r hope as children of god is an eternal hope peter tells us that the child of god has an inheritance that can never perish spoil or fade kept in heaven for you 1 peter 1 4 rate this share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook more email a link to a friend opens in new window email like loading image by gloryteller fear not elder friends he knows best 06 aug 2025 4 comments to this old codger i use the term affectionately for myself came an unexpected thought our all knowing creator god knows exactly when to call us home each of us elderly down to the second divided by infinity so why do we fight the moment so hard why do we worry what are we so afraid of in the scriptures god tells us not to be fearful be anxious or be worried he repeats it many many times he tells us those emotions aren t good for us they cause all sorts of mental physical and emotional disorders in entertaining them we are conforming to the world what can we do to counteract our natural tendencies toward these self destructive emotions trust god jesus tells us to take heart have courage persevere take hope be comforted because he has overcome the world he gave us his peace we should receive it

bible the holy scriptures the word of god the good book the book of books it is known by various names between the covers you ll find testiments two main ones with lots of smaller ones inside you ll find good news the gospels and lots of lesser good news you ll find sacred stories that will bring you into close contact with hope comfort healing faith and much more but most of all love within the stories you may find yourself but you will certainly find god himself in all his unfathomable glorious complexity and also in his basic unchanging perfect humanity my highest lord i thank you for sending me your personal love letter you begin by telling me how you love me because you created me and how you created me because you love me and have a plan and purpose for me you say how you spoke me into existence like the very stars ancient of days you gave me a name a time and a place to be you tell me that you were and are always with me preserving me even when i was not qualified to be in your presence yet you pointed to the hope that was coming the day you would rescue me i see myself in the flawed characters the heroes and the villains the prophets and angels speak your words directly to me in many ways adam is me israel is me david too you insert my name upon the wayward son his father and his older brother as well you walk me without fear through the valley of the shadow of death you remind me of your provision and protection looking back i see the times when i would have been lost without your hand unnoticed upon my back you speak miracles into existence and let me see them and let me know you through them you make me lie down among words like grace mercy forgiveness hope faith longsuffering salvation justification sanctification holiness righteousness and the most profound love you bid me study them understand them devour them you make promises to me unlike the world s pledges i know that yours will be kept that faith in you comes as a gift from the spirit of your word s words it s all there among your precepts doctrines statutes decrees and principles you wrote them down for me they are like my food my water my sustenance yet you promise even better to come and it comes as promised the good news of the arrival of my personal saviour my rescuer my redeemer you in my fleshly likeness oh god and i in yours the realm of the miraculous prevails and your kingdom is revealed you reveal yourself to me through jesus your christ hallelujah the word became flesh and made his dwelling among us we have seen his glory the glory of the one and only son who came from the father full of grace and truth truth there is only one truth you made me a scientist who seeks the truth i ve found things that are true but the most important truth i ve found is that you are true you are truth and all truth stems from your truths they are the only truths you wrote me poetry telling my poetic heart more of who you are and to whom i belong in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god 2 he was with god in the beginning 3 through him all things were made without him nothing was made that has been made 4 in him was life and that life was the light of all mankind 5 the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it all that oh lord embodied in an innocent vulnerable miraculous child emmanuel god with me you went on gracious god to describe the day of my rescue in gruelling difficult detail my heart kneels in sorrow i will never be the same yet once again you do what would seem impossible you conquer

leave a comment words are my toys words are my tools useful for wisemen misused by fools i ve said it before i ll say it again whether by tongue or whether by pen words can disable the strongest of men yet also they heal bring kindness and peace oh lord let me love all with words straight from thee i m always amazed at god s perfect use of words and how their meanings can be changed through human attempts at translation interpretation and paraphrasing one verse that comes to mind is isaiah 9 6 in the king james version 6 for unto us a child is born unto us a son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulder and his name shall be called wonderful counsellor the mighty god the everlasting father the prince of peace jesus the messiah in this verse is prophesied to be called five different names the first name is wonderful where wonderful appears as an abstract noun in more recent translations such as the new international version it looks this way 6 for to us a child is born to us a son is given and the government will be on his shoulders and he will be called wonderful counselor mighty god everlasting father prince of peace in the latter translation wonderful is an adjective modifying counselor attributing jesus with only four names because of the placement of one small comma the meaning of the verse is quite different i happen to like the king james version the most to me jesus is wonderful in name and in truth he is the embodiment of wonder and in him i am completely filled with wonder what do you think dear reader rate this share this

comment there is a pond on my property it is more secluded than my other pond which is close to a paved road i placed a four foot long two foot wide boulder near the edge of the pond it is good for pondering being shaped in the rough form of a car i named it car rock that s uninspired but the important thing is that it s good for sitting upon to ponder by the pond why not give it a more personal name pondering rock perhaps unless the neighbor s dogs are barking the only sounds here are bird songs and breezes sighing through the treetops i imagine that i m hearing the breath of god and in a sense i am he s easy to talk with there on car rock and there s a lot to converse about but my wondering and pondering invariably lead to questions i have a million of them no more than that they are uncountable except by the father himself my most common questions are spiritual in nature but some are scientific such as is gravity quantum in its behavior in its design he has not answered that one yet but i lean toward yes it s purposely elusive he answers most of my questions using bible passages and their corresponding commentaries are usually enlightening then i say i m ordinary lord who am i that you care so much about my well being that you would let me read your word as my own personal love letter that you would adopt me as your child and blood relative that you would allow me to speak with you ask questions and have a personal relationship with you who am i who it s then that i realize i said relative i am who i am only relative to him only he knows the answer fully and completely apart from away from father and jesus i am essentially nothing and no one yet he explains that when i received jesus as my savior i became someone that and much more more than can be explained except through his word so i sit here in wonder and hope my wonder will never fade i hope my deep respect and awe of him which is often called fear will never fade i ponder further as i look around and it occurs to me that the subject of my awe has lived on this planet and walked on this ground perhaps not this ground but ground much like this i see the trees around the edge of the pond he has touched trees similar to these and sat in their shade for relief from the sun he has stood under the stars and perhaps bathed in their light and the light of the moon as he looked it in the face he stood on the surface of water much like this water and then walked upon it he may have sat under his expansive blue sky on a rock reminiscent of the one i m pondering upon at this moment it hits me that he created all those things i see before me not to mention myself and i am even more in thankful awe that he made himself nothing and came to visit i imagine him having done those things elsewhere that he is doing them right here it is then that i experience his presence with me in body and in spirit in a reality difficult to comprehend except by merely being still and knowing it god with us and with me he came into his creation once long ago in humility as a servant when he went back to the father he left part of himself with us along with the promise to return not lowly but in his full power and glory i secretly hope that happens someday while i m standing here on pondering rock reaching toward the sky and smiling rate this share this share on facebook opens in new window

christmastime when i was a boy my dad understood the relative poverty of his children so he would give us each a small amount of money to be spent on gifts for the other family members that was after mom had bought all the presents for each of us spending most likely too much money already what was a small amount to him was a small fortune to us as we received no allowances so we each felt rich as we happily shopped with mom and picked out trinkets and treasures for our siblings and parents wrapping the gifts was fun but the best part was the excited anticipation we had for christmas morning when the family would partake in what we children had built in our minds to be the olympics of giving and receiving it was as good as it gets and after all the unwrapping and showing and laughing and modeling and playing and cheering and thanking we all felt richer and more blessed than we were before but it was dad and mom i think who felt the most blessed for having given to us so that we could bless each other with gifts the investment of money they gave us came back to them multiplied in seeing generosity unselfishness and brotherly love instilled into us and put into action and so it is with god he began giving early in fact long before mankind was even here to receive it he gave us light he gave us water and land a nice place to live in the water and on the land he provided good things for us to eat a perfect garden containing everything we would need and if that were not enough he gave us his love he gave us his spirit presence all he asked was that we love him from our hearts and display a small and reasonable amount of obedience even that being a gift for our own good but mankind had a hard time with that so later he gave us a baby his physical presence our savior and redeemer jesus in that tiny presence was contained an unfathomable amount of love and light we celebrate his birth extravagantly on a day we name christmas because he is our everything he provides all we need he left his abundance and took on our poverty in order to bless us with abundant life he gives lavishly out of his abundance into our poverty that we may graciously bless others whether the gift of writing of singing of making music of delivering a message of healing of encouraging of hospitality of giving time or treasures of working or helping of giving testimony of sowing evangelistic seeds of doing a kindness of giving a hug or a simple smile you do have one gift or more that you can share with other...
