Psalm 19:1-14 KJV [1]
The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament sheweth his handywork. [2] Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night sheweth knowledge. [3] There is no speech nor language, Where their voice is not heard. [4] Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, [5] Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. [6] His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. [7] The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. [8] The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. [9] The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. [10] More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. [11] Moreover by them is thy servant warned: And in keeping of them there is great reward. [12] Who can understand his errors? Cleanse thou me from secret faults. [13] Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me: Then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. [14] Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.19.1-14.KJV
God has never changed and will not change. He has loved you since before the world was created. Earth did not come together as a bunch of rocks in space, God created it. He created the sun and the moon and the stars, but He loved you before He did any of this! He sent Jesus to Earth, initially to Israel but they didn’t accept Him, in order to atone for everyone’s sins. Life came to show us how to live it but many wouldn’t follow His lead.
Has the “church” done many things wrong in the past? Yes! They were following the “wisdom” of a man or men, they were not following the teachings of Jesus. When you mix mud with water, it may look like chocolate milk but it does NOT taste like it. Mixing man’s wisdom or ideas with a little of the Word of God does not make it better. Using God’s Word to justify man’s actions doesn’t fix mankind’s problems. The only way to help mankind is to follow what God says in His Word without diluting it with our so-called “wisdom”.
What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?
When I talk to someone and it seems that everything revolves around them! As if God was supposed to make their life perfect and smooth sailing every day. Unfortunately I have a sister in law that fits this to a tee.

It is something that our parents told us growing up, sometimes we listened and sometimes we didn’t. Most of the time we learned the hard way which one was the right one. I personally learned the hard way and I paid for it. I pray that if you are reading this post you will take a look around at some of the other posts and give your heart to Jesus while there is time.
How do you relax?
Nothing fancy but it works 😉
