Today is Day 1 of zero meds.

I had been weaning myself off the BP and cholesterol meds for months after reading non-propagandist doctors' assessments & research.

I know in my heart (literally) what the truth is - the pharma and medical communities have been moving the goalposts. The *ideal* numbers for BP and cholesterol have been lowered year after year to keep us chained to their profit margins, which keep us sick and dying.

I will admit if I'm wrong, and I told my doctor as much. But as of today, my BP is 119/69 with a pulse of 62 BP. My cholesterol (last time it was checked was 170 (combined LDL/HDL) while on a 10m statin (lowering from the 40mg they put me on in the hospital in January). They also kept insisting I get a covid shot because it proved "helpful in stroke patients," said the nurse in a hijab.

My response?

"So you want to give me the *clot shot* while I'm recovering from a clot-induced TBI? Show me the studies."

She merely said I wouldn't understand because it was all in "medical terminology".

Anyway, my next blood test will be in December.

Y'all can hold me accountable, if you'd like.

CHRONOLOGICAL YEAR THROUGH THE BIBLE
with Daily Grace
(Note: you can find this daily Bible reading on Youversion dot com)

Also: before you begin reading, pause for a moment to pray that God will help you know Him more today than yesterday. As you read today’s chapters, consider these questions:

1. What attributes of God’s character are revealed in the passage?

Consider places where the text directly states the character of God, as well as how His character is revealed through His words and actions.

2. How does the passage point to Jesus?

Consider how the passage reveals the problem of sin and the forgiveness of sins offered through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. What do I learn about myself in light of who God is?

3. How should the truth of this passage change me?

Consider how you fall short of God’s character, how the text reveals your sin nature, and what it says about your new identity in Christ.

Consider how you might pray for God to change your heart or what practical steps you can take toward cultivating habits of holiness.

4. How do the events of today's reading help you better understand the grand narrative of Scripture?

Mush additions to this study guide:

Here are God's character traits, or the fruits of the Spirit, that we are to strive for every day from Galatians 5:22-23:

"But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives:

📍love,
📍joy,
📍peace,
📍patience,
📍kindness,
📍goodness,
📍faithfulness,
📍gentleness,
📍self-control.

There is no law against these things!"

Until we can insert the phrase "[our name], you are" or "you have" in front of each of God's characteristics, or *fruit*, we have work to do.

These character traits do not come naturally to most of us, and daily study of God's Word will help us understand more clearly.

Mush update: I feel like I've let the "fruits of the spirit" rot in a bowl on the table, unused.

PSALMS 95

Psalms 95:1-11 NLT
[1] Come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. [2] Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him. [3] For the Lord is a great God, a great King above all gods. [4] He holds in his hands the depths of the earth and the mightiest mountains. [5] The sea belongs to him, for he made it. His hands formed the dry land, too. [6] Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker, [7] for he is our God. We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care. If only you would listen to his voice today! [8] The Lord says, “Don’t harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah, as they did at Massah in the wilderness. [9] For there your ancestors tested and tried my patience, even though they saw everything I did. [10] For forty years I was angry with them, and I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts turn away from me. They refuse to do what I tell them.’ [11] So in my anger I took an oath: ‘They will never enter my place of rest.’”

"God's address is at the end of your rope." - Christian philosopher, Dallas Willard (1935-2013)

Common knowledge is that Jesus knocks at your heart's door.

I find myself knocking at His door today, desperately seeking His help.

*how he greeted me*

2 SAMUEL 22

2 Samuel 22:1-30 NLT
[1] David sang this song to the Lord on the day the Lord rescued him from all his enemies and from Saul. [2] He sang: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; [3] my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. He is my refuge, my savior, the one who saves me from violence. [4] I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies. [5] “The waves of death overwhelmed me; floods of destruction swept over me. [6] The grave wrapped its ropes around me; death laid a trap in my path. [7] But in my distress I cried out to the Lord; yes, I cried to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry reached his ears. [8] “Then the earth quaked and trembled. The foundations of the heavens shook; they quaked because of his anger. [9] Smoke poured from his nostrils; fierce flames leaped from his mouth. Glowing coals blazed forth from him. [10] He opened the heavens and came down; dark storm clouds were beneath his feet. [11] Mounted on a mighty angelic being, he flew, soaring on the wings of the wind. [12] He shrouded himself in darkness, veiling his approach with dense rain clouds. [13] A great brightness shone around him, and burning coals blazed forth. [14] The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. [15] He shot arrows and scattered his enemies; his lightning flashed, and they were confused. [16] Then at the command of the Lord, at the blast of his breath, the bottom of the sea could be seen, and the foundations of the earth were laid bare. [17] “He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters. [18] He rescued me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and were too strong for me. [19] They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress, but the Lord supported me. [20] He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me. [21] The Lord rewarded me for doing right; he restored me because of my innocence. [22] For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not turned from my God to follow evil. [23] I have followed all his regulations; I have never abandoned his decrees. [24] I am blameless before God; I have kept myself from sin. [25] The Lord rewarded me for doing right. He has seen my innocence. [26] “To the faithful you show yourself faithful; to those with integrity you show integrity. [27] To the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd. [28] You rescue the humble, but your eyes watch the proud and humiliate them. [29] O Lord, you are my lamp. The Lord lights up my darkness. [30] In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall.

Just saw a post that said:

"Life hack: make sure you have something to look forward to every day."

I often dismiss the secular-ish posts like this. I think I've become a tad arrogant in my thinking that everything must be biblical in order to have value.

That's not how God thinks AT ALL.

There is value in all of His creation, and I think I miss a lot of what God might have for me personally by holding my own thoughts and values above those of others.

I'm not sure how to turn my arrogance into renewed, invigorating faith, but I betcha awareness is half the battle.

Oh, and today? I look forward to this Bible study and also filling a couple more boxes for the charity pick-up tomorrow.

2 SAMUEL 19

JOAB REBUKES THE KING

2 Samuel 19:1-23 NLT
[1] Word soon reached Joab that the king was weeping and mourning for Absalom. [2] As all the people heard of the king’s deep grief for his son, the joy of that day’s victory was turned into deep sadness. [3] They crept back into the town that day as though they were ashamed and had deserted in battle. [4] The king covered his face with his hands and kept on crying, “O my son Absalom! O Absalom, my son, my son!” [5] Then Joab went to the king’s room and said to him, “We saved your life today and the lives of your sons, your daughters, and your wives and concubines. Yet you act like this, making us feel ashamed of ourselves. [6] You seem to love those who hate you and hate those who love you. You have made it clear today that your commanders and troops mean nothing to you. It seems that if Absalom had lived and all of us had died, you would be pleased. [7] Now go out there and congratulate your troops, for I swear by the Lord that if you don’t go out, not a single one of them will remain here tonight. Then you will be worse off than ever before.” [8] So the king went out and took his seat at the town gate, and as the news spread throughout the town that he was there, everyone went to him. Meanwhile, the Israelites who had supported Absalom fled to their homes. [9] And throughout all the tribes of Israel there was much discussion and argument going on. The people were saying, “The king rescued us from our enemies and saved us from the Philistines, but Absalom chased him out of the country. [10] Now Absalom, whom we anointed to rule over us, is dead. Why not ask David to come back and be our king again?” [11] Then King David sent Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, to say to the elders of Judah, “Why are you the last ones to welcome back the king into his palace? For I have heard that all Israel is ready. [12] You are my relatives, my own tribe, my own flesh and blood! So why are you the last ones to welcome back the king?” [13] And David told them to tell Amasa, “Since you are my own flesh and blood, like Joab, may God strike me and even kill me if I do not appoint you as commander of my army in his place.” [14] Then Amasa convinced all the men of Judah, and they responded unanimously. They sent word to the king, “Return to us, and bring back all who are with you.”

DAVID’S RETURN TO JERUSALEM

[15] So the king started back to Jerusalem. And when he arrived at the Jordan River, the people of Judah came to Gilgal to meet him and escort him across the river. [16] Shimei son of Gera, the man from Bahurim in Benjamin, hurried across with the men of Judah to welcome King David. [17] A thousand other men from the tribe of Benjamin were with him, including Ziba, the chief servant of the house of Saul, and Ziba’s fifteen sons and twenty servants. They rushed down to the Jordan to meet the king. [18] They crossed the shallows of the Jordan to bring the king’s household across the river, helping him in every way they could.

DAVID’S MERCY TO SHIMEI

As the king was about to cross the river, Shimei fell down before him. [19] “My lord the king, please forgive me,” he pleaded. “Forget the terrible thing your servant did when you left Jerusalem. May the king put it out of his mind. [20] I know how much I sinned. That is why I have come here today, the very first person in all Israel to greet my lord the king.” [21] Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said, “Shimei should die, for he cursed the Lord’s anointed king!” [22] “Who asked your opinion, you sons of Zeruiah!” David exclaimed. “Why have you become my adversary today? This is not a day for execution, for today I am once again the king of Israel!” [23] Then, turning to Shimei, David vowed, “Your life will be spared.”

I've fallen for a few community noted posts the past few days while technically true, a few key elements were left out intentionally to mislead or cause wonder and awe.

Granted, I came to my own conclusions what the poster was referring to, which provided them their clicks & intended response, but I read what I wanted to read. My *perception* stepped in and filled in the blank that he intentionally left out.

And while the community note was technically correct, I was left disappointed that my brain wasn't able to work out the initial deceptive practice.

You know who else purposefully deceives? The devil. He always presents his agenda or motives in a way that humans decide they must have or find out themselves.

It's a love/hate relationship, just the way the devil intends it.

You know who doesn’t use deceptive practices to enslave your loyalties?

God.

He puts his commands plainly and in a forthright manner so that we don't misconstrue his intent.

Now, that doesn't mean there aren't confusing issues in the Bible. As it states in Isaiah 55:8 in the NLT, Isaiah 55:8 NLT:

"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.

In verse 9 of the same book & chapter of the NKJV, it explains:

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

Consequently, there are some things *of God* too complicated for us to know while we are here in our human bodies.

But someday, all will be made known. In the meantime, I will lean more on developing discernment and stop giving in to my baser emotional perceptions.

I'll *learn how to read*, as the scolders say.

Leaving this Mush update in from earlier in the week because it might be important in encouraging your own boldness of testimony & faith: Turns out donning the Full Armor of God (Ephesians 6:11-13) is giving me the confidence to speak hard truths to the world. This is what is leading me to developing the Fruits of the Spirit. There is an order to things. And I may have unlocked that door.

2 SAMUEL 16

DAVID AND ZIBA

2 Samuel 16:1-23 NLT
[1] When David had gone a little beyond the summit of the Mount of Olives, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, was waiting there for him. He had two donkeys loaded with 200 loaves of bread, 100 clusters of raisins, 100 bunches of summer fruit, and a wineskin full of wine. [2] “What are these for?” the king asked Ziba. Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the king’s people to ride on, and the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat. The wine is for those who become exhausted in the wilderness.” [3] “And where is Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson?” the king asked him. “He stayed in Jerusalem,” Ziba replied. “He said, ‘Today I will get back the kingdom of my grandfather Saul.’” [4] “In that case,” the king told Ziba, “I give you everything Mephibosheth owns.” “I bow before you,” Ziba replied. “May I always be pleasing to you, my lord the king.”

SHIMEI CURSES DAVID

[5] As King David came to Bahurim, a man came out of the village cursing them. It was Shimei son of Gera, from the same clan as Saul’s family. [6] He threw stones at the king and the king’s officers and all the mighty warriors who surrounded him. [7] “Get out of here, you murderer, you scoundrel!” he shouted at David. [8] “The Lord is paying you back for all the bloodshed in Saul’s clan. You stole his throne, and now the Lord has given it to your son Absalom. At last you will taste some of your own medicine, for you are a murderer!” [9] “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king?” Abishai son of Zeruiah demanded. “Let me go over and cut off his head!” [10] “No!” the king said. “Who asked your opinion, you sons of Zeruiah! If the Lord has told him to curse me, who are you to stop him?” [11] Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “My own son is trying to kill me. Doesn’t this relative of Saul have even more reason to do so? Leave him alone and let him curse, for the Lord has told him to do it. [12] And perhaps the Lord will see that I am being wronged and will bless me because of these curses today.” [13] So David and his men continued down the road, and Shimei kept pace with them on a nearby hillside, cursing and throwing stones and dirt at David. [14] The king and all who were with him grew weary along the way, so they rested when they reached the Jordan River.

AHITHOPHEL ADVISES ABSALOM

[15] Meanwhile, Absalom and all the army of Israel arrived at Jerusalem, accompanied by Ahithophel. [16] When David’s friend Hushai the Arkite arrived, he went immediately to see Absalom. “Long live the king!” he exclaimed. “Long live the king!” [17] “Is this the way you treat your friend David?” Absalom asked him. “Why aren’t you with him?” [18] “I’m here because I belong to the man who is chosen by the Lord and by all the men of Israel,” Hushai replied. [19] “And anyway, why shouldn’t I serve you? Just as I was your father’s adviser, now I will be your adviser!” [20] Then Absalom turned to Ahithophel and asked him, “What should I do next?” [21] Ahithophel told him, “Go and sleep with your father’s concubines, for he has left them here to look after the palace. Then all Israel will know that you have insulted your father beyond hope of reconciliation, and they will throw their support to you.” [22] So they set up a tent on the palace roof where everyone could see it, and Absalom went in and had sex with his father’s concubines. [23] Absalom followed Ahithophel’s advice, just as David had done. For every word Ahithophel spoke seemed as wise as though it had come directly from the mouth of God.

I woke up in the wee hours of the morning, so I grabbed my phone, opened up this app and saw the most beautiful yet heartbreaking story of resilience.

A survivor of Oct 7, left for dead, rescued, then suffering extensive pain & suffering in recovering from the actions of terror*sts, walking down the wedding aisle on her own to the chuppa. (Link in next post in thread.)

I challenge you to watch the video and, laying down your own struggles and concerns before God, acknowledge faith in Jesus the Messiah, ask Him to forgive your stubbornness and sin, then courageously step back and watch God work in your life.

He will never fail you.

Sep 28

I woke up to the most encouraging conversation in my timeline this morning.

Two people very much in the X public square, professing that they are no longer hesitant about expressing their faith to the world, and esp not afraid to mix faith and politics (convo in next post).

The responses that followed seemed to open a door to newly-courageous people who are now understanding the fork in the road as it relates to them: be loud and proud about sharing faith, or sit on the sidelines fretting about the state of the world.

It is encouraging that people are finding their literal God-given voice. It is our sole purpose on this earth, albeit many are given different avenues on which to begin their mission.

We no longer have the luxury of sitting by contently while others do the heavy lifting of sharing the gospel.

Start small. Tell someone you'll be praying for them, then do it. Eventually, you will be bold enough to tell people your story (*your testimony*) about how or what brought you to Christ.

This is what we need to combat the influx of evil into society. Or rather, it's not an influx because it's always been here, but an awareness of the evil that surrounds us.

No longer can we claim ignorance. Social media has seen to that. We have access to truth more than ever before. Our goal is now to discern it and disseminate it without fear or hesitation.

We, as a nation, have an opportunity to help steer the world towards the Lord.

Collectively, Christians, people of faith, are all Esther now and made for such a time as this (Esther 4:14).
