Alpha and Omega, Christ is the beginning and
the ending;
Psalm 119 begins it’s 8 verse stanza,
each line
or phrase begins with that letter.
Hebrew to
English, that’s not recognizable, but a
pattern is
established! Let’s see how I do.
Alone, I find myself as David and others must have,
in the
solitude of study, searching scriptures both
ancient and
modern, gleaning gems of wisdom to share.
Although the circle of my influence is very small,
Noah must
have thought that same lonely idea,
but had
faith in the Lord’s promise of a flourishing
future. I
feel hope.
Ark or arc of influence, nevertheless, it’s God’s
commandment
obeyed that brings perspective.
I explore
here my own human experience with
God, He who
loves me, guides me and inspires
me with His
eye single to my eternal life and joy.
Advancing one step at a time, He leads, I follow.
Little by
little I learn of the doctrine of Christ.
It’s easy! Faith,
repentance, baptism by immersion,
receiving the
gift of the Holy Ghost from authorized
hands, and
enduring to the end.
Actions required to progress or endure are easy, too:
obey His
commandments, pray always, give service,
testify often,
again and again.
Actionable faith is what this is called. The five
wise
virgins, had
sufficient oil. Today we live in tumultuous
even terrible
times, let us pour oil on troubled waters.
May we hold
up our lights to shine forth, leading
others as
examples of kindness and Christ-like
lives of
charity.
Angelic protection is promised and I’ve called upon
this blessing
often when I’ve walked in uncertain
steps, pain
and sorrow. Quiet moments of assurance
and healing,
able me to feel His peace, the peace
that surpasses
all our understanding.
