Knowledge of Truth

"The prevailing spirit of our time is one of infidelity and apostasy -a spirit of avowed illumination because of a knowledge of truth, but in reality of the blindest presumption.  Human theories are exalted and placed where God and his law should be."

.......

"So far have they [Men] departed from the right way that they hold the opinions of a few philosophers, so-called, to be more trustworthy than the truths of the Bible."


(Ellen White, Prophets and Kings p. 178)

Good Gifts

"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

Luke 11:13

He Listens

Our Savior

"He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

A bruised reed shall He not break, and the smoking flax shall He not quench: He shall bring forth judgment unto truth." 

Isaiah 42:2,3

The Sun of Righteousness did not burst upon the world in splendor, to dazzle the senses with His glory.  It is written of Christ, "His going forth is prepared as the morning." Hosea 6:3. Quietly and gently the daylight breaks upon the earth, dispelling the darkness and waking the world to life.  So did the Sun of Righteousness arise, "with healing in His wings." Malachi 4:2

(Ellen White: The Ministry of Healing p.33)

As in a Dry and Weary Land

Oh I guess it's time for the mandatory birthday post. :P I shall share one of my favorite psalms.  I hope this psalm can be as refreshing to you too.


Psalms 63

"Oh God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thists for you; my flesh yearns for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.

Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.

So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.

My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lis, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night;

For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.

But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earh; they shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals.

But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped."

Thank you LORD for guiding me through another year of life. Please grant me more wisdom and humility as I grow older.

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."

James 1:5
