Proverbs 19:14
House and wealth are inherited
from fathers,
but a prudent wife
is from the LORD.
Matthew 1
The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram, and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, and Jesse the father of David the king.
And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph, and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos, and Amos the father of Josiah, and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.
And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.
So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel”
(which means, God with us).
When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called His Name Jesus.
Psalm 27:8
You have said,
“Seek My Face.”
My heart says to You,
“Your Face, Lord, do I seek.”

The sons of Ishi: Zoheth and Ben-zoheth. 21 The sons of Shelah the son of Judah: Er the father of Lecah, Laadah the father of Mareshah, and the clans of the house of linen workers at Beth-ashbea; 22 and Jokim, and the men of Cozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who ruled in Moab and returned to Lehem (now the records are ancient). 23 These were the potters who were inhabitants of Netaim and Gederah. They lived there in the king's service.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.
He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
Leviticus 26:3-5
If you walk in my statutes and observe my commandments
and do them,
I will give you your rains in their season,
and the land shall yield its increase,
and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
Your threshing shall last to the time of the grape harvest,
and the grape harvest shall last to the time for sowing.
And you shall eat your bread to the full
and dwell in your land securely.
3 John 1:2
Beloved,
I pray that all may go well with you
and that you may be in good health,
as it goes well
with your soul.
1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your anxieties on Him,
because He cares for you.
James 1:12
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial,
for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life,
which God has promised to those who love Him.
This week, all over the United States, people are facing winter storms. Some worry about the cost of food and energy. Some worry about travel safety, personal safety and auto safety. Some worry about roof stability. Some want more insulation, no grants available from new climate czars, in the face of rising costs. And others live in dread of water pipes causing massive damage.
Within the week, Edward went from perfectly health at 2 pm and at 5 pm had fainted in the ER, when I finally found him, there was blood on the floor, blood on the gurney and 3 nurses looked horrified at nude Edward bleeding copiously from what turned out to be ruptured colon, suddenly. Admitted immediately after a heart ultrasound, which went well, to Critical Care. Home in 2 days with a prescription. And so truly grateful to have had the bleeding stop and care had been given.
This is the season of concerns. When life has gone directions we didn't plan.
This is the time to look at all the words, all the events and seek His Face and Blessing. Because the Blessings are there.
John 8:12
"I am the light of the world:
