Today's Favorite Verse: Lamentations 1:7

Today's Favorite Verse: Lamentations 1:7

"Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths."

This made me ponder on how I hear people speak of past days when so much confusion and crime did not surround us. I always think about how it was also a time when people had faith in God, a moral code, and kept the commandments. Attending church and practicing your religion was a common thing. It is no strange thing, the place we find ourselves in, when you measure it against those no longer considered to belong to any faith at all. As religious people have disappeared from our communities, so has the moral compass that once guided us. It is only the light of the gospel that can restore us.

Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 140:1, 4

Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 140:1, 4

"Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings."

This made me think of the discussions I have almost daily about what's happening in the news. There are more and more senseless random attacks on people. There is no safe place to live anymore. It truly is only through prayer that you can hope to be preserved.

Day 2777

Today's Favorite Verse: Isaiah 19:8-10

Today's Favorite Verse: Isaiah 19:8-10
"The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.
And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish."

When I read verse 9 about fine flax and weave networks I immediately had the internet with its fiber optic cables and web come to mind. I sat and thought about it possibly being some sophisticated cybercrime and computer hacking that is exposed and taken down. It's not beyond the imagination in my day because data breaches are happening all the time. I decided that these verses are ones that will be made totally clear and understandable when it all comes to pass. For Isaiah is to be understood completely in the last days as prophesy is fulfilled. I'm ok with having the beginning of an idea form with the symbolism spoken of, but wait for full understanding to come.

Interesting how some other words lead to the internet.
Angle = fish hook = hooks are used in programming. Predefined points in code where additional logic maybe inserted or behavior overriden or altered. Can be used to run malicious programs and steal control of the computer from another.
Sluices = Iranian hackers compromised New York dam's sluice gates
