Isaiah 45:7
I form the light
and create darkness,
I bring prosperity
and create disaster;
I, the LORD, do all these things.
Matthew 10:5-15
5 These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, "Go nowhere
among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And proclaim as you go, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay. 9 Acquire no gold nor silver nor copper for your belts, 10 no bag for your journey, nor two tunics nor sandals nor a staff, for the laborer deserves his food. 11 And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. 12 As you enter the house, greet it.
13 And if the house is worthy,
13 And if the house is worthy,
let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words,
14 And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words,
shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.
15 Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.
1 Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number,
Acts 6
1 Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number,
a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews
because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution.
2 And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said,
"It is not right
that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. 3 Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. 4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word." 5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch.
6 These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them.
7 And the Word of God continued to increase,
7 And the Word of God continued to increase,
and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem,
and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.
Conflict, Anxiety and a Meaningful Life. Dealing with Conflict.
On the days I don't feel all composed - I can wait to feel the Mercies of God renew. I realized about 3 days ago, His mercies renewed about 4:30 p.m. I had to laugh a little. God's timing is His own. And His timing is exact. God is an interesting and essential part of our thoughts, our eventuality and the changes we meet in life.
It's written.
Why would we turn to Scriptures when so much of Scripture is anger and war and conflict?
So - why do this?
We live in Conflict.
Well you see, we all get along. Like Paul and John Mark. Like Jews and Gentiles. Like Rome and Passover. In fact, Paul tells us when he goes to the Dispersion Temples - some preach out of rivalry. Paul gets along so well - he is lowered by a basket to escape execution. What is the point of all of this? Anger is in the Bible over 400 times. We deal with this all our lives. And Politics? Anger. And internal conflict and desire to have one up? Anger.
People who avoid Church and the Bible - they want to know this and not offend you - but - Why all this?
Why the Hand of Woe in the Bible? What draws us to Conflict?
Matthew 11:12
From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it.
Finding Meaning.
Jesus lived a lot of the Joy of His Life on the Sea of Galilee. Why would Jesus pick this place. 1. Jesus loved the beauty of God's earth.
What's in it for us. Real Jesus.
Being part of the Eternal where we will all go.
Making sense of the puzzle of life.
Hope. Love. Joy. Peace.
Goodness. The Hope of Goodness paving our Path.
Overcome the Storms and Perils of Life.
Be inspired to be part of Community. To endure hard times and enjoy Community of the Body of Christ. To Contribute. To gain in understanding. To appreciate our voice and the voice of the saved in Jesus.
To take old challenges, new challenges, changing challenges and perpetual challenges and have Love and Joy.
To value ourselves as being Delightful to God as we are. To Rise.
Hebrews 11
11 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
Hebrews 11 Continues in Nourishment
32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. 35 Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life.
We can deal more readily with life being like shifting shadows.
Isaiah 41:10
10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Because the Bible is living Word of God, we can approach the Gospels, the Psalms, the New Testament and find comfort in times of need. Keep reading the Word of God has vast comfort. The ability to reach in to you. The Old Testament is just a study of the generations we see today.
John 1:16
16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.
Yes, the fullness of God reaches deep within us. Reading His Word.
Genesis 27:28-29
28 May God give you heaven’s dew and earth’s richness— an abundance of grain and new wine. 29 May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed.”
Life Triumphant in Abundance Forever More.
Psalm 1:1-3
1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, 2 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. 3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
Psalm 23:1-4
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
God tells us the Holy Spirit is Comforter and Teacher.

It's written.
God has written in the Scriptures in several places God has the absolute power of Peace. When you read Daniel 1 - Daniel had help to be placed favorably where God wanted him - you know this is true. Solomon was very to the point about the hand of Blessing and the Hand of Woe are the same thing.
The Beatitudes are comforting and not comforting.
The Beatitudes are comforting and not comforting.
Depends on your day and season in life. One more example of Living Word of God.
When we sit down to watch a movie or read a book, we find conflict and we find solutions.
James Bond is not the place to find Solutions.
1. The women do not continue. The women are phased out.
2. Someone is going to get killed.
3. In real life dating - there is heart break and not everyone bounces well.
4. People really do this and end up very confused.
Real people think this is reality in life and dating. Making a very unhappy life.

Why would we turn to Scriptures when so much of Scripture is anger and war and conflict?
I mean, the Old Testament is so violent. We have this in the New Testament too - John the Baptist - was killed. Stephen - was killed. The Disciples were - killed. Why do we go there? This is a very, very good question - my nephew was asking me this.
And the likelihood of Catholic sainthood seems to have tuberculous as part of an early entrance into Heaven.

Having Meaningful Lives.
We are taking our lives and we are asking - what is the real meaning here?

Even the times and years it seems evil is chasing.
If I give you 'my opinion', you would probably have your own opinion.
If I give you 'my opinion', you would probably have your own opinion.
Our view of life is our age in years. Limited. When women are afraid of giving birth - they realize most women have more than one child. When we want an Enduring and Eternal Opinion - God's Word.
Today Fox News reported:
79% of Evangelical Christians will Vote for President Donald Trump. This is up 16% from 2016.
And additionally, Americans see two realities. One part wants Safety, avoid Terrorism. One part is focused on Covid Virus and Health Care. This Poll was so divided - the poll says equality is only placed with the group seeking Health Care.
Why are Polls so uninformative? People rarely just answer their phones. And why would you tell
an anonymous voice on the phone?

To value ourselves as being Delightful to God as we are. To Rise.
To realize every Word of God has the power to help us in dark times. To understand why David cried out against evil.
To be able to forgive. The Blessing of Forgiveness. What is this? And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. We
do not have to sit and stew. To not enjoy Life. To realize Abundant Life moves us in His Grace.

The explanations of overcoming wickedness and the real anger, allow us to be close to God even when the battle is fierce. Welcome to come to God because we need Him.
2 Samuel 22:3-4
3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior— from violent people you save me. 4 “I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and have been saved from my enemies.
Psalm 138:7
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.
We really believe in the intervention of God. Abraham saw God change His plans when He gave the ability in Prayer to reason together.
2 Corinthians 9:8
8 And God is able
to bless you abundantly,

having all that you need,
you will abound in every good work.
