IN A FOG

Sometimes we may be in a "a fog" when we try to understand the BIBLE. We struggle and strain, but we cannot see the beautifull truth that lie within the passage. It may even seem as if GOD is keeping them hidden from us.
Don't forget that we always need illuminating help of the HOLY SPIRIT. It is not GOD who wants to keep us from grasping the wonderfull truths of Scripture; it is HIS enemy. The devil knows that we cant put into practice what we don't comprehend.
We need to pray as the Psalmist did, "Open my eyes, that i may see wondrous things from Your Law" Ps 119:13.

Intellectuals

Intellectuals who joined the Grand coalition.....were bitterly disillusioned when they realised that the coalition had no confidence in them, despite the many sacrifices they had made for the coalition. Have they been too demanding? Have they asked to be made ministers or ambassadors? No, they haven't. The majority of the intellectuals are not ambitious and would willingly give these positions to politicians and party members. They simply wish to give the benefit of their qualifications and experience to the services of the people, and to safeguard their honour and freedom of thought which they believe to be essential to the dignity of the intellectual.
