...on a slightly lighter note...
This is a little tune I recently wrote for my wife ...no heavy or serious theological message, just a simple human sentiment expressed in a quasi-reggae style.

hey all of you again, (i just posting here because its recent, like a chitchat) i was looking at this passage today, Psalm 91, for the purposes of sharing it to another, who had been feeling down, i feel like 91 is one that many might go to, in troubles...its the first one i think of. let me explain why that is, and why i personally feel like it's special, to me: this passage is what i heard being quoted to me, the first time i saw an angel (who i believe is my guardian angel). the angel was quoting it in response to me fumble-scream-praying about "angels charge over thee" during an abduction experience. it was God/the angel who saved me from those devilish/alien-like creatures, a long time ago (not too long ago...but not recent). i've probably mentioned it somewhere here but idk where that testimony is. it was a while after recognising the difference between satans bibles and God's bible, and it was not long after that, that i think God adopted me. who knows the order. ..and those evil things did not like me coming to faith and tried everything to keep me in the "NKJV" bible, or to disturb my studying of the 1611, it was very difficult to find information between 1611 and 1769 at the time. it felt like they were trying to steal my soul that night, it felt very physical even, i wont go into more of those details, but God and his angel blew them away in a massive wind of his words (literally. the whole room was filled with God's words from psalm 91 like an underwater propellor, or some kinda turbine engine, or a train, and the angel had a massive sword, which was also the Word somehow, and he both swung his sword at the devils every time he spoke a verse, and also it was read from the bible, at the same time - difficult to explain the visuals. the sword and the spoken words was the same). so i feel like its a very powerful protective passage, and it was demonstrated to me that time ago, how God's words are powerful, and quite literally make waves in the spiritual-realm. so i've had it put into my mind after that, to use/say/believe God's word (and his name) because it's protective, if ever there is trouble at all (honestly, it's like a reflex now. FATHER! lol), and to stand on his words always (i know i aint right, but i know God is, and that's-that, even if i dont understand it) ...and anyways, after reading psalm 91 tonight again, i thought, "oh, i had not compared this passage, with the incorrect 1769 passage, before"... for i sometimes like to compare, to see, what was edited and changed, by mr Benjamin Blayney, and ponder the purposes of what those changes might have been, or even marvel at them. and i did find a difference, 1769 edit says "Only", instead of 1611 "Onely". Which made me pause and think, and then this verse came to me , matthew 6:22, as i was reading, so, i'm sharing it here: Matthew 6:22 1611 The light of the body is the eye: If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shalbe full of light. its probably because "one"+"single". im probably thinking into this too much, yet it came so simply, so, still i will share --- Psalms 91 (1611) 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high: shall abide vnder the shadow of the Almightie. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge, and my fortresse: my God, in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliuer thee from the snare of the fouler: and from the noisome pestilence. 4 Hee shall couer thee with his feathers, and vnder his wings shalt thou trust: his trueth shall bee thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not bee afraid for the terrour by night: nor for the arrow that flieth by day: 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darknes: nor for the destruction, that wasteth at noone-day. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Onely with thine eyes shalt thou behold: & see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, euen the most High, thy habitation: 10 There shall no euill befall thee: neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For hee shall giue his Angels charge ouer thee: to keepe thee in all thy wayes. 12 They shall beare thee vp in their hands: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread vpon the Lion, and adder: the yong Lion and the dragon shalt thou trample vnder feete. 14 Because he hath set his loue vpon me, therefore will I deliuer him: I wil set him on high, because hee hath knowen my Name. 15 He shall call vpon me, and I will answere him: I will bee with him in trouble, I will deliuer him, and honour him. 16 With long life wil I satisfie him: and shew him my saluation. ... Psalms 91 (1769 version) 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. thats all for now!
i understand that "onely" can be the way that the whole 1611 spells only (it's "only" in the 1769), but after that verse was quietly given to me, i do think it's supposed to be that way, and to be taken that way. atleast, im very happy to have a little gem like that
(unrelated) im keeping an eye on this New York, 2024 Summit of the Future 20-21 September — Action Days 22-23 September — Summit "Adoption of the outcome document entitled “A Pact for the Future”, agreed in advance by consensus through intergovernmental negotiations, to which the Global Digital Compact and Declaration on Future Generations would be annexed if intergovernmentally agreed." "Enhancing multilateralism for international peace and security 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Trusteeship Council Chamber"
This seems like it would pair nicely with a picturesque sunset.
Give it a try. What's the worst that can happen? My wife is pretty hard to surprise or get excited. She appreciates it, but is not very vocal about it.
1 Corinthians 7:33 "But hee that is maried, careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife."
That was awesome. Man . . . you are making me think I need to write me wife a song. But she would probably ask me what was wrong and if I was feeling OK :)
