Lamentations 3

I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of God's wrath.

He has led me and made me walk in an unlit and dark path.

Surely it is me He has turned His hand against.

Time and again He ages my flesh and my skin.

Ye, He has besieged me and broken my bones.

Surrounded me with bitterness and woe.

Set me in dark places Like the dead of long ago.

He has hedged me in, so that I cannot get out.

My chains weigh me down.

And my prayers are shut out.

He has blocked my paths with hewn stone,

My paths are crooked the way out is unknown.

A bear lying in ambush so to me has He been.

A lion waiting for prey, He has torn me to shreds

He has me all alone, He draws His bow

And He lets it go, true flight from all His arrows.

My flesh is pierced, Like spears that tear

Through my loins like nails, So my strengths fails.

The people now they mock

In song the crowds taunt me

My teeth break from rocks.

Ashes the clothes on me.

He has moved peace far from me.

I've forgotten my prosperity.

My strength and hope are no more

The have departed from before the Lord

Call to mind O Lord, my sufferings all.

My roamings the wormwood and the gall

But even in all my afflicted state

This knowledge I commemorated

Through the Lord's mercies great

we will not be incinerated

God's compassion doesn't fail, he's faithful.

He gives more grace each day I'm grateful.

Ye, Wait on the Lord; and patiently hope. For in truth,

It's good to bear the yoke in your youth.

He causes me grief; but this is my consolation

He won't cast off for good. He pleads my soul's salvation.

Running colors

In my own head. Ahhk.

I know what I need to do with my mind though. It's like Jesus said, love God with heart soul mind and strength.

It is that easy. But easier said than done.

I run up my flag so they know I'm a bondslave of Christ's.

But when the rain comes will I take down my flag? Often I long for tests. Gimme that rain. But even if I don't take it down, I sag. Ahhhk.

That's a gutteral "ahhhk' btw.

I've got conflicting feelings. The spirit's willing.This flesh needs killing. Gotta get to kneeling.

This one day is insignificant in the grand scheme of things. But I'll repent, return, and recommit.

I love the word "No". I will through the Spirit not waste my time. "I can make it, in HIS strength man, I can say this... Can't do,there ain't nothin' I can't do." Wooo!

This is me just trying to change my mindset. Like one of my previous posts talks 'bout.

Though He slay me...

Listened to a song called "Immutable"; which got me thinking. If God changed, He couldn't be trusted. If God lied, He couldn't be trusted. If God could be wrong, He couldn't be trusted. If God wasn't all-powerful, He couldn't be trusted. Thankfully He is who He is; that's why we call Him the I Am.

Psalm 42:11 "Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God."

My God in whom I put my trust.

What is man’s glory?

****Bible verses in bold

But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.

In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God.

The silver-haired head is a crown of glory, If it is found in the way of righteousness.

The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, And his glory is to overlook a transgression.

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

1 The LORD

2 God

3 Silver head

4 Overlooking a transgression

5 To search out a matter

6 Woman

This is all I could find quickly….

Now… even though these things are our glory; we shouldn’t glory in them; we are commanded to glory in God though.

saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

It is not good to eat much honey; So to seek one’s own glory is not glory

We can glory in God’s work. How He let’s us know Him. How He uses weak vessels for His purposes.

Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the LORD.

I am in awe that an awesome God would amend an awful sinner. Hallelujah!

Also seems I am quick to glory in myself. It's not good. I need to reflect any glory I get to God. If I start to glory in "my" actions; I need to remember it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God,

And it is God who gives me faith

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

"All the credit goes to Him... We played our part, but in the end; All my righteousness is His, My obedience is His, All the good I've ever done...All the glory goes to Him!"

Praise God I'm not a vessel of wrath!

Happy is...

Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;

Happy are the people who are in such a state; Happy are the people whose God is the LORD!

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the LORD his God,

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding.

(Wisdom) She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who retain her.

Happy is he who has mercy on the poor…

Happy is he who trusts in the LORD

Happy is the man who is always reverent,

Happy is he who keeps the law.

Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

Change

A mindset can be changed by a new perspective. A perspective can be controlled by faith. And faith can be molded by the Word of God.

Romans 10:17

My soul has dwelt too long With one who hates peace.

I am for peace, but I'll fight for it. I won't be ashamed of Jesus, or He'll be ashamed of me.

They want peace from God. They'll get a piece of Hell.

Their wounds are sin, and I'll rub the word in 'em. It can bring healing or damnation. get me a soap box.

Don't wanna hear it? Don't step near me. These feet bring the gospel. Good news to some, but an aroma of death to the perishing type.

I'm getting sick of side stepping the Word. I've got a fire in my bones; and it can't be quenched.

Wanna diss me as a Christian? Fine. You don't realize the blessing I'll get. Great is my reward; You can't take that. You can take my life; but not my faith.

I can't be snatched out of the Father's hands.

Hmmm

It's a different style today.

Been blastin' Bible books in my brain all day.

I need to look up Ahaz. What was his character?

Why do I like the book Job so much? What can I take away from it? And what of Elihu?

Why don't I preach the Psalms at myself more? And the Proverbs? Wisdom, and a lot of it.

Job's and Isaiah's reactions to seeing God. Woe is me. I abhor myself.

What can I learn from Ecclesiastes? Well, there's a give away near the end.

Will I make myself conform? Or will I remain as I am. Will I press or be crushed? God knows.

I am weak. But not in God.

Leaves

Leaves how are you a slave? Cuz I scramble the letters.

What are your chains? Scriptures letters are fetters!

Not a slave to the law, or a slave to sin.

A slave to my Pa, but check my inheritance.

Romans 1:1, that’s how I feel.

Set apart for the gospel, you know the deal.

I’ve been called to be holy, to live for God solely,

to live for Gods glory, Who saves like a goalie.

If I’m not chastened, I ain’t a son.

I’m a slave, but yet still a son.

Said yes to God, I’m really committed.

Obeying the Word, I’ll take what I’m sentenced.

God is my judge, the Three in one the witness.

They don’t overlook sin, but they can give forgiveness.

But they aren’t unjust, don’t expect injustice.

My judge is just, in fact He’s the justest.

He judges in justice, when He judges injustice.

When He sends His rebuke, I do not begrudge it.

All to Jesus I will give, For I know my Redeemer lives!

I guess I'm back...for real? Idk.

Got encouraged recently to do what you like as praise to God. Well I like writing cheesy rhymes (they don't have to be cheesy XD).

But I remember doing the writing, idk why I pretty much stopped. Had the day off so here I am.

Anyway All glory to God. Nothing else.

Be wary of worthless words.

I’ve been thinking a lot about cursing, cussing, swearing(oaths), euphemisms, and, empty/idle words. Today I’m mainly talking idle words, but a lot of these can be idle. I guess the first question should be “what is an idle word”.

So without further ado... what is an idle word? Well some synonyms for idle are worthless, trivial, paltry, petty, frivolous, and, vain.

(I really hope I’m using the oxford comma correctly.)

I’d say that puts most expletives in the “idle” category. The majority of stand alone words that express frustration and anger are not necessary for much, nor are they prudent in most conversation.

If someone jumped out and scared you, you might say “Oh, _._._._.” Most four letter words that come out might not be God pleasing. I’m not saying you are some person who can’t control the tongue, I just want to warn people that you’ll give an account of your words on the day of judgment. Filthiness, foolish talking, and coarse jesting are not fitting for the saints. Obey the law.... God has plans for the sons of disobedience. Galatians 3:10

That’s it for now. Think prior to speaking. I’m out fam.

Submit to the commission.

Listen, we’ve been missin’ the vision of the mission we’ve been commissioned, that’s a sin of omission, not fishin’ for men. I don’t want dissension, I want an emission of evangelism driven by Christians. Who won’t give in, ‘cause we’ve been given forgiveness by Jesus the risen. He’s the remission for our transgressions, if we make confessions and confess Him, He’ll give us blessin’s. He’s given the provisions to take possession of the earth. Don’t mince words, present the pertinent information and commit to the Commission of Christian dominion. Anyone sittin’ on the fence when Christ descends from the heavens is against Him. In judgement unrepentant men who appear confident and competent will regress into despondent and disconsolate men, who’ll then go runnin’ to the mountains and petition them to pin ‘em in the granite. Wishin’ the commandments hadn’t application for ‘em. Should’ve listened to instruction. Instead they’ll meet destruction, ‘cause of they’re sin. The sin they’re ridden with will be their conviction and they’ll be thrown in the lit prison of hell, with a precipice sepertatin’ them from heaven and God.

Psalm 2

Why do the nations rage, and the people plot in vain?

The kings of the earth have set themselves in opposition,

and the rulers have gathered together with a proposition,

against the Lord, and against His anointed, against the king whom the Lord had appointed.

They said “Let us break their bonds in pieces, And cast away their cords from us.”

But not much shall come or their fuss.

He who sits in His palace shall laugh at their plans of malice.

He knows they’re going to fail, that’s how ridiculous their plan is.

The Lord shall hold them in disdain,

He shall distress them and say:

“Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion.

Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations,

You shall break them with a rod of iron”

Now therefore, be wise O kings, Be instructed,

Serve the Lord with fear, rejoice with trembling.

Blessed are all those who trust Him.

Psalm 1

Blessed is the man who walks not in the

counsel of the ungodly.

Nor stands in the sinners path,

nor sits in the seat where scorners sit at.

But his elation comes from the law and on its meditation.

He shall be like a tree planted by a brook

producing fruit whenever it should.

This tree rooted in silt, wilt not wilt.

The tree and its leaves will prosper,

The wicked are like finely chopped straw,

or a tree that’s topped off.

My King is a beast, so getting rid of the

wicked would be

a breeze, to say the least.

Men unruly, will not be judge and jury

nor shall they stand in the righteous congregation

The Lord knows the way of the righteous, it flourishes well,

But the ways of the ungodly will perish to hell.

Love the Rock and fear the Rock.

Everybody talks about how God is loving, well He is. But He is just too. We need to fear God, talk about His just judgments, not just His loving kindnesses. If we just talk about His love, then we won’t know what to tell people when they ask “Why would a good God allow bad things to happen to good people?”

It used to be hard for me to grasp that we had to fear, and love God. That seemed so strange to me. But, imagine Dwayne Johnson was your buddy. If some dude was being a jerk to you, you could be like “Hey Dwayne, can you take care of this bum?” So of course you love it that your big buddy protects you. But also you would never want to make him angry because of what he could do to you.

That is how I think it is with God. God is a King, a Judge, and a Redeemer.

Obey Him. Fear Him. Love Him.

English Country Dancing

So the past couple days my boss has been talking about ecd.

He brought up 1st Cor 7:1, now it’s interesting to see it from his point of view.

If I was to interpret what I believe that verse states I would say:

1: Notice the words “It is good for a man not to touch a woman.”, it doesn’t say “It is wrong for a man to touch a woman.”.

2: My opinion and belief is that the word “touch” refers to romantic gestures such as holding hands, hugging, or kissing. Thus I would say high fives, fist bumps, and the like, are not wrong. But punching is still wrong, sorry guys. ;)

3: I believe dancing is made to be (in most circumstances) romantic.

4: This does not mean doing ECDancing is wrong, but it is very close IMO. Why? Because it’s very hard to keep your heart, eyes, and thoughts/emotions pure.

5: Dancing with your Mom, sister, fiancee, or wife is not the same as some other female.

6:This is why people should do hip-hop dancing, it’s without a partner. ;)

7:If you must dance, do it to learn the dance. Keep sanctifying fam.

If you have any thoughts or disagreements feel free to share them, I would love to hear back. Copy?
