*******************************************

Read not this book in any case
but with a single eye:
(Matthew 6;22)

Read not but first desire God''s grace,
to understand thereby.
(Psalm 119:27, 73)

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6:22

We need to have a single eye especially focussed on God's Word and serving Jesus Christ..
If we are living God's Word, experiencing Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, the way we should be then even in the difficult times there should be a joy way deep down in having this main focus of God's Word being our guideline with the Holy Spirit's help in our joyous serving of Jesus Christ, our God and Saviour!

Make me to understand ye way of thy precepts,
and I will meditate in thy wondrous works.
Psalm 119:27

Thine hands have made me and fashioned me:
give me understanding therefore,
that I may learn thy commandments.
Psalm 119:73

Jesus Answered these two verses,
He promised to send he Holy Spirit to help us, to comfort us, and to teach us of all things.
Jesus also promised to send the Holy Spirit to bring back to our remembrance all things which he said.
This is why it is important to study and read the Word so that the Holy Spirit can bring God's Word back to your remembrance
If you can't read very well then listen to the Word of God.



In conclusion here is how far we are in this very Biblical poem.

"Here is the spring where waters flow,
to quench our heat of sin:
Here is the tree where truth doth grow,
to lead our lives there in:
Here is the judge hat stints the strife,
when men's devices fail:
Here s the bread that feeds the life;
that death cannot assail.
The tidings of salvation dear,
comes to our ears from hence;
The fortress of our faith is here,
and shield of our defense,
Then be not like the hog that hath
a pearl at his desire,
And takes more pleasure in the trough
and wallowing in the mire.
Read not this book in any case
but with a single eye:
Read not but first desire God''s grace,
to understand thereby.."


Sincerely in Christ,
Pastor Bill
