Dear Sisters and Brothers in Jesus the Christ,

 “Earth-leaders push for position, Demagogues and delegates meet for summit talks, The God-deniers, the Messiah-defiers: ‘Let’s get free of God! Cast loose from Messiah!” Psalm 2:2-3 (MSG)

• Here’s the thing, the One who is Omnipotent and Omniscient and Omnipresent is The Creator. There is no getting away from YHWY (with vowels inserted YAHWEH, transliterated Jehovah, commonly interpreted the LORD); He is the One who established the foundation upon which we build. Of course, the free-will with which we were created allows the decision as to whether we build on sand or upon the rock. 

• As succinctly stated by Eugene H. Peterson: “The foundation is given. The foundation is firmly in place. . . . . No matter what we do, whether good or bad, we continue to be part of everything that God is doing. Nobody can drop out—there’s no place to drop out to.” 

• The earth was formless and empty until God spoke its re-development, and man’s body was lifeless until God breathed the breath of life into his nostrils (Genesis 1-2:7). We are inextricably connected to the Sovereign Lord God Almighty. Our wisdom is of God; every time man decides contrary to the way of God it has never turned out for our good (and it never will). 

• Reading the Word of God assists in regard to developing relationship with GOD. For the more we get to know the character or essence of GOD who is LOVE, is the more we become acquainted with His promises. The more acquainted is the more confident that it’s true unto you accordingly by the redemptive work of Christ Jesus. Therefore, if you’re firm footed on Philippians 4:19,
  • there is scant power in regard to the amount of a “stimulus check”.
  • there is no jealousy in regard to what others have because God’s “Pie” is never depleted. 

• I use various versions of the Holy Bible when writing as prompted by the Holy Spirit but I utilize one specific version in my yearly read of the Bible:
  • 2021 – The Message Bible (MSG)
  • 2020 – King James Easy Read Bible (KJVER)
  • 2019 – New Living Translation (NLT)
  • 2018 – New International Version (NIV)
  • 2017 – New King James Version (NKJV)
  • 2016 – King James Version (KJV)
  • 2009-2015 – Life Application Study Bible (NIV)
  • 2007-2008 – NIV (a light green leather covered Bible which I eventually gave away).

 May sudden manifestations of The Blessing of the LORD (Proverbs 10:22) BE to the honor and praise and glory of God the Father, with thanksgiving in Jesus’ name, Amen.

 Speak the promise . . . Harriet
