#DailyDevotion The LORD Jesus' Goodness & Mercy Are Forever

#DailyDevotion The LORD Jesus' Goodness & Mercy Are Forever Psalm 107 23Those who go down to sail the sea in ships, who do their business on the high seas, 24saw what the LORD can do and His wonders in the deep waters. 25He spoke and raised a storm and made its waves dash high. 26Men went up to the heights and down to the depths; the disaster melted their courage; 27reeling and staggering like drunkards, all their skills became useless. 28Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distress. 29He made the storm calm down, and the waves around them were still. 30They were glad it was quiet. So He brought them to the haven they longed for. 31Let them thank the LORD for His goodness, for doing wonderful things for men. 32Let them glorify Him in the congregation of the people, and praise Him where elders sit. Is this referring to something in Israel's past? The only thing I can think of is Jonah, who when thrown overboard to die stilled the waters. Perhaps the psalmist is prophetically seeing Jesus with His disciples on the sea of Galilee. They indeed heard and saw what the LORD Jesus Christ can do. They were in a great panic while Jesus slept. When they woke Him to have Him help bail, He commanded the wind and the waves to be still and cease. Everything calmed down around them at that moment. They glorified and worshiped Jesus. We are called to join them in their hymn of praise for all His goodness and the wonderful things He has done. 33He changes rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground, 34and fertile ground into a salt flat because the people living there are wicked. 35He changes the desert into pools of water and dry ground into springs of water. 36There He settles those who are hungry and they build towns to live in. 37Then they sow fields and plant vineyards that produce a crop. 38He blesses them; they get to be very many, and He doesn't let them lose any cattle. We recall during the time of Elijah when he commanded by the word of the LORD there would be no rain. All Israel was in a severe drought for three years because of all their wickedness following Ahab and Jezebel. Then the LORD commanded through the prophet for it to rain and it all was restored again. The people rejoiced in the LORD, their God and Savior. The LORD brought the people of Judah out of Babylon for them to settle the land once again. He gave them towns and cities in which to dwell in. He blessed them with many good things. We look forward to inheriting the New Heavens and New Earth when our LORD Jesus Christ returns. He will settle us in this place He has prepared for us. In that place we will plant and receive the harvest at the proper time. All things will work together for our good in that place and wickedness and iniquity will not be found there anymore. 39Their numbers had become few and they sank down under oppression, disaster, and grief. 40He had poured contempt on their noblemen and had made them wander in a pathless wilderness. 41But now He lifts the poor from misery and makes their families like a flock. 42The righteous are glad to see it, and all wickedness shuts its mouth. 43Are you wise? Then watch for these things and see for yourself the goodness of the LORD. The LORD brought the few Jews when they were brought into exile in Babylon. Their nobles who led them into idolatry and wickedness were brought low. Yet, the LORD at the appointed time lifted them up and brought them back into the land and made them numerous again. Those who trusted in the LORD were glad to see it. The LORD Jesus now blesses His Church and causes its increase. We look to the signs of His return so we may see the goodness of the LORD Jesus Christ in the Land of the Living, the New Jerusalem. Merciful God and Father, bring us at last into that good land You have promised us in Christ Jesus so we may eternally sing of Your goodness and mercy. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Anyone who needs to hear this, I want you know that I'm holding your hand as you go through this.

It was really hard.

I know these days it's easy to reject Wizard School content, but I remember what it was like back then.

And it was really hard, at first.

When She Who Shall Not Be Named first started saying questionable things years ago, fans clung to the idea that she was misguided, or perhaps unaware of harmful biases. In other words, fans were in denial.

Part of this was due to how long "The World's Favorite Children's Author" had been in the public eye without issue. By 2018, Wizard-mania had transformed into a safe and reliable comfort blanket for a generation... so the fans could not reconcile their source of safety with hateful ideology.

So many fans and fan groups flooded her Twitter comments and mentions, desperately trying to make her understand why she was wrong... but we all know what happened next.

The thing is, not everyone was ready to jump off the nostalgia train at this first sign of bullshit behavior. The Fandom broke off piece by piece after each idiotic Tweet when room for denial got smaller and smaller. And the people off the train would revisit the source content and realize, "Hey maybe this was never worth all the hype". So then they'd yell up at people still on the train like, "You're an idiot for supporting this stupid series and its awful creator!" So then people on the train got offended and started defending the series and the creator and next thing you know the train is full of bigots and the community you once loved is gone.

It's scary to jump off the train— you don't know where or how you'll land but you do know it will hurt. (That's okay, by the way. You're allowed to hurt. You didn't do anything wrong here, you're allowed to be sad.) But I'm telling you from experience, you have to make that jump. If you never jump you'll eventually find yourself surrounded by people you hate wondering how you got here. So take that leap!

You won't be jumping alone, either. So many of us will be right there with you, and here's the secret... the creators don't build the Fandom trains. We do. The community doesn't die with the creator, it changes shape and name and function. You might find yourself jumping from one train to another, and that's the wonderfulthing about fandoms. It might not feel fine today, or even tomorrow, but it will one day. And the most important thing is making the choice that you will be most proud of 5, 10 years down the line.

Who knows? Maybe one day we'll be able to safely board this train again.

harry potter fans help what did you do when you realized the creator of your fandom was an asshole

I do not understand people, I don't understand myself either. I'm stuck in this glass box, staring, observing.. Sometimes crying and screaming, I am there but I don't feel like I am. I want to help but I don't know where to start.. Every little thing can drag me into an spiral of thoughts, Are you mad? Are you sad? angry? happy? I feel useless and I spend long nights and days staring at my ceiling. I can't talk, my tongue won't move. I can't look at you, I feel off. I don't know what to do, so, I don't do anything at all.

‏‎تُعد أحد أهم القطع الأثرية التي عُثر عليها داخل مقبرة الملك توت عنخ آمون. عبارة عن رأس من الخشب يُمثل الملك في هيئة المعبو�� نفرتوم. عُرفت القطعة برأس اللوتس لكونها تعلو زهرة لوتس زرقاء. وحيث أن الزهور تتفتح عند شروق الشمس وتُغلق عند غروبها، فقد ارتبطت بعملية الولادة من جديد، لذا كان هذا الرأس رمزًا لإعادة إحياء وولادة الملك. #١٠٠_عام_توت_عنخ_آمون #آثار_رائعة One of the most beloved objects found in Tutankhamun’s tomb is the wooden head representing him as the god Nefertem, an incarnation of the sun god at dawn. It depicts a young Tutankhamun as per the artistic conventions of the Amarna period, with wide elongated eyes, arched eyebrows, and full lips. The head is perched on top of a blooming blue lotus deriving from a dark blue painted base. As the flowers were known to open at sunrise and close at sundown, the ancient Egyptians associated them with rebirth. Therefore, the whole piece was a symbol of rebirth and resurrection for Tutankhamun. #100yearsTutankhamun #WonderfulThings‎‏ (في ‏‎Egypt‎‏) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkjhAm8rjsu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you´ve ever felt like dying...

Life is not a gift given to you. You are the gift. And your task of being this gift is to make this world a better place; to touch other souls and make them happy; to enjoy every single moment, every morning light, every evening breeze; to discover new thing and to try new food, just to find out that it tastes horrible but still being happy of having at least tried it. Life is so much more, than just existing - it´s feeling. It´s an emotional rollercoaster, sometimes everything is falling down, but in the next time it is taking you higher than you´ve ever been. Life is precious and so are you.

‏‎صُممت المرآة على شكل علامة عنخ، حيث كانت "عنخ" تعني أيضًا مرآة. زُينت العلبة في منتصفها بالزجاج الملون والأحجار الكريمة، بلقب العرش للملك توت عنخ آمون. يحيط باللقب من كلا الجانبين حيتا كوبرا، يعلو رأس كل منهما قرص الشمس. #١٠٠_عام_توت_عنخ_آمون #آثار_رائعة This elaborate mirror case was carved in the shape of an ankh and was intended as a visual pun. The word for mirror in ancient Egyptian was also ankh, the sign for life. The case is decorated with king Tut’s throne name, flanked by two cobras on each side, using colored glass and precious stone. #100yearsTutankhamun #WonderfulThings‎‏ (في ‏‎Egypt‎‏) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckjg8Qhri3W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
