Job 42:2 ~ I know that You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted

 






We give the Lord our prayers and feel, sometimes, we have asked and asked and our prayers are huge, even to the Lord. And yet, the Lord is always present, our prayers probably meet the same expectations He has seen and heard for millenniums. 


Job 42:2



 I know that You can do all things, 
and 
that no purpose of Yours 
can be thwarted.




Luke 1:37

For nothing will be impossible with God.



Matthew 19:26

But Jesus looked at them and said, 
“With man this is impossible, 
but with God all things are possible.”



Mark 11:24 

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, 
believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.


Mark 10:27 

Jesus looked at them and said, 
“With man it is impossible, but not with God. 
For all things are possible with God.”



1 Peter 5:7 

Casting all your anxieties on him, because He cares for you.


Matthew 8:8

But the centurion replied, 
“Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, 
but only say the word, and my servant 
will be healed.


Psalm 138:3 

On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.


Mark 11:23 
Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 
‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ 
and does not doubt in his heart, 
but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.

Hebrews 4:16
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, 
that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Galatians 6:9

9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, 
for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.








Abba, Father,


Know the Scriptures,
Know the Power of God.

And we will believe in the One He has Sent.

Surely, He took on our infirmities 
and carried our sorrows; 
yet, we considered Him stricken by God, 
struck down and afflicted.  

But He was pierced for our transgressions,
 He was crushed for our iniquities; 
the punishment that brought us peace 
was upon Him, 
and by His stripes 
we are healed. 

Each Day we are Blessed 
to ask for more
More Heaven on earth.
More Give us This Day.
More Daily Bread.

The Universe is upheld
by the 
Power of Your Word.

May The Lord God Almighty
His Son Jesus
surround and uphold us
in This Peace.
The Peace is Upheld by God Himself 
and 
we ask
His Blessing and Favor.



Gently, we hand You our Cares
knowing Your Hands hold
this so well.
Tenderly.
And we are Loved and Filled.

We give thanks for
Your Sacrifice
to bring those unworthy
to be adopted into Your Family.
Knowing we are not perfect,
have weakness,
flaws 
and sins.
And draw near to you with confidence
in Jesus Christ
according to Your Will
Your Word
Your Steadfast Love
and Your Promises in Jesus.


Dwell in us
and help us to be Pleasing to You
Dwell in those we Love and Honor
and help us to seek You first
and we will end well in Jesus Christ.


In the Highest Name 
of Jesus Christ,
Amen

Psalm 139 ~ O Lord, You know it altogether






Psalm 139




A Psalm of David.

O Lord, you have searched me and known me!

You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.

You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.

Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?

If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!

If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
even there Your hand shall lead me,
and Your right hand shall hold me.

If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.

For You formed my inward parts;
You knitted me together in my mother's womb.

I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are Your works;
my soul knows it very well.

My frame was not hidden from You,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in Your Book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.

How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God!

How vast is the sum of them!

If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
I awake, and I am still with You.


Oh that You would slay the wicked, O God!
O men of blood, depart from me!
They speak against You with malicious intent;
Your enemies take Your Name in vain.
Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
I hate them with complete hatred;
I count them my enemies.

Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!



In the last several years, I had a conversation with someone who asked why God makes such a beautiful Psalm and, suddenly< there is talk of harm, evil, death and judgment. Real life. If you are having a child in the middle of war, you are very protective. This is about the realities of life. It's about having your first child and being fired for the whim of a new boss. This is real life.

When the Bible is talking about enemies, these fall in several categories. Things we do ourselves that harm our lives. 95% of life is our reaction to the wrong, which is 5% of life. Usually. We are talking about when you are having a sunny day and, suddenly, the situation is so intense and so dramatic. It's as if massive black birds attacked you. Then you know you have been part of Spiritual Warfare. And the Bible and Jesus Christ are the place to turn when life has taken a massive turn and you are bewildered and worried all of life will seem like this.

Who battles with us when this is the reality. No one can talk an employer into not having a whim. No one can stop an attack that is Spiritual. No one can stop your own reactions that harm your life. Only the Lord. Only Jesus.


And Jesus has a way of saying the front of life is Good like God is so delighted and makes many comments on life being good. Jesus is focusing our Spirit and Strength Like Philippians - seeing what is noble, pure and right and focusing on the beauty of Life. Re-directing our attention first to the Willingness of God. What God would have us see first.


Isaiah 42:16

I will lead the blind by a way they do not know, 
In paths they do not know I will guide them. 
I will make darkness into light before them 
And rugged places into plains. 
These are the things I will do, And I will not leave them undone.

Malachi 4:2

But for you who fear My name, 
the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; 
and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall.

Colossians 3:12

Therefore, as the elect of God, 
holy and beloved, 
clothe yourselves with compassion,
 kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.






Abba, Father,

Blessed be Your Name. 
We would follow You on the wings of morning. 
Your mercies renew.

As Your children fled from Romans - the children hearing of the Good News of Jesus Christ 
for the first time were in awe to learn that God would just "give." 

You have given to us by choosing Your Plan for us long before time began.
 You have given us a Hope 
and a Future 
for those who have called upon Your Son Jesus earnestly.

Night will be no more. 
We will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be our light, 
and Jesus will reign forever and ever. 
These words are trustworthy and true. 
And the Lord, the God of the Spirits of the prophets. 
 Blessed is the one who keeps the Words of God. 
We thank You, God, 
You are the fulfillment of the Law.

Father God, even the darkness is not dark to You; 
You formed my inward parts and You knitted me together in my mother's womb. 
My frame was not hidden from You, 
when I was being made in secret, intricately woven. 
Your eyes saw my unformed substance.

Your love had You write my name, 
in your book were written, 
every one of them, 
the days that were formed for me, 
when as yet there was none of them.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! 

How vast is the sum of them! 
Your Love is higher than all the heavens, 
in order to fill the whole universe. 
This is the Fullness of You, Father God.

 Open the eyes of all people. 
To receive the blessing and joy of the healing of Jesus Christ the Lord, 
with earnestness.

I am still with you. Upon Your mercy and grace, in Jesus, we hold fast 
and ask Your favor upon us 
and the ones we Love. 
You have blessed us.

We lift up healing to Jesus Christ. 
Amen in Jesus.



We Thank You, Father, Your Book of Life is Hope and Future for us all. Life.

1 John 4:4 ~ you are from God †

 




In 2012, a friend's adult child invited my younger son, Alexander, and me to fly in his twin engine airplane and see our county. We flew all over North of Houston. It was the end of May, we were astonished to see how beautiful and like we think of Ireland our part of Texas is.

In this age of media and personal cameras, we don't publish the aerial view of the world. Our shower curtains can be realistically made to display profound mountain ranges or the earth's awe of incredible beaches. We can turn an entire wall into gigantic photos, or photoshop, of enormous, treed forestry. And in this age of photos with incredibly, readily availability, we don't always practice our photography and send the beauty we see and are blessed to love. 

We all have beauty around us. God blesses us.

Cities photos are almost concrete grotesque, shown from above of vast highways. And stick in our mind as the definition of the city. 

We reinforce this image in our minds, by the cities not growing trees as Washington State, Oregon, and Atlanta and, now Houston, does. Making micro forests to enjoy and love as we travel. God Bless Lady Bird Johnson, who has beautified so very much with her wildflower campaign transforming Texas. Louisiana and many other states! Texas loves to go and see Blue Bonnets! Lady Bird's labor still grows over the 60 years she campaigned. 

We ask ourselves to look to the brighter side of life. Be positive! 

And Genesis, the gift of the earth. God calls the earth His good creation, yesterday, today and tomorrow. We are all called by the Lord to cultivate His gift of life. Not just for ourselves, but for each other and the people yet to be born. David tells us in the Psalms, Goodness and mercy follow in my footsteps. Psalm 23. An Oak Tree arrives from a mere acorn. And Abraham was identified in his lifetime and for generations living under the Oaks of Mamre.


Then, let's do this:


North Memphis





Emporium, Pennsylvania - not to forget the smaller towns!


Christ the King Church, Dallas






St Martin's Episcopal Church! Houston!



D C



Washington DC, National Cathedral, a mere few minutes from downtown DC
and the White House



Chicago


Atlanta!


Still Atlanta with all the trees and trees and trees and trees
planted by the Highways in the inner city and suburbs. 
A dedication to Trees!


Houston of all ages and cost range in housing


Did you know the concrete jungle of Dallas
is really a forest???


Dallas

Boston



Upper and Lower photos
Philadelphia



Upper and Lower Photos of
Pittsburgh


Both Pittsburgh








This is Rochester, Minnesota
equally beautiful, Rochester, NY.
I remember from my days living in PA.


Rochester, NY!




1 John 4:4



 Little children, you are from God 
and have overcome them, 
for He, Who is in you 
is greater than he who is in the world.








Isaiah 61:3 

To grant to those who mourn in Zion
— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, 
the oil of gladness instead of mourning, 
the garment of praise 
instead of a faint spirit

That they may be called 

Oaks of Righteousness

The planting of the Lord, 
that He may be glorified.


When we are in conversation and people are telling each other about the importance of their lives, they aren't usually explaining about their careers. They explain about their loves, their families, the friends who matter to them. Their direction and the hopes they have for their futures in the government and in the schools.  

When we see the cities and not merely the highways and concrete
We connect and have a better understanding, The Pew Report says almost 80% of the United States prays daily and feels connected to The Lord and professes Jesus is the Son of God. 2/3rds of the USA attends Church at least twice a month. And the age groups that do not are the very young adults and the very aged.  Why? Probably they don't feel connected in to the people or it is their health. We go to Church to honor the Lord.

Given these aerial photos, perhaps we are witnessing The Lord believes even more in His People than we currently think about. And each year, we celebrate the God of All, the Almighty would willing place His Son on this earth, this creation, for His People and their Salvation. 

And The Lord saw it was Good!

Psalm 24:1-2

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof!



Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 
 2 Serve the Lord with gladness: 
come before His Presence 
with singing. 

 3 Know ye that the Lord 
He is God: 
it is He that hath made us, 
and not we ourselves

 We are His People, and the sheep of His Pasture.
 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, 
and into his courts with praise: 
be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 

 5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; 
and his truth endureth to all generations.


Thank You, Father!


John 10:9

I Am the Gate.
If anyone enters through Me,
will be saved
and will go in and out
freely and find good pasture

Thank You, Father!



Abba, Father,

Almighty God, our heavenly Father,
 guide the nations of the world 
into the way of justice and truth, 
and establish among
them that peace which is the fruit of righteousness, 
that they
may become the kingdom of our Lord 
and Savior Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Eternal God, 
in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn
but the sword of righteousness, 
no strength known but the
strength of love: 

So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, 
that
all peoples 
may be gathered under the banner 
of the Prince of Peace, 
as children of one Father; 
to whom be dominion 
and
glory, now and forever. 
Amen.


Dwell in us, Father,
we ask in the Highest Name of Jesus.
Dwell, fully, in those we love

Help us to seek You 
first
and we will finish well 
in Jesus Christ.



We pray 
Peace
for Israel
and Your Good Creation.
Continued Healing
and all Good Health!

Very Grateful for the help
we have received from each other
to complete this work
for my mother.

VERY GRATEFUL
for all the help we have had



Thank You. Jesus.

Our God is working. His Son,
Jesus is working.
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. <><
