Psalm 139 ~ Wonderful !!!!

You may not know, but I have been most concerned with the birth rate of the United States of America.

 The night my Grandmother Anita passed on to Heaven Triumphant, there was the most amazing,Dallas Morning News Headline about the Electrical Storm  never seen before.  My Grandmother Anita's generation, she had 12 siblings, and all but one graduated from college by teaming up in pairs to afford the degree. They seemed to roll forth effortlessly.

And I wondered about the Millenium Children. So loved and cherished. And dogs for grandchildren.  At our house, we had Camp Gardere for our two grand dogs. They do give kisses and nuzzle.

And still the Birth Rate was worrisome.

It's been

a Wonder.

Psalm 139

Psalm 139

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!!!!!!!!

The Almighty Revelation 1:8

Luke 2:10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

Jesus once spoke of the Cities as if they were people.  Matthew 11:20-24.

Nazareth had difficulty believing Jesus as a Man with a Divine Ministry.  Nazareth was always watchful for danger.  Their fame in Israel is of being a watch tower. Positioned on a plateau to remain in comfort and safety.

Capernaum was new, diligent to work and feed all of Israel fish and farming produce. A jewel in Israel.  Drawing new families to Capernaum. The adult Jesus chose Beautiful Capernaum. The first time Jesus preached, the whole town came to He His Words.

The Watch Tower of Nazareth makes Nazareth famous for the plateau living. 

Nazareth is a place of safety for those who want to see to the distance, to know what is coming. A Nazarene is consecrated to God. To seek and live and work and watch for God. Life. A useful Life.

Now how did Capernaum figure into the towns in the life of Jesus Christ? 

Capernaum like Bethlehem and Nazareth made a life being sustenance for those in and around the town. Capernaum would be kept safe for 1300 years beyond the Roman Empire for fishing for the nation. Bethlehem: Ancient records are quite pleased with the number of livestock in Bethlehem. Solomon would ensure Bethlehem continued by placing tanks of water there.  Ecclesiastes 2:6. Nazareth was always a watch tower. The Bible records, twice, the people of Nazareth record watching and observing the close-knit family of Mary and Joseph as seamless and close.

Capernaum, like Nazareth, allowed for sight far away of what arrives. 

Transparency. Jesus could be found if you were searching for Him during His Ministry.

Capernaum could see far away and yet isn't guarded by City Walls or Natural Plateau.

King David made David's  Jerusalem palace (found by a 3rd generation Archaeology Professor of the University in Jerusalem. Eilat Mizar found David's Palace from looking in His Word and found the description of the hill and view) outside the safety of the Jerusalem city walls. The Son of David did not need the fortification of Nazareth. Capernaum was safe as Jesus did Believe God would keep David's Son safe.  The Messiah always trusts His Father.

Capernaum is like the Palace of King David, can see far away like Nazareth, and has prophetic importance, like Bethlehem, of our finding Capernaum today in antiquity and archaeology.  Capernaum fell to the depths in 1300 A.D. So well intact in the ruins, we understand Capernaum well. Jesus as the Son of God also repeats the Exodus by living in Egypt and becoming free in a great, recorded Biblically childhood thanks to Nazareth and God.

Interesting, Heart warming and Wondrous to realize God's Plan for Jesus is also Psalm 139 and is His Plan for your life, too.

Ephesians 4:11-13

Christ gave gifts to men. 

He gave to some the gift to be missionaries, some to be preachers, others to be preachers who go from town to town. He gave others the gift to be church leaders and teachers. 12 These gifts help His people work well for Him. And then the church which is the body of Christ will be made strong. 13 All of us are to be as one in the faith and in knowing the Son of God. We are to be full-grown Christians standing as high and complete as Christ is Himself.

Capernaum is actually more like the Land of Milk and Honey God has provided. 

Jesus flourishes with the whole town arriving the day His Ministry began. This is Prophetic and like Israel today. God fulfills His Promises.

Abba, Father!

WE PRAY

Psalm 139 ~ Your Thoughts, O God

 

If I take the wings of the morning

and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea

Psalm 139

O Lord, you have searched me and known me!

2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;

You discern my thoughts from afar.

3 You search out my path and my lying down

and 

are acquainted with all my ways.

4 Even before a word is on my tongue,

Behold, 

O Lord, 

You know it altogether.

5 You hem me in, behind and before,

and lay Your Hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

it is high; 

I cannot attain it.

7 Where shall I go from Your Spirit?

Or where shall I flee from 

Your presence?

8 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.

14 I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Wonderful are Your works;

my soul 

knows it very well.

15 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!

18 If I would count them, 

they are more than the sand.

I awake, 

and 

I am still with You.

19 Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God!

O men of blood, depart from me!

20 They speak against you with malicious intent;

your enemies take your name in vain!

21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?

And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?

22 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!

24 And see 

if there be any grievous way in me,

and 

lead me 

in the way everlasting!

 

Revelation 5 ~ 

Then I heard 
every creature 

in 

Heaven and on earth 

and 

under the earth and on the sea, 

and 

all

 that is in them, 

saying:

 "To Him who sits on the Throne 

and 

to the Lamb 

be praise and honor 

and glory and power, 

for ever and ever!"

What is your life? 

For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

Job 38:7

While the morning stars sang together 

and 

all the angels 

shouted for joy

We rejoice in the seasons where the burden is lighter and we all pull together. 

Blessings shared.

As a nation, we have done something in the past that has blessed us all.  Fire Stations accepted children, babies, the little ones when their parents felt they needed to leave them forever.

Locally, during Covid, a baby boy was abandoned at one of our local Fire Station. No questions were asked. And the notice was put in the local paper. Why? One parent might be looking. 

And a few years went by and the local newspaper did a tremendous article and photo of Thanksgiving.  A couple wanted to celebrate their son was now 3 years old. They had been unable to have children together and the baby left, graciously and generously, at the local Fire Station had been legally adopted in time to celebrate his 3rd Birthday. The parents wanted to share their joy in the mother's decision to safely leave her son to be cared for. 

The Fire Station reported the find in the article and said at first shock. And then hope. And now joy. 

This is a longtime tradition in Texas. 

Gladney Adoption 

in Fort Worth since 1887

In 1887, the first “Orphan Train” from the northeast. The Orphan Train Movement transported roughly 200,000 children from the northeast throughout the Midwest and as far west as Texas.  And these children were helped with increasing determination to be placed in a family, and Gladney Adoption was created.

Today, often the children placed up for adoption at Gladney are families with too many children who want their latest pregnancy to be adopted to someone Gladney helps. Gladney

creates adoption books, where hopeful parents explain with art and photos of their heart for a child they cannot conceive together. And sometimes the prospective parent(s) looking for an adoptive family also create an art book of dreams for their unborn child.

If you have worked or donated time to Pro Life, you discover there are long term wounds from abortion. The Pro Life Centers, have counselors to embrace the healing and forgiveness of loss inside lives and hearts.  Healing is very possible. Forgiveness is the ongoing work of our Father and in Jesus Christ. 

People who want to criticize the Bible generally ask, if God is a God of Love, why do we have verses 19-22? Because verse 23 says search me and know me.  Because verse 1, the beginning, says God knows us as we really are.  And in life, there are times when we are almost ruined by someone else. The lover who leaves when there is a baby conceived.  The Boss who fires an expecting parent. The war that kills a family.  And we have to know, to have faith, to believe God, our Father, is not a bad psychiatrist asking for pretense of holiness.

Jesus Christ was born in a barn due to the fact Mary was unmarried. She was engaged to be wed, but not wed. The Lord is saying, life is difficult. You can come to The Lord in all circumstances.

And even when we need great help. The Lord identifies Himself as Help, Helper, Comfort, Comforter. You are Loved, as you are. 

Abba, Father,

Very much a work of the Lord.

We remember

John Wesley said, “The Work of God 

continues 

His workers go home”
