Psalm 147 ~ The Lord builds





 

Psalm 147




Praise the Lord!
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.
2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
he gathers the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.

4 He determines the number of the stars;
he gives to all of them their names.

5 Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;
his understanding is beyond measure.
6 The Lord lifts up the humble;
he casts the wicked to the ground.

7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
make melody to our God on the lyre!

8 He covers the heavens with clouds;
he prepares rain for the earth;
he makes grass grow on the hills.
9 He gives to the beasts their food,
and to the young ravens that cry.

 His delight 
is not in the strength of the horse,
nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,
11 but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him,
in those who hope 

in His steadfast love.




Yes, yesterday we spoke of Survival.
How will we worship when we are bone deep annoyed?

We speak with Jesus, with our Father, in the Holy Spirit. How do we expect to be a place He would dwell in when each direction we look in has some strife?  How will the Lord delight in us when we travel and can't find the cap to the bottle, the toothpaste, the laundry detergent. 

When traffic suddenly is unreasonable. When everyone is out of their office when you call.

When the News is always annoying. And family has moved to Denver. And now you can't find the garden tool you worked with for the last thirty minutes? 

For two days, I bit back being annoyed by almost everything but breathing. I discovered how much I wanted to not be annoyed. How joyful life is when Joy is found. And as soon as the dark mood left, then I'd think of something that annoyed me. Much to be grateful for and, easier to be the bone deep rotten comment, which comes first and isn’t always spoken out loud.


Being alone seemed a much better solution than being annoyed. We traveled this weekend, last weekend to Disc Golf in Austin and this weekend to opening up my mother's house to the MLS Sales List in Dallas. Maybe it was having too much to do. But something crawled up my craw.

As we came home in the car, I found that I had to tell Jesus, tell My Father, what is annoying me and I made a list like shooting at apples circling me. I told My Father, I hate being annoyed, but I'm really, really, really, really annoyed and tired of being annoyed.  And You Love us to see Life is Joy. But here is the shot apples list. I told Abba, I wouldn't want to dwell in me. I need Your Love to help my heart stay open and not a Crab apple.  I finally told Jesus, I need help to be warm-hearted and open-hearted and a Delight to You. I really need help. And almost immediately, instead of suffering to serve the Lord with the ungrateful or the ungracious or the unhelpful, the Lord presented me with the abilities and opportunity to gratefully be kind to those I want to be kind with. I had opportunities to give Mercy, to find Goodness, to treasure memories and to give sincere compliments. And received a full bucket of Love Given.

And I was vastly relieved to be back in a cheerful path again. Taking me a full three or more hours to see, it wasn't my abundant joy and cheerfulness giving me back a right soul, Abba had given me some Love to bounce back. And I had to realize, I'd been gifted, not grown and grafted. Gifted. No work on my part, just Blessed.




1 John 5:14-15

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.



Part of what I had to say to Abba, was to complain about prayers answered and prayers given. Not the kind of prayer we think God would want. 


1 Peter 5:7 

Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.



Grateful for the Power of God's Truth. Mary and Martha and the sour attitude. 72 Disciples who complained and walked off. These Gospel events, told to us, without holding back. Not whitewash.  Simon, the Pharisee Host, who wasn't gracious even to the Son of God. Jairus, who wanted a favor.  Jesus tells us what happens in life. John Mark and Mark who wrote, The Gospel, after being criticized. 

Grateful God tells us what to do when Nicodemus is the one who will speak for Jesus, but only if he can come in dark of night.

God of Hope, God of Love, God of Encouragement. 






 Jesus was known to save His Beloved from water, as well.




God tells us this ~

The Word of God is alive and accurate. Warm and caring. Filled with rescue. We can Trust God. Rely upon Him. We see great and unsearchable things in our hands. A great surrounding by such a great witness - The unclouding of Witness. A help, a comforter of God to let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And lets us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. We will believe and God will help our unbelief.


1 Corinthians 13:13 

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

1 John 4:19 

We love because he first loved us.


Abba, Abba, Abba!

We ask Your Blessing.

We want to overtake our fears. Our doubts. To Defeat harm - disaster. To defeat our unbelief. We believe, Jesus, help us to believe more!!!

With Jesus - His Name - we will overtake the war of doubt.
Ukraine.

All of our days and seasons - with Jesus Christ - we will do this and see this in those we love. We pray this for the people God has given us. 

With Jesus, we endure to the end and we will be saved.

With Jesus, we have eternal life and wear - not only the helmet of salvation - the Crown of Life. We love You, Father God. And Your Word is our promise.

Abba, our prayers - with love for our Beloved - our hearts give us Your Reassurance - our prayer is love and in these words, our talk, will lead us on in deeds and in truth.

Blessed be our Father, His Son Jesus, giving His believers the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. 

Covering His good Creation with our prayers. 

His Spirit gives Life.
Help us to Seek You First
and we will finish well
in Jesus Christ!

Bless families!

In Jesus. Amen.

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. <><
