Assurance: 1 John: Prayers and Poetry

                Assurance

                Words, opportunities

                new information

                and discoveries always on

                interest and all curiosity. 

                Words, of directions

                bearing honest truth or

                sometimes hidden

                with lies to stumble us.

                Words from the Spirit's

                confirmation gives honesty

                and protection so we

                can step into blessed witness.

Psalm 107:25: "For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind, Which lived up the waves of the sea."

Truth: 1 John: Prayers and Poetry

Reading: 1st John 5-7: "And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for the witness of God is this that He has borne witness concerning His Son."

Truth

Thank-you Holy Spirit for continuing to guide us into truth, especially when there is so much falseness among us--including ourselves.

Please keep us listening and obeying Your words and directions only.

May anything else dissolve.

May we only see Your glimpses as You lead and follow in trust.

Your purpose only.
