Day two of 100th journal

Got an earlier start... yet day is in full spring bloom. Jasmine's aroma qualifies the seasons accent... of May but a few days away. Song birds continue their tunes, nesting additions greet their feet.

Alas, a writer or poet, AM NOT; nor a saint or an apostle or theologian. Simply know their is NO GREATER PLACE to be in all God's glorious creation, than His God Breathed Word scribed for us each. It is the Living Word of God.

Hebrews 4:12 For The Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any doubled-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.


Yes, the totality and depth of ones being.

Bible is bookmarked at Luke 18:38-19:44. 19:26 Jesus- "He replied, 'I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.'"

noting: that those who seek spiritual gain in the gospel, for themselves and others, will become richer, and those who neglect or squander what is given them will become impoverished, losing even what they have.

YES, sharper than any double edge sword! Also a blessed reminder of God' promise that if you seek, you will find.

God does NOT mention the mere material here- He speaks to the heart, the VERY Life's core. Impoverished in ones inner being is NO place one wants to be. THIS parable of the Ten Minas illustrates just how GOD gives to ALL. We can use His gift and talents or bury them. It is painfully obvious which way is beneficial. A key in ALL of these teachings is of how God's gifts are not only multiplied, BUT are made to be used and sharable.

Taking all that He gives and only using it for self gain is both no benefit for others, and definitely not God's plan. There is no place for selfishness or shortsightedness. Storing everything up so it won't be lost serves no useful purpose either.

Your soul may have been saved, BUT the spirit is dormant; as good as dead - if not given purpose to live.

YES, impoverished is no place to be, sadly many stay impoverished, though abundance is given. Everything we NEED God HAS abundantly supplied. How we use and apply all given determines the nature of our living. Our soul saved that our spirit may be free to live in ALL His Abundance and blessings is God's plan. May we NEVER label our blessings as curses because of fear or worry- may we step out in faith and put to use all given. Before we even know it, the fruits of the labors shall multiply. AND YES, a worthy prayer is that they may, multiply tenfold - (here is the key) FOR GOD'S GLORY.

Multiplying the gift of Christ's love given for us glorifies God. That is abundant living... as it keeps God's Word the LIVING WORD of GOD... not stored up or squandered or buried.

Day two of this 100th journal of seeking God's Truth has brought revelation...

perhaps so much so that it needs to journey beyond this quiet-time chair. prayer....that it is put into practice indeed.... GODSPEED
