76:5.6 The supermaterial government of Urantia, under the direction of the Melchizedeks, continued, but direct physical contact with the evolutionary races had been severed. From the distant days of the arrival of the corporeal staff of the Planetary Prince, down through the times of Van and Amadon to the arrival of Adam and Eve, physical representatives of the universe government had been stationed on the planet. But with the Adamic default this regime, extending over a period of more than four hundred and fifty thousand years, came to an end. In the spiritual spheres, angelic helpers continued to struggle in conjunction with the Thought Adjusters, both working heroically for the salvage of the individual; but no comprehensive plan for far-reaching world welfare was promulgated to the mortals of earth until the arrival of Machiventa Melchizedek, in the times of Abraham, who, with the power, patience, and authority of a Son of God, did lay the foundations for the further uplift and spiritual rehabilitation of unfortunate Urantia.

Direction

Continues cold, it’s wintertime.

Inside my home, I write my rhymes.

I love to write, and then express

The thoughts that fill me, and give me rest.

I want to be in touch inside.

We’re taught that’s where our God resides.

Joining us in all our ventures.

Get close to Him, don’t be a stranger.

God’s a friend to those who try.

He helps us live, shows how to die.

He assures us we’ll exist.

Death won’t take us off His list.

To live a life based on that Faith,

Will open Heaven and its gates.

Love will guide you to the top.

You’ll see then, things just never stop!

Let Faith be your scaffolding.

Decisions based on Faith will bring

Direction to your lifelong path.

Let Faith be your sails and mast.

Let love control direction’s wheel

And turn towards God, He’s your best deal.

Courageous Faith can help you heal

From anything that’s truly real.

Thank You, Father, for all we have.

Your Book has shown us our true past.

Understanding where we’ve been,

Help fill our gaps, fills us within.

htt81:3.7 The traveling trader and the roving explorer did more to advance historic civilization than all other influences combined. Military conquests, colonization, and missionary enterprises fostered by the later religions were also factors in the spread of culture; but these were all secondary to the trading relations, which were ever accelerated by the rapidly developing arts and sciences of industry.

Advance the World

The cold has come, a -12.

But that’s outside, not where we dwell.

We’re inside, out of the cold.

We’ve learned to keep our temps controlled.

We stay inside where we have built

Structures that do suit our ilk.

They keep the cold away from us.

They truly have become robust!

We talk of building on the moon.

The cost of which I’m sure will zoom!

The know how’s there, I have no doubt.

But do we choose the proper route?

We need to choose how we do use

And make the choice to not abuse

This world on which we all do live.

We need to learn more, how to give.

We need to raise humanity up—

Slowly, as to not disrupt

What we have already built.

We cannot lose what You have willed.

Spiritually we must advance!

Accept what’s true, not blind romance.

Let the Truth be guiding us.

The Spirit within us we must trust.

Thank You, Father, help us see

The world as one – more Spiritually.

More gadgets aren’t the way to peace.

We need more Spiritual expertise.

Paul Anderson

103:3.4 Remember that in the religion of all ages the experience which is paramount is the feeling regarding moral values and social meanings, not the thinking regarding theologic dogmas or philosophic theories. Religion evolves favorably as the element of magic is replaced by the concept of morals.

Change

Bitter cold is on the way

And it will stay for several days.

Zero and the single digits

Cold is measured by our physics.

To document our current temps

We must have measure instruments.

We’ve invented ways to see

The temp observed comparatively.

We know the temp when water freezes

When it boils, and releases

Vapors into all the air.

Of these temps we are aware.

We divide the temps between

Water in it’s two extremes.

Centigrade divides to 100.

Fahrenheit is a conundrum.

We’ve only had these scales of temp

Since the 1780s, then did we invent

The Fahrenheit scale, so since that time

Temperature records could be in line.

Our temperature records before then

Are not in line with what has been.

We can’t be sure of accuracy

Only temp changes generally.

Thank You, Father, for times invention.

I know it flows by Your intention.

We all exist within its flow.

We live the now, where change is slow.

144:4.6 Prayer is an antidote for harmful introspection. At least, prayer as the Master taught it is such a beneficent ministry to the soul. Jesus consistently employed the beneficial influence of praying for one’s fellows. The Master usually prayed in the plural, not in the singular. Only in the great crises of hi

Self-Inspection

The snow fell, continues falling.

The cars I see are all just crawling.

Blowing snow makes vision hard.

I can’t see across my yard.

I am prepared to stay at home.

There is no need for me to roam.

I got things done, now home is fun.

No need to hurry or to run.

There’s beauty in the blanket white.

It covers ugly from our sight.

White extends in all directions.

What a time for introspection!

A day to do exactly that.

I need less calories, that’s a fact!

Improving self will rule my day.

Strive to find a better way.

Lost within my own thinking.

Find my soul, that is me ticking.

To be whom I find deep within.

I’m not too good at staying thin!

Better with accepting self

And dealing with the cards I’m dealt.

Improving and adapting, too.

Life improves by what we do.

Thank you, Father, honesty

Begins within, begins with Ye.

You know exactly who I am.

You’re with my soul, and understand.

102:2.4 Time is an invariable element in the attainment of knowledge; religion makes its endowments immediately available, albeit there is the important factor of growth in grace, definite advancement in all phases of religious experience. Knowledge is an eternal quest; always are you learning, but never are you able to arrive at the full knowledge of absolute truth. In knowledge alone there can never be absolute certainty, only increasing probability of approximation; but the religious soul of spiritual illumination knows, and knows now.And yet this profound and positive certitude does not lead such a sound-minded religionist to take any less interest in the ups and downs of the progress of human wisdom, which is bound up on its material end with the developments of slow-moving science.

Our Quest

A calmer day before the storm.

The snow that’s coming starts to form.

It will snow and blow in waves,

But it won’t come for another day.

We have time to be prepared

And estimates have been declared

Of what the storm will bring to us.

We know it’s winds will be robust.

The snow and wind come with the cold.

But we are safe within our folds.

We have built homes weatherproof.

We’re on a quest to find the truth.

We know the weather before it comes.

We do predict where it comes from.

we measure pressures in the air.

We see the changes, were made aware.

Science helps us all predict

Where the snow is going to stick.

We know when roads might get too slick

To safely drive on, we must pick.

Get things done before the storm.

Stay at home when snow does form.

Be prepared to be snowed in.

Relax your soul, relax within.

Thank You, Father, keep us safe

From the storm winds of our fate.

Help us find good things to do.

Help us on our quest for Truth.

Always note that we are here to spread love, peace and unity not hatred

12:7.12 It is a mystery that God is a highly personal self-conscious being with residential headquarters, and at the same time personally present in such a vast universe and personally in contact with such a well-nigh infinite number of beings. That such a phenomenon is a mystery beyond human comprehension should not in the least lessen your faith. Do not allow the magnitude of the infinity, the immensity of the eternity, and the grandeur and glory of the matchless character of God to overawe, stagger, or discourage you; for the Father is not very far from any one of you; he dwells within you, and in him do we all literally move, actually live, and veritably have our being.

Life Within

It’s cold but bright, the sun is out.

The sky is blue upon my route.

An active day with lots to do.

Spread the love that comes from You.

If every day we spread some Love,

In the long run we’ll evolve.

Love is catching more than hate.

Love’s a wildfire, we’re just late.

Let Love rule the things we do.

All ahead, comes right through you.

Let Love hammer up your Truth.

This Spirit of God can introduce.

Look for God within your soul.

The Kingdom within you’ll behold.

Increasingly you’ll see what’s real.

God is the way; His way does heal.

Find the best way up ahead.

Look inside, you will be led.

Behold the Truth lies deep within

And knows the way we all have been.

It knows your secrets you don’t share.

Forgiveness springs as you’re aware.

To change the way you see the world,

The flag within your soul unfurls.

Thank You, Father, You’ve unleashed

A soul within that strives for peace.

Peace within yields peace without.

A life within turns me about.

111:7.1 Uncertainty with security is the essence of the Paradise adventure – uncertainty in time and in mind, uncertainty as to the events of the unfolding Paradise ascent; security in spirit and in eternity, security in the unqualified trust of the creature son in the divine compassion and infinite love of the Universal Father; uncertainty as an inexperienced citizen of the universe; security as an ascending son in the universe mansions of an all-powerful, all-wise, and all-loving Father.

This Year I Cheer

A blanket white does greet the morn.

A crown of white upon the corn.

Finally snow that we can see.

It glistens white upon the trees.

It wasn’t white at Christmas time,

But now the beauty seems Divine.

The white of freshly fallen snow

Paints a picture that does glow.

It shines no matter what the light.

Even with the moon at night.

But as the flow of time goes by

Dust and dirt make whiteness die.

It can become a dirty mess.

For just one day, we’re beauty blessed.

After that the dust and dirt

Truly change the way it looks.

As the Winter goes along

A freeze exists upon our lawns.

Where the ground does freeze the dirt,

It stays in place and cannot flirt.

As long as ground stays truly frozen,

It can’t make a white intrusion.

A mess occurs though, when it melts.

A muddy mess is what we’re dealt.

Thank You, Father, Winter’s here.

There’s beauty here that I hold dear.

It’s truly been a warmer year.

We will adapt, this year I cheer.

13:4.5 The determiner of the differential of spiritual presence exists in your own hearts and minds and consists in the manner of your own choosing, in the decisions of your minds, and in the determination of your own wills. This differential is inherent in the freewill reactions of intelligent personal beings, beings whom the Universal Father has ordained shall exercise this liberty of choosing. And the Deities are ever true to the ebb and flow of their spirits in meeting and satisfying the conditions and demands of this differential of creature choice, now bestowing more of their presence in response to a sincere desire for the same and again withdrawing themselves from the scene as their creatures decide adversely in the exercise of their divinely bestowed freedom of choice. And thus does the spirit of divinity become humbly obedient to the choosing of the creatures of the realms.

Decide To Live

The weekend’s here and it may snow.

But it won’t stick, the winds won’t blow.

The temp is on the cusp of freeze.

A damp cold rain is what will be.

But if the snow falls from the sky

It won’t change what I do try.

I’ll find ways to get to where

I need to go, yes, I’ll be there.

To go in winter is well known.

Throughout my life the snow has blown.

Caution when the road is slick

Keeps us going, though snow is thick.

Through the drifts of snow in Life

One needs to shovel as they drive.

We need to use the tools we have.

Our trials through life are not that bad.

Faith within yourself works best.

Within yourself there’s Holiness.

Something lives within your soul.

Let it lead you to your goal.

A Spirit life is what we need.

We need more love and far less greed.

Cutting down what others do

Is not a skill that leads to Truth.

Thank You, Father, for teaching me

How to look inside for Ye.

The Spirit moves for my decision.

I must decide, to live’s a passion.

Psalms 33:10-11, NKJV.

The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.

May all the plans of the nations and people against us come to nothing in this year and others to come. For many are the wicked plans some nations and people are busy laying down against us but our God is watching over us and He will bring them to no effect in Jesus' name.

Have a blessed weekend as you and me always seek the counsel and guidance of the almighty God in everything we do. For God has good plans for us and our children from generation to generation and He will make His plans come true for us in Jesus' name. Have a blessed Friday.
