Knowledge that preserves…
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope. Romans
Comments, thoughts and reflections welcome.
Psalm 16
Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
O my soul, you have said to the LORD,
“You are my Lord,
My goodness is nothing apart from You.”
As for the saints who are on the earth,
“They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.”
Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;
Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer,
Nor take up their names on my lips.
O LORD, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You maintain my lot.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.
I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel;
My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
I have set the LORD always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will rest in hope.
For You will not leave my soul in Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Long before Christ came, David talks of his rising from the grave. David has been given the promise of salvation to come. Who is our guiding force; who give us purpose and meaning in life? In an age of blind faith in things scientific, mankind looks continually for proofs. David testifies to knowledge that does not beg for proof but rests in the sure, heartfelt knowing of God. The Lord counsels, the heart instructs and what he was given to know came to pass though he did not live to see it. He saw with the eyes of the heart and soul.
“…You will show me the path of life;…”
We have the same knowledge available today through the faithfulness of the Lord Jesus and his disciples. Let us continue to pass on this knowledge of life which needs no proof for it dwells within us, our spirit bearing witness with His, a connecting with the Lord God that cannot be explained; just is.

This blog is a mosaic of writings from the scripture, ramblings from the mind, paintings done in play as an expression of the creative spirit within each of us. The writings from the scripture reflect my daily readings along with my thoughts, reflections and messages I receive from the Holy Spirit. They are meant to be shared and they are not meant to be imposed upon anyone other than myself. It is my hope that they can be used by the Holy Spirit to speak to another. I believe the sharing of the Word of the Lord is useful for instruction, edification and enlightenment. The ramblings are just that, the mind exploring, expressing and exposing the mindscapes it wanders to and from. The artwork that is mine is an adventure in creative expression. You the reader and visitor are welcome, your comments are welcomed and my the Lord God’s face shine upon you.
This wife, mother, grandmother is the oldest of six children, was raised in a preacher’s family with all that entails, retired from a career in public education only to continue in private Christian education and homeschooling.(my ministry, calling), now waiting for a new assignment from the Lord. L. L. L. as(lived for my Lord,living for my Lord, and loving it) My goal is to please God and not man. I am not responsible for how others’ see my actions and others’ do not determine what I do, how I do it and when I do it. God does. They hated Jesus, he said be sure if you belong to me they will hate you, too. I will stand for His word, I will love him and my neighbor, and I will defend the right to do so.
