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.
Has been a year, we have all suffered.
And we have Hope God has not left us. We believe in time, redemption will be God's Will and Plan.
Mary and Joseph couldn't point to the year of Jesus being expected and born as joyous. Instead, they felt confused, upset, and Mary was running from Mary's family. Divorce considered. Jesus was born in a stable during tax season to an unwed mother. Mary was surrendered to a serious donkey ride of 80 miles by her father and mother. The family didn't attend a wedding and didn't show up for Jesus being born.
Mary and Joseph didn't stay to accept the rule of Herod. They didn't go back and attend to being part of Nazareth. They didn't risk Jesus to this comfort. Even if Mary was, “Pondering all the impossible things in her heart.”
They were fighting the good fight. Like Abraham, they were going where God moved them. Did they stop to consider Isaiah, “Out of Egypt, I will call My Son.”
After the amazing, wondrous Angelic Host, the Angels, the Magi avoiding Herod, the presentation of Jesus in God's Temple; Mary and Joseph did what we have done today. They drew into their family and determined in the current events how they would best prosper and hold their family together.
Mary and Joseph, like Mary's family were thought to be Merciful and Pleasing to God.
God defines this in Luke 1:
They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord.
The Essenes had left the Temple of God to put together the Dead Sea Scrolls saying the Temple was without the Holy Spirit. And yet, Simeon attended God there and worshiped. And so did Zechariah, the Priest of God. And Anna. The Essenes had a god-given purpose and so did the Priests who were presented Jesus as a child of God in the Temple. And in faith, Luke 3 begins:
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
The Book of Hebrews tells us life in the Temple went on after the birth of Jesus and for a small amount of time after Jesus had gone to be with Father God in His Kingdom.
The Hope in God led them forward. And His plans for a Hope and Future.
Therefore, do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.
36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
37 “For yet a little while,
And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe in the saving of the soul.
Hebrews 12
11No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it.
12 Therefore strengthen your limp hands and weak knees. 13 Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
The way forward!
In a weary path. Believing the harvest of righteousness and peace, trained to know the Word of God and know His Power in His Word upholds the Universe. Making straight paths, speak the truth to one another. Let Love be genuine. We don't overcome weariness with false heroics. We make sincere effort. Not accepting disabling injustices as if easy. Not treating what needs to be healed by God as already healed. Believing the Goodness of God is arriving. Righteousness and peace. Sincerity.
When we think of Jesus in His Private Years of His Family in team building, we are given insight twice in the Scriptures:
Matthew 11
54 Coming to His hometown,
He taught the people in their synagogue, and they were astonished. “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers?” they asked. 55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? 56 Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”
Jesus had life in a peaceful Joy we find so Encouraging!
Isaiah 45:22
Look unto me, and be ye saved,
all the ends of the earth:
for I am God,
and there is none else.
We might not be moving in great distances,
however, Jesus wasn't either.
God simply called Him and this worked!
Today we ask of You a Blessing and Receive. We find our Joy.
We will place our Trust in You.
Jesus with the people we Love. Jesus with our cares and concerns. Jesus with the people You have given us. To You, Our Father, Who can do more than we ask or imagine.
