Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I’m kinda daydreamin’ a bit...

..'bout what’s so and what ain’t so. Oh no!    

And got a ways to go. Not always easy to tell with all these unnamed sources these days huh. 

Lots of stuff ain't SO truly so. 

Seems like what ain’t so keeps flyin’ at all groups of peoples I know.. yeah, dif percentages of it.. and some individuals from every angel, background and corner of this world are actually embracing some of it.. to their own hurt. 

Ever done like I’ve done with novel sounding info? Stuck it in a folder in my mind titled: Wait for additional Instructions on this? 

Listen, it it’s new it ain’t true, and if it’s all the way true, it ain’t new. 

I’ll ask for new insight or application method and illumination on the old. There is no “new revelation” as they say, but we have the old -- the Bible. The methods change, the Message never will! 

“Thus says the Lord: 'Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.'” Jeremiah 6:16 #emph.mine

Why not walk in it when it's the best way for ya to know and go? Why live so stubborn and stiff-necked like a mule? Do ya really see where those folk are goin' and fallin' into?

The Bereans still inspire me, don’t they you? 

What a noble bunch. Hey, when you run into what ya don’t know to be so, just don’t get like when someone you love dies, just fall back on what you absolutely know to be so.. like God is completely good, kind, just and righteous. He loves you and has a really good plan for you in Christ His Son. And when things get weird or tough (like right before he does or tells you somethin’ lifechanging from His word), He’ll work even all that out for good for ya too (Romans 8:28-29). The Bible says..

“As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue. Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true. As a result, many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.  But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that Paul was also proclaiming the word of God in Berea, they went there themselves to incite and agitate the crowds.”  Acts 17:10-12

Test it against the Bible before ya run with it. Pray about it, get some wise counsel, prove all things. 

“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20

“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:” Proverbs 1:5

”Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.” Proverbs 9:9

“Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.” Acts 2:41

“Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the Law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does. Not so the wicked!..“ Psalm 1:1-4

Choose to turn and enter His rest.. all blessed. Yeah, that’s how I feel today -- too blessed to be stressed, over-pressed, depressed or caught in some lame tempest!

Just think of how much greater a story Sampson would have to tell if he had wisely applied Psalm 1.  

“So Delilah said to Samson, ‘Tell me the secret of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued."’ (HELLO, RELATIONAL RED FLAG, THEN) Samson answered her..” See Judges 16.  

Only two paths to go -- the wise way or the way of folly. You choose. (Matthew 5:3–12; Luke 6:20–23).    

“But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night..” Psalm 1:2,3

”MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day..” Psalm 119:97,100,148

The Holy Spirit livin' on the inside can help you know what's so.. cuz He sure does. Come to Jesus and have a full assurance inside!
