Luke 12:22-31 ~ Life is more

 






2 Corinthians 3:6
He also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant (not of letter, but of Spirit). 
For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 




Luke 12:22-31


22 And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 

23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 

24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. 
Of how much more value are you than the birds! 

25 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 
If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, 
why are you anxious about the rest? 

27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 

29 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. 30 For all the nations of the world seek after these things,
 and your Father knows that you need them. 

31 Instead, seek His Kingdom, and these things will be added to you






2 Esdras 7
 Good News Translation of the Apocrypha


1 When I had finished speaking, the same angel that had been sent to me on the earlier nights appeared again.
2 He said, "Stand up, Ezra, and listen to what I have come to tell you."


3 "Go ahead, sir," I said. He continued, "Picture in your mind a broad, immense sea spreading over a vast area,  4 but with an entrance no wider than a river. 5 No one who wishes to enter that sea, whether to visit it or control it, can reach its broad expanse of water without passing through the narrow entrance.



6 Or take another example: Picture a city built on a plain. The city is full of all kinds of good things, 7 but the entrance to it is narrow and steep, with fire on one side and deep water on the other. 8 The one path between the fire and the water is so narrow that only one person at a time may walk on it.


9 If anyone inherits this city, he cannot take possession of his inheritance without passing through this dangerous entrance."


10 "That is right, sir," I said. 


"That is how it is with the people of Israel," he added.

11 "I made this world for their sake, but when Adam broke my commands, the world came under my judgment. 12 Then the entrances into this world were made narrow and difficult to travel. They were rough, dangerous, and few in number.


13 But the entrances to the great world to come are wide and safe and lead to immortality.


14 Everyone who lives must walk the narrow and meaningless ways of this world in order to receive the blessings stored up in the world to come.


15 So, Ezra, why are you upset and disturbed by the thought that you are mortal and must die?
16 Why don't you think about the age to come, rather than the present age?"


17 I answered, "Lord and master, in your Law you said that the righteous would receive all these blessings, but that the wicked would perish.


18 The righteous then can endure all the difficulties of this narrow way because they look forward to the broad and open life of the future, but the wicked must pass through the narrow way without any hope of seeing the broad open life."


19 The angel replied, "Do you think you are a better judge than God? Do you think you are wiser than God Most High?


20 It is better to let many people of the present age perish than to allow them to neglect the Law that God has given them. 
21 God has given clear commandments to everyone coming into this world, 
telling them what they should do to obtain life 






 The Great Isaiah Scroll show this amazing Scripture to be almost 25 feet long. 2,300 years old. And identical to the Bible in your hand today. The Scriptures convey the Words God has for us are steadfast and filled with Love.


Sennacheribs Prism Isaiah Bible Archaeology - A. Must. See....


One of the reasons the Dead Sea Scrolls were so important
 - it is so very, very old and matches the Biblical versions we have today.


You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart
 and with all your soul and with all your mind.


Abba, Father God,

By You all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
Jesus brings many sons to glory. 
For Jesus is come to our Father's glory with His angels, 
and He will reward each person according to what he has done.



Today:
We are praying for Dee and Wayne. Like Hebrews 11. For 20 years, we have seen Wayne donate 40 hours a week to Church Office difficult and demanding work for Volunteer Time. Wayne's Gracious Gift. We have seen Dee run Altar Guild. Bible Study and Daughter's of the Cross.  We have seen Dee study St. Stephen's Ministry, work Pro-Life and take Amazing Father Francis and Judith MacNutt Prayer  Ministry Class. And in this Ministry Class we prayed and found our group alone prayed for a 2nd time mouth cancer patient, who graciously accepted prayer for the first time and arrived at surgery to find no oral cancer. Healed. Completely. We prayed for an 89-year-old Priest to stay forever in bed dying of heart failure, who got up and began to go 2 miles a day in exercise and make trips to Texas and the grocery store. We prayed Hurricane Ike wouldn't crush our houses with trees and found this last summer, our answered prayers held as I lost a Magnolia without damage and Dee lost her two huge Oaks without damage. Hurricane Ike saw a tornado in our backyard, trees flung East, South and West and didn't damage our home. Our friend lost the stairs to her home's garage apartment and no damage to their home. 

We prayed over knitted blankets and heard the comfort and healing the hospital patients found in the Lord Jesus and in our group's prayers. We prayed for Elliott to live and Elliott found remission, we pray for total healing. Jesus heard us pray twice for financial restitution and found this 3 times. We prayed for Wayne to survive a botched pacemaker and he did. Jesus heard us pray for Wayne to survive his trauma for the hip operation and Wayne did well. Jesus heard us pray for Wayne's sudden bleeding eye and Jesus healed Wayne. Dee had a no big deal nose skin cancer and literally had half of her nose shaved off two summers ago like a skeleton. Dee's next two surgeries Jesus heard us all pray again 
and Jesus restored Dee's nose to a hundred percent of normal.

Jesus has been hearing us pray in Amazing and Wondrous Ways. We ask Jesus today for Wayne to be healed of the Covid he tested Positive for. Dee tested Positive for Covid and we pray for her Healing as well. We ask Jesus to allow Dee and Wayne to heal from this as easily as we have seen all His Prayers answered. 

Lord Jesus please heal, love, forgive, and heal them all
 in Your Love and Mercy. Amen.


We lift Elliott to be completely healed.
And Dee and Wayne.
All the people suffering with Covid, in all aspects.


“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among
 those with whom He is pleased!”

Father God, help us to do the Good Works You have prepared us to walk in. 


The People who are Your Beloved, to ALL
cover them with Your Name in strength and mercy. 

We live abundantly on the Word of God, You have provided.



We Pray for the Republic.
We the People all have Family and Loved Ones 
we have fought and lived and died
for our Freedoms.

We the People pray for the Election not to be allowed to be feared to be dishonest.
We pray for the signatures and times to be valid.
We pray for the observations to be valid and up close and bipartisan.
We pray for the Legislature Laws of this Nation to be Upheld
and not rigged with pandemic miseries.
One Nation Under God
with
Liberty and Justice for All.

We pray for Truth.
Knowing in the Truth is where Peace and Integrity 
with Love and Courtesy Dwell.

Jesus, please dwell in us.
Jesus, please dwell in those we Love.
Favor our Nation, dwell in us. Please.
We ask to know to seek You first in all aspects of Life.
Knowing we will see and be more of Heaven on earth.

We ask the Vaccine to be delivered smoothly 
and THANK GOD 
for the Vaccine.


  
Isaiah 40:31 
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; 
they shall walk and not faint.


Abba, Father God,

You have told us to always pray with Hope.


Jesus help us in this Nation to be in Your Word and see more Joy.
Covered in God's Love,
President Donald Trump, the First Lady and Their Family
Vice President Mike Pence, the Second Lady and Their Family.
All of Our Families.
The Presidential Team.
Dr. Robert Redfield, Dr. Deborah Birx, Dr. Anthony Fauci

Governor Abbott and all 50 Governors and Legislatures.
Senator Tim Scott

The end of Trouble.
Help this Virus end quickly, safely

We rest in the Hands of Our Good Father.

In Jesus Christ. Amen.



Proverbs 23:18
 Surely, there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

Branch of David, Jesus Christ, our Highest Name
Lord and Savior

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

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

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.

The Scriptures are Father God's letter to you. He wanted you to know more, to know He loves you.

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. <><
