Matthew 28:20 ~ I Am with you always

 





When Joseph was taken to Egypt as by slave traders - he was very young. When Israel was raided by Nebuchadnezzar II, a million people died and the slave trade gained about 40,000 people. The fall of the House of the Children of Israel was great.



Joseph then found a place.


And that was taken. Joseph languished in prison without hope of freedom.


Was anything as bleak? Perhaps Mary. Leaving her family in haste. Her fiancé wondering about her being stoned to death.


Maybe Daniel.


Maybe the Lions were filled when Daniel arrived, how about tomorrow? Had to be worrisome to Daniel. Daniel went on to serve the rest of the Chaldean Babylonian Emperors until Cyrus the Great invaded and Daniel was retired.



When David had to run for his life as a criminal, his father had 7 sons and David had to find a place to hide them - with his parents.




All of the Saints of God
and I want to be one too.


Trouble will define us. What we do with trouble. How we view and look at prosperity. And this does define us too.


All of these very human stories represent flawed humanity. Choices made as life suddenly had harsh winds howl. Choices made from palaces where sunny days never end.

There is absolutely no way for Joseph, Mary, Daniel and David to have made life ok. There is One Promise of the Bible - that was held and lived and given to us to see for ourselves in life.








Matthew 28:20



Remember, 
I am with you always, 
even to the end of the age.


Why would God Promise us this?

 God, Himself, might be pretty busy.


Matthew 9:36

Jesus had compassion on them, 
because they were harassed and helpless, 
like sheep without a shepherd.



Hallmark cards. A nice thing. A warm meal. Even better. A phone call. Amazingly, this can really help.

Yet - The Journey of all of these people was what the Bible calls 'Narrow Gate'. God's People are called again and again sheep of His Pasture. We are all on a journey and we can even have a wonderful Benefit BBQ - yet, really, the Journey and Work and Wonder of a Soul to God - is a Journey of Soul.

Joseph - traveled alone.

Mary - made haste alone.

Daniel sat with the Lions, apparently alone.

David found places for his family to hide.

And really - strength was there. God did not leave - nor forsake - nor make easy - nor add in the fast fix - yet, yet, yet - - -
God made strong.
Only one day at a time.
God's Compassion - Available - Seek Him with all our whole heart.



When we find prayer requests - of the Beloved of God - the prayer requests say:
"I'm ok - please help my son, or sister or brother or friend or neighbor - to know the Love and Peace God has for hearts needing our Lord Jesus every day. Help them with marriage, divorce, disease, crisis and in need. Jesus please, You helped me. Amen"




Abba, Holy Father,

We pray with the Blessing of Hannah - for all the parents 
who have realized they did their lives with God:

1 Samuel 2

1Then Hannah prayed and said:
“My heart rejoices in the Lord;
in the Lord my horn is lifted high.
My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance.

2 “There is no one Holy like the Lord;
there is no one besides You;
there is no Rock like our God.

3 “Do not keep talking so proudly
or let your mouth speak such arrogance,
for the Lord is a God Who knows,
and by Him deeds are weighed.

4 “The bows of the warriors are broken,
but those who stumbled are armed with strength.
5 Those who were full hire themselves out for food,
but those who were hungry are hungry no more.

She who was barren has borne seven children,
but she who has had many sons pines away.

6 “The Lord brings death and makes alive;
He brings down to the grave and raises up.

7 The Lord sends poverty and wealth;
He humbles and he exalts.

8 He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
He seats them with princes
and has them inherit a Throne of Honor.

“For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s;
on them 
He has set the world.

9 He will guard the feet of His faithful servants,
but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness.

“It is not by strength that one prevails;
10 those who oppose the Lord will be broken.

The Most High will thunder from Heaven;
the Lord will judge the ends of the earth.

“He will give strength to His king
and exalt the horn of His anointed.”


And in the Strength of our Abba,
we place ourselves, our cares,
our Loved ones
the people God has given us.

And Our Nation, our communities,
our employments, our Schools, our Churches.

All the Nations trusting in Him
all the Beloved around the world - calling on Jesus
and for more of the Holy Spirit to bring
more Heaven to our lives 
and upon His Good Creation.

Our God who wants to fulfill His Will to save
through Jesus Christ.

Dwell in us, Father,
Dwell in those we Love,
Help us to seek You first
and in Jesus Christ,
we will finish well.








Amen.

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
