for the Grandmother who raised him.
Luke 8
54 Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!” 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she got up.
Jesus raised the widow of Nain's son to arise.
God of Encouragement
God of Love
1 Timothy 2:8
Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands
1 Corinthians 16:13
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong
The Lord is not for hunker down and get by.
Isaiah 35:1-10
The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice
and blossom like the crocus;
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.
Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.
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.”
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped
Ezekiel 17:22-24
Thus says the Lord God: “I myself will take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and will set it out. I will break off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I myself will plant it on a high and lofty mountain. On the mountain height of Israel will I plant it, that it may bear branches and produce fruit and become a noble cedar.
And under it will dwell every kind of bird; in the shade of its branches birds of every sort will nest. And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord; I bring low the high tree, and make high the low tree, dry up the green tree, and make the dry tree flourish. I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it.”
Zechariah 9:16-17
On that day the Lord their God will save them, as the flock of his people; for like the jewels of a crown they shall shine on his land. For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty! Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the young women.
We are the Beloved of God. New Covenant. God tells us several times in the opening of the New Testament He is the Light of the world. Light in all of mankind.
Hebrews 1
11 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
Light of the world
Ezekiel 31:6
All the birds of the sky nested in its boughs, all the animals of the wild gave birth under its branches; all the great nations lived in its shade
Luke 13
18 Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it? 19 It is like a mustard seed that a man tossed into his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”
Hebrews 1
1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
“You are my Son,
today I have begotten you”?
Or again,
“I will be to him a father,
and he shall be to me a son”?
6 And again,
when he brings the firstborn into the world,
he says,
“Let all God's angels worship him.”
Abba, Our Holy, Holy Father,
Psalm 24:7
Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in!
Our Father, God of All, wants us to arise. In expectation. In Love. In Hope. In our words. In our deeds. In our encouragement. In the encouragement of others.
Father God has called Jesus to ascend to Him. We would want to do no less.
Psalm 3:3
You, O LORD, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head.
Psalm 123:1,2
To you lift I up my eyes, O you that dwell in the heavens
Psalm 34:5
Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed.
Our God calms the wind and the sea. For this we look to our Loving Father.
To speak to us in our cares.
To Love and fill our loved ones with His Goodness.
To Bless our Nation to Trust in Him every day.
To Encourage the people God has given us.
To fulfill His Prayer for more Heaven on earth.
To do His Will every day.
And pray all of the Holy Spirit all over our lives.
In Jesus. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
