I had a 7th grade English teacher named Mrs. Maddox, who told us that a preposition was essentially defined in the same way as by the manner a squirrel could relate to a tree…..the squirrel can go: over, under, to, in, around , through, to, behind, before, inside, up, down, within…….
Preposition [prepəˈziSH(ə)n] NOUN grammar
a word GOVERNING, and usually preceding, a noun or pronoun and EXPRESSING A RELATION to another word or element in the clause…….
Those squirrels are important little things, aren’t they?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SQUIRREL !!!!!!!!!!
Why, yes, actually they are.
We will know God’s love IN salvation FROM him THROUGH Christ BY Faith;
We will know God’s joy BY fellowship WITH him IN Christ THROUGH obedience.
When joy is absent, our sense of God’s intimate loving presence probably is, too. It doesn’t mean he’s not there. But it does mean he has veiled his fellowshipping presence from us either because of some unacknowledged sin in our lives or because he desires to draw us further into intimacy with him through the wilderness experience…..
When God seems quiet, Dear Ones….. listen all the more attentively. His Holy Spirit is on the move!
