Galilee in Spring
Psalm 63
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
3 Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
4 So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.
5 My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
6 when I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
7 for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
8 My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.
9 But those who seek to destroy my life
shall go down into the depths of the earth;
10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword;
they shall be a portion for jackals.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God;
all who swear by him shall exult,
for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
What is the purpose of everyday life?
We meet that purpose every day. For some they are leaving their parents' house and heading out into the world. And that is an odd feeling to know you do not know what is ahead. Like knowing you are driving off a cliff. And you know you will land alright, but not what is ahead.
And others of us have settled lives and have a good idea of what the year will look like. Some are glad, some are bored. Some have trouble.
The purpose of life is to find seasons of seed parables. To find how we deal with all seasons and recover. To believe in season of unseen. To find God is helping.
This is Pentecost. And in the Belief God IS Helping. What was unseen and believed becomes Seen. Like the Resurrection. Like Jesus behind locked doors. Jesus teaching 500 for 40 days. Jesus seen in the Ascension to explain His Destination. Jesus not leaving His Disciples abandoned.
Has this been seen other than the early Church? We all can agree this is like the Burning Bush. And as Genesis says the Holy Spirit was above the waters of creation, now we find in the New Covenant, The Holy Spirit dwells with mankind saved by the Salvation of Jesus.
Does this still exist? When Peter Marshall, Presbyterian Minister and Chaplain to the United States Congress, died - the people in his hospital room - witnessed the scene of Acts 1 Again. God meeting mankind. The Light of the Holy Spirit made the whole room ablaze with Light. Guideposts records the passing of a Christian woman married 50 years and running a farm with her family - as she died - the room filled with unbelievable Light.
God's Purpose is always fulfilled.
Moses told the people who lived by the Nile of Egypt they would find their homeland to be a place of milk and honey. And by faith the people of the Exodus by passed Jericho which is very tropical and beautiful. And they had the land divided up to them.
This is Bethlehem of Judah. Jerusalem was not fulfilled in the Promise of the Exodus, although promised to the Tribe of Judah, until David became King.
Exodus 33:3
Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey.
The act of God is amazing. And our Generation is blessed to be just one generation away from 'Israel would never exist again and had not for 2,000 years'. And in one generation, one lifetime, Israel is the land of milk and honey.
Numbers 16:14
"Indeed, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor have you given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards Would you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up!"
Deuteronomy 6:3
"O Israel, you should listen and be careful to do it, that it may be well with you and that you may multiply greatly, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey."
Jerusalem 1880 and 1860 and today
Pool of Bethsaida
Today, let's look at Jerusalem
and Israel
We still see dry areas of Israel in summer - but the millenniums of people from Israel would be astonished.
How will we interpret this for ourselves? When God speaks, this will be the Plan of God.
We can hold on to God's Plans for us.
Believe when we hold on to God is Loving, Righteous and Good.
Believe when we hold on to Jesus, He is for us eternally.
A God of the Universe is Capable and Worthy of our esteem and prayer life.
His Promises are real and we can put our trust there.
Titus 1:2
In hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began
2 Peter 1:4
By which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
John 14:18
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
John 4:24
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
John 14:21
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.
Abba, Thank You for Your Promises.
We lift ourselves.
We lift our souls and cares.
We lift those we Love.
We lift their cares.
We lift the people You have given us to pray and care for.
We lift our work places, our schools, our Churches.
We lift our Nation.
We lift the praying World, believers of Jesus Christ
We know that as we trust in You, we will see Your Wonders, Acts, Love and Mercy.
Alleluia we are covered in the Name of Jesus. Always our Amen in Jesus.
