Psalm 126 ~ shouts of joy, bringing His sheaves

Sheaves of Wheat, 1890, painted by Vincent Van Gogh

Psalm 126

1 When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion,

we were like those who dream.

2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,

and our tongue with shouts of joy

Then they said among the nations,

"The LORD has done great things for them."

3 The LORD has done great things for us;

we 

are 

glad.

4 Restore our fortunes, O LORD,

like streams in the Negeb!

5 Those who sow in tears

shall 

reap with shouts of joy!

6 He who goes out weeping,

bearing the seed for sowing,

shall come home 

with shouts of joy,

bringing His sheaves with Him.

Planting. All work involving hope.

Gratitude

Growth. Effort to move, cultivate, nourish.

Gratitude

Prayer. Sunshine, rain, warmth, cold. Elements beyond our control. Co-workers, pests, efficiency, accidents, reliability.

Gratitude!

Time. Each day - routine or stressful.

Finding Gratitude.

Expectation. God hears, cares, acts.

Gratitude.

Harvest. Shouts of joy. Gratitude. 

Pup Cup. Gratitude!

Rest.

Gratitude

Repeat.

Gratitude!




Luke 13:18-19

He said therefore, 

"What is the Kingdom of God like? 

And to what shall I compare it? 

19 It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, 

and 

the birds of the air made nests in its branches."

Pray for Farmers

Worldwide

Galatians 6:9

Let us not become weary in doing good, 

for at the proper time 

we will reap a harvest 

if we do not give up.

Your steadfast Love, O LORD, endures forever. 

Do not forsake the 

Work of Your Hands.

Hebrews 12:1-19 ~ Do Not Grow Weary

 

Hebrews 12:1-19

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so GREAT a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Do Not Grow Weary

3 Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you do not grow weary or fainthearted. 4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?

“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,

    nor be weary when reproved by him.

6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,

    and chastises every son whom he receives.”

7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. 11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

12 Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. 14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; 

that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled

Wilderness.... Dry Land... Strengthen... Make Firm.... Fear Not .... Anxious Heart

....Waters Break Forth .... Thirsty Ground... Unclean

Jonah 1:6 

The captain went to him and said, "How can you sleep? 

Get up and call on your god! 

Maybe he will take notice of us 

so that 

we will not perish." 

We have all had our share of Lions, Tigers and Bears.

Jonah 1:8

So they asked him, "Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What kind of work do you do? Where do you come from? "

Now is the time for ALL to Hope and VOTE.

Jonah 3:4,5

Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” 5 And the people of Nineveh believed God.

The Voting Poll Experts say the elderly and the put out won't vote. They are

NOT ENERGIZED.  

Please, Don't be the one who stayed home. 

No one could have cleaned up all that Pandemic, The Fall, The next Biden Fall, the Disaster that created 2024 Voting ENTHUSIASM. The constant doomsaying news and pick, pick, pick. 

And the experts say well no one is turning out like 2024. So what? It's not like they

expect Santa Claus.  WE CAN SAVE OUR FUTURE. WE NEED TO.

Jonah 4

 10 And the Lord said, “You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night. 11 And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?”

Isaiah 35

The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;

    the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus;

2 it shall blossom abundantly

    and rejoice with joy and singing.

The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,

    the majesty of Carmel and Sharon.

They shall see the glory of the Lord,

    the majesty of our God.

3 Strengthen the weak hands,

    and make firm the feeble knees.

4 Say to those who have an anxious heart,

    “Be strong; fear not!

Behold, your God

    will come with vengeance,

with the recompense of God.

    He will come and save you.”

5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,

    and the ears of the deaf unstopped;

6 then shall the lame man leap like a deer,

    and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.

For waters break forth in the wilderness,

    and streams in the desert;

7 the burning sand shall become a pool,

    and the thirsty ground springs of water;

in the haunt of jackals, where they lie down,

    the grass shall become reeds and rushes.

8 And a highway shall be there,

    and it shall be called the Way of Holiness;

the unclean shall not pass over it.

    It shall belong to those who walk on the way;

    even if they are fools, they shall not go astray.

9 No lion shall be there,

    nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it;

they shall not be found there,

    but the redeemed shall walk there.

10 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return

    and come to Zion with singing;

everlasting joy shall be upon their heads;

    they shall 

obtain 

gladness 

and joy,

    and 

sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Psalm 23 ~ You are with me

 

Psalm 23

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.

3 He restores my soul.

He leads me in paths of righteousness

for his name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk 

through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil,

for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff,

they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies;

You anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life,

and I shall dwell in the House of the Lord

forever.

The Lord tells us again and again, to reach Heaven we have to seek the Lord.  And His Word tells us we will account for every careless word.  The Book of Revelation tells us God has a plan and our deeds will tell what life we have given to the earth. Jesus said the tree is revealed by the fruit.

John begins to speak of working and seeing Jesus with his own eyes and life, that God and His Only Son are the Light in mankind. We have an obligation of heart to have our life bless God's people, all things, and all who dwell upon the creation He calls Good yesterday, today and tomorrow. 

Adam was called to cultivate the garden God gives us all. The Exodus, before government and before the Temple was built, God as Father was making plans for mankind to have a meaningful life with a talent to bring to life and to make a living to give something talent has created.  God intends us to bring forth more life.  If life is a garden, then love protects, upbuilds, strengthens, teaches, makes a path for not just the individual but collectively.  We don't have one garden and stay with that garden. We don't have one family industry of talent and leave the culture untouched.  We bring something worthy to the Lord God for His creation of our lives and the people we love.
