Quote
We have spoken about the feminine side to advent, a time of waiting, of pregnancy, of gestating in the dark. The Godhead is feminine and is grounded in mystery more than history. It speaks, if it speaks at all, to the apophatic dimension of divinity.
The apophatic dimension of divinity is called by Meister Eckhart “superessential darkness that has no name and will never be given a name.”
What does that tell us?... That we should entertain the possibility that much God talk is too much talk and not enough listening.

Darkness and Light (Psalms 139:11-12)
Psalms 139:11-12 NLT
[11] I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night— [12] but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you.

Verse of the Day 11-11-22
Verse of the Day 11-11-22
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10
Let’s start off with question: How many of you reading this think that you have no gifts and/or talents? If you answered “Yeah sure I have gifts and I have talents and here is what they are…” then you are way ahead of most people living in this world.…

Psalms chapter 139
1 (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

1 O God, You search me and know me inside out. 2 You know my comings and goings. You understand my thoughts completely. 3 You examine my ways, whether waking or sleeping, and are familiar with the habits of my being. 4 Before I speak a word, You already know it. 5 You are all around me, behind me and before me. You lay Your loving hand on me, choosing me in love. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me to comprehend. It is utterly beyond me.
7 Where could I go to escape Your Spirit? Where could I flee from Your presence? 8 Were I to go to the highest heavens, I would find You there. Were I to descend into the depths of hell, even there I would find You!
9 Were I to take the red wings of dawn and flee to the sea's utmost end, 10 even there You would be leading me, and Your right hand would hold me fast! 11 Were I to say, "I will take cover in darkness," the night would turn to light.
12 For darkness is not dark to You. The night shines like the day, and darkness is as bright as light. Waking or sleeping, I am always with You.
13 You have formed my innermost parts. You knit me together in the womb of my mother. 14 I thank You, for I am marvelously and wonderfully made! All Your works are wonder-full, as my soul knows very well. 15 You clearly saw even my bones when You made me in secret, when You wove me together in the dark depths of the womb. 16 Your eyes saw me as embryo, and before my days began, You shaped them. My whole life is written in Your Book of Life!
17 How precious Your thoughts are to me, Shaddai! How great in number they are! 18 If I were to try and count them, it would be impossible, like trying to count the grains of sand on the seashore.
Psalm 139:1-18 (feminine translation from Swallow’s Nest: A Feminine Reading of the Psalms by Marchiene Rienstra)
Possible uses of this psalm:
Reassurance of God's presence in the darkness
Pray over a blue candle to instill confidence in God's guidance
Pray to replace feelings of sadness with hope and optimism
Pray to nurture and maintain love, especially in marriage
Receive confidence and self-worth

April 28
Romans 8:38-39 Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 90:12 Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 86:11 Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name.
John 14:23 …Anyone who loves Me will obey My teaching.…
1 Peter 5:10 And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
May you walk humbly before the Lord, avoiding the pride of life and lust of the eyes, remembering always that though the victory was yours, the power, and the glory, is God's. Judges 8
May you understand that fruitfulness in God and service to man does not require man's titles or recognition. Judges 9
May you be certain that as you die to yourself, others will be watching and see the hand of God, giving glory to Him. Luke 23
May you know that God has placed His people, good and upright individuals where they are needed, to occupy until He calls for their service, at which time they will be revealed to provide support and encouragement. Luke 23
May you wait patiently through your times of puzzlement and perplexity, trusting in God's promise as received through His Word until understanding arrives through the ministry of His Spirit. Luke 24
Rejoice in the refreshing I send you, My child, and receive the blessings of My presence.
You must acknowledge Me, My dear one, to receive Me, just as the door must be opened to allow the One outside to come in and have fellowship with you.
What sweet fellowship I desire with you, and what joys I have prepared for your heart! By offering Me praise, My love, the gates of your life are opened to Me, and by worshiping Me in our times together I am able to enter in triumphal procession, taking captive those thoughts and feelings which try to infiltrate and dissuade you with unrest.
Let the light of My Word fill your mind and the fountain of the life in the Spirit bring refreshing and enjoyment in the cleanliness and holiness that you desire!
May you exalt the Lord your God and worship at His holy mountain for the Lord your God is holy. Psalm 99
May the Lord your God answer you for He is a forgiving God, although He punishes misdeeds. Psalm 99
May you exalt the Lord your God and worship at His footstool for He is holy, mighty, and loves justice, having established equity. Psalm 99
May you praise His great and awesome name, for the Lord is great in Zion where He reigns over the nations as they tremble, and sits enthroned between the cherubim. Psalm 99

can you pray for a person who is lost
who remembers what it felt like to sit in the light and glory but has sunken so deeply into the dark
Praying tonight & praying Psalm 139 over this person.
O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
5 You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.
7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
13 For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
I awake, and I am still with you.
19 Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God!
O men of blood, depart from me!
20 They speak against you with malicious intent;
your enemies take your name in vain.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
22 I hate them with complete hatred;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!

Vindicate Me, O LORD
1 [By David.] Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in LORD without wavering.
2 Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.
4 I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD;
7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works.
8 LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.
9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;
10 in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.

finishing Philippians 4
This week we have taken a dive through Philippians 4. This literally is one of my favorite chapters of the Bible. I have a lot of favorites. As I said a couple times earlier one of my first Bible promises came from verses 6 and 7 (my first Bible promises were from Psalm 139:23-24 and 150:6).
We have talked about peace and how God gives us that gift for leaving behind worry. His peace is stronger than anything we know and far beyond anything we have yet to experience. But what we might not have heard, or at least mentioned in these e-devotion, is that the best thing we learn is from verse 9 as it says “the God of peace with be with you.”
Not only will we have peace. We will have God with us. He brings peace with Him. I love that.
But as we close out this week of e-devotions and our dive through Philippians 4 we find some final words from Paul. Let me share and summarize those a bit for us…
Philippians 4:10-23 NLT
How I praise the Lord that you are concerned about me again… 11 Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. 13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. 14 Even so, you have done well to share with me in my present difficulty. 15 As you know, you Philippians were the only ones who gave me financial help when I first brought you the Good News… 17 I don’t say this because I want a gift from you. Rather, I want you to receive a reward for your kindness. 18 At the moment I have all I need—and more! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me with Epaphroditus… 19 And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus… 23 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
That is a lot to digest, and I even condensed a little. Here are the highlights, and this is so, so good.
When people are concerned about you, it really is encouraging!
We must learn to be content if we have a little or if we have a lot. I have learned that.
Christ gives us strength and the ability to do so much. I leave verse 13.
The people blessed Paul and were so generous. He wanted them to be blessed even more.
Paul pointed them, and now points us as well, to know that it is all about the grace of God.
May we learn to go through Scripture, grab on to what God is saying and watch Him change our lives. He is molding us to be more and more like Jesus. This chapter is only a small part of all the God is doing. My prayer is that you have taken time to dive in these verses and grow with me.
God is good! Philippians 4 proves that fact once more.
