I've been on this platform only a few days, but I have observed something rather disappointing. Now I know it takes time to form and develop relationships, but what I see is akin to walking into a new church, staying for the entire service, and not have one person greet you, or even acknowledge your presence. In our travels, Patsy and I upon finding ourselves in a new city have experienced this too many times. Our take? Were we to be living in that city, there's one church we would not consider making our church home. I've done a bit of browsing around a few places on this platform, including looking at the public feed. I have seen zero conversations between members. A few comments on posts which for the most part are one or two word comments. That's not conversation. I've made a few posts which could be material for conversations. Not one comment on any of them, So is this platform going to be a fellowship of fellow Christians, or is it just going to be a board for sharing memes and other non-personal content?

Hello, I would like to share with you the message from 17 août 2026 from “The Good Seed” daily calendar. God drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, at the boundary of light and darkness. (Job 26:10) The earth – ingeniously protected Water is essential for life as we know it. Water can be found everywhere on earth. Clouds carry it there, sometimes it rains or snows, other times fog carries it; even in deserts, dew falls.  On earth, there are 1.4 billion cubic kilometres of water in an endless cycle. Only 0.0001 percent of it exists as water vapour in the atmosphere. To ensure that none of this precious resource is lost, there is a kind of built-in vapour barrier above us. When water evaporates and rises, it freezes into ice crystals. These crystals then fall back down due to gravity.  This process prevents water from evaporating into space, and thus maintains a temperate planet, suited to the continuation of life.  Additionally, we have our atmosphere. If there were neither an earth atmosphere nor an earth magnetosphere, we would be constantly exposed to x-rays, bombarded by solar wind, and hit by meteorites. Life would be exterminated, and the planet earth uninhabitable. However, as it is, the earth travels through the solar system at supersonic speed, protected by the ozone layer and the atmosphere.  I must confess, I lack the belief that all of this could have happened randomly and gradually formed, so perfectly and beautifully. No – God “drew a circular horizon” and formed the atmosphere and the horizon on earth. And into the universe, He placed lights “for signs and seasons, and for days and years”.  With David, I say, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork” (Genesis 1:14; Psalm 19:1). Today’s reading: Joshua 17:1-18 – 1 Corinthians 14:1-12

Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you. In preparation for my German littles, there has been a lot of activity around the house. I have two rooms left upstairs to complete, and two rooms downstairs to finish. Yesterday was an outside workday. A trip to town for supplies first thing, then mowing … two yards pristinely mowed (if I do say so myself…haha), then finishing up one of the three rooms upstairs. My back is telling me that I am not young anymore…haha. During my travels yesterday, I was listening to different songs and commentary from my phone. One person that I follow because I like their content was singing Are You Washed in the Blood; however, she changed it from Are you … to I am. It caught me off guard at first, thinking it was not the song I thought it was; however, I quickly found myself singing right along with her. The power that I felt by changing the lyrics just that little bit … magnificent. I got chills as I sang along, thinking about how blessed I am that I made that decision, so many years ago, and though I have fallen more times than I can count … I am washed in the blood of the Lamb. I will walk on the streets of gold one day. The last time that I talked to my father-in-law, I asked him if he knew where he was going after he died. He plainly and directly told me that he was going to the cemetery in a hole. (Before his passing, he did change his view and was baptized.) Unfortunately, his thought process is that of many walking beside us today … even some ‘Christians’. Those who attend church regularly or claim the title still struggle with overt feelings that are not truly washed. This pains me. Having the peace of His blood covering my soul, without a doubt knowing where I will spend eternity, that is what makes life so much easier to manage. Scripture says that His peace is incomprehensible to those who do not have it. This is because the enemy has his digs into the thoughts of those who are lacking. He plugs and picks away at what they think they know versus what they feel. He finds cracks and small entryways into their minds and reminds them of every little infraction they ever committed. He shouts out all ‘big’ sins and whispers the ‘little’ ones. He remembers every little thing that you did your entire life and reminds you of it to keep you down. HOWEVER, when you are washed in the blood, everything you did prior to your washing is washed away the minute you are baptized. Nothing you did prior to your conversion is held against you. You are genuinely washed in his blood for those sins. Now … the cool thing about after that day … after you are committed and washed in baptism, when you fall (and you will because you are human), all you need to do is go to Him in prayer and ask for forgiveness. Daily, I talk to Him, ask Him to show me my failings, ask Him to forgive me, and to fill me with His Spirit. Peace flows through me like a river. And it can you as well. Today I encourage you to go to Him in prayer. Have a lengthy conversation about your day, what is coming up that you already know will be a potential trip hazard, ask Him to steady your footsteps, and walk in His peace. If you have not yet committed to His offering of salvation, I encourage you to seek out His presence and sit with Him. Ask Him whatever is on your heart. Watch the birds of the air and ground animals play and know that if He will take care of them, as he does, then why wouldn’t He want to take care of his most precious commodity …YOU. My friend, seek His love, grace, and mercy. There is nothing like it. I promise. Be blessed. **My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he whose walk is blameless will minister to me. – Psalm 101:6

📌 Today's Readings are from the Book of 1 Kings 9–10 | 2 Corinthians 2📌 👇 Overviews Are Below (PLEASE READ YOUR BIBLE: Overviews Do Not Replace Daily Reading) 👇 1 Kings 9 The Blessing of Obedience and the Warning Against Compromise 1 Kings 9 opens after Solomon has completed both the temple and his royal palace. Years of faithful labor have culminated in the fulfillment of God's promises, and once again the Lord appears to Solomon. This second appearance is not primarily about blessing but about covenant responsibility. God reminds Solomon that His promises remain secure, yet continued blessing is connected to continued obedience. The Lord assures Solomon that He has heard his prayer and has set the temple apart for His name. However, He also warns that if Solomon or the people turn away from Him to worship other gods, the nation will experience judgment, and even the magnificent temple will become a testimony of what happens when God's people abandon their covenant relationship with Him. This warning reveals an important biblical principle. God's covenant love never changes, but His people are still responsible to walk faithfully before Him. Outward success and religious activity cannot replace a heart fully devoted to the Lord. The temple itself is not a guarantee of blessing if obedience is absent. The chapter then records Solomon's continued accomplishments. Cities are built, trade expands, alliances are strengthened, and the kingdom prospers. God blesses the work of Solomon's hands, allowing Israel to enjoy peace, influence, and abundance. Yet throughout these achievements, the reader is reminded that prosperity is a gift from God rather than the result of human wisdom alone. Beneath the success, subtle warning signs begin to emerge. Solomon's increasing political alliances and extensive building projects demonstrate remarkable leadership, but they also reveal the growing temptation to depend upon earthly strength rather than wholehearted trust in God. The seeds of future compromise are quietly being planted. Theologically, 1 Kings 9 teaches that God's blessings are intended to lead His people into deeper obedience rather than greater self-confidence. The chapter reminds us that spiritual faithfulness is far more important than outward success. God's presence cannot be replaced by religious buildings, personal achievements, or national prosperity. This chapter points to Christ, who perfectly fulfilled every condition of God's covenant. Where Israel repeatedly failed, Jesus remained completely obedient to the Father. Through His perfect righteousness, believers receive the blessings of the New Covenant—not through their own performance, but through His finished work on the cross. For believers today, 1 Kings 9 reminds us that success should never cause us to drift from dependence upon God. Seasons of blessing require the same humility as seasons of difficulty. In Christ, we are called to remain faithful, guarding our hearts against compromise and remembering that our greatest treasure is not what God gives us but God's presence Himself. 1 Kings 10 The Wisdom That Points the Nations to God 1 Kings 10 records the visit of the Queen of Sheba, who travels a great distance to witness Solomon's wisdom firsthand. Reports of Solomon's knowledge, prosperity, and relationship with the Lord have spread throughout the surrounding nations. Her journey demonstrates that God's blessings upon Israel were never intended to remain isolated but were meant to reveal His glory to the world. The Queen arrives with difficult questions, and Solomon answers each one with wisdom that leaves her astonished. She observes not only his understanding but also the order of his kingdom, the excellence of his servants, and the peace that characterizes his reign. She recognizes that the source of Solomon's greatness is not merely his intelligence but the God who established him as king. Her response becomes one of praise to the Lord. She acknowledges that Israel's God has demonstrated covenant love by placing such a wise ruler over His people. The nations are given a glimpse of God's character through the wisdom and leadership of Solomon. Israel is fulfilling its calling to be a light among the nations. The remainder of the chapter describes the extraordinary wealth, influence, and honor that surrounded Solomon's reign. Gold, precious materials, trade, military resources, and international recognition all testify to the blessings God has poured upon the kingdom. Solomon reaches a level of prosperity unmatched by any king before him. Yet the chapter also quietly introduces an important tension. As Solomon's wealth, influence, and possessions increase, careful readers recognize that some of these accomplishments begin approaching the very dangers Moses had warned future kings about. Prosperity itself is not sinful, but abundance can slowly shift the heart away from complete dependence upon God if it is not held with humility. Theologically, 1 Kings 10 reveals that God's wisdom is meant to draw people to Himself. The blessings given to Israel were designed to display His glory among the nations. At the same time, the chapter reminds us that earthly wealth, influence, and success must never become substitutes for wholehearted devotion to the Lord. This chapter points directly to Christ. Jesus declared that one greater than Solomon had come. Solomon possessed remarkable wisdom, but Christ is the very wisdom of God. The Queen of Sheba traveled across the world to hear Solomon, yet today people from every tribe, language, and nation are invited to come to Jesus, who offers not only wisdom but eternal life. His kingdom far surpasses the temporary glory of Solomon's reign because it is founded upon righteousness, grace, and truth. For believers today, 1 Kings 10 reminds us that our lives should reflect God's wisdom in such a way that others are drawn to Him. Every blessing we receive is an opportunity to glorify the Lord rather than ourselves. In Christ, we possess treasures far greater than earthly wealth, and we are called to live with humility, faithfulness, and wisdom so that the world may see the greatness of our King. 2 Corinthians 2 — Forgiveness, Restoration, and the Triumph of the Christ 2 Corinthians chapter 2 reveals the compassionate heart of the Christ, the Son of God, through the themes of repentance, forgiveness, restoration, and faithful ministry. After addressing the comfort that God provides in suffering, Paul now explains how that comfort should shape the way believers relate to one another. The redemptive plan is not only about bringing sinners into a relationship with God but also about restoring broken relationships within the body of Christ. This chapter demonstrates that grace and truth must always work together in Christian living. The chapter begins by explaining Paul's desire to spare the Corinthian believers unnecessary sorrow. His previous correction had been firm because sin had to be addressed, but his goal was never condemnation. Like the Christ, who lovingly disciplines those He loves, Paul desired restoration rather than punishment. This reflects the heart of the Son of God, who came to seek and save the lost and to restore those who genuinely repent. The focus then turns to a believer who had experienced church discipline and had now demonstrated repentance. Rather than continuing to burden this individual with shame, Paul urges the church to forgive, comfort, and reaffirm their love. This is one of the clearest demonstrations of the redemptive plan in action. The Christ does not forgive halfway, nor does He leave repentant sinners condemned. He restores them fully into fellowship, and His people are called to extend that same grace to one another. Forgiveness is shown to be an act of spiritual wisdom as well as obedience. Refusing to forgive can become an opportunity for division and spiritual defeat. The Son of God calls His church to guard against bitterness because unforgiveness can damage both individuals and the entire body of Christ. Christian living requires believers to stand firmly for holiness while also extending mercy when genuine repentance has occurred. Paul then shares his own burden for the churches and his concern for the advancement of the gospel. Even when opportunities for ministry were available, his heart remained deeply connected to the well-being of fellow believers. This reveals the selfless nature of true ministry. Those who serve the Christ are motivated not by personal success but by love for God's people and a desire to see His redemptive plan advance throughout the world. The chapter concludes with one of Scripture's beautiful pictures of the believer's life in the Christ. Paul describes followers of the Son of God as participating in His triumph and spreading the knowledge of Him wherever they go. Just as a pleasing fragrance fills the air, the lives of believers should reveal the presence of the Christ to everyone around them. Some will receive the gospel with joy, while others will reject it, but faithful servants continue proclaiming the truth with sincerity and integrity. This closing image reminds us that Christian living is both a privilege and a responsibility. Believers do not represent themselves; they represent the victorious Christ. Every conversation, every act of kindness, every display of forgiveness, and every faithful proclamation of the gospel becomes part of God's ongoing work of drawing people to Himself. Throughout this chapter, the character of the Son of God is consistently displayed. He is compassionate toward the repentant, faithful in His mission, victorious over sin, and worthy of wholehearted devotion. His redemptive plan transforms broken people into forgiven children of God who now become ambassadors of His grace. For believers today, this chapter calls us to pursue restoration wherever repentance is found. Christian living requires both courage to confront sin and humility to forgive those whom the Christ has forgiven. We are reminded that bitterness has no place in the heart of a follower of Jesus and that forgiveness reflects the very character of the Son of God. As we walk in grace, uphold truth, and faithfully represent the Christ in every area of life, we become the fragrance of His presence in a world desperately in need of His redeeming love. #DailyBibleReading #OpenYourBible #StudyTheWord #ScriptureForToday #FaithJourney #GodsWord #BibleTime #WalkWithGod

📌 Today's Readings are from the Book of 1 Kings 3–4 | 1 Corinthians 15📌 👇 Overviews Are Below (PLEASE READ YOUR BIBLE: Overviews Do Not Replace Daily Reading) 👇 1 Kings 3 A Heart That Seeks God’s Wisdom 1 Kings 3 records the early days of Solomon’s reign and reveals both the promise and the potential danger surrounding his leadership. Solomon loves the Lord and follows the godly example of David, yet the chapter also introduces areas of compromise that will later become more serious. His marriage alliance with Pharaoh’s daughter and his participation in worship at the high places reveal that his devotion, though sincere, is not yet completely undivided. Solomon travels to Gibeon to offer sacrifices, and there the Lord appears to him in a dream. God invites Solomon to ask for what he desires. This moment exposes the heart of the young king. Solomon could have requested wealth, military strength, political influence, or a long life, but instead he asks for wisdom and discernment to govern God’s people. Solomon recognizes that leadership is greater than his natural ability. He understands that Israel belongs to God and that he cannot fulfill his calling without divine help. His request reflects humility, dependence, and a desire to serve rather than merely be served. God is pleased with Solomon’s request. Because he asks for wisdom rather than selfish gain, the Lord grants him exceptional understanding and also provides blessings he did not request. Yet God reminds him that continued blessing is connected to faithful obedience. Wisdom is not merely the ability to understand difficult situations; it is the ability to walk according to the truth of God. The well-known case involving two women and one living child becomes the first public demonstration of Solomon’s God-given wisdom. The situation appears impossible because there are no witnesses and no clear evidence. Solomon reveals the truth by exposing the heart of the real mother. His judgment shows that divine wisdom sees beyond outward words and discerns the motives within. The people recognize that Solomon’s wisdom has come from God. His authority is strengthened not simply because he possesses the throne, but because the Lord has equipped him to administer justice. This establishes an important principle for the entire book: leadership succeeds when it remains dependent upon God. Theologically, 1 Kings 3 reveals that true wisdom begins with humility and dependence upon the Lord. Solomon’s greatest strength is not his education, position, or natural intelligence, but his recognition that he needs God. The chapter also warns that spiritual compromise can exist alongside genuine devotion. Small areas of disobedience, when left unaddressed, can eventually weaken even a gifted servant of God. This chapter points to Christ, who is greater than Solomon. Solomon received wisdom from God, but Jesus is the wisdom of God revealed to humanity. Solomon could discern the hearts of those standing before him, but Christ knows every human heart perfectly. Jesus is the righteous Judge who never makes an error, never acts from selfish motives, and always rules according to truth. For believers today, 1 Kings 3 reminds us that we need more than information, talent, or experience. We need wisdom from God to make decisions, lead others, manage responsibilities, and respond to difficult situations. The Lord invites us to ask in faith, but we must also remain obedient to what He reveals. In Christ, we have access to the wisdom necessary for godly living, and through the Holy Spirit, we are equipped to walk with discernment, humility, and truth. 1 Kings 4 The Peace and Prosperity of Solomon’s Kingdom 1 Kings 4 presents the organization, prosperity, and influence of Solomon’s kingdom. After the uncertainty surrounding David’s final years and the transition of leadership, Israel now experiences stability. Solomon appoints officials, establishes administrative order, and creates a structure capable of governing the growing nation. The detailed record of Solomon’s leaders and governors may appear administrative, but it reveals an important spiritual principle. God is a God of order. The blessings of the kingdom are not managed carelessly. Responsibilities are distributed, capable people are appointed, and practical systems are established to support the work. Solomon’s reign extends over a large territory, and surrounding nations bring tribute. Israel enjoys peace on every side, and the people live securely. The description of each family dwelling safely under its own vine and fig tree communicates stability, provision, and freedom from fear. This season represents a partial fulfillment of the promises God made to Abraham. The people have multiplied, the land has been established, and the nation has become a blessing and testimony among surrounding kingdoms. What God promised generations earlier is now visibly unfolding. The prosperity of Israel is directly connected to God’s covenant faithfulness. Solomon did not create the nation’s blessings from nothing. He inherited the results of God’s promises, David’s victories, and the sacrifices of previous generations. The kingdom flourishes because God has been working throughout Israel’s history to accomplish His redemptive purpose. The chapter also emphasizes Solomon’s extraordinary wisdom. His understanding extends across many areas of life, and people travel from distant nations to hear him. His wisdom becomes an instrument through which the glory of Israel’s God is made known beyond the borders of the nation. Yet the abundance described in this chapter also carries a quiet warning. Prosperity can become spiritually dangerous when people begin enjoying God’s blessings without remaining devoted to the God who provided them. The kingdom is strong outwardly, but its future will depend upon whether Solomon and the people continue walking faithfully with the Lord. Theologically, 1 Kings 4 reveals God as the source of order, peace, provision, and wisdom. The chapter demonstrates that God fulfills His promises across generations. It also shows that leadership involves faithful stewardship. Blessings must be organized, managed, and used according to God’s purposes. This chapter points to Christ and His coming kingdom. Solomon’s reign brought temporary peace and prosperity, but Jesus will establish perfect and everlasting peace. Solomon governed a great earthly territory, but Christ will reign over every nation. People traveled from distant lands to hear Solomon’s wisdom, but one greater than Solomon has come, offering eternal truth and salvation to the whole world. For believers today, 1 Kings 4 reminds us to recognize God as the source of every blessing. Seasons of peace, growth, and provision should lead us to gratitude rather than complacency. We are called to manage faithfully what God has entrusted to us, build with wisdom, and use our influence for His glory. In Christ, we belong to an eternal kingdom where righteousness, peace, and abundance will never end. 1 Corinthians 15 — The Resurrection of the Christ and the Believer’s Victory 1 Corinthians chapter 15 stands as one of the most important chapters in the New Testament, focusing on the resurrection of the Christ, the Son of God. Everything in the redemptive plan rests upon this truth. If the Christ has not risen, faith is empty and hope is lost. But because He has risen, salvation is secure, death is defeated, and eternal life is certain. The chapter begins by returning to the foundation of the gospel. The message that was preached, received, and believed centers on the death, burial, and resurrection of the Christ. These are not isolated events but the heart of God’s redemptive plan. The Son of God fulfilled what was promised, accomplishing salvation through His sacrifice and proving His victory through His resurrection. A strong emphasis is placed on the reality of the resurrection. The Christ did not merely survive in memory or influence; He physically rose from the dead. Many witnessed Him alive after His resurrection, confirming that this event is historical, visible, and foundational. Christian living is built upon this truth. The resurrection is not an addition to the gospel—it is essential to it. The chapter then addresses the consequences of denying the resurrection. If there is no resurrection, there is no victory over sin, no future hope, and no assurance of eternal life. But the redemptive plan does not rest on uncertainty. The Son of God has risen, and His resurrection guarantees the future resurrection of those who belong to Him. The Christ is presented as the firstfruits of a coming harvest. Just as death entered through humanity, resurrection life comes through the Son of God. His victory is not isolated; it extends to all who trust in Him. This reveals the scope of the redemptive plan. The Christ not only forgives sin but reverses the curse of death itself. The chapter also describes the future fulfillment of God’s purposes. The Christ will ultimately reign over every enemy, and death itself will be defeated. This gives believers a perspective that extends beyond present circumstances. Christian living is rooted in the certainty that the Son of God is victorious and that His kingdom will be fully established. Attention is then given to the nature of the resurrection body. The future life promised through the Christ is not merely an extension of the present one. God will provide a glorified body suited for eternity. This demonstrates the completeness of the redemptive plan. The Son of God redeems not only the soul but the whole person. The chapter concludes with a triumphant declaration of victory. Because the Christ has conquered death, believers no longer face it with fear. The resurrection transforms the believer’s outlook, replacing uncertainty with confidence and despair with hope. Christian living is shaped by this reality. The work done for the Christ is never wasted because His victory guarantees an eternal outcome. 1 Corinthians 15 emphasizes the resurrection of the Christ as the foundation of faith, the assurance of salvation, and the promise of future glory. The Son of God has defeated death and secured eternal life for all who belong to Him. For believers today, this chapter calls us to stand firmly in the truth of the resurrection. Christian living is not built on wishful thinking but on the historical victory of the Christ. We are reminded that our hope is secure, our future is certain, and our labor for the Lord has eternal value. Because the Son of God lives, we can face every challenge with confidence, knowing that His redemptive plan will be completed and that His victory will one day be fully realized in us. #DailyBibleReading #OpenYourBible #StudyTheWord #ScriptureForToday #FaithJourney #GodsWord #BibleTime #WalkWithGod

Before you love anyone else, build a life you love. A woman complete in God doesn't search for someone to fill her — she overflows. THE TRUTH NO ONE TELLS YOU God never designed a woman to be half of something. He designed her to be whole — rooted, purposeful, and radiant — before any relationship ever enters the picture. The world whispers that a woman's story begins when she finds love. But Scripture tells a different story: she is already loved, already chosen, already enough. When a woman builds her own world first — her faith, her calling, her joy, her peace — she enters every relationship from a place of strength, not need. She doesn't cling. She doesn't shrink. She doesn't lose herself. She brings her full self to the table. "She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future." — Proverbs 31:25 That woman isn't laughing because she has the perfect relationship. She's laughing because she knows who she is, and she knows whose she is. WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE YOUR OWN WORLD A living faith — her identity is anchored in God, not in another person's opinion of her. A growing purpose — she knows what she is building: her gifts, her work, her mission. A nourished soul — she invests in friendships, rest, and the things that bring her alive. A clear direction — she makes decisions rooted in her values, not in fear of being alone. REAL WOMEN WHO BUILT THEIR WORLD FIRST Ruth — the woman who chose purpose over panic After losing her husband, Ruth could have gone back to her hometown, found another man quickly, and rebuilt her life around someone else. Instead, she chose loyalty, hard work, and integrity. She gleaned in the fields. She served her mother-in-law. She built a life of faithfulness day by day. Her wholeness attracted Boaz — he noticed her character long before he pursued her. She didn't chase love. Love found a woman who was already walking in purpose. Esther — the woman who knew who she was before her moment came Esther didn't become courageous the moment she was needed. She had spent years cultivating grace, wisdom, and a quiet strength that couldn't be manufactured under pressure. When the king held out his scepter, she was ready — not because she was in the right relationship, but because she had built the right character. She walked into the throne room alone and changed a nation. Mary — the woman content in ordinary faithfulness Before the angel appeared, Mary was simply a young woman living faithfully in Nazareth. No spotlight. No platform. Just quiet devotion and a willing heart. She wasn't waiting to be chosen to start living — she was already living well. Because she had cultivated a surrendered, rooted spirit, she could carry the weight of an extraordinary calling. WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE TODAY It looks like the woman who builds her career not to avoid loneliness, but because she genuinely loves what she does. It looks like the woman who travels, reads, creates, serves — and finds deep joy in it, whether anyone is watching or not. It looks like saying no to a relationship that would require her to become smaller. It looks like being genuinely happy at her own table, comfortable in her own company, at peace in her own silence. And when love comes — if it comes — it adds to a life that is already full. It doesn't complete her. It companions her. "God is within her, she will not fall." — Psalm 46:5 A woman who walks with God doesn't need someone else to hold her up. She is already held. So build your world, beloved. Tend your faith. Pursue your calling. Fill your life with meaning, with beauty, with good people and good work. Walk alone with your head high, and walk with someone with your soul intact. Either way — you are complete. --- Save this if you need the reminder. Tag a woman who needs to hear this today. --- 📝 This post is original content by Dolly Inspiration.

Ellen G. White As God has shown me the travels of the Advent people to the Holy City and the rich reward to be given those who wait the return of their Lord from the wedding, it may be my duty to give you a short sketch of what God has revealed to me. The dear saints have many trials to pass through. But our light afflictions, which are but for a moment, will work for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory—while we look not at the things which are seen, for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. I have tried to bring back a good report and a few grapes from the heavenly Canaan, for which many would stone me, as the congregation bade stone Caleb and Joshua for their report. (Numbers 14:10.) But I declare to you, my brethren and sisters in the Lord, it is a goodly land, and we are well able to go up and possess it. EW 13.3
