Psalm 97 ~ be glad

 








Psalm 97






1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; 
let the many coastlands be glad!

2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around Him

 Righteousness and justice 
are the foundation of His throne.

3 Fire goes before him 
and burns up his adversaries all around.

4 His lightnings light up the world; 
the earth sees and trembles.

5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

6 The heavens proclaim His righteousness, 
and all the peoples see His glory.

7 All worshipers of images are put to shame,
 who make their boast in worthless idols; 
worship Him, all you gods!


8 Zion hears and is glad, 
and the daughters of Judah rejoice, 
because of your judgments, 
O LORD.

9 For You, O LORD, 
are most high over all the earth; 
You are exalted far above all gods.

10 O you who love the LORD, 
hate evil! 

He preserves the lives of His saints; 
He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11 Light is sown for the righteous, 
and joy 
for the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in the LORD,
 O you righteous, 
and give thanks 
to His Holy Name!





2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around Him

Verse 2 gives us a new way of seeing winter skies.




When I was a child I spake as a child and drove my mother to distraction over the Nativity Set. The angel in our Nativity Set looked like my father's mother. I was very young and my mom would find me with that angel in my hand - she didn't want me to play with this because it was clay. One drop and grandmother/angel/clay would be over. Nativity Sets were my Thing.

My mother had a lovely Nativity, but as I grew into being an adult and married, she wanted the Grandmother, Mother-in-law clay angel.  After my mother died, her caregiver asked me what I was going to find first. I found Grandmother Bit's angel. And this little clay angel has survived 5 decades.




Which leads us to this:

If the Shepherds saw the Angels - why didn't they describe them? Where they Tall? Evidently, there were a lot of Angels. And how did they feel, seeing all the Angels?

And you know, Scripture repeats and repeats -
until something catches our ears, hearts, soul and we are warmed like Jesus traveling lively to Emmaus in Victory.



The actual Path John the Disciple took to the top of His mountain on Patmos, where John chose to live.




We know people who have met the same type situation, and wanted to talk about this.



John said this:

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

The true Light, which gives Light to everyone, was coming into the world.

We have seen His glory, 
glory as of the only Son from the Father, 
full of grace and truth.

For from His fullness 
we have all received, 
grace upon grace.






Peter was also in the presence of the Kingdom of Heaven Hosts. And he explained in:

2 Peter 1

you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

12 So I will always remind you of these things, 
even though you know them 
and are firmly established in the truth 
you now have. 

 I think it is right 
to refresh your memory 
as long as I live 
in the tent of this body

16 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you 
about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ 
in power, 
but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 

He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him 
from the Majestic Glory, saying,
“This is my Son, 
whom I love; 
with Him 
I am well pleased.”

18 We ourselves heard this voice
 that came from heaven
 when we were with Him
 on the sacred mountain.

19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, 
and you will do well to pay attention to it, 
as to a Light shining 
in a dark place, 
until the day dawns 
and the morning star 
rises in your hearts. 

20 Above all, 
you must understand
 that no prophecy of Scripture 
came about by the prophet’s 
own interpretation of things. 

21 For prophecy never had its origin
 in the human will, 
but prophets, though human, 
spoke from God a
s they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

We credit Peter with making so many mistakes, we draw comfort. When Jesus spoke of Bethsaida, He said the hometown of Peter, Andrew and Philip in that order. The most minute Word of Jesus is inspiring, warming, gracious and Loving. Peter is not all that bad - he tells Jesus and Moses and Elijah in despair of what to say, in fear, - "Let's put up tents!?"  Peter is inspired, he is right. When we find faith. When we have the moments where we have reached the Truth and are in faith - we want to stay - we want the assurance. The comfort is God stays. We can grow in the moments we find Jesus in our souls, we see and feel and know His "Love, Joy, Peace, Steadfastness Diligence, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control." 

We have this in us and we know we grow and mature and these moments stay with us always.









Abba, Father,

Jesus Bless us, we ask:
Jesus Bless us and Keep us
Jesus make His Face Shine upon us
Jesus be gracious to us as always.

Jesus lift His Face and smile upon us,
Jesus give us Peace.
His Peace.
Jesus cover us in His Highest Name.

Jesus Bless us always we pray:

Jesus, please, for ourselves,
Jesus, please, our Loved ones,
Jesus, please, our Communities,
Jesus, please, our neighborhoods,
Jesus, please, our city and county,
Jesus, please, the People You have Given us.
Jesus, please, the Nation.
Jesus, please, strengthen the world asking 
and praying with You in Abba.

Increasing the Peace of the Believing world 
- Light of Christ spilling to all.

Joy in our daily Life believing the Word and Promises of You.

We Thank You. 
Amen.









♔ Lord Jesus Saves †











Thank You Lord Jesus

You are God

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

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. <><
