I say Amen to this revelation. Oh Jesus you are the ne can make every thing on us. Oh God please grant me your wisdom and understanding. Chip, grace be with you.

Lots of food for thought here. Am in the middle of some breaking – painful but worth it! “Lord help me EMBRACE the decrease & ACCEPT Your will for me. Thank You THAT Your grace is sufficient for me. Please continue to open my eyes & my heart as I determine to press on. Please help me to keep my eyes on Jesus & to remember that You are w/me WHEREVER I go. Help me to trust You Lord. I NEED YOU!!!!!! Amen.

Thanks for sharing that, Ken. I haven’t considered that use of the word eros but it is something to consider.

I will delight myself in your statutes; I will not forget your word” (Psa. 119:15-16).
The Psalmist was delighted to meditate on the word of God. He did not want to forget God’s precious instructions and promises. Our Father wants us to fill our eyes and our ears continually with his word so that we will live the way he wants us to live “in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation. Our lives should be constant examples of obedience to the instructions we have been given in the word of God. This is to say: In thy will, I will delight, I never will forget thy word.
I know and rest in confidence upon it that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will secure justice for the poor and needy of His believing children (Psa. 140:12)., my beloved focus on the Lord not the circumstances around you. Our God is secured justice and favor for us in Yeshua’s Name.

That is the way with our Master, and that is the way for those who follow him too.

Thank you Chip. I woke up at 4 am today following a tiring Sunday and what a way to begin my Sabbath Day, to turn to a broken Lord, whose sacrifice has made me whole. So I keep coming to him, to partake of him, so that in my brokenness and weakness I may be filled with his grace and joy.

Sweet Sharon, gladly! Lord, you hear the cry from her heart and know her need. Jesus YOU are the One who said, “Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed!” May Sharon behold, and see you on the Cross – the words from Your lips, “It is finished!” resonate in her heart and mind, and behold the rent veil that has given her that access into Your very presence Father! It IS done! May she sit at Your feet, KNOWING beyond a doubt that You HAVE set her free – indeed! In Jesus’ blessed name, Amen.
