Thought :

What is the shortest verse in the Bible? He wept. Short and simple. As I was meditating on this verse, pondering and thinking over it, it is not as simple as it seems. It is in reality a simplification of the longest range of emotions any human has experienced.

Is he sad?
Of course, he is. A companion and his cousin. Just departed like that.

Is he happy?
I guess the answer is yes. John has finally fulfilled his purpose on earth which is to prepare the people for Jesus.

Is he angry?
Definitely. He might even feel revengeful. That King Herod has beheaded his cousin all because of a girl.

Is he disappointed?
Might be. The appointment which he might have promised won't come to pass anymore on earth.

There are simply too much emotions that our Lord Jesus might have felt. Two words sums all these up. He wept.


Thought :

The word of God is like the glass bottom. Without a strong foundation, you can't lead a victorious life.

Psalms 33:6
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.

Love is like the glass walls.

1 Cor 13:13
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

The Holy Spirit, who dwells in you, who is with you always, comes to pour power in your glass.

Acts 1:8
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Power is like the liquid in the glass. Without a strong glass bottom and the walls, no matter how much the Holy Spirit tries to pour power in your glass, you will still be powerless.

Amazing thought. It is a revelation for that day on 090607.
