These photos I shot this morning over Stopsley
fields in Luton.
Yesterday, we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today, we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love. Khahil Gibran.
Above and below is the art and inspiration, which I painted and took photos of yesterday and today. Please enjoy.
Look In the bottom right hand 1/8th of
above photo to see in detail below. Are
they people falling through the air, or
just specks of paint in the imagination!
Above. It seems that yellow is the colour winning out so far. So sunny.
Quench not the Spirit. 1Thess. 5:19
Quench not the Spirit
The voice of the Spirit is as gentle as a zephyr, so gentle that unless you are living in perfect communion with God, you never hear it. The checks of the Spirit come in the most extraordinary gentle ways, and if you are not sensitive enough to detect His voice you will quench it, and your personal spiritual life will be impaired. His checks always come as a still small voice, so small that no one but the saint notices them.
Beware if in personal testimony you have to hark back and say - `Once, so many years ago, I was saved.` If you are walking in the light, there is no harking back, the past is transfuse into the present wonder of communion with God. If you get out of the light you become a sentimental Christian and live on memories, your testimony has a hard, metallic note. Beware of trying to patch up a present refusal to walk in the light by recalling past experiences when you did walk in the light. Whenever the Spirit checks, call a halt and get the thin right, or you will go on grieving Him without knowing it.
Suppose God has brought you up to a crisis and you nearly go through but not quite, He will engineer the crisis again, but it will not be so keen as it was before. There will be less discernment of God and more humiliation at not having obeyed; and if you go on grieving the Spirit, there will come a time when that crisis cannot be repeated, you have grieved Him away. But if you go through the crisis, the will be the pain of praise to God. Never sympathise with the thing that is stabbing God all the time. God has to hurt the thing that must go.
Well my brothers and sisters, I am sharing the above writing by Oswald Chambers, as it is appropriate
knowledge for this time in my life's journey. I felt that one or two of you who purvey my blogs are also at the right time to make use of all which helps us keep mostly focused on the present. Here is some more of my artwork. To just enjoy, or even enlighten our hearts.
Well I must go here, as there were more photos of my latest painting which I wanted to share with you, but alas the blog wont accept any more. I shall post a Photo Supplement.
Peace and love to you and all beings.
Peter.
