Take A Firm Stand

If they tell you that in some other place,
one can find solace
And true salvation, other than in one God,
They mean to destroy your soul;
Take a firm stand.

Marguerite De Navarre (1492-1549)

“Reformation Women” by Rebecca VanDoodewaard p.33

I lift up my eyes to you, to you whose throne is in heaven.
As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he shows us his mercy.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, for we have endured
much contempt.
We have endured much ridicule from the proud, much contempt
from the arrogant.

Psalm 123

Seek My Face

if my people, who are called by my name,
will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked
ways,

then will I hear from heaven and
will forgive their sin and will heal
their land.

Slavery/Worship

The State takes the place of God…
the socialist dictatorships are religions,
and State slavery is a form of worship.

No One Like You

June 15, 2023 testadmin

Then Asa called to the Lord his God
and said, “Lord, there is no one like
you to help the powerless against the
mighty.

Help us, O Lord our God,
for we rely on you, and in your name
we have come against this vast army.
O Lord, you are our God; do not let
man prevail against you.”

2 Chronicles 14:11

Your Path

May 31, 2023 testadmin

Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.

Psalm 77:19

And the sea appears to be the most trackless of worlds! The sea is the very symbol of mystery, the grim dwelling-house of the innumerable things that have been lost. But God’s way moves here and there across this trackless wild. God is never lost among our mysteries. He knows His way about. When we are bewildered He sees the road, and He sees the end even from the beginning. Even the sea, in every part of it, is the Lord’s highway. When His way is in the sea we cannot trace it. Mystery is part of our appointed discipline.

J.H. Jowett (from Daily Meditation. 1914)

Government

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.

It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

John Adams (1735-1826)

The Enchanter

May 8, 2023 testadmin

Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge uprightly among men?
No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence
on the earth. Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they
are wayward and speak lies.

Their venom is like the venom of a snake,
like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears, that will not heed
the tune of the charmer, however skillful the enchanter may be.
