Above and Below- PT379

A shadow lurks.

It is just as beautiful as that which casts it, but far more treacherous. For beneath the surface, it beckons.

Only the soul, with an ear to the Spirit, can determine what is real.

The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord has made them both.

Proverbs 20:12 (ESV)

There is a never-ending battle between that which is above and that which is below. It’s what lies underneath that deceives what we see.

<><

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

Ephesians 1:17 (NIV)

My baby girl graduates this week, so we are Lubbock-bound. Prayers for hope, joy, love, and success are requested for her next stage of life. May the Lord wrap her in his loving arms, and may she always see the truth.

Be safe, stay kind, show grace, and pray. Know this - the world and all that is in it sit in the hands of God.
