Matthew 6:5-6 ~ your Father Who sees

No one wants to be told to limit their dreams, aspirations or life. Or being held back. But we can lay our plans before the Lord and Hope.

Abraham left his father's beautiful ranch and farm in Iran and travelled to Hebron, Israel. To live in a tent. Abraham put his faith in the Lord and was called a friend to God.

The Exodus, the people of Israel, left what they knew and became tent dwellers. The History of the Lord tells us He provided for them.

The United States has been in Recovery.  At the top of our Scriptures for Today Blogspot, you will find a search button at the top left. 

You can find recovery in Dallas

from an F3 or 4 tornado, which followed almost the exact path in 1958.  2 years of recovery dealing with insurance and tear downs. 16 miles, about a mile wide. Our Dallas Family began to rebuild in 2 years of ongoing insurance questions. Home again.

Preach the Gospel, if Necessary Use Words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2018 Hurricane Harvey, Ike and Helene. The dramatic assistance of so many.

Incredible resilience. Flood allows recovery people to volunteer. Fire, in toxic flames, potentially makes Los Angeles forgotten in the recovery aspects. Sad to wait. 

Our Washington Parish Family in Louisiana was in the eye of Hurricane Katrina.

Today, North Carolina was discussing the trees and view from their dramatic overlooks, still beautiful. So much Beauty. And damage.  We, Scripture for Today Blogspot have recorded the Gardens of Longvue, a donation of a magnificent garden in New Orleans. Trees called forsaken sticks from majestic giants, began an incredible 5 years to beauty come back.

Matthew 6:5-6

Matthew 6:5-6

And when you pray, 

you must not be like the hypocrites. 

For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. 

Truly,

 I say to you, 

they have received their reward. 

But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father

 Who is in secret. 

And your Father 

Who sees in secret 

will reward you.

2 Kings 4:9-11

And she said to her husband, “Behold now, I know that this is a holy man of God who is continually passing our way. 10 Let us make a small room on the roof with walls and put there for him a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp, so that whenever he comes to us, he can go in there.” 

 11 One day he came there, and he turned into the chamber 

and rested there.

Luke 1 ~ certainty concerning the things you have been taught

 

Luke 1

1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, 2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, 3 it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.


5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah,[a] of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord. 7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years.

8 Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, 9 according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. 11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12 And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, 15 for he will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. 16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God, 17 and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.”

18 And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” 19 And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. 20 And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.” 21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering at his delay in the temple. 22 And when he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he kept making signs to them and remained mute. 23 And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home.

24 After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she kept herself hidden, saying, 25 “Thus the Lord has done for me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among people.”


26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”

35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born[e] will be called holy—the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant[f] of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.


39 In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, 40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, 42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be[g] a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”

46 And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
49 for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
50 And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate;
53 he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy,
55 as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever."


56 And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home.


57 Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. 58 And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. 59 And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child. And they would have called him Zechariah after his father, 60 but his mother answered, “No; he shall be called John.” 61 And they said to her, “None of your relatives is called by this name.” 62 And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he wanted him to be called. 63 And he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they all wondered. 64 And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God. 65 And fear came on all their neighbors. And all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea, 66 and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child be?” For the hand of the Lord was with him.
Zechariah's Prophecy

67 And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,

67 And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,
68 "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,
70 as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,
71 that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us;
72 to show the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
73 the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us
74 that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
76 And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins,
78 because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high
79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."

80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

Jesus tells us John 5:17
Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”

When we Trust in God, we can go forward. We believe all things work together for Good for those who Love the Lord and work according to His Promises.

The story of God's Son being born is surrounded by difficulties.

Like Jacob's Ladder

Matthew presents us with one of two genealogies. And an unwed mother giving birth in a barn by the mercy of a man born to the Kings of David's Line.

Mark begins with the grown men, Jesus and John are hard at work doing the Will of God surrounded by the impossible, the improbable and the Historically accurate Magnificence of God. A taming of the wilderness.

John tells us of John's understanding having been an eyewitness to Jesus. Jesus is the Light of the world. For believing Christians - we understand the truth of Scriptures. I sat with two believers who questioned all of this today to watch Morgan Freeman narrate a day of God testimonies. One of the questioning believers knew the Israeli History Professor on the television program from actually meeting her at the Sea of Galilee.





John is explaining in Words what God is telling us.  God is always God Triumphant.

God would not give us the Wonderful Jesus without ensuring the Victory of God. John has marvelously explained. John is the eyewitness who could never leave Jesus Christ.


From Genesis to Revelation - we find God has arranged Life to bring His Plan and His Word to His Victory. We are Celebrating, and our Destination is - Victorious Father God. Life. The Goodness of God.

John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, 

and the Word was with God, 

and 

The Word was God. 

2 He was in the beginning with God. 

 All things were made through Him, 

and 

without Him 

was not any thing made that was made. 

 In Him was Life, and 

the Life was the Light of men. 

5 The Light shines in the darkness, 

and the darkness has not overcome it.

Jesus tells us John 5:17
Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”

Abba, Father,

You have given us

Jesus

and 

He is Living Water.
