Isaiah 55:12-13 ~ an everlasting sign

Isaiah 55:12-13


 For you shall go out in Joy 
and be led forth in Peace

The mountains and the hills 
before you shall break forth into Singing, 
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress; 
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; 

And it shall make a name for the Lord, 
an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.




Romans 15:13 
May the God of hope fill you with all Joy and Peace in Believing, 
so that by the Power of the Holy Spirit 
you May Abound in Hope.


We have reached an odd time in our lives, even before the Pandemic. 
At age 52, Edward was told he had terminal dementia due to injuries, and an allergy during a surgery. As we told people, reactions happened everywhere. Our sons pursued higher education and employment opportunities arrived from God, actually.  This is a Blessing. We need our children to be secure — all of us.  

Ripples. 2010.
Edward started taking extraordinary naps and had large emotions.  I started crying.  The ripples, far off, hearing of the news started making plans. And not all the rippling plans were pleasing or kind. To any of us. The ripples were as intense as the news we knew, before that something was wrong, but who wants the doctor to explain this. Suddenly, we had reactions at the news from every direction of the clock.  My sons discussed all of them with me.  And calls from far away asking to stay with us to visit and to live.  Some were strangers. Absolutely bizarre. And some of these bizarre plans and questions, had all of us working together to dissuade the ripples.  

My faith. Edward has a lot of faith. But he ordered me to not be so sympathetic and by the Power of God, don't look morose, sympathetic, crying or worried. And don't put hands on him and pray. Especially out loud. Sure. Easy Breezy. 

All things work together for good, for those who Love the Lord and work according to His Purpose. 

Caregiving isn't falling over with kindness. 
Caregiving is living with a difficulty and not carrying around the pillow for one of us. Caregiving allows us both to muck out the stall. Keeping quiet when you really want to Complain. Overcoming feeling sorry for yourself. Listening to the same complaints a lot. (Poor God.) Being honestly optimistic. For both of us. Suddenly, a marriage has two different futures and one heart.  

People explained the term, “Orphan of the world.” 
My youngest son said, you have to see a new future as a Plan to unfold.  Like a boat released from the dock? And I wasn't happy with this conversation, I remember so well. Easy enough to say as a young man with a new Master's Degree. 
Nehemiah 8:10 
The Joy of the Lord is Your Strength 


Next thing to do,  cast the line off of people who suddenly decided we looked like a Dormitory. And in doing this, this plague of, “Nice to meet you, my husband and I will be in town, we'd like to stay with you.” (Literally. And hey, I haven't heard from you in 5 or more years!) 

We also met people who point-blank gave us their plans and said fund this. Awful. Then I made plans, and made people angry because I'd make plans.

I saw these plans makers as another herd of Locusts. 
Instead, some plan makers were unusually persistent, I found a new adult manner of understanding, God, Himself, has plans for just me, and I am able to choose where my journey in Jesus Christ finds Goodness. And what I had to grow into, the understanding, God was providing the wind, to be able to find the Harbor.  As a diligent ship, learns to travel the voyage. I'm going where God wants me.


Psalm 21:6 
 For You make me most blessed forever; 
You make me glad with the Joy of Your Presence.

Now is the time, to have another reverse Honeymoon. 
To have time to look at Edward, allow him his plans and times apart. To drag him out of the house to get conversation from him on a path or at Coffee. And to find his challenges, in conversation, and in life, call me not to be downhearted as the times are changing again.

Lord, I have faith. Help me to have more.  And I look in prayer and in the Word of God, to create a place God would be glad to dwell in me.  Not to mope to the Lord, but to ask, and be me, and live in Grace and complain and work to believe the One Jesus Christ He has sent.

These are the Words of God leaping up to me today.

Isaiah 40:31 
Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; 
they shall mount up with wings like eagles; 
they shall run and not be weary; 
they shall walk and not faint.

Glad.
If God is making Plans for your life, are you doing yourself any favor to shriek. We ask God to Dwell in us, and He absolutely sees us for who we are. Haggai said we get to take the lemons and make lemonade. To dance in the rain. To find new levels for Joy. To be eager to find the Blessings like Easter Eggs. And this can be so damn daunting.  So, I find, if I look at God's Word, I am going to find God of Hope, God of Encouragement. If something eats my lunch mid-morning, I'm going to immediately ask why me. And did I do this right?!  And then, I'm going to find a memory of overcoming. And then I'm going to find a Word from God and I'm going to put my faith — right there. 




 
We go to God and this is Eternal. So, our Soul is our only home. Not our brain. And if we are presenting our lives through the memory of our soul to God, aren't we called to Bring Joy and Find Joy to Bring God.


 For you 
Will go out in Joy 
and be led forth in Peace

The mountains and the hills 
before you will break forth into Singing, 
and 
All the trees of the field
Will clap their hands.


To allow us to find The Joy Given.

To Believe God in the Encouragement of Each Day.

To Live
 not the down crusted Ecclesiastes House
instead,
 Upward God and His Love.



To find the Chores, Work, Job, Career, Family, 
Drudgery become 
Plan
'Given.'

Even if, there is, — a not what we planned!

And find within us
Wind, Joy and Presence of the Holy Spirit. 

Daily He Loadeth us with Benefits.
(Where we didn't expect.)


Joy 

We pray God would say this:
 
 For you make Me most blessed forever; 
you make Me glad with the joy of your presence.


Abba, Father God,

In this Season, help us to take this day finding You first, to build Life in ourselves and
in the people we Love, in You let the Light of Jesus Christ fill us all to completion
in Your Love and Great Mercy.

Nehemiah 9:19
Because of your great compassion you did not abandon them in the wilderness.
By day the pillar of cloud did not cease to guide them on their path,
nor the pillar of fire by night to shine on the way they were to take.

Father God, fill us with Your Holy Spirit
Guide us on our Path You have for us
Shine Your Love upon the Way
Fill us with Your Truth and Life.

Help us to Seek You First,
Guiding us to open our eyes to You, Your Heaven and Possibilities.
To bring Heaven - by call, act and to give others Heaven.

Jesus, Wonderful Jesus, we ask despair, hopelessness to lift, any Emptiness to be lifted to You.

All are given the ministry to Have Your Living Spirit.
And in this ministry, we will not lose Heart.
Hard-pressed on every side, but we are not crushed. Perplexed — Not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. Life is At Work in Us in Jesus Christ. Raised with Jesus. He is Present.

Jesus praying for us daily.
Truly Bless our Families, we ask.

All Things work together for Good, for those who Love the Lord 
and work according to His Purpose.

Jesus help us, this Nation
Covered in God's Love, we are with God.

For the economic incentives to take hold and all Thrive.
Thank God for His Strength.

Please God end the divisions.
God's Blessings are for ALL.
Amen in Jesus Christ!

Revelation 18:1-8 ~ And He called out with a Mighty Voice

 



Revelation 18:1-8


After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. 2 And He called out with a Mighty Voice,

“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
    She has become a dwelling place for demons,
a haunt for every unclean spirit,
    a haunt for every unclean bird,
    a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.

3 For all nations have drunk
    the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality,
and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her,
    and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”

4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,

“Come out of her, my people,
    lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven,
    and God has remembered her iniquities.

6 Pay her back as she herself has paid back others,
    and repay her double for her deeds;
    mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed.

7 As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
    so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
    ‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
    and mourning I shall never see.’
8 For this reason her plagues will come in a single day,
    death and mourning and famine,
and she will be burned up with fire;
    
For Mighty is the Lord God Who has judged her.”


The Book of Revelation will cause you to look twice while reading. 
And as God's Word, when you read this something new will become alive. As I looked over the Verses, I noticed Light. God is putting out Light. Just as Jesus is always explaining and always offering the opportunity for His Love and Goodness, we saw this in the Posts recently. Jesus heals the Storm. He Speaks to the wind and the water. Light and calm return. 

Luke 14:1-11 ~ He took him and healed him and sent him on his way.

Jesus heals the Storm. He Speaks to the wind and the water. Light and calm return.  


Sunrise


If you've been, “All Shook Up” by last week,
Maybe you'd like some Good News and look at Revelation 18. 

Where is the Light seen?  

When we began the Pandemic, looking at people in the stores, you'd find people looking like a Bank Robber had jumped in the room filled with Automatic Weapons. People were terrified.

Now, we've been herding political cats so long in this nation, people are merely being polite —  until — they can open Social Media at home. Silent — no more  — and actually haven't been. Now, with the American-Can-Do-Attitude arriving at Censoring, I’m seeing people posting things just to make the Media Mongols Miffed.  Main Stream Media mitigates miffy mainly malevolently leveled mirrored on Media.  Mmmmmmmmm, back at you. I'm seeing people counting how many things they post to be censored. Really. And listing the results of the censoring. (She had 5 today, but he had 4 yesterday.)

People are speaking of moving media accounts. Maybe. Or maybe just miff the Censors.
Social Media is catching on at the more than mid-sized malaise.  
Now, you can merely mute the X on the message.  We have to see the humor in this.

The Movable Mute Button.
We can turn Babble on to off.  Today, we can mute out demons on TV. Some is Political. Mute the unclean. Mute what is detestable — i.e. as in Revelation 18 “Payback”.  The unhappy fringe want lists for “Payback.”  As if there was power in the luxurious political overthrow?  The wave isn't blue. The wave isn't red — The Wave is Moderate and not Nutty. And isn't really silent. Moderates mask and don't mummify the viewers mentioning masking mundanely.

The Vote Counts.
And the Vote will be Trusted.
Just like we want our Political Leaders not to vacillate. 

Steadfast and True.

Nutty Political Views — wake up  — The American People have spoken. No more torment and mourning. Political Nuttiness is so yesterday. Moderates are Voted In.  Entertainment to Dazzle our eyes: The Senators are speaking of Moderation!  The Moderates are balancing and the VOTE will be recounted! 

Light is going to shine. Marvelously. The USA will maintain 142 Million USA Voters will feel heard and will believe in the value of the Vote.

The Moderate Middle is Returning.  
Like Republican Stimulus Packages.
We have learned the power of the mute button. Thank God. 

 


Abba, Father God

You are The Good Father asking us to Love ourselves. 
To have a Spirit of Power.
To Love others.


Abundant Love flowing down. Soaking us All!
His Living Water flows.





Opening our doors with expectation of Your Continued Goodness
in ourselves, in the ones we Love,
Jesus Christ in the people You bring us.

We pray for the safety of
our Schools to be a safe, good,
warm place for the Children
Children need their Schools.
We uphold them with our Love and Prayers.

We ask Your Mighty Word
to for all the re-openings
Finding Your Blessing and Word of Love.

John 14 ~ Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." †

John 14


“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 

2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 

5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”



8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 

9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.



12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 
13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.



18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 
19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 

22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 

23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, 
and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 

24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.



25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 

27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 


29 And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. 

Rise, let us go from here.




We wonder about the way, the truth and the Life. And what we need to Live is hope, faith and love.

Let's find this — the place we are living. Shown. God says, “Fear Not”  we are misplaced or forgotten; instead in realization of His Plan. Living God. Living Word. Placed in God's Plan.

Peace.  Believe in the Works of God.

Where is the Good News this past week?  

Goodness
We have new news of the Vote. And we want to live in the Truth. 
We have the knowledge — all of us — where truth is pointing in the News. Social Media. And we will go where we find Truth.   Deliberately we will find the Truth. And in this determination we see change. Truth is a Force of Nature.

We find people vote less along agenda and more seeking Goodness. Lines have changed as the people seek Goodness. Democrats and Republicans are blending to the middle. Democrats I know are proclaiming themselves to be Moderate on Social Media. I haven't seen Moderation been discussed in a long time. I see this on the Republican side too.

Our Churches remind us all things work together for Good for the majority of Americans praying. We want the Purposes of God.

Senator Mitch McConnell is urging the Process of Law. The basis of the Republic and giving his years of experience, saying this is part of our American Experience.  Senator Joe Manchin, WV, is asking us to find the middle and not let fringes run us awry. 

Exploring the Process of the Votes is the right of Donald Trump to explore his Civil Rights. And this Vote is completely believed to be solid vote counting.




Truth and Peace
I'd bet there will be New Social Media and the mix of left and right will be — innovation. Why, easily understood the Media isn't filling in the gaps to represent our real views. The Vote shows we are crossing lines. We are growing comfortable not being represented and don't show viewer loyalty.  We will be able to sort out the words we don't want to hear in Fellowship. We will remove what we don't want to see.  We will be able to say remove repeat phrases. Controversy.  “Violent Wrestling.” “Fearmongering.”  “Fake Shame.” Or any phrase we chose.  Exactly as we change Channels. Fabulous. No more censor.



Taking Fear and Dwell on God.
What we can't do, we believe firmly God is interested in. 
Our powerlessness is transitory. Because we take our cares to Him Who Cares for us. We look with Love to the Word of God as unchanging. One Call. One Faith. One God and Father of All. And in All. Jesus Christ, our way, truth and Life to Salvation.


Go Now in Peace, Never be Afraid.
We have been afraid of Civil Unrest. With Covid. With Censoring. Calm the Media. Finding what Unites us.


Finding Common Ground.
We aren't going to be our best fake selves. We are going to be Merciful to each other and the process we are engaging in. Better to know, act accordingly. We will allow the process. Tolerant Love.


† We are seeing all the work from Unite and make Liberty and Equality. People are not seeking ugly revenge. In fact, One Major News Network fired a major newscaster for asking for retribution. We are finding Judges are not changing the voting laws recently. We will go with  Legislative Civil Rights.  We are seeing Peaceful Assembly. We see the Youth interested in our process of Government. Finding Unity. We are seeing the Media let go of some non-controversies with apology.  Andrew Yang if giving us Common Ground.  We will see Gridlock making us safer.



Staying on the Path
Allowing Good Faith. Finding Data and Evidence. Solving and making steadfast. Reliability. Recount and meet the Legal Challenges.  The Electoral Process made more perfect. Following the Precedent of Florida 2000 A.D. Creating True Transparency. This is the Process of Government, naturally.  All. We are owed this Governmental Process, All, to each one of us, to see the Challenges of one vote to one man.


Good Faith Evidence. 
Not to be puppeted.  To have Good Health. Reliable. Data with honesty. To ignore rudeness.  Glory in righteousness and utter lack of uncertainty. 



God is in the Changes.
Recognizing the Help of God this year. Recalling all this year. This horrible year people have said has cleansed their priorities and their hope and want for each other. The tremendous work this year has been. Gracious. Grateful.



Patient.
To see what our Prayers bring forth the Grace and Willingness of Father God. To find what is Beautiful. To find Harmony.  Seek the Goodness of God.  Earlier on Good Friday, we read and saw an average Sunday Sermon from The United Woodlands Methodist Church  and the topic was Good Friday. It was poignant to see what we missed. To see. Having the Realization. And today, seeing Church on Television YouTube, to see the Valiant. Today. To find the Hope of God's Goodness. To understand again the Graciousness of the Good Fight. The Glory of seek and find the Higher Purposes of God. Lifted from the everyday, to find the Eternal.

Marvelous to find something in this very year to Rejoice with. 

 God Gives Us.




Abba, Father God,

Psalm 107:1 
 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, 
for His steadfast love endures forever!

Father God, Dwell in us. And in those we Love.
Help us find You, as we seek Heaven on earth.
Help us to be Heaven on earth.
Jesus tells us Life is Joy.
Greatest of all is Love.

Jesus, Help this Prayer to be Direct and Beautiful Aroma to You.

Thank You for Your Tender and Steadfast Love.
Hold us All in Your Grace.
The Prodigal Son is a Process.

Prayer, when Jesus is asked, is Heard and Answered. You Give us Your Word.
We Believe.
We ask the Prayers of our earnest Heart are answered,
Blessing us with Your Love and willingness.
We ask in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Placing our tender heart, next to Your Almighty Heart.

Living in Expectation for Life.
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Love of God 
And the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers.

Finally, Brothers, Rejoice! 
Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; 
and the God of Love 
and peace 
Will be with us now.

Opening our soul with expectation of Your Continued Goodness 
in ourselves, in the ones we Love,
Jesus Christ in the people You bring us.

Blessing our Nation, blessing us.
Ending our Divisions. 
Lord Jesus Christ Dwell in Us!

Be with us all in this time of Process.

His Steadfast Love, Jesus, we ask bring into our loved one's lives.
May Father God bless us all in Jesus.

Jesus help us in this Nation to be in Your Word and see more Joy.

2 Corinthians 4:18


We look not to the things that are seen, 
but to the things that are unseen.
For the things that are seen are transient,
 but the things that are unseen 
are eternal.





Isaiah 43:1-7

But now thus says the Lord,
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, 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 shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.

For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
Cush and Seba in exchange for you.


Because you are precious in my eyes,
and honored, and I love you,
I give men in return for you,
peoples in exchange for your life.

Fear not, for I am with you;
I will bring your offspring from the east,
and from the west I will gather you.

I will say to the north, Give up,
and to the south, Do not withhold;
bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the end of the earth



Please continue to bless us.
Amen in Jesus.

Luke 14:1-11 ~ He took him and healed him and sent him on his way.

Luke 14:1-11


One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of a ruler of the Pharisees, they were watching him carefully. 

2 And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy. 3 And Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?” 4 But they remained silent. 

Then he took him and healed him and sent him on his way. 

5 And he said to them, “Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?” 

6 And they could not reply to these things.


7 Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the places of honor, saying to them, 8 “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited by him,  and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this person,’ and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. 

10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. 

11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”



Jesus never lived by the motto:

Jesus is the exact nature of God.

Hebrews 1:3 
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His Powerful Word. 


Consider Jesus' Goal, to heal, to promote the man's well-being. 
Jesus wants the man to be self-sufficient. Jesus finds Life to be Joy. The work of mankind is to Believe the One He has sent. To work the garden, the good creation of God. Jesus doesn't need the man to depend on Jesus because Jesus knows the path of Jesus. To Live and Rise to God. This man will be sustained in his faith outlook.

To bring the man home in the Prodigal Son fashion, Jesus was explaining why He was healing. Jesus even explains when He wants to heal — Constantly.  Jesus is working on healing the silent people. God says truth doesn't always bring happiness. Truth will, in progress, set us free.

Jesus says as we heal those around us — do so immediately. 
Covid is described as the human body recognizes the illness as a Common Cold. The biggest common cold the human body recognizes and the immunity system goes into overload.  Jesus is the opposite. Jesus isn't jumping on a stage. He doesn't set huge fires as a backdrop. 

To Heal, Jesus isn't Lording over us.  Jesus uses transparency and this puts hackles up.

Jesus overcomes the indignity of His Healing is approaching. Basically, being God of Love. They don't want Jesus above them. People are not comfortable being 'helped' or 'fixed.' He isn't bending down and cooing. Jesus has earned the Right and doesn't take this up. Jesus is even moderate in His teaching and preaching style. Jesus doesn't go out of His Way to suggest to the party, the more pious attitude of a Sunday work ethic is not to have the Party.


We say we want to heal the Nation. We ask for Unity.

Jesus is seeking Common Ground with all people. 
And as the exact Nature of God, Jesus accepts not all will fall in love with Jesus. And in fact, Jesus waits upon His own Brothers and Mother. Believing in faith, Love will arrive. Jesus is content with the Person His Father has Created. Saying in His Life, Give Us This Day.

In this Goal Jesus has to heal, later in the day, Jesus will have the Great Crowd. 
Jesus tells them the most important portion of Life, to know to Love God First. To Love God the Joy of the Lord is our Strength. Jesus has been disappointed in His, “Lunch with friends.” And explains how we get past disappointments in life.


Luke 14 Continues Teaching us about Jesus Finding Joy in Setbacks.

25 Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 

27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 

31 Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. 

33 So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.


Jesus has fully explained His Day.  Leading by example.

Sunday is a day for Family, instead Jesus is not entirely at peace with His Mother and Brothers. (Although Nazareth has two sets of Verses to historically say the family is a good and cohesive, loving family. ) Not because Jesus isn't longing for the Peace, Jesus is looking for the Good Fight to bring Life forever. Jesus isn't seeking the 'nicey' Peace. The great crowd knew where to find Jesus, so He is explaining His Choice on this day.

Jesus is cutting down class and monetary barriers. Jesus is Living Water, flowing to all who want to Drink From His Living Water.

Jesus is saying He is here for the Duration God Gives Jesus. Jesus is saying the Prodigal Son's Father has counted the cost. Jesus is also saying as He is teaching, recognizing He is the Son of Almighty God, Jesus is bringing forth the Peace.

Hebrews 1
His being, sustaining all things by His Powerful Word. 

And

Matthew 5:9 
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

In Fact, Jesus is so capable Luke 14 fully explains Matthew 5:18

Matthew 5:18 
For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, 
not an iota, not a dot, 
will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

Jesus Christ is completely amazing and fully astonishing.



Our God is fully Capable.

John 1:1 
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

1 Timothy 5:21 
In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without prejudging, doing nothing from partiality.

Colossians 1:16
For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, 
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities
—all things were created through Him 
and for Him.

Matthew 28:18 
And Jesus came and said to them, 
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”

John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, 
that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have eternal life.”





Abba, Father

Our Abba, we pray in unison with Jesus — to increase the Holy Spirit.

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your Kingdom.

Jesus, Son of God — Bless, Heal, Sustain, Comfort, Guide
Our 50 United States of America in Joy, Faith and Love.

President Donald Trump, and his family, 
Vice President Pence and his family,
The White House Staff,
especially those in need of healing today
Mark Meadows

 God Bless All!


Safety and wisdom for:
Governor Abbott
and all 50 United States Governors and our Legislatures

Praying for Elliott, Harby and their family 
For complete blessing of healing.
I believe Jesus is healing Elliott.


We long for Your Love and help, Father God, to have Your Kingdom, 
Power and Glory upon Your Throne. 

The Fringe of Your Robe placed upon all of Your Good Creation. 
The Balm of Gilead — Jesus — rubbed just where we hurt.

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts. 
We pray more of Your Good Will filling the whole earth with Your Glory.

We will
 Remember our answered Prayers. 
And live this Day. Looking in expectation! 

You will strengthen us, 
And the ones we Love. 
We will Seek You first and find Your Kingdom.

Covering us with the Name and Power of Jesus,
Brave people. Holding up Life for one another.

We are People with the Help of Jesus,
we can make
Redemption
Strength.
Praying the Victory!
And Virus end!
Knowing God is going to bring us Together
with ninnies and damn twits to love
us past the storms into
His Plan of desired Haven 
Psalm 107.

Abba, Delta is the mathematical symbol of Change,
we pray to end all storms for us. Amen.

Fruitful Justice for ALL.
For our families and children yet unborn


The Freedom in Jesus we call
Liberty and Justice for All!

We ask Jesus to dwell in us and those we Love always,
and helping us find God First, as Jesus does. 

Moses asked God for Happiness,
we ask You, Father God, for this as well. Amen.

Amen and Alleluia. 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

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.

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. <><
