Hiatus

I will be gone for about 8 days.  I won’t be able to access WordPress.  Not that this should bother my brothers, for you have your own productivity in the Lord to keep you busy.

But I post this as a request for mercy.  For when I return, there is likely to be a flurry of posting.  I ask you who have subscribed to this blog to understand that I’m not trying to flood your inbox when this happens.

I will have produced a number of posts in the interim.

This blog is a testimony of the Love of God which I am learning.  It is not a source intended to direct, teach, or lead others (though it sometimes goes that direction).  Yet I don’t want to disturb any of you when I return.

May God bless your walk, according to the riches of Christ within us all.  May the coming week provide a wonderous revealing of His Majesty to all my brothers and sisters.

We will all gather together in the coming age with glorious joy.  It is good that we strive to develop this joy while we are here.  Though it pales horribly to that which is promised, as we grow in application of the things of God, we grow ever closer together.  May this be the nature of our reunion in a week.

Time and Eternity

Among the things of man there are places that we “wait” to encounter.  We wait for Sunday, that we might attend worship with our brothers.  The time in the middle of the week to gather together and study the Holy Word.  Perhaps there is also a time in our lives when we gather together to pray as one.  And there is a “waiting” for these moments to appear.

But there need be no waiting to become one with God in Christ Jesus.  The body needs to wait for the next appearance of event.  But the soul has no sense of time.  For the soul is of the same essence as the Spirit of God.  It is timeless.

Those who live according to the needs of the body separate one moment from another.  Those who live according to the nature of the soul, find recognition of time a burden.  They do not take note of passing moments that have come and gone without productivity.  But they live in eternity.

Prayer and worship are not a place on this earth.  they are a matter of posture.  It is the result of a life led in the Spirit of God.
