Psalm 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

This is a new year and I begin my third year in bringing devotionals to the world. I have for the most part shared my experiences and tried to relate my messages out of the Lord dealing with me. It has been brought to my attention that I do not always put things simply. I’ve been with the Lord for a long time and in many ways I have forgotten what it feels like to be lost and needy.

In an effort to correct that method of presenting the Word to the world, especially to my foreign readers who have English as a second language, I seek to simplify my writing. While I do enjoy the deep mysteries in the Word, I would serve more people better if my words were simply put.

Beginning tomorrow I shall endeavor to stay on one topic for a season and place basic information in order to address the issues and not move on until the subject has been thoroughly examined and explained. This will be new for me, so please be patient. Hopefully I will achieve two goals, to be obedient in my calling and to reach a broader audience with greater clarity.

My opening effort will be in how our God communicates with His creation. Any relationship can only be improved by clear communication and the removal of any doubt, fear and ambiguity.

1 Corinthians 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity (love), I am nothing.

Love is my motivation and my desire is to be successful.

Isaiah 11:1-10

¹ And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

² And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

³ And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

⁴ But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

⁵ And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

⁶ The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

⁷ And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

⁸ And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.

⁹ They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

¹⁰ And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

Enough said.
