Psalm 130
A Song of Ascents.
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.
The photo is good.
The path isn't perfectly Heavenly, and, yet, is not without the Beauty of Heaven. There is seasonality. Some discomfort and some unknowing.
And this is when we realize people around us struggle. And when suddenly the sun isn't shining. When we see those we love, when we can't rush in and fix it. When the places around us change and people are busy. Suddenly - the future isn't what it used to be.
The future ain’t what it used to be. - Yogi
Waiting to hear what God will say and do.
Define insanity as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"?
This quote is generally attributed to Einstein, however there's significant debate about the attribution authenticity. Mark Twain, an old Chinese proverb and Benjamin Franklin have also been suggested as originators, yet consensus concludes the claim to Einstein.
We have similar daily breakfast. We wonder what to do today to Build to Abundant Life. We want to Bless Others. We hope for more warmth and Love in our lives. We hope to plan our lives in the direction we'd hope to.
Unknowing is a burden. How did this happen?
Well, here is a small map of the known universe.
Ecclesiastes 3
Written by David's son Solomon, the man who built the Temple and saw the Glory of God fill the Temple. And then had the good sense in old age to be Redeemed by God and find larger questions have larger answers from God and His Plan...
10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race.
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart;
yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
Does Jesus have a quote for this?
John 16:33
33b In this world you will have trouble.
We have a choice. Every day.
We can find God in His Good Creation.
We can embrace realization of thankful gratitude. By choice. This is different than becoming superstitious to every wind of 'god' nearby. We can remember the Renaissance. All things were seen as from God's Hand. What can we learn. Ask in honesty and sincerity. Even the Smoke on the water and the Fire in the Sky. Genesis 1 in our lives - our memories and Acts 2 - redemption in God.
Queen Elizabeth II is quoted saying, "When one feels life is too difficult and gratitude is not found, what happens next will be the real disaster."
Discovering Jesus in our soul - by knowing the Scriptures, God's Love and the Power of God. Applications in observation of life. Renewing our souls, heart and lives with the renewal of our mind.
By reading God's Word we find the burden of life having uncertainty is God's Plan. Jesus went on to add Comfort. The Holy Spirit.
John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart!
I have overcome the world.”
John 3:8
The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound,
but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes.
So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.
Matthew 7:25
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house;
yet it did not fall,
because it had its foundation on the rock.
God our Refuge. Sanctuary.
Asking in the Name of Jesus.
Matthew 8:26- 27
He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?”
Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this?
Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
Matthew 11:7-10
7 As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John:
“What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind?
8 If not, what did you go out to see?
A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces.
9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
10 This is the one about whom it is written:
“‘I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way before you.’
Here I am, Lord, Send me!
He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?”
Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this?
Even the winds and the waves obey him!”

God has given us Gifts. We can all be sent of God. To be prophetic is Faith. Having Faith is God's requirement! To Believe the Word of God. Believing God's Plan is Accomplished. Believing the Battle belongs to God. And our part is to fight the good fight. I believe, Lord Jesus, help me to have more faith! God gives us wisdom when we ask.
Ephesians 4:11-13
11 Christ gave gifts to men.
He gave to some the gift to be missionaries, some to be preachers, others to be preachers who go from town to town. He gave others the gift to be church leaders and teachers. 12 These gifts help His people work well for Him. And then the church which is the body of Christ will be made strong. 13 All of us are to be as one in the faith and in knowing the Son of God. We are to be full-grown Christians standing as high and complete as Christ is Himself.
God would have us grow and know His Peace.
Abba,
We can't always approach You well. Even when You have given us Your Word to come with boldness. There are times we have anxiety and wouldn't know what to say.
Remembering You told us Your Mercies renew and we will find this.
In the times we have worry, we will remember God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. Your Holy Spirit will pray for us. We can lean into You. And have Your Pinions around us as a hen gathers her chicks.
In the Name of Jesus, we ask Your Righteousness. And our souls will be a wonderful home for You.
Surround us, fill us, fill those we Love with Jesus Christ. Redeem us and Renew us with Your Willingness and we will be Blessed and Blessed. Help us to Seek Your Kingdom and Righteousness first. To Live lives of Love, Peace and Joy.
Give us this day to find our Joy is our Strength in You.
Fill our Churches, Neighborhood, Families and Homes with Your Love. The Exact Nature of Jesus Christ.
We put You, Father, and Jesus in the chinks of the wall, of injustice, of intolerance, of judgment. And Jesus will heal us all.
Bless the Nation trusting in You. Bring all the Nations to Your Brightness, to the Glory of Jesus.
We love to see Your Glory daily. Love Earnestly. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
