A Sight to See

Jan17

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Have you looked at the heavens recently? In January 2025 eight planets will be visible in the night sky. A friend sent me a picture showing the moon and 3 planets the other day. What an amazing work of God as He shows us planets lined up by His amazing splendor.

🌹O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!

Swayed

Jan14

Amplified Bible Translation:

With smooth words[of flattery and praise] he will turn to godlessness those who [are willing to] disregard the [Mosaic] covenant, but the people who [are spiritually mature and] know their God will display strength and take action [to resist]. 
Daniel 11:32 AMP
https://www.biblegateway.com/versions/Amplified-Bible-AMP/

How vulnerable are you to smooth words that distort the truth of God? Do you know the Word well enough to recognize a smooth talker from a truth teller? How well do you know God?

Are you one who knows God and will stand strong and take action or will you be swayed?

🌹By smooth words he will turn to godlessness those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will display strength and take action.

Hidden Adornment

A beautifully adorned woman can, when opening her mouth, be less beautifully adorned.

What is hidden in your heart?

But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. (or woman)

Settling

Jan6

And he (Satan) led Him (Jesus) up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world (the inhabited earth) in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, β€œI will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
Luke 4:5-6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/lk.4.5-6.NASB1995

Matthew 4:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.4.9.NASB1995

“The world!” I’m not settling for this world when God offers the best. Good things come to those who wait. The best is yet to come.

Yet those who wait for the Lord Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
Isaiah 40:31 NASB1995
