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 20 Jun 17, Ps 138:4-5, Someday, everyone will bow before Jesus

Psalm 138:4–5 (ESV) — 4 All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord,
for they have heard the words of your mouth,
5 and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord,
for great is the glory of the Lord.

NOTE: When the Queen of Sheba visited Solomon, this was a partial fulfillment of this verse. It doesn't seem very true today, nor does it seem like it was ever completely true. Of course, Psalms is imagery and expresses the heart of David, and may not be a direct prophecy. In this case though, it is. Revelation tells us that every knee shall bow at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ during his second return. Obviously, the tribulation saints have effectively spread the word, even though it has had little effect. But in the end, the world will recognize how deceived it has been. We are in the midst of that deception today. We are told how to think and what to think, and if we choose differently, we can be in danger of breaking the law. I know that history has had many cycles of government and philosophical ideas. So, we may just be in one of those cycle. And while it is not necessarily the worse physically, it could be argued it is the worse morally. Are we nearing the end of times? Some of the signs say yes. The next important sign is an attack by the area of Persia (Iran) and the area of Russia against Israel. Maybe Syria becomes involved. What seems unlikely is looking more and more possible. Forgive us Lord for our sin. Open our eyes to see what David understood.
