And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
Today at our two services I was moved in the Spirit and saw the glory of the Lord falling down down down. I nearly fell over and spoke in tongues non-stop even after prayer. Then I reminded myself I was no longer praying. So I stopped but my mind was still praying in tongues. The glory of the LORD is in this place. So enjoyed being in the Spirit of the Living God. It’s very tiring. Here. In this place.
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,
“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I’m getting old here so I take the same stance as those teachers before me. Just love Jesus. This is it and this is all. My kind of teacher. No one can know the heart of another. Only God can and really truly honestly, it’s good that all I have been looking for since a very tender age is God. My God. The Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit. The Godhead, Three in ONE.
Summer fun is upon us. Pool fun for the grandsons. Bowling. Fun and happiness and enjoyment. In Christ. Invest everything in our children.
For in the end, it is I that will stand before Jesus and give an account of my good deeds and bad ones.
The Glory of our Living God. Our Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit.
I waited and waiting and along life’s arduous journey I was given a chance. I’m one – of – kind. I’m a pioneer to go where other’s have not been so generations can follow. The LORD opens windows and paths to HIMSELF and HIM alone. It just takes one life in His plan.
My verse since childhood, prepare ye the way of the LORD, I just didn’t know how great our God is. I’m so touched. All my life. Though the journey if painful like those before me, it’s alright for we are crucified with Christ and it is HE who lives. In us. For Christ. Like the apostles who were there at His crucifixion.
Yesterday the pope went to Auschwitz. He knelt down. Being raised a Catholic, I fully understand this and tears streamed from my eyes and they could not stop flowing.Only God knows the heart of every man. In the end it’s conforming to Christ and not man. Only Jesus matters.
21 Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us, 22 placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come.
So I have decided to take some pictures again like I used to. It’s a past time. A hobby you could say.
So I’ve had a close look at this picture again and again and again. For me, you could say I live right in my own little ole world. With me and Christ. Him and Him alone. Few are allowed entry into this mind and heart of mine. What a glorious place to be in.
So as I gage into this pic that I asked my grandsons to help me take. I’m so grateful for their gracious help. I see the Holy Spirit who is our seal of salvation surrounding us totally and absolutely. No one has access but Christ and the Holy Spirit glorifies the Son and the Son glorifies the Father.
I woke up this morning in spontaneous worship of how much I love Jesus. Indeed I love Jesus first and foremost and then of course it’s my loving and devoted husband for without him I would never be able to spend all my days writing and talking and sharing Christ our LORD. You could say that his calling in all of this is his support for me. This is his love for Christ our LORD Jesus who is the Christ.
Ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God Col. 3:3
It is neither talent, nor power, nor gifts that do the work of God, but it is that which lies within the power of the humblest; it is the simple, earnest life hid with Christ in God.

Is it not so true this broken road where no one can experience what I experience therefore no one can understand why I do what I do for Christ. I share Him day and night and day and yet …. can anyone understand why …. I suppose not. May God be the glory of it all and when I see Him face to face I can only offer Him my heart. For in the end, it’s a matter of the heart. For out of the heart the mouth speaks. In the unstoppable love of Christ our LORD, the Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit. We are only human doing God’s work.
The only thing I can offer is hands of Christ in me. Like those before me. Their path was paved with lots of suffering for Christ and Him alone. Though I was young in my twenties could never understand but as I aged and grew, deep in my heart, I began to understand as the years gone by that those two teachers before me give all to Christ. Him and Him alone and this one student of the Word of God joins them along the broken road and it is our hope that many will walk along the same path of the Word like us. One after another so that in being used by Christ will lead many into the eternal kingdom. The very heart of the matter. It’s not about anything else. It’s just about people loving Jesus. The very matter of the heart.
In sequence of the walk.
We have a hope in those of our sons and daughters who will come to love Jesus just as much as we do as they mature in their walk. None sees their children mature fully here. Maybe some.
My hope is in Niran and Jacob. Students of the Word.
Sometimes, the LORD opens a window when He chooses one to see His plan in the colours of His love.
We are covered by the blood of the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. We enter into His glorious pure bright white light as the glory of the LORD is ever present with us. This is Christ Jesus our LORD. We grow from glory to glory as we walk along the sanctified road with Christ by fire by the power of the Holy Spirit.
As for me and my house we will ever serve the LORD God Almighty.
For this very reason I continue to walk upwards towards eternity that is eternally bound in my heart.
Catch me if you can.
Song Of Solomon 1:1-4
The Young Shulammite Bride and Jerusalem’s Daughters
This summer is turning out to be something amazing. Summer fun fun fun of bowling.
And the kiddos come to watch as we take over the entire bowling alley for our Sunday School this morning.
Basketball.
Badminton.
It’s about walking in the Light. A mistake turned truth. All twelve teenagers are walking in the Light.
Walking in the Light
5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
So, well, I could not sleep all night from thinking about Hosea and how it pertains to our world today. We sit together from somewhere far off. Up there. High high high. And talk and chat. I was brought to Daniel and was reminded that he was in this place as well. How well he knew our God. The Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit. Is the world any different from those times of Hosea. Or Daniel. Not really. Pretty much a parallel. Think we might not yet have gone to Revelation 18. Not yet. Are we not really nearly there.
So then I had this wonderful moment. I asked Jesus about what He sees when He sees us here on earth. He gave me a glimpse of His eyes. And I looked down down down and we are not even a minuscule. Not even a speck of dust. Nor even a single molecule. Nor a chromosome. Not even even. If you get my drift.
Studying the Word does not just mean you stick all those verses into your brain and blab it all out from memory and when asked, so what does it all mean. Then you just blab it all out and there be no life application in it at all.
You gotta move forward and upwards with all the information after reading commentary after commentary after commentary and then do word studies and topical studies and so on and so forth and then when the mind is so filled and confused beyond measure ….. Only the LORD can help us decypher what is happening. And then when you are humble enough to ask Jesus to reveal Himself in these things, you find that really, you are of no worth unless HE has chosen your from the foundations of the earth. Knowing of course that you would make the right choices in life and then then then … you can sit and bask in HIS glory and unending love and say say say.
O Lord Jesus You are good good good.
While we were yet sinners He called us first.
Don’t get me wrong here. I spend long hours nightly in study of the Word no matter which course I take. Whether it be Global University or Precept Upon Precept. I honestly do not think perfection is what Jesus is looking for. He is truly looking for our hearts in this matter, regarding His Word. Growth in Him, Christ and Christ alone.
Ever since a very tiny age I was so interested in the study of God’s Word. Always straining my ears, seeking after His voice.
Happiness father and son on the pier at sunny day under sunlight.
And in the end it’s all about being humble enough to say that it’s all about Jesus.
OK I shall not look down nor back but plunge higher and deeper into the heights of heaven with Christ our Lord and Saviour and know His heart. For what ever happens here and now is nothing compared to how great He is, for HE holds all time in His hands. I have not yet discovered the greatest of our God. For what is of today is only a speck of dust or not even that of who He really is. For I have come out of the box and found Christ. My Father. And the Holy Spirit. There is more. For our God, He is never-ending. HE is forever and ever. So, not to give up the good fight of faith and draw closer and closer to His throne of grace and just be. Like my Father who art Thou in heaven and His Son and the Holy Spirit. We are spirit-beings who can do great things. Great exploits. For those who know God.
This is my study of Hosea which I had spent endless nights of hours and hours and hours with the Word. It has been all worth it.
Free-fall.
Y’all see this, right.
Matthew 5:8 (KJV)
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
8. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God—Here, too, we are on Old Testament ground. There the difference between outward and inward purity, and the acceptableness of the latter only in the sight of God, are everywhere taught. Nor is the “vision of God” strange to the Old Testament; and though it was an understood thing that this was not possible in the present life (Ex 33:20; and compare Job 19:26, 27; Isa 6:5), yet spiritually it was known and felt to be the privilege of the saints even here (Ge 5:24; 6:9; 17:1; 48:15; Ps 27:4; 36:9; 63:2; Isa 38:3, 11, &c.). But oh, with what grand simplicity, brevity, and power is this great fundamental truth here expressed! And in what striking contrast would such teaching appear to that which was then current, in which exclusive attention was paid to ceremonial purification and external morality! This heart purity begins in a “heart sprinkled from an evil conscience,” or a “conscience purged from dead works” (Heb 10:22; 9:14; and see Ac 15:9); and this also is taught in the Old Testament (Ps 32:1, 2; compare Ro 4:5-8; Isa 6:5-8). The conscience thus purged—the heart thus sprinkled—there is light within wherewith to see God. “If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with the other”—He with us and we with Him—”and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us”—us who have this fellowship, and who, without such continual cleansing, would soon lose it again—”from all sin” (1Jo 1:6, 7). “Whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him” (1Jo 3:6); “He that doeth evil hath not seen God” (3Jo 11). The inward vision thus clarified, and the whole inner man in sympathy with God, each looks upon the other with complacency and joy, and we are “changed into the same image from glory to glory.” But the full and beatific vision of God is reserved for that time to which the Psalmist stretches his views—”As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness” (Ps 17:15). Then shall His servants serve Him: and they shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads (Re 22:3, 4). They shall see Him as He is (1Jo 3:2). But, says the apostle, expressing the converse of this beatitude—”Follow holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (Heb 12:14).
7 Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls;
All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me.
8 The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime;
And His song will be with me in the night,
A prayer to the God of my life.
Hosea 14 PUP
I complete my PUP study tonight. Unstoppable love that never ever ends. This is what I get from my Father’s love. Through His Son and by the power of the Holy Spirit by fire. What a study. Any study of Scripture is some study of who our God is. What is in His heart. Deep deep deep in the very heart of the Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit.
How fitting this is for a time as this. How wonderfully put at the very end of Hosea. Pertains to our world today.
9 Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;
whoever is discerning, let him know them;
for the ways of the LORD are right,
and the upright walk in them,
but transgressors stumble in them.

Some are just crazy for Jesus. It’s me. hahahahahahahahaha Those who know me well know me in this.
🙂
Others who do not know me at all will say, what’s all this about. With ?????????? s
Lord Jesus, thank You for sharing Your heart with me.
Right for some reason my Facebook has been blocking my family members. Only just found out after the family members are unable to see my posts since December of last year. Hopefully after a month of trying this will be resolved. Also, anything I post could only be seen by my good self and it was set at the ‘only me’ button. It has taken one long month and hopefully my family and friends will be able to see the posts I put on my wall. I did not block them nor set it at ‘only me’. Though I have tried to set it at the ‘my friends’ button it always sets back to the ‘only me’ button.
Not good right. Crazy. Someone is crazy crazy crazy but not me. hahahahahahahahaha 🙂
Think I’ve been hacked.
I love my own company as an introvert but I do feel a bit chuffed at being at the ‘only me’ setting when there’s a whole load of family and friends in my friends lists.
Who ever has hyjacked my Facebook needs not only a good telling off but a darn good spanking.
Bad children. Behave yourselves. Smack smack smack.
Imagine my horror that my own family names are in the blocked list.
Smack smack smack.
No wonder I get a few weird glances lately.
All is well.
Naughty naughty children. Grow up and behave yourselves.
Spanking spanking spanking.
Naughty children need a good hiding when they are obtuse and obstinate and difficult and weird.
Bad children bad bad children.
From this grandmama.
Family and friends are family and friends and the bond is close and dear to the heart.
Naughty naughty children. From now on grow up.
Aghast with horror.
In all of this praise the LORD and continue on on Hosea 13. Good study of the Word of God. We all need and love Jesus because He loved us first and gave His life for us so we can have life eternal.
12 And he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to consecrate him.
Psalm 133
English Standard Version When Brothers Dwell in Unity
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
1Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!a 2It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! 3It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the LORD has commanded the blessing, life forevermore.
1 Peter 2:9 (ESV)
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Psalm 133
Here the Psalmist David described the beauty of unity that exists among brethren.
A. The goodness of unity (133:1)
133:1. In this short pilgrim psalm David exclaimed how wonderful it is for believers to dwell together in unity. This thought was appropriate for the religious festivals when Israelite families came together to worship their Lord.
B. The description of unity (133:2–3)
133:2. David compared the unity mentioned in verse 1 to the oil that consecrated Aaron (cf. Lev. 8:12). This imagery from the priesthood was appropriate because of the pilgrims being in Jerusalem. The oil poured on Aaron’s head flowed down on his beard and shoulders, and onto the breastplate with the names of all 12 tribes. The oil thus symbolized the unity of the nation in worship under their consecrated priest. As the oil consecrated Aaron, so the unity of the worshipers in Jerusalem would consecrate the nation under God. 133:3. David then compared the unity mentioned in verse 1 to the dew that covers the mountains. The picture of oil running down (v. 2) no doubt suggested dew coming down from Mount Hermon in the north onto Mount Zion. The dew of Hermon was heavy; it symbolized what was freshening and invigorating. The refreshing influence of the worshiping community on the nation was similar to the dew on vegetation. This was a fitting symbol of the Lord’s blessing on His people.

Word Study On ‘Command’
ṣā·wā(h)): v.; ≡ Str 6680; TWOT 1887—1. LN 33.323–33.332 (piel) command, order, tell, instruct, give direction, decree, i.e., state with force/authority what others must do (Ge 2:16); (pual) commanded, directed, be ordered (Ge 45:19; Ex 34:34; Lev 8:35; 10:13; Nu 3:16; 36:2; Eze 12:7; 24:18; 37:7+); 2. LN 37.96–37.107 (piel) appoint, ordain, give charge, i.e., assign one to a role or function for a task or office, with a focus on the authority of the one who appointed the leader (1Sa 25:30); 3. LN 13.104–13.163 (piel) be forbidden, i.e., pertaining to what does not happen, as it is not allowed by an authority (Dt 4:23), note: for another parsing in Isa 28:10, 13, see 7417; note: further study may yield more domains

33.323 κελεύω; διαστέλλομαι: to state with force and/or authority what others must do—‘to order, to command.’ κελεύω: ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος πραθῆναι ‘his master ordered him to be sold as a slave’ Mt 18:25. διαστέλλομαι: διεστείλατο αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδενὶ λέγωσιν ‘he ordered them not to speak of it to anyone’ Mk 7:36. In a number of languages the equivalent of ‘to order’ or ‘to command’ is ‘to speak with strength’ or ‘to speak strong words’ or, in the form of direct discourse, ‘to tell others, You must …’

37.96 τάσσωa; ὁρίζωb; ἀναδείκνυμιb; τίθημιb: to assign someone to a particular task, function, or role—‘to appoint, to designate, to assign, to give a task to.’ τάσσωa: ἐπίστευσαν ὅσοι ἦσαν τεταγμένοι εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον ‘those who had been designated for eternal life became believers’ Ac 13:48. Though τάσσω in Ac 13:48 has sometimes been interpreted as meaning ‘to choose,’ there seems to be far more involved than merely a matter of selection, since a relationship is specifically assigned. ὁρίζωb: ὁ ὡρισμένος ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ κριτής ‘the one designated by God as judge’ Ac 10:42. ἀναδείκνυμιb: ἀνέδειξεν ὁ κύριος ἑτέρους ἑβδομήκοντα δύο ‘the Lord appointed another seventy-two men’ Lk 10:1. τίθημιb: ἔθηκα ὑμᾶς ἵνα ὑμεῖς ὑπάγητε καὶ καρπὸν φέρητε ‘I appointed you to go and bear much fruit’ Jn 15:16.

Word Study On ‘Dew’
ṭǎl): n.masc.; ≡ Str 2919; TWOT 807a—LN 2.7–2.13 dew, night-mist, i.e., moisture condensed on surfaces, esp. at night, with the associative meanings of prosperity and abundance (1Ki 17:1), see also domain LN 14.17–14.35
Swanson, J. (1997). Dictionary of Biblical Languages with Semantic Domains : Hebrew (Old Testament) (electronic ed.). Oak Harbor: Logos Research Systems, Inc
807a טַל (ṭal) dew.
Ugaritic ṭl “dew” and verb ṭll “to fall” (of dew); UT 19: no. 1037. This masculine noun is from the assumed root ṭālal. The great difference between temperatures of night and day in Palestine causes heavy dews, which keep vegetation alive during the summer drought. The amount varies in different regions, but in Gaza there is dew 250 nights of the year. The Bible often notices this feature. One spending the night out of doors was “wet with dew” (Song 5:2). Considered a gift from the sky (Deut 33:28; Prov 3:20), dew was withheld by God for disobedience (Hag 1:10); was withheld along with rain by Elijah’s prayer (I Kgs 17:1); but was given in times of God’s favor (Zech 8:12). Hence dew was considered a blessing (Gen 27:28) and the lack of it was a privation (Gen 27:39) or a curse (II Sam 1:21). Job is unable to answer who has begotten it (Job 38:28). Morning dew in the wilderness was accompanied by manna which remained when the dew had evaporated (Ex 16:13–14; Num 11:9). The sign to Gideon, dew being on the fleece but not on the surrounding ground, was then reversed, the ground being wet and the fleece dry (Jud 6:37–40), which would be just as unusual. Figuratively, God’s and the king’s favor (Prov 19:12), man’s speech (Deut 32:2), and the blessings of unity of brethren (Ps 133:3) are compared to the fall of dew. God’s quiet watching is as a cloud of dew (Isa 18:4). Job’s former prosperity is compared to dew on branches (Job 29:19). An unexpected attack (II Sam 17:12), Jacob’s influence among the nations (Mic 5:7 [H 6]), and the vigor of youth (Ps 110:3) are all also compared to dew. Israel in their unfaithfulness were like the dew that goes away early (Hos 6:4; 13:3).

Word Study On ‘Oil’
14.17 ῥέω; ῥύσις, εως f: the movement of a liquid in some direction—‘to flow, a flow.’6 ῥέω: καθὼς εἶπεν ἡ γραφή, ποταμοὶ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας αὐτοῦ ῥεύσουσιν ὕδατος ζῶντος ‘as the scripture says, Streams of living water will flow from his heart’ Jn 7:38. In the NT ῥέω occurs only in the figurative context of Jn 7:38. ῥύσις: γυνὴ οὖσα ἐν ῥύσει αἵματος δώδεκα ἔτη ‘the woman had had a hemorrhage for twelve years’ Mk 5:25. In a number of languages a term referring to the flow of liquid may also be applied to the movement of any object, so that a literal rendering might be ‘the liquid moved.’ However, terms for ‘flow’ or ‘pour’ often differ substantially on the basis of the direction of the flow. For example, if the flow is relatively horizontal, and therefore slow, it may have one term, while if it is quite fast, another expression may be used, and if the flow is almost perpendicular (as in the case of pouring), a still different term is employed.

6.205 μύρον, ου n: a strongly aromatic and expensive ointment—‘perfume, perfumed oil.’ βαλοῦσα γὰρ αὕτη τὸ μύρον τοῦτο ἐπὶ τοῦ σώματός μου πρὸς τὸ ἐνταφιάσαι με ἐποίησεν ‘she has prepared me for burial by pouring this perfume on my body’ Mt 26:12; ἡτοίμασαν ἀρώματα καὶ μύρα ‘they prepared aromatic oils and perfumes’ Lk 23:56. μύρον as a ‘perfume’ may be rendered as ‘sweet- smelling oil’ or ‘fragrant oil.’ In Lk 23:56 one may use a descriptive phrase such as ‘perfumed oil for preserving the body’ or ‘… to keep the body from rotting.’

Search Me, O God, and Know My Heart To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
139 O Lord, you have searched me and known me! 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. 3 You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. 4 Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. 5 You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it. 7 Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? 8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! 9 If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,” 12 even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. 13 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a] Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. 17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. 19 Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me! 20 They speak against you with malicious intent; your enemies take your name in vain.[b] 21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? 22 I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts![c] 24 And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting![d] Footnotes:
It’s really easy to stray from truth and open a door.
It takes time to study. It takes decades. Half a century. It takes an entire life. A life time. It takes till we see Jesus Face to face. Do I get an amen for this!!!
8 How can I give you up, O Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, O Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
How can I treat you like Zeboiim?
My heart recoils within me;
my compassion grows warm and tender.
9 I will not execute my burning anger;
I will not again destroy Ephraim;
for I am God and not a man,
the Holy One in your midst,
and I will not come in wrath.
10 They shall go after the LORD;
the will roar like a lion;
when he roars,
his children shall come trembling from the west;
11 they shall come trembling like birds from Egypt,
and like doves from the land of Assyria,
and I will return them to their homes, declares the LORD.

Yahweh’s faithfulness to His chosen people.Had to think which book I am studying. Sometimes I just get lost in the moment with the LORD. In the LORD. Hidden in HIS Word. Hidden in my Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit.
