John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.
12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
16 For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has ever seen God; the only God who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.
The Archangel Gabriel stands in the presence of God our Father; and he has met some very interesting people.
Gabriel witnessed Zechariah's amazing miracle with prayer answered.
And Gabriel, The Archangel, witnessed a young Mary believe and wonder with innocence. This time Gabriel is privileged ~ "God has Highly Favored Mary."
This is tremendous Good News for several reasons and involves us today.
Daniel 9
Gabriel is met for the first time and goes to Daniel with good news, again, saying when the 2nd Exodus will be over. Daniel learns and tells us of a vast network of Angels. Of Angel positions as if the Heavenly Host is regulated and established with positions and jobs. Orderly as God tells us He is.
1 Corinthians 14:33
33 For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.
Father God must find people interesting.
Daniel is a slave in a lavish foreign culture seeing all types of behavior far from kosher and instead of being angry at his fate, apologizes for their sins. A slave apologizing to Father God for the reason he is a slave.
And all go away from God's messenger - enlightened.
What would you say to Gabriel? Far fetched...
Consider this - the absolute truth is not Daniel, not Zechariah, not Mary felt any day or any moment of their lives - The Archangel Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God Father Almighty - was ever just about to visit.
We who believe in Jesus, will, probably, speak with Gabriel one day.
Our Good News is Jesus is born in a manger, a place for domesticated animals.
Holiness greets every day regular life.
Surely Father God is reaching out to us, this generation today - when pets have never had more thought and attention lavished upon this formerly very lowly part of the family. Father God tenderly reaches for our heart. Explaining How High is the Most High. Then explaining these Heavenly Host - are part of our spiritual life. And this is interesting. More interesting is the depth of the plan to come to our lives. To put God's Holy Spirit into our souls. Available today warming us to speak with God of our concerns to look and see His answers and solutions.
The Awesome Power of God upholding all with His Word.
God's Love lives with us in conversations we call prayer. Father God reaches high and wide and deep. Our reachable God works daily sending Love.
We can do absolutely nothing to take care of God
To fob off all this kindness shallowly into an 'earned' category. We are, and will always be, "in the given to" category of God. Gifted with Love to Live Eternally with God our Father. We are loved, all we must do is reach back with Love.
Father God is not uninformed or unaware of the details of our lives. He keeps us for Himself. Our events are in His Hands.
Let us be Grateful. Every Day. Jesus is given to me and to you.
I will live and strive and I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!
Father God,
Bless us with Your Willingness, Grace and Mercy, we rely upon Jesus.
We Bless You for time to prepare for the coming rush of Holidays. Even in rainy tropical storms we know You are here lighting our souls with Joy.

We have peace knowing Your sufficiency. And gratitude for the Kindnesses given to us Today. Help us to be a blessing to others.
Thank You for our Conversations with Jesus You have given us in prayer. Amen.
Father God, we pray for Houston during this Tropical Storm.
For the safety of our lives and homes.

♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
