From the Heart by B.Demaere

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now is my second chance to build a future filled with wisdom into my

 As we look at the science of focus, we see two images that have to perfectly match each other’s in order to focus perfectly in the making of a photograph. It is the closest concept that I can come up with in order to explain the oneness between the Father and Jesus Christ. With this in mind we can understand the power there is when those two are in focus in our faith. When we believe this according to the text in John 14:“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior]will also do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these [in extent and outreach], because I am going to the Father.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬ ‭AMP‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/1588/jhn.14.12.AMP There is power in togetherness when the unity and oneness of the Father and Son settle in our spirit. It is because Jesus Christ went to be with his Father that we can do greater work than he did by believing in them. I had like to apologize because the way this post is written. My

A Psalm with the Presence:   I love the book of Psalms, one of my most favorite one is Psalm 91 . It is all about God’s Presence and I love his Presence . It is such a comfort to be in and enveloped in the arms of Jesus all the time is it not?   When you start reading this psalm especially you feel the joy of the Lord coming over you.   Have you ever felt protection?  It is like a gentle ‘eye’ watch ing over you to keep you from falling and even if you happen to stumble, he is ther e to steady your feet and if that were not enough, he h as ministering angels watch ing over.  You are never far from his thoughts, and he hold you in palm of his hand.   It is a Special Psalm:   There is something different in psalm 91 and I want to capture it.  It was one of the psalm Satan used to try to deceive Jesus in Matthew 4:5 when he encouraged him to jump so that the angels would catch him in flight.  Jesus became aware of his tricks and told him that no one is to t empt God.   But this ps

This lately caught my attention as I was reading Ephesians 4:25   Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. (ESV)   It is the part where it says: “We are members of one another ”   I checked in the Amplified version to see if it said the same thing and here it is:   Therefore, rejecting all falsehood [whether lying, defrauding, telling half-truths, spreading rumors, any such as these], SPEAK THRUTH EACH ONE WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, for we are all parts of one another [and we are all parts of the body of Christ] [Zech 8:16 ] ( Ephesians 4:25)   That is exactly the way it is written in the Amplified version.   I conclude that the Bible stresses out very much that we are, whether we want or not, dependent on one another for survival. If one lies about the other, we are weakening the links in the chain which is Christ. We are working against Christ and not with him.   Lies stand against what Christ stands for

  One thing we must watch for, it is keeping our promises to God. It is so easy at one time to make a casual promise to Him and then forget or discard as not so important...but God has not forgotten and that is why this verse warn of danger.     It is a trap for a man to [speak a vow of consecration and] say rashly, “it is holy!”    And [not until] afterward consider [whether he can fulfill it] (Proverbs 20:25)     Now in the book of Judges 11:30-31 a man by the name of:       Jephthah made a vow to the Lord and said, “If you will indeed give the Ammonites into my hand. Then whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the Ammonites, it shall be the Lord’s, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering.”     As you read on in that same chapter you realize that it is his own unique virgin daughter that he had to sacrifice. Today this would not be allowed but in biblical times it was accepted. Nevertheless, however this is one of the saddest stor
