Quotes on “Mystery Day!” Why Not?

1) "Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise." - Julia Cameron

2) "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity." - Albert Einstein

3) "I am entirely on the side of mystery. I mean, any attempt to explain away the mystery is ridiculous. I believe in the profound and unfathomable mystery of life which has a sort of divine quality about it." - Aldous Huxley

If you think life is a mystery, you should see it through my eyes.

Good Monday, November 9, 2020 morning my friend COL Mikel J. Burroughs

Quotes I appreciate
1. Fyodor Dostoyevsky 'The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.'
2. Pico Iyer 'What I treasure most at any moment is intimacy, surprise, a sense of mystery, wit, depth and love my sources of electricity are Henry David Thoreau, Shakespeare, Melville and Emily Dickinson.
3. Marie Curie 'Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.'

Scriptures
a. Proverbs 30:18-19 Three things are too wonderful for me; four I do not understand: the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a virgin.'
b. Ephesians 5:25-33 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
c. 1 Timothy 3:14-16 'I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth. Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:
He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations,
believed on in the world, taken up in glory.
e. Romans 8:26-31 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
2 Corinthians 12-9 ESV ‘But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

1. Mystery

Lord I lift the homeless, the demoralized, the depressed, the widows, the widowers, the orphans, the lame, the seriously ill, and the ostracized to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU bless us with strength through our weakness, endurance though our patience, selflessness to replace all vestiges of self-centeredness.
I pray that the governors, state legislators, judges and Federal legislators in this nation, Canada, Mexico, UK, Europe, central and south America, Africa, India, south Korea, Australia, Philippines, Japan, and New Zealand are focusing on relieving unnecessary stress on the constituents and police forces protecting them. Brothers and sisters-in Christ lift up your leaders to the LORD and pray for peace. ‘And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. [Romans 8:28-29 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Monday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Tuesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ
