Psalm 130
A Song of Ascents.
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.
Genesis 28:11-13
10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran. 11 When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. 12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
13 There above it stood the Lord, and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. 15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” 17 He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”
Genesis 31:12-14
12 And he said, ‘Look up and see that all the male goats mating with the flock are streaked, speckled or spotted, for I have seen all that Laban has been doing to you. 13 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and where you made a vow to me. Now leave this land at once and go back to your native land.’”
John 1:50-51
50 Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” 51 And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
Luke 6:12
In these days he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.
Abba,
You began with Your Words, "Let there be Light."
And the Children of God were told to inhabit the earth and fill it. The Exodus, the Children of Israel walked down into the depths of the Red Sea, to rise to climb back onto land. A series of seasons.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the journey from Nazareth was up in elevation to Bethlehem. Jesus was buried in a tomb with a hill on top of Him. And Jesus Rose again to New Life.
We will have seasons of all kind of life. In all seasons, we have Your Love.
In the Words of Jesus to pray always with Hope, we ask more Jesus and more Holy Spirit and more of Your Joy.
We pray over our concerns and cares and we lift up the cares of those we Love. Knowing You hear us. And will tenderly care for us.
We pray for our families and those we Love with great tenderness and know Your Love is Steadfast and filled with compassion.
We pray for those in New School Beginnings. For those in steady paths of life. We lift of those who have health concerns to be made well in Jesus Christ, Son of God.
We ask for Your Love on our Nation. And the Nations seeking Jesus. We bless You remembering the many times You have healed and acted for the People we Love. And Give Great Thanks to Pray with all of Creation. More Heaven on earth and with Your Good Will.
In Jesus Christ, we have our Blessings. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
