Obedience to the heavenly vision

by Robert MacDonald Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. Such words we read in the New Testament. Paul claims he was not disobedient (Acts 26:19) but Festus interjects a few verses later that Paul is mad. How do we know? We are not all given heavenly visions to ‘obey’ as…

  1. Repent….I need to spend more time with God in confession of sins for the past year. I plan to better prepare my soul for the coming of the new year. We have power over sin, but still manage to sin as do all humans. In spending a greater amount of time with God, in His grace and mercy, He may strengthen my desire to be a purer person. Come Holy Spirit, come!

  2. Well, you have to get the weeds out before you can plant flowers! Weeding is repentance, and it’s not fun, but the flowers are worth it!
    I think ofJohn the Baptist fulfilling Isaiah 40, and the first 11 verses describe the preparation for the entrance of the KING! So it is timely for the second coming and specifically refers to that. I recently memorized this passage. And I am singing Handel’s “Messiah” in my heart all the time! Come, Lord Jesus!
    Shabbat shalom tonight, friends!
