Matthew 21: 1-11 ~ Go into the village in front of you



Matthew 21: 1-11


21 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,

“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your king is coming to you,
humble, and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”

6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them.

8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”


10 And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”


11 And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”


Because Genesis began with Jesus, and because of their Great Love - we have a Father. Our God chooses to be Our Father.




We are starting out. Beginning another voyage of Holy Days.

And while we do not see the detail of the days coming forth, God knows exactly what He is doing. And God will say to these days at hand, "Prepare a Straight Path for the Lord God." God who choses to be a Father to us.

The Universe is vast and difficult - particularly - when we navigate emotion finding meaning in life. For the Almighty, Ancient of Days, Light of Light, True God of True God. The Holy Spirit - who calls the Stars and all of the Heavenly Host by name - the Universe is not overwhelmingly large. The Universe - Creation of God - Who choses in Jesus Christ to be our Father - is not burdensome to Him.

So much so, Jesus frolics with Donkeys. The Word of God frolics with Donkeys. God sees so much Good - He calls His donkey to speak and the children, the infant and the rocks to proclaim the Glory of God Most High.


The Word of God bestows on donkeys the ability to speak and proclaim loyalty with wisdom. Jesus chose Donkeys. David took his to be crowned the King of many tribal lands. God has a fondness for these protective animals. God displays fun with donkeys and honor.
Donkeys have a notorious reputation for stubbornness, and attributed with sense of self-preservation/regard for life. Difficult to force or frighten a donkey into doing something it perceives to be dangerous against life. Trusting and dependable for work. Donkeys appear to be quite intelligent, cautious, friendly, playful, and eager to learn.



Matthew 21:16
They said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you never read, “‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise’?”

Luke 19:40
"I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."


We have a God, who choses us. To be a Father to us. Today.





Remember again the Splendor of Our Almighty Father dwelling in us, who cherish Jesus Christ our Lord.




Isaiah 40:6-14



A voice says, “Cry!”
And I said, “What shall I cry?”
All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, the flower fades when the breath of the Lord blows on it;
surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever.






Go on up to a high mountain,
O Zion, herald of good news;
lift up your voice with strength

O Jerusalem, herald of good news;
lift it up,
fear not;
say to the cities of Judah,
“Behold your God!”




Behold, the Lord God comes with might,
and his arm rules for him;
behold, his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him.



He will tend his flock like a shepherd;
he will gather the lambs in his arms;
he will carry them in his bosom,
and gently lead those that are with young.




Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand
and marked off the heavens with a span,
enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure
and weighed the mountains in scales
and the hills in a balance?



Who has measured the Spirit of the Lord,
or what man shows him his counsel?




Whom did he consult,
and who made him understand?

Who taught him the path of justice,
and taught him knowledge,
and showed him the way of understanding?






Have you not known? Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
    his understanding is unsearchable.




He gives power to the faint,
    and to him who has no might he increases strength.


Even youths shall faint and be weary,
    and young men shall fall exhausted;
but they 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



Abba,

Revelation 1 ~ John, your brother and partner




Revelation 1


1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.

Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood 6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.

8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."





9 I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day,
and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet 11 saying,
"Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea."

12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead.

But he laid his right hand on me, saying, "Fear not."




Nothing about The Book of Revelation is very comfortable. Not our experience. Not our understanding. God's Revelation. And we are completely agreeing with John's Revelation - John being in Heaven every time Protestants pray the Lord's Prayer. Revelation 4:9,10 is the witness of "Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory."

Every time we get to this portion - we are agreeing with the First Council of Nicaea, John is an eyewitness of the Crucifixion, Jesus Risen in Victory over death, Jesus ascends to Heaven, and John His Disciple has been to God's Kingdom. We agree The Book of Revelation is John's true eyewitness to the Glory of God.


Yet, when we wind down and get to the Lord's Prayer's finish: "Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory." I feel extreme comfort. Like a High Five. John has - been there - and Jesus has comforted John. I can relax in Jesus. I believe with Jesus and John. This is Jesus. Our Jesus. Wonderful Jesus.

John's cave on Patmos has a wonderful view.


And a history of time we can see. Jesus died about 33 A.D. Emperor Domitian ruled until 81 to 96 A.D. John was seeing Jesus one Sunday afternoon about 63 years later. Surprise!!!





And when Jesus spoke to John - personally - we can draw up the comfort of Jesus.

A shoe to fit anyone:



A comfort for 'your internal Hearth':



A place of eternity called Home:



Where you are seen by Jesus completely:


Where you can be all you all the time:


All your days are known - from beginning to this very day:




Where Jesus would comfort and cover you:



And you are with Jesus.

"For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory."


And Jesus says, "Fear not." Jesus lives were all hearts are revealed, all secrets known, no desire is hidden. Where the words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart is well known to Jesus, our Wonderful Jesus.



Abba,

When we see Jesus - we have seen You.


Jesus, whom You appointed the heir of all things,
through whom also Abba created the world.

Jesus is the radiance of the glory of God
and the exact imprint of our Father God's nature

Jesus upholds the universe by the Word of Your power.

After making purification for sins,
Jesus sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
having become as much superior to angels
as the name Jesus has inherited

Son of God, Jesus, more excellent than all others.

For to which of the angels did Father God ever say,
“You are my Son,
today I have begotten you”?

Or again,
“I will be to Jesus a Father,
and Jesus shall be to Me a Son”? Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God.

And again, when Abba brings the firstborn into the world, He says,
“Let all God’s angels worship Him.”




Jesus, You encourage us
to make our words strengthen us with integrity and honesty
to make our words give us peace
Jesus encourage us
to make each day right.

We pray this for ourselves,
for the ones we Love,
the people You have given us.
Your Light reaching to all, this Nation, the World.

We give You, Thanks. In Jesus.
Amen.

Matthew 11:4-5 ~ Good News is preached to the poor






"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."

Emma Lazarus gave us words of dignity, strength and compassion.









Enduring words. Jesus would have us retain these words.




Matthew 11:4-5


Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
5The blind receive sight,
the lame walk,
the lepers are cleansed,
the deaf hear,
the dead are raised,
and good news is preached to the poor.


Jesus did see the blind, the lame, the deaf and the dead. And in the multitudes who followed Jesus from the beginning of His Ministry.  We probably should see the poor most of all. In fact, the poor surrounded Jesus. The Poor of Spirit.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3.

The people following Jesus, the multitude of His life and after Jesus' Victory over Death, had some spiritual poverty. This caused them to travel wanting Jesus. Looking to complete their soul.

We don't always arrive at prayer completely nourished. We arrive in need. We have concerns, we have 'situations', we have loneliness, frustration with the people around us, financial constraints, health concerns, anything we could name - actually. We are the Poor in Spirit. Seeking Abba. Knowing Jesus as our mediator. Having confidence to approach Father God in Jesus Himself. His Grace.

Jesus saw more need in us than all of the regular illnesses surrounding Him. He saw people in need of faith for the Lord God Almighty and aware of the need in themselves.

We are the people who are preached to - when we hear the poor have Good News preached to them.



The Word of God is alive and active. Jesus tells us He is working today.



Genesis 15:6
Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.

This was why the people had gone to see Jesus. This is us today. Doing the work of mankind - to believe Jesus.


Mark 9:24
Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”


Matthew 8:13
Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.

Matthew 9:28
When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied.

Matthew 21:22
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

Mark 5:36
Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

Mark 9:23
“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”

Mark 11:23
“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them."







Poor in Spirit - is a belief call for prayer a need to greet Abba, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in communion of prayer. Zechariah was Priest.

Luke 1:20
"And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”


John 1:50
Jesus said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.”






Poor in Spirit, Kingdom of Heaven at hand - to need prayer. To be filled with God to have Prayer.


John 3:15
Everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Matthew 9:36 ►
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.





John 2:11
What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

John 2:22
After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.


The before and after stages of Prayer.

John 2:23
Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.

John 1:7
He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.


John 4:21
“Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
Worship in the Spirit of Truth."

John 4:41
And because of his words many more became believers.

John 4:53
Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and his whole household believed.


John 5:24
“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.







We cross over to the Word of God Living and Working in us.

John 5:24
“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life."


John 5:44
How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

John 5:46
If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.




Jesus Nourishes and Redeems the Poor in Spirit.

John 6:35
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.






John 6:29
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”


John 1:12
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—








Abba, our Abba,

We remember together Zechariah standing in the Temple of God, meeting Gabriel. And wondering - leading to doubt. Zechariah enduring doubt and seeing the Gracious Goodness of Your always planned Will and Salvation.

Remembering Abraham and his family living in tents in purchased land believing themselves Infinitely Blessed of God.

And in the Vast Goodness of Your Will we say this:

Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God’s grace, which was given me by the working of his power.

To me, though I am the very least of all the saints,
this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God,
who created all things

Through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.
Belief of Jesus reached the Palace of Herod and Caesar's household quickly.

This was according to the eternal purpose we have realized in Christ Jesus our Lord

And because of Jesus
we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him.

Because of this invitation to be held to Abba as we pray:
I ask you not to lose heart over what suffers us, which God will bring to His Glory.


The Light of the World is Jesus Christ
Jesus please - for our loved ones, the people You give us, the prayers we ask.
Covering us inside our souls, surrounding our families with love, our Churches.
The Light, the Word of God, shining in our work places, communities. Going forth to our Nation and world.

We ask in Jesus. Amen.

Exodus 3:1-12 ~ Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law


Mount Horeb ~ 40 years of Shepherding




Exodus 3:1-12


Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. 

3 And Moses said, "I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned." 4 When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!"

And he said, "Here I am." 

5 Then he said, "Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground." 

6 And he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

7 Then the LORD said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, 8 and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 9 And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 

10 Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt." 

11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?" 

12 He said, "But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain."





~ the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire

People react differently to the Holy Spirit. Judas is also quoted as saying he turned aside.

When Jesus recognized the awe, amazement and worship from the followers who understood His Abba,  and Jesus said:

Matthew 13:16
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

Moses recognized how large the challenge and how small he was. Isaiah saw it differently.





We all see the Vastness of God differently:

Isaiah 6:5
"Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."

And Isaiah 6:8
8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?"

And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"





No matter what the reaction, the Lord’s Plan is put into place!





Father God uses fire in the New Testament as well:

Acts 2:1-4
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit






Just as Moses could not believe because of the enormity of the accomplishment, or like the analogy of the burning fragile bush, he wondered for his own safety. Jesus provides for the those in process of the journey. God isn't putting us on a cliff to survive - God is For Us.

John 20:29
Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Acts 13:36-42
"For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed. But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.

"Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses. Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you:

" 'Look, you scoffers,
wonder and perish,
for I am going to do something in your days
that you would never believe,
even if someone told you.



The Word of God is living and active. When we live in faith - His goodness occurs - His Goodness will still do what God wants accomplished. God says He gives faith as work to mankind. Every day. Everyday work for faith in faith. This is a process of every day - even the everyday of doing the daily chores of the flock.





God is doing something between Moses in 1600 B.C. and in the First Century A.D. and Today. God takes us just where we dwell with Him - in all different lives and conditions - reaches to us - to our souls and makes relationship within us to Father God.

Pappa is working with people who have the fire of youth, energy and moxie.
God reaches to people fragile and in need.
Father God is like Fire - there is no stopping Fire. 
And Father God is like Living Water - there is no escaping where Living Water will go.
God makes us His in Jesus Christ.






Mount Nebo - A Destination Plan of God's - still dry in the summer, yet Mt. Horeb never was the destination.













Abba, Our Abba, Pappa,

We want the Process of Your Good Will, Abba,

Now the God of peace,
who brought up from the dead
the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord,
equip you in every good thing to do His will,
working in us that which is pleasing in His sight,
through Jesus Christ,
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

We ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

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

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

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.

The Scriptures are Father God's letter to you. He wanted you to know more, to know He loves you.

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. <><
