Psalm 130 ~ out of the depths, I cry to you, O Lord

Bethany Vintage Photo 1800's

Bethany. Not one of the cities Jesus spoke of. Bethany is probably very pleasing to Father God.

According to the Temple Scroll from Qumran, three places for the care of the sick, including one for lepers, are to be east of Jerusalem. The passage also defines a (minimum) radius of three thousand cubits (circa 1,800 yards) around the city within which nothing unclean shall be seen. Since Bethany was, according to John, fifteen stadia (about 1.72 miles) from the holy city, care for the sick there corresponded with the requirements of the Temple Scroll (the stadion being ideally 600 feet (180 m) or 400 cubits).

Bethany is the place Simon the Leper lived who gave Jesus dinner. Bethany is the home of Lazarus, Mary and Martha and a dinner of Thanksgiving for Lazarus being made alive.

Bethany is where a colt is found tied up for Palm Sunday.

Psalm 130

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!

2 O Lord, hear my voice!

Let your ears be attentive

to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,

O Lord, who could stand?

4 But with you there is forgiveness,

that you may be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,

and in his word I hope;

6 my soul waits for the Lord

more than watchmen for the morning,

more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!

For with the Lord there is steadfast love,

and with him is plentiful redemption.

8 And he will redeem Israel

from all his iniquities.

Waiting upon God. Something we are all familiar with. Not without results.

God is good with Mercy.

With the Lord there is steadfast love,

and with Him is plentiful redemption.

8 And He will redeem Israel

from all his iniquities.

Our Lord God - Jesus Son of God.

John 13:34

"A new command I give you: Love one another.

As I have loved you, so you must love one another."

Abba, 

Fill us with Love. We Pray for those we Love. The people You have given us. The Nation. The Believers of today. The Believers of Tomorrow.


1 John 3
18 Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.

19 And by this we will know that we belong to the truth, and will assure our hearts in His presence


Love - You are able to do more than we ask or imagine. More Heaven on earth. Your will be done in Jesus Christ.

We ask for our friend with cancer to be healed.

And Blessings also of Jesus on Alexander, our son, on his Birthday.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.
