Psalm 149 ~ Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands



Psalm 149

Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the godly!

2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!
3 Let them praise his name with dancing,
making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!

4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation.
5 Let the godly exult in glory;
let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats
and two-edged swords in their hands,
7 to execute vengeance on the nations
and punishments on the peoples,
8 to bind their kings with chains
and their nobles with fetters of iron,
9 to execute on them the judgment written!

This is honor for all his godly ones.

Praise the Lord!






Isaiah 6
In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory!”

4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”





Psalm 63
My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
6 when I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
7 for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
8 My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.


Today was a lovely day. A beautiful day. Our Pastor became Bishop Clark Lowenfield. A life's work, A Calling by the Lord! Was being fitted perfectly into the puzzle and adventure of life. And the joy on Clark's face. 



Ephesians 6:17
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.


Isaiah 25:9
In that day they will say, "Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation."



We gathered, we fixed food and we saw old friends. And everyone rejoiced. We all agree this was like a double wedding and filled the large Church.

One of the reasons, when you get together for a large gathering with lots of people, you are usually at a wedding or a funeral. And the talk goes along the lines of the occasion.

I went to the funeral a long time ago of a friend's mother. She was rather young and died unexpectedly. She had been very, very active in her Christian Church. Her minister praised her saying, "You could always count on this lovely lady - her belief was right or wrong - her Church!"

Nothing could be further from what is pleasing to Father God. He expects us to walk by faith and discernment.

I spoke with a lovely lady today who left the Church, primarily because grief for her almost life long departed lovely husband. And there is a problem with the way America looks at grief. If we loose someone we dearly love, tears are appropriate for around two years. It has become rather fashionable, I heard in a prayer circle recently, to dredge up a grieved person's hurts, and say sadly we just don't know how we will watch this person not progressing. Not progressing? Grief is a two year process. What goes around comes around, deal gently with grief.

One thing we all agree upon, you go to Church, you are going to encounter people. What other building material is there for the Church??  You can count on being rubbed the wrong way. However, you can count on being loved as well. The people who love Jesus make mistakes.We are people. And We are the Children of God.

Jeremiah 31:19-20
After I strayed,
I repented;
after I came to understand,
I beat my breast.
I was ashamed and humiliated
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
20 Is not Ephraim my dear son,
the child in whom I delight?
Though I often speak against him,
I still remember him.
Therefore my heart yearns for him;
I have great compassion for him,”
declares the Lord.

Isaiah 33:5
The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high; he will fill Zion with his justice and righteousness.

Matthew 23:37
How often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings






Colossians 1

To God’s holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ:

Grace and peace to you from God our Father.

We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people— 5 the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel 6 that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.

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

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. <><
