Hearken unto God
Our life shall always be full of disorder and confusion, until we have yielded so much authority unto God over us as to have the [whole] guiding of us, and that we have made our account to rest simply upon his word. To be short, we be taught here, to rid ourselves of all selfweening, and that when the case concerneth how to live well, we must not step upon our own head, and after our own fancy, to say, this seemeth good to me. Whereat must we then begin? At learning, as Moses declareth. And therefore he that giveth ear unto God, to recieve whatsoever is told him from him, shall be well-learned. but on the contrary part, until such time as we have heard our GOD speak, and that he have performed the office of teacher towards us: it is certain that our life shall be quite out of order. We may well flatter ourselves as ignorant wretches do, who bear themselves in hand that the world goes as well with them as is possible, when in the mean while they be no better than bewitched, so as there is neither wit nor discretion in them. Ye see then that the thing which we have to mark upon this text, is that if we mean not to lead a disordered life, and such a one as God utterly misliketh: we must hearken unto him. And here it appeareth of what value good intent (as they term them) are: For if it behove us to hear God speak, before we lift up one foot to go forward: what will become of us when everyone of us is wedded to his own fancy, and when our lusts are so wild? Doth it not appear that God refuses all such things in one word? Moses tells us that God on his side, will teach us faithfully and soundly, and perfectly: conditionally that we refuse not to be ruled by him and obey him. [John Calvin--sermon on Deut 4:1]
About
Nothing much to tell. I’m walking a single solitary pilgrims walk, in England, that is not an easy one. I am a Calvinistic Covenanter Christian, My Autonomic Nervous system is failing slowly, which has led to severe disability, with an ultra rare disease than medics don’t even understand, often misdiagnose.and will no doubt kill me at some point. But, I trust the Lord to get me where I’m going. All glory to HIM.
The symptomology listed on the link, most porphyrics will only have most of those symptoms if in an acute attack. A few of us, with the ongoing, smouldering symptoms, that never go away, have most if not all of the symptom list, even when not in an acute attack, and are persistent and constant. Anyone who has ever been in the psychiactric system, diagnosed as this or that, even if physically well, should consider this illness could be responsible. King George III, the most famous porphyric, his sole symptom was “insanity.” Its so rare in part, because it’s massively under-diagnosed. But in making this illness known, when it struck me physically a few years ago, God vindicated me from every mis-diagnoses and bersmirchment upon me medically that has ever been made, and has made them all null and void.
