Psalm 112 ~ The Lord, who greatly delights






Psalm 112


Praise the Lord!
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
    who greatly delights in His commandments!

 His offspring will be mighty in the land;
    the generation of the upright will be blessed.
 Wealth and riches are in his house,
    and his righteousness endures forever.

 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright;
    He is gracious, merciful, and righteous.

 It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;
    who conducts his affairs with justice.

 For the righteous will never be moved;
    he will be remembered forever.

 He is not afraid of bad news;
    his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
 His heart is steady; he will not be afraid,
    until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.

 He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
    his righteousness endures forever;
    his horn is exalted in honor.

 The wicked man sees it and is angry;
    he gnashes his teeth and melts away;
    the desire of the wicked will perish!

Psalm 84 ~ Joy to the Living God




Psalm 84



 How lovely is your dwelling place,




O Lord of hosts!
My soul longs, yes, faints
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and flesh sing for joy
to the living God.



Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
my King and my God.



Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
ever singing your praise! Selah








Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
 As they go through the Valley of Baca
they make it a place of springs;
the early rain also covers it with pools.
They go from strength to strength;
each one appears before God in Zion.


O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah



Behold our shield, O God;
look on the face of your anointed!

10 For a day in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of wickedness.



 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
the Lord bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does He withhold
from those who walk uprightly.
 O Lord of hosts,
blessed 
is the one who trusts in you!





Abba, Father God,

In the Comfort of Your Love,
the common sharing of Your Holy Spirit
Your tenderness and compassion.

We recall answered Prayer
and Have Joy in You.
Thank You, Jesus.

We encourage each other and 
build one another to build up the Body of Christ
and He dwells in us.

Your Love gives me great joy
and encouragement
and You refresh the hearts of Your People.

Your Word teaches our thoughts, words and ways
we have endurance through the Scriptures
and encouragement
You Provide for me to have hope.
Encourage our Heart.

Thank You for dwelling in me,
Help me to be Joy to Your Dwelling,
Bless those I love to have Your Love,
Help us to seek You first.
And to finish well.

Jesus gave us the Parable of the
Prodigal Son
help us each day to have our renewed
thoughts and ways
to Give us this Day
and find our ways pleasing to You.


Bless these days with 
Polite and Caring Conversations
as we build each other up.

Bless us with Your Mercy
to the healing
of our Nation.
We ask You, Father,
to Proclaim further:
This is what the Lord Almighty says:
'My towns will again overflow with prosperity,
and the Lord will again comfort
Zion and choose Jerusalem.

We pray for our local school district
Conroe ISD
who are at level 4 for Covid,
in the 2nd week of school,
and 5 will be school closures.
The Spike of Covid we are seeing is serious.
We pray for the health of our Community.

Bless those we have seen Blessings from,
and continue to allow us
to Bless one another.
Help us to be focused on our Blessings.

We ask Your 
Mercy, Love and 
Healing Word
in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior
Amen.

Galatians 1 ~ Jesus Christ and God the Father

 



Papyrus 46, Galatians 1,
Approximate age - Late 1st Century or Early 2nd Century
Debate centers around verb usage.
Dates change with our recent decades.
Actual Photo of Galatians 1, Papyrus 46.
The Scripture is completely intact and without doubt.
Now at The University of Michigan
with 300 other Chapters.


Galatians 1



1 Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man,
but through Jesus Christ and God the Father,
who raised him from the dead— 2 and all the brothers who are with me,

To the churches of Galatia:

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age,
according to the will of our God and Father,
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.

10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

11 For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel.

12 For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

13 For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it. 14 And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace, 16 was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone; 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus. 

18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother. 20 (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!) 21 Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. 23 They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they glorified God because of me.





"Immortal, Invisible, God only Wise
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise."


Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. God said His Creation is good. 

God sent Jesus to save the World.

In the middle of loving us - the people Paul tells about Jesus - Paul says this is an evil age. Does Paul stay there? No. Paul glorified God.

John never fully recovered from seeing evil take the life of God's Son, John said God is Love. And how did this affect his four co-authored Bible Books? He overcame.











John 13:34
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another

New Testament ~  

God is mentioned 1221 times.
Jesus is mentioned, by name, not by titles, 1058 times.
Love is 678 times.

Lord is mentioned 616 times.
391 times Son is mentioned.

Faith is mentioned 296 times.
Righteousness is mentioned 273 times.
Heaven is mentioned 266 times, not including references to the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Righteousness.
263 Believe.

255 times King is mentioned.
238 times Good is mentioned.

Brothers 182.
Heart 175.
168 times pray is mentioned and 61 times prayer is mentioned.

Evil is discussed 70 times in the New Testament, not including the 37 times in the Gospel. 

Love is 678, while Spirit is 370.  Give is 378.  Household is 160. Together is 97. Forgiveness is 74. Honor is mentioned 65 times. 




Why? This is an important question, why didn't the Scripture focus on the evil age?

1 Thessalonians 4:13
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.

1 John 4:19
We love because He first loved us.










John, who lived, ate, worked, walked in awe of Jesus mentions evil how many times in his 4 Books of the Bible? 13 times.

We do not focus on evil because - Churches, like the Bible, do not start backwards and work to loving God -

John 1:4-5
In Jesus was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

God sees us - the Beloved of God - as having the Light of Christ.  We are commissioned to bring forth the Light of Christ in all people. 


John 3:19
And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.

Galatians 1:4
Lord Jesus Christ
who gave himself
for our sins
to deliver us from
the present evil age,
according to the will of our God and Father














When we look at the verses for being overcome, frequently we find hiding ourselves away is part of being cut down. Renewal is to believe God is working.
The Day of the Lord, every 500 years isn't comfortable. Yet God is Help, Helper and Comforter. We look to our God to Rejoice and know His Mercy.
  
2 Corinthians 2:7
Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

Isaiah 40:31
Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. 

Psalms 51:10
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Ruth 4:15
He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age.

Habakkuk 3:2
LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.

Lamentations 5:21
Restore us to yourself, LORD, that we may return; renew our days as of old 

Psalms 119:107
I have suffered much; preserve my life, LORD, according to your word. 

Psalms 104:30
When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground.

Isaiah 41:4
Who has done this and carried it through, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD – with the first of them and with the last – I am He.

Isaiah 41:17
The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

Isaiah 41:6
They help each other 
and say to their companions,
 "Be strong!"  





Stained Glass is sand, fired, pulled, pushed
and becomes Glory to God.





Abba, Father,

Dwell in us.
With the Light of Jesus Christ,
help us to be a joy for You to know us.
Help us want to seek You first.
And end well.

We earnestly seek this blessing for those we Love
and give You thanks for the people You have given us.

Increase our love for one another
in polite consideration
listening
and praying.
Forgiving the past and hope for more
Heaven on earth.


So many prayers, You uphold the Universe by Your Word.
And we pray diligently, sometimes for years like
Diligence
Grandmother Anita for her beloved son, Jimmy.
And 7 decades of Prayer became Joy.

Before they call I will answer;  while they are yet speaking I will hear.
Your Love and Mercy are overwhelming.

Thank You.
Bless our fellowship, Church, work, State, Nation, Your Good Creation.
We are experiencing so many new Covid cases in Texas and surrounding Houston.
The vaccinated are unharmed, mostly.

We pray for Haiti and Afghanistan.
New York and the fires in the West and Canada.
For our Nation to rebuild and heal, health, hearts and employment to 
Your Glory, Jesus Christ.
We ask Your Help for all the world.

And rest all our daily concerns
in Your Capable Hands and Love.
Grace upon Grace.

Thank You, Jesus. Amen.

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. <><
