. I have been doing a little research on natural ways to control blood pressure and came across an article on transcendental meditation. Look it up yourself if you are curious or don't know what it is.  Made me think of meditating on God and His word, then I read a friend's FB post about his wife keeping a journal of her bible study time to have a record to come back to in the course of meditating on God and the things of note.  Phil 4:8,9  8  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9  Those thing

     I don't mind sharing my thoughts to Facebook every now and then, but I tire quickly of rants ranging from politics to religion on the facebag so I thought it was time to revisit this outlet again. You are welcome to read or leave and comment or not as you wish.
