For revelation I will choose
the Holy Spirit, not some muse.
May He choose me and may He use
what energy I have.

1 Corinthians 2:9-10 KJV – 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Ovi Poetry Challenge: Friend

Divisiveness can put an end
to love and health unless we blend
our thoughts and words as to a friend
and not some random foe.

Compass Points

Dale offers the prompt “compass points” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I offered two possibly north facing photos, but I am not sure.

Compass Point: East (based on the rising Sun)
Compass Point: West (based on this wild sunset)
Compass Point: South (based on the Mediterranean Sea being to the East of Jaffa, Israel
Royal Terns
Compass Point: North (more or less) because these Royal Terns are facing the Atlantic Ocean and I’m trying to get close enough with my phone from behind
Compas Point: Probably North since this bridge was crossing the Salzach River in Austra

But where is truth? And do we care
enough to search for Him?

Matthew 25:1-13 KJV – 1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
