Happy/Terrified 2025 and "BARFO"!

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 

But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.

O LORD, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.

Where can I go from Your Spirit?
         Or where can I flee from Your presence?

If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
         If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.

If I take the wings of the dawn,
         If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,

Even there Your hand will lead me,
         And Your right hand will lay hold of me."

--The Lord God Creator Of All, The Great I Am That I Am

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Whenever I feel beset, concerned, anxious, wondering . . . I find recalling and meditating on the Truth that God is OMNISCIENT, OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT . . . brings me to my senses.  It is both terrifying and comforting at once.  Ah, the mystery of God!  He works in mysterious ways (to us) . . . and is both to be (righteously) feared and loved beyond all measure!  There is none greater.  There is nothing greater.  He is the all in all.

"When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all."  [This verse is heavy, deep and, in a way, explains it all, btw.]

The mystery of The Trinity, Who is God . . . causes many to stumble.

Why not, simply accept that God IS WHAT AND WHO HE IS!

Of course, the simple (albeit marvelous) human mind, of itself cannot comprehend the depth and breadth, and width of His Being--like an animal cocking its head to comprehend a man digging a trench for some purpose. . . . 

Such are our simple (yet complex and astounding) minds that try to comprehend the workings of God--HIS purposes.

The suffering--the allowance of wicked, cruel evil abounding and seemingly ruling this fallen, material realm. . . . It makes one wonder.

BUT . . . He has given us His Word, and there is a Divine Purpose to all of it!  WHICH, is none of our business--so far as criticizing, complaining, cajoling, twisting . . . thinking we, the fallen could do "it" better.  HENCE . . . Lucifer, who imagined he could . . . and we all are feeling, seeing, experiencing the result of that dreadful, foolish, prideful impetus.  

HENCE, why Hell exists.  For those who want to argue with, defy, hate GOD AND HIS SOVEREIGNTY (because their foolish pride wants to be God) there is a place He has made for them, which satisfies their rebellion against HIS will.  BARFO! [You've no doubt heard of FAFO--"Fck Around and Find Out"]  Well, I just made a new one--"BARFO" 

Be A Rebel and Find Out.

And yes, also, one of the (many) mysteries surrounding The Lord's nature, Being is that He has a "sense of humor".  OBVIOUSLY He does, because we do . . . and we were created "in His image". . . . 

-------------------------------------------

AND, THANK YOU! I so appreciate your friendship, comradery, fellowship, interest, support  (you know who you are:) over here in this little inimitable (so far😬) corner of the realm.

I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I love God and I love reading what another Brother like has heard, felt, concluded. What I love also is the synchronicity of God and how you were led to write about him having a great sense of Humor. Just yesterday I was spending time thinking of God in Heaven and what it would be like to be with him forever? Well I was given a vision a glimpse? Or maybe it was just a memory as we didn't just appear here suddenly.
I was sitting across from what seemed like a throne and God must have made the funniest joke I ever heard and I was just laughing and laughing and he was to. Then I would finally stop, take one look at him and he would look at me and we would burst into laughter again. I couldn't look at him and not laugh and he seemed to be the same way. It felt like it could go on forever and It is hard to describe in words really, but I would love to know what the joke was! I fear him for sure, but it was nice to see/imagine/experience the other side of him.
