Bible Note: Hello Love Peace and Joy! You are very welcome! And may I make the humble assumption, that we all would be very pleased to have you as a member of the forum. The words you have quoted are very beautiful. Pryer is indeed a sweet fellowship with our Lord Jesus, and a time that we can, in a sense, climb onto Daddies lap, for comfort and loving affection in a time of need. I would like to also at this time, to thank Doc for his reminder that we must be very aware, and carful, that although satin is well known as 'The tempter', the human hart is desperately wicked. And we should be ever aware that we should not try to blame 'The devil' for 'all' our wicked thoughts. Sometimes we may say to ourselves when we think we are going along just fine, "gee! Were Did that thought come from?" Well may I say, that we sometimes don't have to look very far, those thoughts, may be coming from our own evil hearts. But in the light of what is said in Luke 8:28 and again in Mark 5:7; that Satin and his minions were well aware of just who Jesus was. And I apologize for my seemingly terse statement of a universal truth, you will note however that I was careful not to imply direct involvement. Only that he was perhaps close at hand. And It is only my opinion, but I tend to believe if not directly involved, he was close at hand on that night. Thanks for the reminder Doc, sorry I didn't answer your note directly, but I'm pretty sure of your very astute observation to see this. Love Peace and Joy; it would sure be great, to see a little more about you in the user profile section. I Hope you stick around for a wile. God bless. John |
