Standing In Fine Linen (Luke 23:40-42, Luke 24:45-47, John 6:63, Revelations 19:8) Each time I read Your Holy Word I see the benefits I receive illustrating my need for Your Holy Spirit--Lord, I believe but help my unbelief give me the faith displayed by the dying thief, so I can stand with him in front of you. In fine linen arrayed. Ear Ticklers (Jeremiah 6:14, Matthew 7:15, Romans 16:17-18, 2 Timothy 4:3-4, 2 Peter 2, 2 John 1:7) Cursed be preachers whose words flatter itching-eared creatures battered with feigned service to the Lord filled with lies in actuality they serve the "lord of the flies". These preachers bring their people down to a terrible end they may have sweet words but Satan is waiting to rend and they bubble forth rotten curds frothing with exploiting greed carelessly stomping and trampling the bruised reed. Better Than Riches Or Fame (Proverbs 31) Your works praise you at the gates you buy fields at reasonable rates you are a blessing to your man may your children bless you repeating it again and again. May your entire house arise to honour your noble name for your care for them is precious far, far beyond riches or fame.
