2 Corinthians 4:16
Our inner self is being renewed day by day.
Psalm 118
1 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 Let Israel say,
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
3 Let the house of Aaron say,
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
4 Let those who fear the Lord say,
“His steadfast love endures forever.”
5 Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
the Lord answered me and set me free.
6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
7 The Lord is on my side as my helper;
I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.
8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.
10 All nations surrounded me;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
11 They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
12 They surrounded me like bees;
they went out like a fire among thorns;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
13 I was pushed hard,a so that I was falling,
but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation.
15 Glad songs of salvation
are in the tents of the righteous:
“The right hand of the Lord does valiantly,
16 the right hand of the Lord exalts,
the right hand of the Lord does valiantly!”
17 I shall not die, but I shall live,
and recount the deeds of the Lord.
18 The Lord has disciplined me severely,
but he has not given me over to death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter through them
and give thanks to the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord;
the righteous shall enter through it.
21 I thank you that you have answered me
and have become my salvation.
22 The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
23 This is the Lord’s doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save us, we pray, O Lord!
O Lord, we pray, give us success!
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We bless you from the house of the Lord.
27 The Lord is God,
and he has made his light to shine upon us.
Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,
up to the horns of the altar!
28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;
you are my God; I will extol you.
29 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!
John 8:12
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
In the 1970's - Billy Graham was having a good day in Dallas. Graham showed the crowd in the State Fair of Texas Colosseum the Light of Christ is always visible. He had the lights turned off and held up one mere candle and asked to the darkened Colosseum if the one candle could be seen. Lives changed all over to be strengthened in Jesus' Love.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Today. This is the day the Lord has made.
Jesus said
Matthew 19:26
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Today. This is the Lord's doing.
Genesis 18:14
Is anything too hard for the LORD
Today. The Lord is God and he has made his light to shine upon us.
Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Today. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Mark 10:27
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."
Today. You are my God, and I will give thanks to You!
Luke 1:37
For no word from God will ever fail.
Today. Jesus is the Cornerstone.
1 Samuel 14:6
Perhaps the LORD will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.
Today. The Lord answered me and set me free.
Jeremiah 32:17
"Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you."
Today I was delighted to watch Gross Pointe Blank - the movie. Explaining where moral flexibility has bizarre and good comedy results. I love the Bridges God puts in life. This was in yesterday's Post. Today the terra cotta pot on my back patio - I have been shopping to replace since March gave way in a storm. Home Depot had the exact pot I wanted in March for 1/3 of the cost. Waiting prayerfully is A JOY!!! Gracious people helped me get this into my car. It is the right size too. I've wanted a reason to get this Roman clay post for about 16 years.
Delighted to Pick the Post in advance and find the old and new photos are identical and give Heart, warmth, Love and Joy to the bringing forth of the Post! God is with us in all aspects of our lives! God makes bridges to show He is working and with His Steadfast Love.
Blessed to have Family from Japan and Central Texas. A Family week is planned!!!
My son cut down a small dead tree. Our puppy Standard Poodles are always smiling and we are surviving finding puppy teeth from the floor to the bottom of our feet.
We have a new huge employer in our area and to see the young families blessed by opportunity and little bitty children - is a Blessing.
God tells us when we have lost something - like patience, Joy, fortitude - we have the chance to sweep our soul, our home soul, until this is found again. I always picture the search with a Shepherd's Lantern.
Each day gives us the opportunity to reach for truth in our beings. To sweep out the casual remark. To Rise Up in God's Plan. And with the room for a new place of Faith and Love - we find our Joy and Love returns. God did tell us the work of life is Believe God and lean on Him.
So blessed to hear of our friend numbered in the Greatest to be eating and drinking, breathing and blood pressure is good. God is strengthening a strong man of faith and his wife. Our prayers for his family, too.
Zechariah 8
"Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Behold, I am going to save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west; 8 and I will bring them back and they will live in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God in truth and righteousness.'"
Father God,
We give thanks to God always for Jesus.
We give thanks for the people in our prayers. Our friend who numbers among the Greatest of God's Children. Who is out of the ICU and eating again.
We will remember before You, God our Father, the living parables in our lives of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
We are thankful for the Beloved of God, chosen because the Gospel came to them not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction.
The Lord God, our Father knows us as we receive the Word of God and return good instead of the hand of woe.
Now may the God of peace, Himself sanctify us completely in Lord Jesus Christ.
He who calls us is faithful; He will surely do it.
Thank You, Father God for Grace, Mercy, Forgiveness, Joy, Love and Answered Prayer.
Jesus gave us the Joy to pray for "More Heaven on earth and Your Good Will be done."
We know You will bring this to us, our loved ones and the Children You have given. To our Nation trusting in You and the world looking for the Brightness of Jesus to Shine.
Amen.
I've had this Gif photo for about a year and a half. This has always reminded me of our tall friend who numbers with the Greatest of God.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
