My Divine Notes

Written April-June 2011 Psalm 9:10 (GW)  Those who know your name trust you, O LORD, because you have never deserted those who seek your help. I know one thing for certain: God will hold my hand. Today I saw how frail human life is. My Mom is ill and if I start to let go of the peace that God gives me, I feel intense turmoil in my heart. Just as I start to fall, God steadies my heart. He steadies my heart by giving me the Scripture that I need to hang on. Those deep times of communion with the Lord have given me the confidence to know that he is there even when times are hard for me. Certainly, I cannot live only for those deep moments with God. But those times when I clearly discern his hand in the everyday-ness of my life are the result of that bond. If I didn't know God, I would not understand his presence in my life.

So why did I stop blogging and writing about the journey?   I had not been able to put into words what God revealed ...

September 9, 2012 Facing a consuming fire, a jealous God – Esh Oklah, El Kanna Isaiah 33:14-15 14 “Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?      Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?” 15 Those who walk righteously      and speak what is right, As I go deeper into my relationship with God through Bible study and relationship- building with Him, I am awe struck with God’s holiness especially during our era of “anything goes” theology and spirituality. In my early days, I naively thought I had it all figured out when I rededicated myself to the LORD; then the hat dropped. And, I turned my back on God.   I was even dismayed when I realized that I was upset because he allowed certain things to happen to me. My walk with God has taught me that I need him every hour of every day. None of us is immune to falling into our sinful nature, no matter how pious our titles are before humankind. We, his sinful...
