Psalm 132
A Song of Ascents.
1 Remember, O LORD, in David's favor, all the hardships he endured, 2 how he swore to the LORD and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, 3 "I will not enter my house or get into my bed, 4 I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, 5 until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob."
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7 "Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!"
8 Arise, O LORD, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. 9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your saints shout for joy. 10 For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your anointed one. 1
1 The LORD swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: "One of the sons of your body I will set on your throne. 12 If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them, their sons also forever shall sit on your throne."
13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place: 14 "This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it. 15 I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread. 16 Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy. 17 There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed. 18 His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine."
Daniel 7:9-10
9 “As I looked,
thrones were placed
And the Ancient of Days took his seat
His clothing was white as snow,
and the hair of his head like pure wool;
His throne was fiery flames;
its wheels were burning fire.
10 A stream of fire issued
and came out from before him
a thousand thousands served him,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him;
the court sat in judgment,
and the books were opened.
Revelation 3:5
The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments,
and I will never blot his name
out of the book of life.
The Field of Jaar. Bethlehem, Israel.
Not a difficult name for a Marine to remember. The field young David began to know God.
To learn of the Nature of His Word and of His Mercy. And care for his father's flock.
We are sure our infancy has long past. And only yesterday, Jesus Christ, Son of God was born in Bethlehem.
2 Peter 3:8
Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice:
With the Lord a day is like a thousand years,
and a thousand years are like a day.
And as God has mercy on us, The Ancient of Days surely knows the frailty of mankind.
Hebrews 4:16
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace,
that we may receive mercy and find grace
to help in time of need.
2 Corinthians 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of mercies
and God of all comfort
Luke 7:12-15
When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them.
Just as we are God's Beloved people, we are to have pasture with God as David did.
The Field of Jaar and we find His tender compassion.
We are always God's Child. Our beginning and our end are not far from His Heart.
What we have as a treasured memory - is present in Father God's idea of time. He is not far from us.
Isaiah 46:10
Declaring the end
from the beginning
and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
and I will
accomplish all my purpose"
Abba, Father,
With Your Presence, we ask Your Blessing, Father.
We Rejoice in the Lord always
Rejoice!
Our Lord God is at hand
we will not be anxious about anything,
in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving
We let our requests be made known to God.
We will not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
The Lord's Face Graciously Shine upon our cares, Loved ones, this Nation and the People of God.
His Blessings be upon us all.
In Jesus. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
