of Proverbs

One should understand the instructions before he approaches the problem so that he can arrive at the correct solution.


When we speak, we create possibility. When He speaks with us, it is done.

Of Proverbs...

It is a great folly to try to find comfort in things that only produce discomfort. 
The fool searches for rest in things that create more unrest.

Of Proverbs...

The end prize of the goal achieved was the process itself and the hope believed.

Of Proverbs...

Safety is often taken for granted, until one loses their sense of it.

Of Proverbs...

It only takes sleep to dream, but only through work will one be satisfied.

Of Proverbs...

If one is not progressing in the will of God, he is regressing back to the cruelty of the old nature.

OF PSALMS...

Bitterness, Oh Lord, has taken root against me.
It has sprung up and choked the very life from me.
When will you, the Gardener of my heart, pluck it from my presence?
It steals away the joy of my salvation, and I am left melancholy.
How am I to bear fruit, Oh great Tender of my soil?
If it robs me of my nourishment and I am left destitute,
I will surely perish to a withered shell.
Yet, I trust in you because you are ever faithful and patient.
I know you are full aware of what has set itself in opposition to me.
It is also within my grasp to know that you desire a good yield.
If it seems good to you to be tried by that which is set against me,
I also know that my roots will grow deeper as a means of survival.
In due season, so as to reap what I am able to present before you,
While also destroying that which has risen against me.
You are to be praised for your wisdom.

Of Proverbs...

• Do not fantasize over the end result, or you shall never see the result in the end.

• Often times a step may be a leap of faith. Similarly, a leap may be a step of foolishness.

OF PROPHECY...

As I considered in meditation, I stood in something like an arena, enclosed from all sides and dark. Yet with just enough light to see two enormous doors that came together forming an arch. Their colors were red with gold trim. The heights of the doors were the height of ten average men and widths of each door were the widths of eight average men.
A single man stood towards the doors and when he drew closer to them they were opened. The sky outside the doors was dark for but a moment, then a flash of lightening blasted down the center of the view through the doorway. A bright light then filled the arena as a great eagle with an expansive wing span flew out of it.
It carried a great pearl in its mouth as it traveled a long journey from where it once was, yet it did so with great speed. It flew over a sandy desert area and dropped the pearl. The great pearl exploded as it hit the ground and out of the smoke arose something that appeared to be a buzzard. The great beast then mounted its wings which were more expansive than the eagles, and rose into the sky, giving a loud and piercing and horrible call. Men gathered from all around at its call. It then turned its evil-intended eye upon the holy land. Calling out in the same horrifying manner as before, it directed the host of blinded men towards the holy remnant.

OF PROPHECY...

In prayer and meditation upon the word of God, I was given a vision.
I stood in another place and beheld an earthen vessel in a gloomy corner of a room. The color of the vessel was blue and as I studied, it appeared new and did not seem to have been used.
Then I saw water from above and without origin, streaming down into the pot, filling the vessel to the brim and the room with light and life. As the vessel reached its fullness, the water did not stop but rather came down all the more. The vessel was gushing forth and the water streaming to wherever it found rest.
The vessel then ascended into the air. Then I beheld glasses upon glasses, stacked as in a pyramid. The vessel that had ascended then tilted itself, pouring its living waters upon the glasses stacked below. The glasses were filled with all shades of different and bright colors. Each of them held their own distinct color, some with even two or three distinct and separate colors of water. The living waters coming above from the vessel that had ascended did not stop however, after they had filled the glasses. Rather they continued and pouring all the more, overflowing them as they shook from the force. Toppling to the ground, I stood in fear of them all shattering upon the impending impact. Yet not a one was broken, and they even stood upright in position, each with their own distinct hue of life giving waters inside.
As I stood perplexed in the application of the vision, I heard a small voice:
“This Vessel is my Living Sacrifice that is holy and without blemish. New and not yet used until the fullness of time had come. The glasses are the called and the ones who will answer and receive my Spirit. The waters gushing forth in an array of bright colors giving light and life are the gifts that are manifested through my Spirit which is poured down upon all who will receive.
At this, I worshipped and offered praise and thanksgiving for this vision which the Lord had shown and revealed to his servant.

OF PSALMS...

Let the heavens be filled with your wonder.
And the whole world be amazed by the works of your hands.
Yes, the things that have confounded men throughout the ages.
Still, there are a few faithful.
Those who know our origins are not of chance.
Those who are in awe of your majesty though they cannot comprehend it in fullness,
Offering praise and thanksgiving for what has been revealed.
How long should the rest refuse?
The ones, whom you have created, yet have rejected you.
Merciful Lord, they do not understand your longsuffering.
They mistake it for indifference and even non-existence.
All the while your hand is still stretched out.
Even your fingertips are extended until the last one shall acquire.
My God and my King, full of glory and all things incomparable.
