“A FEW THOUGHTS!”

A few thoughts from my quiet time recently:

***We don’t have, and possibly are incapable of having, a vivid picture of how HOLY GOD really is.       

Researching thus thought further, I came across this snippet from a devotional:  Trust starts with a definitive, intentional decision to “step over the line” by turning from doing things our way, trusting in ourselves and our own understanding, to transfer our dependence to God. Here’s a word of wisdom concerning not relying on ourselves and our own understanding [read: manipulating]: “Trust is living without scheming.”

***Nor do we have a true sense of how wretched we are OUTSIDE OF CHRIST.

In Romans 7 the Apostle Paul writes that he, in my estimation one of the greatest Believers of CHRIST ever,  “thanks be to GOD through JESUS CHRIST our LORD!” is our only hope!  

***HIS MERCY and PATIENCE, LONG-SUFFERING, and simply overall LOVE are indescribable.

Words cannot adequately enunciate HIS goodness to mankind.  Many of us have tried, but HIS LOVE is beyond mans intellect.  

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the White House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement:

"This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House, with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe ."      -- Thomas Jefferson

Psalms 46:10 (ESV) “"BE STILL, and know that I am GOD. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!"  

THAT IS ALL FOR TODAY!!!
