2018 Nov 27 Psalms, 1John 2
Hello to all! Wishing you well this day. Let's take a look at books 1 and 2 of Psalms, beginning with Psalm 27:4-6:
"4 One thing I have asked from Jehovah—It is what I will look for—That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To gaze upon the pleasantness of Jehovah And to look with appreciation upon his temple. 5 For he will hide me in his shelter on the day of calamity; He will conceal me in the secret place of his tent; High on a rock he will place me. 6 Now my head is high above my enemies who surround me; I will offer sacrifices at his tent with joyful shouting; I will sing praises to Jehovah."
Psalm 27:4 May we appreciate God's arrangements for true worship in the time we're living in, making sure the Bible is made available earth-wide, and making possible an accurate understanding of God's word of truth by a careful study of it. Surely true Christian unity is being made possible in these last days, as was the case in the first century. Notice how this is shown by Paul, at 1Corinthians 1:10: "Now I urge you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you should all speak in agreement and that there should be no divisions among you, but that you may be completely united in the same mind and in the same line of thought." So those who would be true Christians today will look to God, his word, and the word and example of Christ to find and recognize the ring of truth today. (Isai 2:2-4).
Psalm 27:5,6 May we not get unduly anxious over the opinions or threats of men, but keep our trust in God foremost, as right-hearted ones as a group will be preserved through the great tribulation, God having the power of salvation for His servants. As 2Peter 2:9 says: "So, then, Jehovah knows how to rescue people of godly devotion out of trial, but to reserve unrighteous people to be destroyed on the day of judgment."
Psalm 68 (Book 2, 27th psalm) refers to God, in verses 5,6, in this way: "A father of the fatherless and a protector of widows Is God in his holy dwelling. 6 God gives those who are alone a home to dwell in; He leads prisoners out into prosperity. But the stubborn must live in a parched land." May we not be "stubborn" as those ignoring God's will and seeking only their own selfish interests. Rather, may we humble ourselves before God, learning His way of life and growing in the knowledge of God, using divine knowledge to benefit others and ourselves, spiritually and in other ways.
1John 2:1-4 has much to say. We read: "My little children, I am writing you these things so that you may not commit a sin. And yet, if anyone does commit a sin, we have a helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one. 2 And he is a propitiatory sacrifice for our sins, yet not for ours only but also for the whole world’s. 3 And by this we realize that we have come to know him, namely, if we continue observing his commandments. 4 The one who says, “I have come to know him,” and yet does not observe his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in this person."
So we need to learn obedience as we come to trust the guidance of God and Christ. Our merciful Father is loving as we maintain determination to keep His commandments. The sacrifice of Christ can cover our errors. May we maintain our hold on truth, and not fall to believing that obedience is somehow unnecessary. We receive salvation based on our faith in God and Christ, and in the ransom sacrifice to cover our sins, while we strive to obey God and Christ, realizing that this leads to peaceful relations among others, ultimately to a peaceful new world, a literal and spiritual Paradise as God originally purposed.

Upcoming is the next (7) Proverbs B post. Some may recall the mention of the first day of Spring according to the 8-Day Calendar on d.302, about a week ago. Many have noticed the difference one week can make, when there was hardly a leaf on a tree and now they are flourishing! Proverbs B will be chapter 17 verses 21-25, PR-B(17.6) . Posted. Updates. (26:03.08 (Fwn) or y26.308 or d.308 or :3.8, o4/15/26 7:39,43; 8:11,27; 9:04 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posting (3) Proverbs A, chapter 4 verses 7-10, PR-A(04.2) . Posted. Updates, verses 8-10. (26:03.06 (Sha) or y26.306 or d.306 or :3.6, o4/13/26 7:21,33 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posting (4A) Psalm 119 Stanza 15 Commentary , up soon...POSTED. (26:03.02 (Sha) or y26.302 or d.302 or :3.02, o4/9/26 6:53,56 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! A new blogpost, 3A! Added (3) Proverbs A, chapter 4 verses 1-8, PR-A(04.1). On post 3B, added (4A) Psalm 119 Preview of Stanzas 15-19, and on post 3C, added (7) Proverbs B, chapter 17 verses 15-20, PR-B(17.5). On the 8-Day this is March or Shuay the 2nd, which is the actual beginning of Spring, again by the 8-Day Calendar! So the winter does end a little sooner than perhaps in times past as God has willed it, despite a trick that was causing it to appear to be sooner than it should have been. We are now currently about 1 1/4 months difference between the 7-Day and 8-Day Calendars, but it may be best to continue with the 7-Day this year in the U.S., until we can build enough consensus to switch with much of the world to the current or true 400-day calendar; we would be off about 2 months by year's end. LAST MONTH 2026 02/12 SPECIAL ADDITIONS AND NOTES NOTE : God's name in some places uses the ( ) for the last letter z. I had found out that a long time ago God actually gave permission to use His name without the plural 'z' ending. Still, He is 'the First and the Last', 'the Alpha and the Omega', 'the A and the Z'. In the case of 'Jehovah(z)', it evidently is still the case, although there is something else to add to this, in the article on the Names of God and His Son; look for this coming up.

LAST MONTH 2026 01/12 SPECIAL ADDITIONS AND NOTES (7) Proverbs B, chapter 16 verses 29-33 (conclusion of chapter 16), PR-B(16.7) . Planning tomorrow new posts to include Proverbs A as well or at least Stanza 11 of Psalm 119. A side note: You may notice that the 8-day calendar is the end of the month, Lunarday, abbreviated Lnr. To be clear, Lunarday would normally be a New Moon, not a Full Moon. At one time, GOD had the moon phases lining up with the 8-day calendar, so that the 33/34 day month was the moon's cycle, and the moon phases were always on the weekends--new moon, quarter/first-half moon, full moon, etc. At some point He dropped that when we weren't yet acknowledging the new calendar. But this is something He can or will do when we do begin to recognize it more officially, as other countries have around the world. We are still in the midst of Winter in the U.S., even though Baseball Spring training camp began some time ago, and some were beginning to wonder if it was going to become a Winter sport. Proverbs B posted. Update to Notes above. Update to Proverbs 16, verse 33. Further. NOTE : God's name in some places uses the ( ) for the last letter z. I had found out that a long time ago God actually gave permission to use His name without the plural 'z' ending. Still, He is 'the First and the Last', 'the Alpha and the Omega', 'the A and the Z'. In the case of 'Jehovah(z)', it evidently is still the case, although there is something else to add to this, in the article on the Names of God and His Son; look for this coming up.
