@OverInDover Sadly I currently have no telescope, but one day will remedy that (hope). But yeah - southern climates aren't the best for stargazing in general... no telescope can battle that and light pollution, another problem I have.
Anyone with a quality telescope can go out on a cloudless night, right in their backyard, and see Saturn & its rings with their own eyes.
This image was taken with a 16" Dobsonian... it clearly shows a spherical body lit by the Sun, casting a shadow on the backside of the rings.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
@DanielvsBabylon Man, I missed this before Daniel, but you are spot-on! My immediate thought after reading this:
Father ๐ knowledge
Holy Spirit ๐ intimacy
Son ๐ obedience
@eliyahuaricohen@rabbriansamuel I've wondered this too. My thinking is Jesus himself told this to the apostles specifically for it to be recorded... so that we might truly understand:
1) He was fully human, subject to temptation
2. He was fully God, able to resist
3. His Word is fully sufficient for us

@TNTJohn1717 Thanks to the Holy Spirit, we can always feel the thorns pricking us, choking out God. But if we stay connected to the vine, then we can grow out of whatever thorny weeds we've planted around ourselves.
Truly, like never before, we have no other to cling to than Jesus Christ.

@SolaScriptura98 Psalm 138:7
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

@FightofFaith The hardest to overcome (for me):
Worrying about what the world โor my family, my friends, my acquaintances, etc.โ thinks about my relationship with God, instead of me accepting that my relationship with God begins & ends with Jesus Christ.
His is the only opinion that matters.
@Neloangelo314 I'm with you.
At one point in my life (decades ago) I wanted to be a fighter pilot. Now I have such a hard-coded, innate opposition to flying, I'm pretty much limited to flying only in my dreams... which is a cool thing I have actually experienced.
@Apostle_David@allwaysama3349 Thank you David! Your posts resonate within, my friend.
I am blessed with eyes to see & ears to hear, so when I come across content like yours โpiercing the heavy clouds of distraction here with the Lord's truth & lightโ it always brings a smile to my face. ๐
Grace to you!๐
@allwaysama3349@Apostle_David Our blessed hope is our salvation - our being saved from God's wrath (second death) by the blood of the Lamb: it is the Gospel.
Rev 2:11:
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

The Good Lord saying it...
When following someone on a trail โwalking directly behindโ we only need to watch themโฆ trusting THEIR steps & eyes, THEIR perception & judgement, instead of our own.
This is why Jesus repeats this phrase so often to anyone desiring to be his disciples (us):
โCome, FOLLOW ME.โ
@catturd2 FAUCISTS: "Have you received a COVID-19 vaccine? Do you have your vaccination record?"
ME: "I will invoke my right under the 5th amendment to the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions."

Over the past few days I've twice now opened up X to see thisโฆ I simply click 'Start' & it becomes unlocked again. Thing is - I'm not breaking any X Rules, so what gives?
Anyone else having this stupid, new & annoying issue?
