It will be as in the days of the generation + of Noah. People marrying and giving in marriage, + eating an' drinking, were, knowing nothing + about flood that came upon them until it came, + and Noah and those whom G!D had commanded Noah + to take with him - Oh, Noah obeyed what + G!D told him. That is to say, he did not + say 'No' to G!D out of defiance (or wilfulness); + neither + did he refuse to believe in the one whom + G!D has sent (You know the god I am talking + about: He who created the Universe and every-thing + in it, the All-knowing, All-hearing and All-seeing + Sovereign over the Day of Judgment who loves + justice and detests wickedness) - and when + destruction was complete, Noah asked G!D + for permission to dis-embark from where + G!D had spared him from destruction. (maybe + in the Quran, this is written) +

+

O prophet, your words will only be heeded- + your advice will only be heeded by those + who fear G!D, and are repentant, or otherwise + willing to reconcile themselves to Him. (as written + in the Quran). (the reader might want to compare + this to the parable of the sower and the seed + that Christ Jesus, son of Mary, gave, and which + is recorded in Scriptures that are known as + the Bible). +

+

Quit? Oh LORD, let not Your spirit away from me! +

+

On a point which may be elusive to people + in some parts of- any-way, elusive to some people- + is what exactly does it mean to say 'Thou + art my shepherd; I shall not want.' + +

+

G!D has given me the grace to type + on a night in the tropics, so write I will, + gladly. G!D brought me to + + a book + + that is on-
+ (checking it up in an information store, the Internet + address of which is as follows)
+ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/441024.Great_Fool?ac=1&from_search=true +
+ a person who calls himself 'Great Fool'. +

+

In any case, a passage or idea from that book + is that on the way to enlightenment, + alms-taking is required. To put it in + a way that is a little more familiar + to the lay-man, or more precisely, those + people who reside in urban areas (that is, + not exactly pastoral), begging is required. + A better-sounding name, that book has given + that. Going to check information store again. +

+

'mendiciary' +

+

Perchance the starting point may have + been forgotten. What does it mean to say, + 'Thou art my shepherd. I shall not want'? +

+

How can one trust in a higher power that + feeds and clothes one unconditionally, unless + power is given over to the higher power in question + to feed and clothe one? +

+

What coming to mind is: Jesus. The disciples + began arguing among themselves about who + among them was the greatest in the kingdom + of Heaven. Taking a little one to Jesus, + Jesus said, 'Truly, truly, I tell you, + those who humble yourself as this little one + is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven.' + (among numerous other examples, of little + ones being a model to Man, that Jesus gave). +

+

You ever saw a little one - say, one year + of age, in your so-called modern measures + of time - suit up in tie and tuxedo, and + wait tables? Or pump petrol for others + at a gas station? Who feeds a one-year-old? +

+

You wanna be greatest in kingdom of Heaven? + How about you learn from a one-year-old about + trust in a world that feeds you, and clothes + you unconditionally, among other things + that a one-year-old can teach you, if you choose + to humble yourself? +

+

To emphasise on what Jesus - who is Teacher + and Lord, as it should be - said, verse from Bible: + And he said to them: + "Truly I tell you, unless you change and + become like little children, you will never + enter the kingdom of Heaven." + + (Gospel of Matthew, chapter eighteen, verse three. + http://biblehub.com/matthew/18-3.htm) + +

+

So, back to the beginning. What does it mean + to you to say the following: + 'Thou art my shepherd; I shall not want" +

+

On a some-what related note, G!D + has given me a chance to attend a lesson + or example of what some call homoletics. + 'Big' word? Or complicated word? + How about this: how to communicate + more effectively? +

+

So one of the ideas during that demonstration + or lesson that came up in mind was the + art of repetition, which interestingly + enough, is a rather prominent feature + in classical music, or music from the + period of your development that some + have called 'the Classical period'. +

+

Maybe those who are familar with a certain + type of computers know it as 'copy-and-paste'. + So, the art of repetition (a concept that + G!D has introduced me to in a music course, + which is, of course, from the-LORD-who-will-provide)- + the art of repetition is how you 'copy-and-paste', + not just what you 'copy-and-paste'. +

+

So, parable of sower and seeds, coming to mind + again. +

+

Hm. To sum up, +

+

+

So, having examples- but, demonstration + of homoletics included a clear warning to not + introduce to you - or the audience, or the + people you are preaching to - any new content + or points, (where) in the conclusion, or where + you have told your audience where you will end. +

+

My time is short, how-ever. G!D will take + my life - or what people of the world think + of as life, to be more accurately speaking - + according to His will, which is above my will. +

+

Sufficient for you, it is becoming clear, + that there are highly visible persons among + your urban (that isn't exactly pastoral) + societies who have attempted- not suicide- + mendiciary. (begging. taking alms.) +

+

So, to repeat, if you don't give a higher power + - or, a higher being who causes rain or water to fall from + the sky so that your thirst may be satisfied - + (oh, thank You for the rain, oh, Papa (Father) + who is Ruler of the Universe, whose name + is hallowed. Why, G!D, Your people have + created imitations of the sound of rain-drops + falling on surfaces, so that they may be + soothed or otherwise comforted, or find + a common humanity)- + to repeat, if you do not give a higher power + a chance to feed you un-conditionally, what is it + to you to spend time with words that have + the breath of G!D in them? What is it to you to + say or see the following: 'Thou art my shepherd; + I shall not want.' +

+

+ to have the no small honour to obey the guidance that the mighty helper of worm Jacob and little Israel
