Listen and Observe the Spirit-of-Truth
Enlightened Christians can be found Carousing-Crusaders, preaching the Word and Testifying in Jesus-Name; your host is a Starbuck’s-Star-Saver. The Disciple Mitigates scripture with palatable portions of Modern-Day-Shrewdness that travel the World. If your open minded and curious about Scripture, then God is longing to you speak His name. In the beginning Tread-Softly, Listen and Observe the Spirit-of-Truth. The Holy-One has thousands of feelers that can appear Aloof, Disguised or Glowing-Brilliantly; through our Lord there are many Treasures, become One.
The lot that fell to the Josephites extended from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho east of the wilderness; then the boundary went up from Jericho to the heights at Bethel. Leaving Bethel for Luz, it crossed the ridge to the border of the Archites at Ataroth, and descended westward to the border of the Japhletites, to that of the Lower Beth-horon, and to Gezer, and from there to the sea.
Within the heritage of Manasseh and Ephraim, sons of Joseph, the dividing line for the heritage of the Ephraimites by their clans ran from east of Ataroth-addar to Upper Beth-horon and thence to the sea. From Michmethath on the north, their boundary curved eastward around Taanath-shiloh, and continued east of it to Janoah; from there it descended to Ataroth and Naarah, and reaching Jericho, it ended at the Jordan. From Tappuah the boundary ran westward to the Wadi Kanah and ended at the sea. This was the heritage of the Ephraimites by their clans, including the villages that belonged to each city set aside for the Ephraimites within the heritage of the Manassites. But they did not dispossess the Canaanites living in Gezer; they live within Ephraim to the present day, though they have been put to forced labor.” (Joshua 16:1-10 NABRE)
Faith-in-God grows Globally, pic your comfort level and nurture it; the Spirit will cultivate your Testimony. There’s a perfect moment in Life when every Soul is Tested, Excepted or Further-Refined. Patience is sown into being during Conversion. You’ll find it rewarding to Slow-Down and Explore-Scripture; she will answer in time. We’ll be able to detect change before other members of Society; your Friends and Family might get Spooked but savor the Living-Word whose Love is everlasting.
