For the Lord knows and fully approves the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked shall perish. Psalm 1:6 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
How many times have we all cried out unto Jehovah when we are going through trials and tribulations: “ My Beloved, do You not see what is happening, do You not care?”
Jehovah see’s things from the beginning to the end. Even though we may falsely believe He does not see or does not care, He is there. Many times He is quietly working through these circumstances in ways we do not see until the time of woe is past. We can however always take comfort that He loves us and will never desert us.
Only God knows three things: the beginning of things, the reason for things and the end of things. A Welsh Proverb
On the other hand there are the fools who believe Jehovah either does not see their wickedness, does not are about it or is helpless to do anything about it. They will learn otherwise when He brings the hammer down strongly upon them.
Just remember that although we do not know, He always knows. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Immanuel (God is with us) that You are always with me through both the good times and the bad.
Thank you that You love me and care about me.
Thank you that even though I do not see it oh so many times You are working quietly behind the scenes for the good of this child of Yours that You love so dearly.
Thank you that You will provide proper retribution to the wicked for their deeds.
I praise You in the name of He who is always there for me Jesus Christ. Amen
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah

I like the Welsh proverb! 🙂
September 17, 2018 at 5:10 am
Me too. I like many old proverbs because they are simple yet true.
September 18, 2018 at 3:41 am
The same can be said about old hymns, too (“simple yet true”)! God is good.
September 18, 2018 at 3:52 am
I love the old hymns and prefer the old writers over todays.
September 20, 2018 at 3:36 am
Me too, when it comes to the words! The hymns were anchored in good theology!
September 20, 2018 at 5:22 am
Hymns were also deeply rooted in deep faith through extremely difficult calamities which makes them personal even after hundreds of years.
September 22, 2018 at 11:54 am
So very true! Much like the book of Psalms, in a way.
How are you, Joseph?
September 22, 2018 at 12:28 pm
I like some of the Psalms that were made into hymns.
September 22, 2018 at 12:30 pm
I am very fine thank you. Because it was so hot this summer and there have been so few bee’s and butterflies many crops were not pollinated. Once it has cooled down our crops have taken off like gang busters. It would be nice if it did not freeze until the middle of October.
How are things going with you? How is your dad? How is the job search going?
September 23, 2018 at 1:00 am
Very true. 🙂 I hope you are well, Joseph!

Hi Joseph! I am having some technology issues over here. I tried responding to your comment a little while ago, and then my Internet connection went out. This is my second time – hopefully this message goes through.
Should I be praying that the frost holds off until mid October? I would be glad to add that to my prayer for you, my friend.
I am well – thank you for asking. Still working part time, and loving what I do. 🙂
September 25, 2018 at 12:13 pm
Thank you for the offer but it would be okay for it to freeze anytime now because most of the crops are done, with the cool weather all the pollinators came out and the crops came on like gangbusters. .
It is good you are working and finding satisfaction in your vocation.
September 27, 2018 at 12:35 am
I’m glad to hear that you had a bountiful harvest. I wasn’t sure if the freeze was a good thing or a bad thing, but it sounds like you’ll be able to deal with it either way.
Yes, I am working on a contract basis through the end of the year. God has been faithful! If the contract is to be extended, then that is up to the Lord!
September 27, 2018 at 5:21 am
I have found that contract are better than working for a daily wage. When you excel at the assigned work it leads to higher income.
I will pray for you.
September 29, 2018 at 2:42 am
Thanks for this encouragement, Joseph! I had not looked at my situation from that perspective before. I also appreciate your prayers. Is there any way that I may be praying for you?
September 29, 2018 at 5:17 am
You are welcome.
If you like would please pray that my left ear is unblocked. It seems as if there is something there that is blocking my hearing like ear wax but there does not seem to be anything there.
September 30, 2018 at 2:35 pm
I will pray on that now, Joseph, and will keep this on my prayer list until you share another update! ✝️
September 30, 2018 at 7:20 pm
Thank you
October 3, 2018 at 2:37 am
You are quite welcome!
October 5, 2018 at 1:38 pm
Yes thank you.
How is your dad?
October 7, 2018 at 1:49 am
Thanks for asking, Joseph! Last I heard from him, he was continuing to recover well.
Still praying on your ear issue, by the way. I hope that you are beginning to feel some better!
October 7, 2018 at 5:16 am
Glad to hear your dad is recovering.
The ear is not bothering me, it is just blocked. Thank you for your prayers.
October 8, 2018 at 11:32 am
Okay, I will continue to pray on this. I suppose I just assumed that if your ear was blocked it would be a concern to you, but clearly that is not the case!
