Psalm 139:1-18,23
O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
5 You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.
7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
13 For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
I awake, and I am still with you.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!
This month the Pew Report Studied Inflation 2022
Now consider this:
How is all this change happening, and everyone has managed to stay home?
Now let's add in a very interesting Google Search.
What is one of the most trending interests on the internet now? Politics? The list is about Ukraine.... and Cinco de Mayo.
President Franklin Roosevelt helped bring Cinco de Mayo celebrations to the U.S. in 1933. The holiday started to be celebrated in the U.S. after President Roosevelt created the “Good Neighbor Policy” in 1933 to improve relations with Latin American countries.
Cinco de Mayo became an official national holiday in 2005 in the USA. Cinco de Mayo isn't a Mexican holiday.
Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston hold mega celebrations. As you might expect, some American cities hold bigger celebrations than others when it comes to Cinco de Mayo
These days, the occasion has come to be a celebration of Mexican culture in general, so you’re unlikely to see military-themed parades or battle re-enactments here but rather a wide-range of cultural representations, from dance to dining. The holiday has significance for the Chicano Rights movement.
We have so many things we could look at. And what is trending on Google searches is finding Life. Ukraine and Kim Kardashian - how are other people doing? Athletics.
One of the tests of long life - when someone looks at news, do they look to humor first? Looks like, we are changing back to normalcy.
With all that change, you'd think house sales would be vastly increased. People are asking for home to remain. A new trend worth thinking about.
Home is where families grow. The Season of looking for Life. For the care we want others to experience.
Colossians 3:12
Therefore as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness
and patience.
Isaiah 41
9 I brought you from the ends of the earth and called you from
its farthest corners.
I said, ‘You are My servant.’ I have chosen and not rejected you.
10 Do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you; I will surely help you;
I will uphold you with My right hand of righteousness.
Hebrews 6:4,5
those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age—
Psalm 119:103
How sweet are Your words to my taste--sweeter than honey in my mouth!
Proverbs 16:20
Whoever heeds instruction will find success,
and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.
Jeremiah 17:7
But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in Him.
Bennington, Vermont, just added itself
to the long list of those
remembering
Ukraine.
Abba, Father,
Isaiah 41
9 I brought you from the ends of the earth and called you from its farthest corners.
I said, ‘You are My servant.’ I have chosen and not rejected you.
10 Do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you; I will surely help you;
I will uphold you with My right hand of righteousness.
