Psalm 118 ~ Give Thanks to the Lord

 










Psalm 118



Oh give thanks to the Lord, 
for He 
is good;
    for His steadfast Love endures forever!

2 Let Israel say,
    “His steadfast love endures forever.”

3 Let the house of Aaron say,
    “His steadfast love endures forever.”

4 Let those who fear the Lord say,
    “His steadfast love endures forever.”

5 Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
    the Lord answered me 
and set me free.

6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.
    What can man do to me?

7 The Lord is on my side as my helper;
    I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.

8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
    than to trust in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
    than to trust in princes.

10 All nations surrounded me;
    in the Name of the Lord I cut them off!

11 They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
    in the Name of the Lord I cut them off!
12 They surrounded me like bees;
    they went out like a fire among thorns;
    in the Name of the Lord I cut them off!
13 I was pushed hard, so that I was falling,
    but 
the Lord helped me.

14 The Lord is my strength and my song;
    He has become my salvation.

15 Glad songs of salvation
    are in the tents of the righteous:

“The Right Hand of the Lord does valiantly,
the Right Hand of the Lord exalts,
    the Right Hand 
of the Lord does valiantly!”

17 I shall not die, but I shall live,
    and recount the deeds of the Lord.
18 The Lord has disciplined me severely,
    but 
He has not given me over to death.

19 Open to me the Gates of Righteousness,
    that 
I may enter through them
    and
 give thanks to the Lord.


20 This is the Gate of the Lord;
    the righteous shall enter through it.

21 I thank you that You have answered me
    and have become my salvation.
22 The stone that the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone.


23 This is the Lord's doing;
    it is marvelous in our eyes.

24 This is the day that the Lord has made;
    let us rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Save us, we pray, O Lord!
    O Lord, we pray, give us success!

26 Blessed is He 
who comes in the Name of the Lord!
    
We bless you from the House of the Lord.

The Lord is God,
    and He has made His Light to shine upon us.

Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,
    up to the horns of the altar!

28 You are my God, 
and I will give thanks to You;
   You are my God; 
I will extol you.

29 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
    for His steadfast Love endures forever! 

















 Abba, Father,

We will have
another
Merry Christmas,
Thank You, Father



Thank You, Father God, 
for Your Wonders of a New Year. 

You make all things new in Jesus Christ.
 Jesus tells us You are working 
and Jesus with You. 

We have asked for few
weather
events,
You are hearing
and working.
Thank You.




More of Your Holy Spirit this New Year, 
having You dwell in us 
God of Love. 
God of Encouragement.

For our history, our generations
have pleased You
Loving and Caring for our Children.
Look with us, and Bless us, Father.

Smile upon us, remembering
our heart to please our families
and You.

Forgive us when we err
in weakness, need and fear.
Strengthen us in Your Love.

Thanks be to Jesus, for His Grace upon Grace.




I will wait upon God all the days of my life 
and 
dwell in the House of Lord for His Word to me. 

Alleluia. Christmas is coming again. 


This is as sure as the Promises of God for us in eternity who call upon Jesus.
 Speak the Word God and I shall be well. 



Psalm 139:1-18,23-24

O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
    you discern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying down
    and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
    behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
5 You hem me in, behind and before,
    and lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
    it is high; I cannot attain it.

7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?
    Or where shall I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
    If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
    and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
    and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
    and the light about me be night,”
12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
    the night is bright as the day,
    for darkness is as light with you.

13 For You formed my inward parts;
    You knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise  You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
when I was being made in secret,
    intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in Your Book were written, every one of them,
    the days that were formed for me,
    when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
    How vast is the sum of them!

18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
    I awake, and I am still with you.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
    Try me and know my thoughts!
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
    and lead me in the way everlasting!


Abba, 
Your wrath is covered when we believe in Jesus.
Psalm 139 is the perfect reminder in all of Psalm 139.
Jesus helps us daily to find the path of Love and Encouragement.

Abba,
You have Blessed this Nation 
and believing Nations
with an Open Always Prayer Life
being who we are and believing You make us better and more loving.

We can look at Psalm 139
and 
remember the generations of people and families
doing all they can for their children in complex life
needing Jesus as Savior.

The Birthday Blessings
and expecting
a Grandchild.
Blessed!




Your Word 
gives us Hope
Love
Faith
Encouragement

We can ask for Your Holy Spirit to know
all of us
every cell
every molecule
Just as water is a wonder
You have created us as Wonders of Your Creation






Your Holy Spirit
knows every thought, every molecule
every cell
the hairs on our head
we have been filled with the 
Light of Jesus Christ
and only the better
for Jesus to be the Light within us.




Our Prayer this year,
The Light of Heaven,
The Light of the world, God's Good Creation
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
The Light of Nations
The Light of Mankind
will be
the Light filling this complex time
with more
of Your Love, Encouragement
Guidance, Mercy
Grace upon Grace.




We ask simply God
for Your Love
and Your Mercy
Your forbearance with this time.



Knowing Spring follows Christmas
Summer brings warmth
Autumn tells the Glory of God
and 
Christmas renews us in Hope


New Year's is Jesus giving us pause to 
remember
Jesus Christ makes ALL things 
New.



As we are asked to remind God
to bless us with more Heaven on earth,
His Good Will be done.


To You, our Father, be the Glory
Our God is an Awesome God! Amen
and Alleluia
in Jesus Christ and His Glory!








Jesus Saves †










Yes, The Lord Fulfills His Purpose


Thank You, Jesus

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

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

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. <><
