Psalm 97 ~ Love the Lord

Psalm 97

1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad!

2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

3 Fire goes before him and burns up his adversaries all around.

4 His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles. 5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.

7 All worshipers of images are put to shame, who make their boast in worthless idols; worship him, all you gods!

8 Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of your judgments, 
O LORD.

9 For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods.

10 O you who love the LORD, hate evil!

He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11 Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!

Wonderful Blessings to Pray for the New Year in the Song
Profoundly Lovely. Lovely.

I've had so many conversations this week. We have been Up, Down, Round, Back, Good, Blessed, Concerning, Worrying, Frightening, Joyful, Memories, Future, Full of Guests, let down, Health failing, Hope - all over the map.

And we are all at the time we are all having so many conversations.

Eventually, you reach the discussions of meaningful life. Happiness. Sustained Happiness.

What Paul had to say having observed Jerusalem and Promises, Historic Holy Spirit Places, Danger, Heavenly Antioch, Greece carried the Flame of Jesus for a 100 years and then flamed again, Spain. Victory over Caesar. House arrest. Spain. Joy. Remarkable roots there. More Roman roads. Friends. New Situations. Shipwreck. Mob Riots. Being Stoned. Writing from the homes of Beloved People. Joy. Jesus. Miracles for the Millenniums. Love for the people he spoke to of Jesus.

Philippians 4

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stay true to the Lord.

I love you and long to see you, dear friends, for you are my joy and the crown I receive for my work.

The God of peace will be with you.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.


The most important aspect Paul has learned -

I love you and long to see you, dear friends, for you are my joy and the crown I receive for my work.

When we love, God makes us fills us with Him.

Abba, our Father,

We ask for All Your Blessings in the Song. Astonishingly knowing Your Love.

To have living water of Jesus flow unendingly as Love. To be encouraged and helped as we do Your Willing Plan You do have for us all. You do more than we ask or imagine.

To know as Jesus spoke of Living Water and gave You a new Heaven and a new earth, we find Your Throne in Your Kingdom by walking beside the shining water leading to Your Home.

Flowing, filling, seeping in all areas of our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind, for ourselves and the ones we Love. Filling us.

We are born of Water and Spirit and enter the Kingdom of God.

As we are on Your Path, we ask Your help to stay on the Path. We ask Your Love to know the daily steps. And looking back on our lives, knowing we present our Soul to You.
