Thy Word hath quickened me...

After sparing with unbelievers . . . . .who have forsaken your Word, Father….then comes a "word" from You via the Holy Spirit through your Word comforting me. You have written your word upon the fleshy tablets of my heart in such a way that my desires are being conformed to your desires.

I am not ashamed, Lord, of the Gospel found in your Word for which you have illuminated me by the Holy Spirit. You are the God of all ages excelling all knowledge and wisdom. Unlike the world's sciences and human wisdom, You never change and are the same since the foundations of this world were lain and time began. Your Word and message never changes.

Thank you for illuminating the Truth to those who are given eyes to see and ears to hear. Thank you for redeeming us and giving us courage to be a witness. Whether it is unto seed planting or until judgment...One a frangrance unto life the other unto a stench of death. Amen, so be it. (II Cor. 2:14)

Psalm 119:41

Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, [even] thy salvation, according to thy word. So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] have I not declined from thy law. I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.

II Cor 3:3

[Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

Awesome. Only the Lord can save and illuminate man and comfort the heart....how powerful and great is your Word that quickens those who believe.

I am greatly encouraged and blessed. Amen and amen.
