Thankfulness is a spiritual weapon. It is a positive focus on Him:
the Architect of mankind. Attitude toward Him is everything.
This attitude accomplishes much. Sharp and powerful.
We win. Anything less is dull and ineffective.

IS It Matter or DOES It Matter?
Matter matters.
One is about the material substance of things. One is about the importance of a thing: how much does it matter? Which is also a kind of substance. But, what makes a thing matter, and to whom?
How much weight do you put on a thing? How heavily do you CARE ABOUT it? VS. How much weight is intrinsic in a thing: a person; a mountain? As a matter of fact, which IS more important - matter or matter? Allow me to take this matter further!
ALL LIFE MATTERS + WE ARE ALL MADE OF MATTER on the planet at this point. "Faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for.." Hebrews 11:1. Do you hope for a car, for instance? Or for a MEANINGFUL LIFE? You can have a car and an empty life (vacant:opposite of matter). Or a full, meaningful life and not have a car. OR BOTH!! Faith matters substantially. Create well!

Seeing Him
I used to think I didn't need to SEE Jesus. I don't NEED to - but I sure WANT to. Who wouldn't?
"Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe." I didn't "see" Him, but I sure FELT HIM WHEN HE "SHOWED UP". It was my Spirit being born again. I believed without seeing Him.
Since His time on earth we all have to believe without seeing Him - initially. Almost all of us.
BUT NOW - WHY NOT? I don't need to see Him IN ORDER TO believe. I already KNOW HIM.
But He is appearing to many now, like right after His resurrection and ascension. He released a lot of people from spiritual "prison", and a bunch of them were seen then. WHY NOT NOW? No reason:)!

perfectly
How did Yeshua/Jesus keep the Word perfectly, and NEVER even once break it? In our humanness we may wonder; He was tempted like us.
Because He WAS the Word. Abide in Him and be the same.
John 1:14 John 15:5
Hebrews 4:15

Two Wings...or more
It has been awhile since I've blogged anything. Not because I don't have ideas. Here is the latest:
There are two places, at least, that depict the Power of His wings. I love them both. Familiar verses.
Psalm 91:1 As you dwell in the secret place of Most High, you find that you are abiding under the SHADOW OF HIS WINGS.
Malachi 4:2 As we fear His name (respect Him as the final power) the Sun of righteousness shall rise WITH HEALING IN HIS WINGS.
You've got to LOVE these wings! Protective, powerful, full of goodness and peace. Gracious! Beautiful! But we forget to go there or at least to STAY THERE. Abide there! Does it take a serious catastrophe for us to put aside our human ideas of how to proceed. Under His WINGS I will TRUST! Psalm 36:7. So there's a third. There are so many. We take a lot of reminding, yes? I do.
