The Armor of God

 

 

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Ephesians 6:10-17

 



For Unto Us

 

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

Snow in Central Kentucky

 

 

We had a little snow in central Kentucky yesterday. It was nice to see, but the high winds and low temperatures were not much fun. I did some volunteer work last night at the Kentucky Horse Park for Southern Lights. It was good to see all of the visitors, who braved the weather, enjoying the Christmas festivities. The scene above was an image I took a few years back, but it looks similar to what we had here in Kentucky yesterday. Everyone stay safe and Happy Trails.

 



December 12, 2012

 

Wow! Is it 12/12/12 already? How time flies when you are having fun.......or not. May everyone stay safe and be blessed today. Happy Trails.

 



Those that call Evil good

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Isaiah 5:20

[King James Bible]

 



Lawlessness & the One who restrains

 

For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way.

2 Thessalonians 2:7

[American Standard Version]

 



The Law of Our General Nature

“If once the people become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions.”

Thomas Jefferson
