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 21 Aug 2020, Hos 14:9, God's way is the only way toward true happiness


Hosea 14:9 (ESV) —
9 Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;
whoever is discerning, let him know them;
for the ways of the Lord are right,
and the upright walk in them,
but transgressors stumble in them.

NOTE: Real wisdom and discernment are found in God's word. There is a way, which seems right, but its end is destruction -- that way is the way of the world. My nation stumbles greatly right now. It sows destruction upon itself because it has rejected the ways of the Lord. It has convinced itself that God's ways are foolish and science has disproved God and his word. But, that is not true. Science has not disproved God or his ways or his word in the slightest. Nor has it proved it either because some of the things of God are beyond our understanding. But much is not, and those things are true and plainly visible. But Satan has deceived us by using corrupted men to carry forth lies. Men and women who even believe the very things that they know are lies (yes, that does sound confusing, but it is true).

PRAYER: Have mercy on us O Lord for our foolishness. Open our eyes to truth. Give us hearts that hunger after you.
