Psalm 148 ~ His majesty is above earth and heaven

 






Psalm 148




Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise Him in the heights!
2 Praise Him, all His angels;
praise Him, all His hosts!





3 Praise Him, sun and moon,
praise Him, all you shining stars!
4 Praise Him, you highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens!





5 Let them praise the Name of the Lord!
For He commanded and they were created.
6 And He established them forever and ever;
He gave a decree, and it shall not pass away.






7 Praise the Lord from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all deeps,
8 fire and hail, snow and mist,
stormy wind fulfilling His Word!




9 Mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars!
10 Beasts and all livestock,
creeping things and flying birds!






11 Kings of the earth and all peoples,
princes and all rulers of the earth!
12 Young men and maidens together,
old men and children!


13 Let them praise the Name of the Lord,
for His name alone is exalted;
His majesty is above earth and heaven.




14 He has raised up a horn for His people,
praise for all His saints,
for the people of Israel who are near to Him.
Praise the Lord!




Lord  I want to be in that number!



Psalm 19

The heavens declare the glory of God; 

and the firmament sheweth his handywork.







Isaiah 49:10-11
For He who has pity on them will lead them,
and by springs of water will guide them.
And I will make all my mountains a road,
and my highways shall be raised up.



Psalm 11

In the Lord I take refuge;
how can you say to my soul,
    “Flee like a bird to your mountain"




Psalm 97:6

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



Deuteronomy 32:1
Listen, you heavens, and I will speak; hear, 
you earth, the words of My Mouth.




Ezekiel 43:2
And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the east.
 And the sound of His coming was like the sound of many waters, 
and the earth shone with His glory.


Revelation 21:11

It shone with the glory of God, 
and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel,
 like a jasper, clear as crystal.



Psalm 19:5

Which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.



Revelation 21:2

I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, 
coming down out of heaven from God, 
prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.



Isaiah 43

Now, thus says the LORD, your Creator, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel, 
"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; 
I have called you by name; you are Mine! 

"When you pass through the waters, 
I will be with you; 

And through the rivers, they will not overflow you.

When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched,

 Nor will the flame burn you. 

"For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, 
your Savior"




Abba, Father,

We live in a historic time,
when the skies can be fearsome.

And people rely upon each other to recover.
Bless those who Help.

We listen to Your Words,
We seek to find Your Love 
and Your Mercy

The Blessings of Jesus
and to Know
You 
Hear
Our Prayer.

The weather is hot and storms
are occurring on all levels.

Bless us and Keep us we ask.

In the Highest Name of Jesus. 
Amen.

Malachi 3 ~ Every Knee will Bow at the Name of Jesus Christ

 





Malachi 3




“Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to His Temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight

 Behold, He is coming, says the Lord of Hosts.


But who can endure the day of His coming
And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the Lord.[and they will belong to the Lord in bringing their offers of righteousness] 

4 Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord as in the days of old and as in former years.


5 “Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, 
the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, 
and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.



6 “For I the Lord do not change; 

Therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.

 7 From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. 




Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts.




But you say, ‘How shall we return?’ 8 Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions. 9 You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. 10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. 


And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. 11 I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of hosts.


 12 Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of Hosts.




13 “Your words have been hard against me, says the Lord. 

But you say, ‘How have we spoken against you?’

14 You have said, ‘It is vain to serve God. What is the profit of our keeping His charge or of walking as in mourning before the Lord of Hosts? 15 And now we call the arrogant blessed. Evildoers not only prosper but they put God to the test and they escape.’”



16 Then those who feared the Lord spoke with one another. 

The Lord paid attention and heard them, 
and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who feared the Lord and esteemed His Name.


 17 “They shall be mine, says the Lord of Hosts, 
in the day when I make up my treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him. 18 Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.



Do you remember the day you found out your body was mortal? I remember being 4 years old and coming home from visiting further down my street, a question to ask Daddy. And I waited for him to come home and sit in his favorite chair. I began by asking if I would die one day. He was hit for a pause. Yes, we all die. I remarked I realized that today. Another pause. A larger pause. My father asked, didn't you realize this before? I said I realized both my parents would pass on, die but today the grand realization seemed to say, 'me too.'  My father added in that he didn't particularly enjoy this conversation, but if I had realized before that he and my mother would DIE, why did it take this amount of time to realize the me too aspect? I said because you and mother are old. My father had definitely shown I irritated him, but he now he laughed. And he called to my mother in the kitchen as he laughed. "Anne, Anne, come here, Anne Laurel just realized today she is going to die someday. But she Knew we would die. Because.... WE ARE OLD." And my mother looked at both of us, looked back at my dad, and they roared with laughter. Hilarity.

I didn't laugh with. I had found out I was mortal. Which led to the compassion of my parents who assured me, this was so many, many years far down the line.


25 years later, my brother and I were sitting in front of a car mechanic's garage with a view of Love Field Airport in Dallas.  My brother was 22 years old. And we were not saying much, but we both had glass bottles of Sunkiss Soda. My brother remarked that he had always enjoyed this tremendously when he was very, very young. I asked how we ended up with this beverage, It as the only one in the dispenser. I asked about Coca Cola. Nope. None. We continued to sit in silence and watch airplanes in the distance. The owner of the shop, his name was Butler, he came out and said Coca Cola was too expensive. We nodded. He said he had never seen a quieter group of people. My brother explained our father died yesterday. Mr. Butler had profound, profound condolences. We were appreciative.

As Mr. Butler departed, my brother said this is the weirdest day in the world. Yes, I did agree. And said not much more. My brother said, it's like that song. I said you mean the birthday song that says, 

"This is the first day of the rest of your life 
This is the first day of the rest of your life 
Cause even in the dark you can still see the light 
It's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright."

John said he didn't know that song. I said it's on the radio. What else does it say, John asked?

 "It don't have a job;
don't pay your bills;
won't buy you a home in Beverly Hills.

Won't fix your life
in five easy steps.
Ain't the law of the land
or the government.

But it's all you need and...

Love will hold us together
make us a shelter to weather the storm.
And I'll be my brother's keeper
so the whole world will know that we're not alone."


My brother said, well, Dad had times of not finding a job. True. Daddy drank. But he seemed to land a few steps up each time. John asked how is this a Birthday Song? I said it just is. He said he sure didn't know it. John said, never mind, with irritation, "What I meant is, this is the rest of our life, we know Dad is dead. And that isn't going away. We always wonder as children, what will happen to them? And now he is permanently gone."

I said yes, that's why I remembered the song. "Ok, then. (growl) good song."

The memorable part to me was explaining this to prayer group. No one knew the song, which I found remarkable, like my brother. Larry didn't know the song. Why? It was published in 2012 or 14. My father died in 1993. I did say it was a Birthday Song.  One time, I asked a neighbor when we got the 2nd mailbox. Years later, there was a second mailbox. Marcy asked me what I thought they did with the second mailbox after she saw this happen. Ok, well, now we have a 2nd mailbox and I did get the size of the mailbox correctly when she asked me the first time.


Do I have doubts about God?
No, not really.  Why? Well, once I was at Camp Crusis at age 16 in Granbury, Texas. The Priest asked us if we had to decide if God was Who He Said He Is, would we acknowledge and believe Him. And I asked Him. And from then on, I had been blind, but now I See.  LIGHT. LOVE. MERCY.

When I was 16, my mother announced one Saturday she had cancer. WHAT. We called her forever doctor, Dr. Jamison. He said he would meet my mother within the hour at his closed office. He did and he brought out her Driver's License to show she had a thyroid tumor for 2 years. Wow, she did. Why hadn't we noticed? So on Wednesday, we went with her prayer group and when to Church of the Resurrection, an Episcopalian Church in Garland, Texas. Father Ted Nelson had known us very well, even though my father chose St. Michael's and All Angels for us as a family, and he prayed for my mother for 15 minutes at the Wednesday noon Healing Service. My mother swayed back and forth. The Church of the Resurrection in the 1970s had many crutches and wheelchairs around the Church. Ted Nelson had the gift Jesus had given him for healing, later, Ted would start Christ Church in Plano, Texas. My mother swayed dangerously,  We prayed for her, her prayer group and me, from the pews. Friday, two days later, we all headed out to Methodist Hospital on pill hill in Oak Cliff. Where she had gone for X-Rays at the time because sonogram hadn't happened yet. And the technician came out and was angry the orders were wrong, she had zero lump on her throat, which had been the size of a fairly large Strawberry.

No surgery. Tumor was suddenly gone. And my mother laughed with joy and said she was microwaved at the pew rail, but she thought she would faint, but no way, no way she was not going menopausal in front of the whole church! The LORD had Healed Her!


When I was 32, our favorite Great Aunt Clarice, by marriage, had been critically ill for probably longer than a year. She was 94 years old. And my mother and I would visit and pray for Clarice.  But she just hung on. One night, I dreamed I was in front of Heaven's gates and wall. It later turned out to look like Capernaum's hillside. Clarice was Screaming and Screaming, she had seen Heaven and It Was All TRUE! I asked her where Jesus was. She said, behind you, right behind you, don't turn around! And I saw the walls. It was blond material. Yes, I know, Heaven is supposed to have many colored walls, maybe from the inside?  And looked like the Great Wall of China, but brand new, and more tall and without patina. Clarice told me, Jesus had told her I would have terrible hip pain, but she had, and she had asked Jesus to please not let this be my fate. I have told this dream from 1995 for years and decades. Hip pain does Not run in my DNA family.  And in 2018, I learned to tread water in 55'water for a year of swimming. Alaskan cold showers on full cold.  To end the terrible, screaming, Sciatica, screaming hip pain. 2018. Pain free now, love treading water.

I had a dream I will never forget of visiting my father in his house in Heaven. Know. Have had dreams of my grandmothers and mother. Know. My Grandmother Anita, told me that pleasing the Lord is not difficult at all. To take the day, give gratitude, do something for the Lord and He is easily pleased in His Loving Heart. I guess we would definitely call this, Living the Dream. And His Blessings.+

How is that going for me? I would love to say John 14,15,16 and 17 were the only realities of my prayer life. But I am not the Disciple John. However, I do see prayers answered every day. The key is seeing with gratitude. And finding the day sufficient to find Thanks. Thanks seems more sincere than Thankful. Thankful seems like a permanent bend that would lead to fake shows of piety. Thanks, is the reality of being disgruntled with the answer of No. Does God answer our Prayers? Yes, He does. He does not Change. But Jesus has said, and I do believe, always pray with hope.

Lately, I have been praying and thinking about Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal.

Exodus 13:17-14:4 ~ did not depart


We, the news, our worldwide culture, have been living looking at Mount Ebal, The Mount of curses, thankfully, we all have been living in the city of Shechem, or Nablus, Israel, examining the curse of Mt Ebal and wanting the Blessing of Mount Gerizim.









Shechem is the valley between Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim. 

Shechem and all of Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim are 4,000 years of archaeological history, but more than that. We can find Moses and the Pentateuch are solid here. Solid fact.

Look at Shechem and remember Jesus said in the Gospels, if they do not praise me, these Rocks will Cry Out.

Nablus, the city, traces their name back to the Roman period, when it was named Flavia Neapolis by Roman emperor Vespasian in 72 AD. Biblically, this is where Jacob dug a well. In a dry land. And where Joseph asked his bones to be carried from the Exodus and is placed here. Why did the dry land find a well millenniums later?  Nearby, there are abundant springs. Living Water. Blessings will flow.


Psalm 60

4 You have set up a banner for those who fear you,
that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah
5 That your beloved ones may be delivered,
give salvation by your right hand and answer us!



6 God has spoken in His Holiness:
“With exultation I will divide up 

Shechem


and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
7 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet;
Judah is my scepter.
8 Moab is my washbasin;
upon Edom I cast my shoe;
over Philistia I shout in triumph.”


9 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Have you not rejected us, O God?
You do not go forth, O God, with our armies.
11 Oh, grant us help against the foe,
for vain is the salvation of man!
12 With God we shall do valiantly;
it is he who will tread down our foes.










Shechem - Genesis 12:6 

Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. 

7 The LORD appeared to Abram and said, 
"To your offspring I will give this land."

 So he built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.


Psalm 60

4 You have set up a banner for those who fear you,
that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah
5 That your beloved ones may be delivered,
give salvation by your right hand and answer us!



6 God has spoken in His Holiness:
“With exultation I will divide up Shechem


and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
7 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet;
Judah is my scepter.
8 Moab is my washbasin;
upon Edom I cast my shoe;
over Philistia I shout in triumph.”


9 Who will bring me to the fortified city?Who will lead me to Edom?10 Have you not rejected us, O God?You do not go forth, O God, with our armies.11 Oh, grant us help against the foe,for vain is the salvation of man!12 With God we shall do valiantly;
it is He who will tread down our foes.







The reality of Christianity is Blessings. Those who confess Jesus with their mouth and believe in their heart will have His Promise. Promises.


John 4:14 
  
Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

John 7:38  
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 
‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.


We can always be grateful, profoundly, profoundly grateful to the example of the Disciples. We know far more about errant King David, but the Disciples prove in their relationship to the Children seeking Jesus, mankind, and each of us is Flawed, Weak and Sinful. All of the Disciples have a story. And eventually, they arrive. Like the Boat in John 6, more immediately, with Jesus in the boat!

The reality of life also includes this daily:

John 6:29 

Jesus answered, 
“This is the work of God: that you believe 
[adhere to, trust in, rely on, and have faith]
in the One whom He has sent.”


We are called to pray. "Give us this day, our daily Bread."  The call to find why today is sufficient, so we don't look like lost, or numb, sheep wandering around the grocery store. What will you bring Jesus today?  Do our footsteps have goodness and mercy following us all the days of our life? We are the Easter People and Alleluia is our destination and destiny. Today we will bring more of His Kingdom to earth. Prayer, kindness, deeds. Yes, Jesus send me. Open the doors of our heart and we want to walk in the good ways You have prepared for us to live in.

Shechem doesn't have a Halo cloud by day. Yet, give us the Day!

My grandmother, Bit, had a neighbor named Virginia McMurray in Oxford on Hayes Avenue, Mississippi. Virginia's husband died earlier in life, Grandmother and Virginia worked diligently to bypass the envy of the other's blessings. Virginia, when she was 90 years old, was made the Grand Marshall of Oxford's July 4th Parade. A lifetime of doing for others. Her car was the unofficial taxi of Oxford. Really, this was more than a Parade for July 4th, the Oxford paper heralded Virginia for many of the mountain of blessings Virginia brought. I can tell you, Virginia made the best fudge and was always astonished my brother and i could finish it off in an hour. Virginia's car knew all the best places to watch July 4th Oxford Fireworks.  Virginia, age 90, outlived Breast Cancer when she moved in with her daughter in Houston. Was photographed for participating in a marathon, om, very lightly, in her 92nd year. And lived past age 94. Goodness of the Lord. Virginia!


The reality of Christ is Mount Gerizim! Daily He Loadeth us with Benefits.












Abba, Father,

May the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you, so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.
  
Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, 

Grateful today, Edward's cancelled Dr Visit
has been successful because of healing!

Through Jesus Christ, 
to whom be glory forever and ever. 
Amen.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.












Abba, Father


With the Holy Spirit alive and well. We fight the Good Fight.

Jeremiah 30:10
'Fear not, O Jacob My servant,' declares the LORD, 'And do not be dismayed, O Israel; For behold, I will save you from afar And your offspring from the land of their captivity. And Jacob will return and will be quiet and at ease, And no one will make him afraid."


Jeremiah 30:18

"Thus says the LORD, 'Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob And have compassion on his dwelling places; And the city will be rebuilt on its ruin, And the palace will stand on its rightful place."

We will never, never, never give up the Calling of the Holy Spirit. To comfort those in need. And plan to look to our Father God expectantly with Joy for His Goodness. And provide security and protection for our children and grandchildren.
 Praying Jesus Love for those yet to be born. 
Blessings from Heaven to earth, in His Good Will.

Making our hearts, mind and soul where Jesus is proud of us.
 Today and tomorrow!

Our prayers. Our works. Our words. Our Hope. Our Future.

Psal 30 ~ Give Thanks to His Holy Name

 


Psalms 97:11

Light shines on the righteous and joy on the upright in heart. 


Psalm 30


I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up
    and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,
    and you have healed me.

3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;
    you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.

4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you His saints,
    and give thanks to His Holy Name.

5 For His anger is but for a moment,
    and His favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
    but joy comes with the morning.

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,
    “I shall never be moved.”
7 By Your favor, O Lord,
    You made my mountain stand strong;
You hid your face;
    I was dismayed.

8 To you, O Lord, I cry,
    and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
9 “What profit is there in my death,
    if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
    Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!
    O Lord, be my helper!”

11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
    you have loosed my sackcloth
    and clothed me with gladness,
12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.

    O Lord my God, 
I will give thanks to you forever!



2 Corinthians 3:6 
 Who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, 
not of the letter but of the Spirit. 
For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 

 2 Corinthians 
 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? 
Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you? 
You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, 
to be known and read by all. 

And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, 
written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, 
not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. 
Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God.
 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, 
but our sufficiency is from God

 Romans 3:20 
 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in His sight,
 since through the law comes knowledge of sin.





Abba, Father,

>May the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you, so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
  
Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, 

Through Jesus Christ, 
to whom be glory forever and ever. 
Amen.

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. <><
