Acts 7:48-50 ~ the place of His rest




We have talked about God's purpose for us in life being the first verses of John 14.

We are invited to God's House - why wouldn't God send us circumstances to show what foundation we built upon and where we built to eternity.

We have talked about the Exodus being God's care for the quality of life available.

Is God interested in Sustained Happiness?






We are always seeking the Balance.

God is telling us to build - God is telling us to risk.

In fact, God tells us after we build on the Rock of Christ that the Holy Spirit comes into Mose's life as fire. And also to the Disciples of Jesus Christ. Hebrews, Paul with the Holy Spirit, tells us our God is a consuming fire.



And with this fire, we wonder if we have done what pleases God, the Almighty. If we are humble as we consider the Word of God:



Acts 7:48-50


48 Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made by hands, as the prophet says,

49 “‘Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool.
What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord,
or what is the place of my rest?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?’


We do not Give God happiness to buy His Joy. Abraham believed God and God considered him righteous. Abraham is a prime example. He went where God asked Him to Go. Abraham argued to God the Almighty for Mercy for others.

David believed God's major component is Love and Mercy.

And the Scriptures support the Scriptures. Abraham went to lengths to move where God told him. David went to lengths to have the anointing of God. Moses? What does he tell us of the Blessings of God? Actually, Moses travels far to tell of the Blessings of God and these are hidden in all the Books we say are boring. Filled with problems we don't face. Filled with the Law. The Truth is the Blessings of God are surrounded by works of faith in every day life.

Did they fail? Yes, all of the people of God have failed. All of them. And in belief rise in God again. We all deserve the judgment of God and we all have His Grace in faith.






Why would God surround the Blessings of God with the Law we cannot uphold? Why would God place the Blessings of God surrounded with boring rules. It's probably an analogy. We can't!!! Why Try???

The Grace of Jesus on Easter morning saying, "Your Father and mine." What Grace of a man flogged, beaten, mocked, giving HIS Life and giving us Grace. Worth the effort of try for the Goodness of God to us. He sees us. He wants us.

And one more case for why try? If you had to pick some of the horrors to avoid of the Pentateuch to come home and live with you, you'd probably pick to try for God. God has a clue.





Why did God our Father surround the absolute deepest and specific Blessings of Father God around 5 Books becoming increasingly difficult to read. The accusation is they are tedious and boring. An analogy of Life. The thinking we do at traffic lights is our life. What we think of as we begin the day. Think in the shower. The chores we repeat. Caution: Life is Happening.

We lay down our lives to have life. We give this life to others. No greater Love is to lay down our lives for one another.

And in this is tucked ... Jabez. The passion of the 1990s. Blessed by being more noble. Tucked into each day is the amazement of the Blessings of God. Keep trudging. Jabez had sustained happiness.

Who else has sustained happiness? Recently I had the privilege of praying over prayers offered to God. I wept for the Graciousness of the Prayers. The real prayers said, "I know Jesus. I am ok. I have people I love who don't know Jesus. Who live outside of His Grace and have tremendous difficulties." Just like Abraham. Just like David. Mercy for others.






Look at that Happiness and Consuming Fire photos match. Hmmm.

The Consuming Fire of God does not consume. Not Moses. Not the Bush. Not the Disciples. Jesus told us His yoke is easy. Many very devote Christians say to themselves, "What did I do?" St. Augustine answered. We have regular lives and if we intensely love the few who are interested in us - we have done the call of Jesus. When we offer hope to the people we have been given by God in our lives - we have done well. God is God.


How will we please God? We believe Father God.

We believe, we believe, we believe God has established all this life -- Jesus Proclaims, Lives, Tells our hearts - God is for you!!! GOD LOVES YOU.  1 Peter 1 tells us God's plan is so very precious to you, Angels longed to read of this plan for a very, very long time.



Abba,

Our Abba, we pray with Jesus - to increase the Holy Spirit.

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;

God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”

You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,

The heavens are the work of your hands;
they will perish, but You remain;

And in Jesus Christ - our years will have no end.

Jesus upholds the universe by the word of Your Power.


We pray for our Loved ones, our cares to matter to you,
We pray for the people You have given us.
Blessing us to delight in what You've given
Jesus Bless our Communities, neighborhoods, Church, State, Nation.

Jesus  His Glory and His Love.
In Jesus we pray, Amen.





Acts 7:48-50

48 Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made by hands, as the prophet says,

49 “‘Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool.
What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord,
or what is the place of my rest?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?’













♔ Lord Jesus Saves!

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
