Information, information everywhere you go...
Still, many millions haven't a real clue, unfortunately, they refuse to know?

Touch the screen and up comes every useless statistic you ever wanted…
Still life in general is no better off, the majority are perplexed, they are in a collapsed state, yes, mentality daunted.

Is learning all things THIS world has to offer the paramount goal in life?
Sometimes too many details is a double edged sword, ultimately dismembering your spirituality, like a razor sharp knife...

It is written, to be innocent as doves but cautious as serpents, said Jesus Christ our heavenly master.
Without question, he was guiding us away quite possibly from our irrevocable disaster…

Many things are advantages but not necessarily beneficial.
Perhaps because what this worlds "knowledge" has to offer is mostly artificial...

When it comes to information, the TRUTH of any matter is only that which is entirely needed.
This a sure protection from ever letting ourselves get too cerebrally depleted...

Only God above has every correct answer as to what is really worthwhile.
This information only, will make all the difference, the day we individually go on trial.

Ecclesiastes 12:10-13

10 The congregator sought to find delightful words and to record accurate words of truth. 11 The words of the wise are like oxgoads, and their collected sayings are like firmly embedded nails; they have been given from one shepherd.  12 As for anything besides these, my son, be warned: To the making of many books there is no end, and much devotion to them is wearisome to the flesh. 13 The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole obligation of man.

1 Corinthians 6:12

12 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are advantageous. All things are lawful for me, but I will not let myself be controlled by anything.

John 17:3

3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

Matthew 10:16

16 Look! I am sending you out as sheep among wolves; so prove yourselves cautious as serpents and yet innocent as doves.

2 Timothy 3:16,17

16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness,  17 so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

Psalms 96:12,13

12 Let the fields and everything in them rejoice. At the same time let all the trees of the forest shout joyfully 13 Before Jehovah, for he is coming, He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the inhabited earth with righteousness And the peoples with his righteousness.

Imbalanced and unequal are many times the uncertain paths we mistakenly travel in this life.
Cutting us down at different junctions, it appears as with a jagged edged knife.

Which way will I next swerve, so as to forge straight ahead?
And will my sleep once more be lost as I swim in my sweat soaked bed?

Decisions, decisions at every turn.
Which way has the best lesson, that I may beneficially learn?

From where will I get the answers to this lopsided existence?
It seems whats right is wrong, and what’s wrong is right, with each day comes another 24 hours of dizzying persistence.

Up is down, and down is up.
They say it’s always better when you see things not as half empty, but a half full cup.

The fatal maneuver is to fool yourself into thinking that all is too far gone.
Because things sometimes do not change for their brightest, right up until the very end of dawn.

A crooked line will be made straight only if we use a good measure of faith.
Sometimes our prayers ascending will not be answered till we are at
10 to the power of the eighty eighth…

Life’s asymmetry is a battle of fact.
Compounded by a world that is utterly abstract.
Best we all read his words of wisdom, so as to stay on track.

Love, you lift my heart to a place that is in a completely different atmosphere.
It’s as a royal realm, like being up in our lofty stratosphere.

Your pleasantness fills my surrounding space.
I am at home wherever I may be, your refuge is within me, and I am not able to feel even slightly misplaced.

A cheerful happiness overshadows me, and I instantly transport to a state of jubilance!
My inner being soars toward unmitigated exuberance!

Love, your way is increasingly kind.
When you are with me, to all hurtful things, I am as deaf, dumb and blind.

You are love, and this is your indisputable way.
I trust you with my whole heart, because you come from the purest source, the one that is heaven high elevated, and would no one, ever betray…

34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also love one another.  35 By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves.


{Jehovah’s love is forever! But unrighteous hatefulness, will one day end.}

I received the most precious treasure, I must confess.
With this wonderful favor, have you also been blessed?

It came from above and brings me comfort everyday.
And as with any purely perfect present, it was free, and I did nothing pay.

What is this gift of which I speak?
A clue, it’s been around since the beginning, and to some is considered, very antique.

Many however have said, things that are older are not worth as much, as some things new.
However, it’s unique value is in it’s ability to give us the power needed each day and carry us through…

Never before had I any idea what his future would bring, and I surely did not internally, completely conceive.
That all history of pain and suffering would one day be gone, also the sorrow that had made hundreds of millions grieve.

So what was the most valuable gift I ever received?
It was the truth from God, about how I could with confident faith, all his promises believe…


J.I.F.


Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

James 1:17
17 Every good gift and every perfect present is from above, coming down from the Father of the celestial lights, who does not vary or change like the shifting shadows.

Hebrews 6:18
18 in order that through two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to the refuge may have strong encouragement to take firm hold of the hope set before us.

John 5:28,29
Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice  29 and come out, those, who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.

Revelation 21:3,4
3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Every righteous choice has been availed.
Every opportunity for life everlasting, has without a doubt been unveiled.

No more hiding behind this worlds willing blindness.
The time is just about here for him to retract his long lasting patience, and unmeasurable kindness.

Time soon to put wickedness in its everlasting forgotten place.
The time is imminent, minutes only left, for a total about-face.

It’s certainly no time for any of his words to misconstrue.
So listen wisely, before all allotted time is totally through…

So is time up, and is it too late?
All I can say is, every second left, time closes ever more, that still open however very narrow gate…

1 Corinthians 7:29a
29 Moreover, this I say, brothers, the time left is reduced.
Joseph Fernandez Aug 2022
Do not incessantly think about tomorrow because it may not come.
And as far as yesterday, well that’s already done.

To be or not to be, is that the entire question?
These next few lines friends, are not merely a silly suggestion...

Alive or not, we all only really exist in God’s perfect memory.
Everything within this temporarily flawed system, is surely in constant jeopardy.

With all our strength take advantage of each gifted day.
Doing our best to do what we know is right in his eyes, as we fervently pray…

Truth be told
we are all equally the same.
Here today gone tomorrow, life for everyone is as delicate as a flickering flame...

Troubles constantly, but nothing that is uncommon to every existing individual human entity.
By now we should know that each day will have more than enough, yes more than plenty…

Anxieties do have their place, however it’s not for you to give them another thought.
Pass them on to me he has said, that I may prove to you my strong and caring support.

Next my crescendo for you to take away.
No confusion or lack of momentum, that I may not somehow inadvertently cause you to stray...

Anxieties worth?
equivalent to nothing at all!
It’s this type of deep pondering, that leads one into a disastrous fall...

So read and listen to the scriptures that follow and please do take them to heart.
Because with only solid faith will life’s anxieties not be able to pull you apart...

Matthew 6:34

34 So never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Each day has enough of its own troubles.

14 whereas you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then disappears.

Hebrews 11:1

1 Peter 5:7

7 while you throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.

John 16:33

16 I have said these things to you so that by means of me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but take courage! I have conquered the world.”
Joseph Fernandez Jul 2022
To the human mind that is intimately unfamiliar with the concept of forever.
Striving for this elusive concept is a baffling endeavor.

Are things not naturally understood, nonexistent?
Things that our minds cannot perhaps reach, that are just too far distant?

The range of certain facts  that are at present conceivable by only its designer.
May to us be complicated, but to him only a matter that is very minor.

Subjects not comprehended, perhaps taking an infinite time frame to understand?
However having a complete grasp of every detail at present, is not something he currently decrees by strict command.

Instead of being preoccupied with an insatiable goal to discover what the future will hold for endless days…?
No doubt our limited time and wisdom is best utilized in his confidence, so that he may receive our deepest worthy praise.



J.I.F.



Jeremiah 17:7

7 Blessed is the man who puts his trust in Jehovah, Whose confidence is in Jehovah. 8 He will become like a tree planted by the waters, That sends out its roots to the stream. He will not notice when heat comes, But his leaves will always flourish. And in the year of drought he will not be anxious, Nor will he quit producing fruit.

1 John 2:17
17 Furthermore, the world is passing away and so is its desire, but the one who does the will of God remains forever.

Psalms 37:29

29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.
