Writings…

 Writings…

You can study, read through the Word a multitude of times and always learn some new…word studies, people studies, time studies, topic studies….the studies are only limited by time and finite man’s ideas, questions…there are mysteries, outright commands, promises, words of wisdom, life…and so much more…we can gain wisdom, knowledge, but most important-the Way to salvation…people have questioned it, burned it, hidden it, banned it, denied it and accepted it over the ages…

I was looking up “writing”…times when it speaks of God’s direct writing…times of the commandments, judgement, promise…

I so appreciate the comfort  knowing I am engraved on the palms of His hands…but also knowing that, it is reminder that his hands were pierced fo my sin, my folly…

Or that He has a plan, which we can ponder, meditate and learn from…

What did Jesus write on the ground before the woman’s accusers? The Ten Commandments again, the list of the accusers names, the litany of their complaints…or simply his Forgiveness…as the men drifted away one by one, convicted…

Or the writing on the wall, during Daniel’s time…judgement came swiftly…

Or our lives are “letters” to others, as Paul said…our hearts taught by the Holy Spirit…what a gift and responsibility…

And finally, in Revelations, the Lamb’s book of life…names written by God…known by Him…

Thank YOU…You are the Author, the writer, the finisher of our faith…

looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Isaiah 49:16 

“Then from his presence the hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed. And this is the writing that was inscribed: Mene, Mene , Tekel , and Parsin . This is the interpretation of the matter: Mene, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; Tekel, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting; Peres, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”

Daniel 5:24-28

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that you have done; I ponder the work of your hands.

Psalm 143:5 

This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.

2 Corinthians 3:3 

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Revelation 21:22-27
