Notice on a slight format change:

Except for July 2012, these are mostly a collection of current devotional notes.

July 2012 is a re-write of old quiet times. My second child was born Nov 11, 1987 with multiple birth defects. I've been re-reading my QT notes from that time in my life, and have included them here. They cover the time before the birth and the few years immediately after the birth. They are tagged "historical." I added new insights and labeled them: ((TODAY, dd mmm yy)).

QT 7 May 15, Isa 2:2-3b, Knowing truth not what we want to be true

Isa 2:2-3b (ESV) It shall come to pass in the latter days
that the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and shall be lifted up above the hills;
and all the nations shall flow to it,
3 and many peoples shall come, and say:
"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths."


NOTE:  I believe this refers to the millennial kingdom when the New Jerusalem will descend onto Earth. It will be a fascinating time as God rules the earth directly, and we (believers) support his rule. The good news is that he will "teach" us his ways so that we will "walk" in his paths. For too many believers, and probably me too, we have assumed certain elements of biblical truth and read into passages to support our biases. We somehow shut out the Holy Spirit's influence in our minds on these issues, and we develop rules and principles not based on biblical truth, but on a mixture of our truth and some biblical truth. Thankfully, we will all hear and be taught directly from the Lord -- what a glorious day that will be! We will stop arguing about things we want to be true. We will have new bodies, not corrupted by sin. And we will be taught truth and corrected from our errors. Lord, I so look forward to the day. And it is coming, it is coming soon!
