Psalm 27 - Juliano

Psalm 27

1 Light, space, zest -- that's God !
So, with him on my side I'm fearless,
afraid of no one and nothing.

2 When vandal hordes ride down
ready to eat me alive,
Those bullies and toughs
fall flat on their faces.

3 When besieged,
I'm calm as a baby.
When all hell breaks loose,
I'm collected and cool.


That has been my stance lately, or at the very least the stance I want to have.
Things are slowly ramping up. Still drawing, but not drawing nearly as much as I should.
I'm probably falling behind, but I'm trying to keep my cool.
My drawing tends to be bad if I'm not keeping it cool. Somehow as I'm responding to God,
I'm expecting God that He will someway provide in my circumstance.

All I need is to get in the school ! I had no idea it was going to be so grueling.
Literally at this point I think I'm getting in by God's intervention. God's intervention that he will somehow convince admissions and what not haha.

But I'm also trying my very best not to keep such an negative outlook on things. The theme in this process that I've been getting from people is to have fun.
To have fun with the process. That I get to really just draw and enjoy this process. And I have ! It has been so good for me.

I also have been having nightmares. I do believe they are spiritual attacks. Because they just came out of nowhere.
For the past two nights I had some very bad vivid dreams. It must mean I'm doing something that's upseting the enemy haha.

That's when this passage also comes in. Usually these dreams would take a greater toll. But in God I can stand firm.

I can definetly feel things getting more tense and shaking up.
But praise God ! I'm expectant He will do He, no matter the outcome.

Lord I need you to come.
Give me wisdom.
Give me strength. Hold me in these times.
I need your intervention. Come to my aid. Give me space to draw more.
Grant wisdom with admissions. Be with them. I pray Lord that you do your will.
I'm putting all my eggs in for you, do not leave me hanging.

Blessed be your name God !
In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Psalm 15 - SL

Psalm 15 - Righteous Manners v.2 "He who walks blamelessly ... and speaks truth in his heart..." v.4 "in whose eyes a vile person is despised..." v.5 "...He who does these things shall never be moved." A short psalm that speaks truth into what it takes to dwell on God's Holy Hill - or as I have put it - a psalm that speaks to righteous manners. This was a short list of Does and Does Nots, and then ends with a factual saying the one who acts in these ways won't be moved from that holy place. It was both a good refresher to read and fairly hard to digest because I don't pass the standards that I want to be passing. I know I don't walk blamelessly, and as much as I can put a check-mark on many of the other aspects, I am not satisfied - and I will not be satisfied/complacent - with not realizing a full and fruitful lifestyle. It's been easier for me to be okay with certain actions and thought processes because I am yoked by people w...

Psalm 12 - Juliano

Psalm 12 6 And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times. Even though it was not the point of the psalm, this passage really stood out to me. I had received an imagery like this before a long time ago. During one of the Ekklesias years ago, someone had a word for me like this before I went to start art school. That God would polish me like gold. I had an idea of what that meant, but it does seem to carry more meaning now. My younger self thought that I "already experienced all". That "what else can I experience that is new?". Unconciously that is. That's when the part it says "gold refined seven times" stood out to me. Realizing that refinement it's not a one go process. My sort of personality likes to get the hard part stuff first out of the way. And I always felt like going through the hard process for the "investment of the future" was always the right move. T...

Psalm 15

who keeps an oath  even when it hurts,      and does not change their mind; 5  who lends money to the poor without interest;      who does not accept a bribe  against the innocent. ------ Shucks, I missed the deadline... Got caught up with some business that kept me out until now.. sigh... anyways... In light of today's message, I feel like this is super powerful. For me, the hardest part has been the keeping an oath part. I was the one who always tried to look out for myself, even if that meant sometimes not keeping my word. It's funny though because it's not like they were blatant betrayals, but like Sung said, some of those sticky situations where I'd have to ask "well, is this really that serious?" Today's message I think helps us become more like the traits the Psalmist wrote. Having a holistic view of redemption and what the Cross means for us will better equip us with the tools to live the way the Psalmist said. ---- L...
