Txt2me: Paul, could you pray with me this week. I read Prov. 29:25* in The Message the other morning, it had quit an impact.
TxtFromMe: … About the prayer... Yes...
Oh God, please help this man who has now heard
the truth of dangers that are rife round here,
much worse than COVID - we learn by your WORD
(which we now follow, since that WORD appeared,
which also shows us how to stay safe in
this deathly setting (masks won't be enough).
We'll grow in favour with both God & men,
and wisdom when things are so very tough!
We thank you for those simple proverbs which
can hit us like a missile hits a boat,
we trust you now to send along some "fish"
to carry us, that's if we can not float.
* Danger & true safety: Prov 29:25
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, ‘This is the one I spoke about when I said, “He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.” ’) Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. John 1:14-17 NIVUK
"Then I saw Heaven wide open, and before my eyes appeared a white horse, whose rider is called faithful and true, for his judgment and his warfare are just. His eyes are a flame of fire and there are many diadems upon his head. There is a name written upon him, known only to himself. He is dressed in a cloak dipped in blood, and the name by which he is known is the Word of God" (J.B.Phillips NTIME) Rev 19:11-16
And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him. … And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. NIVUK Luke 2:40, 52
