Psalm 91:4 ~ His Faithfulness is a Shield





Psalm 91:4

He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.



















Jesus is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; Jesus fulfills the Law.  These are the attributes God gives us of His Son.








Love




The Lord God is a God of Love

1 John 4:7-9
7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.

Jesus, Son of God, desires
all men to be saved
and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave Himself as a ransom for all.



These are fine Words of God, how will we put them to our lives today? How can we have this knowledge/assurance?

Timothy and Paul spoke of this as fact.

1 Timothy 3:13
Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.

Today, when we are not so articulate in the Holy Spirit, we say this with the same belief as Paul, "We know what we know that we are assured, we know."





















Peace



And in the Love God has for us we arrive at Peace.

Jesus dealt with His Chosen Disciples feeling unsure. Jesus is very sympathetic to all of our emotions. Jesus slept and then calmed the storm.

John 14:27
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.

Greater peace and solid peace is what Jesus has for the human condition. A good place to be when we pray. The Bible records people often feel anger, fear, discomfort, longing and reasons to pray. God would say this earth is going to pass away for us. He will not. We are meant to grow and to find safe harbor in God. Peace is a gift of the belief God gives us. Jesus is never recorded as being amazed at fear - instead in Luke 7 - Jesus is very pleased and remarks with Joy when He finds Faith. Jesus is The God of Love.

(Jesus does speak with some dismay at finding lack of belief. God is God. Parents act like parents.)


The picture is more a summation of all these words.







Joy



John 15:10-12

10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.


Jesus is telling us, what He thinks of walking forth in this Life.

Jesus is  fueled with God's Love and desire to walk with God in the paths He is for us.

Jesus has told us to be Salt - filled with flavor. And filled with Light. We need to rethink what we picture the face of God expressing. God who desires all the world, all of mankind to be save.

Numbers 6, God tells us what a blessing we have experienced when God's face lifts and smiles.

Psalm 67:1
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, Selah

Psalm 4:6
Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O LORD!










Father God,

You gave us this list of the Fruit of the Holy Spirit and You put Love first. When we realize these three words would put the Father shown as Your Son, Jesus. We have seen You and rejoice.


Thank You for being part and answering our prayers each time we pray. We lift all of our cares and concerns to You - Rejoicing in being heard and anticipation of Your answer.  Feeling the Joy and Safety of our Loved Ones. Resting all of the Believing world with You. Rejoicing in flowing Living Water being the anointing of Love and Faith, flowing on in the Great Love Father God has. Thank You, Abba, in Jesus. Amen.

1 Chronicles 20:1-3 ~ returned to Peace





1 Chronicles 20:1-3


1 In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, Joab led out the army and ravaged the country of the Ammonites and came and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. And Joab struck down Rabbah and overthrew it. 

  2 And David took the crown of their king from his head. He found that it weighed a talent of gold, and in it was a precious stone. And it was placed on David's head. And he brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount. 3 And he brought out the people who were in it and set them to labor with saws and iron picks and axes. And thus David did to all the cities of the Ammonites.

Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.



David fought for 22 years for the anointing of God to be shown to be true. When Saul died, David saw 3 people crowned before David. Little by little, David became King of parts of Israel until he was King of Israel.

When he came into his power, David welcomed those who had not helped him during the hard years. David had learned about being a shepherd.

When David came into his city, David did not carefully plan his home - his home was outside the City Walls - David would see over the city and God would keep David safe. Preparations were well thought out.

When David built his great buildings, David asked outside of Israel for supplies, sometimes for laborers, and for designs of Architecture. David was a Shepherd like Jesus, he saw a need to be a light or ally to the Nations. Preparations were well thought out.

When David found a crown, he did not take it and have it melted down and or carefully re-jeweled. The crown was of value, but not the focus of David. It was a value and a symbol, however not the focus. The crown was now of nations. As the Light of Christ Jesus. Father God of all.


David returned to Peace. The City of David is Peace.




Finding the right direction and priority - is yesterday, today and tomorrow.


Abba, Father,

We ask Your Blessings. You provide the seasons, challenges and opportunities. When opportunities come, we would ask Your Wisdom and rely on You as God.

In this season of Holy Days, we would ask God to direct us. To stay on His Path. For His encouragement, teaching, Love, Mercy, Grace, Joy, and His Renewing Mercy every day. We are renewed daily in His Mercy.

We know this blessing of God's for our Loved ones and ask this to sweep this Nation. To fill the Nations trusting in Him. Knowing the comfort of all of His Children praying for more Heaven on earth. Being encouraged as the Children of God learn of so many praying every day.

In the Name of Jesus, We rejoice in hearing of renewal. More Heaven on earth! Amen.

Philippians 2:23 ~as soon as I see


Philippians 2:23b


I hope therefore to send him, just as soon as I see how it will go with me



We live and learn from every Word of God.


Paul and Peter looked at their ministry and having been asked by Jesus to carry His Word and Love to the nations. Paul took the world of Gentiles. An incredible Job. An Incredible Faith.

Samuel had an incredible faith. He could hear God. And like Abraham, Samuel begged God not to have him anoint another king. Samuel in the middle of doing a God work, remembered by millenniums - Samuel asked God not to let Samuel's words fall. Samuel relied upon God each day. Moses might have had a glimmer of all God could do. Yet Paul and Samuel relied on God each day as the day went forth.

Peter was astonished to be let out from prison. So much so that Peter was not sure if he was in a vision, a dream or reality. Peter relied on God to reveal to Peter what was going on. Not even the people in the house believed Peter was at the door.


God helps us to do His will. Day by day.






Father God,

Every Thanksgiving we have is a new adventure. We ask Your Blessings on the Holidays.

Each Day filling us with Living Water. You are doing more than we ask or even imagine.

Just as the people of the Scripture show us their willingness to Live the Great Adventure,
so shall we walk in the Paths and Good Works You would give us.

Let the Holidays be filled with the warmth of our heart. Pouring out a blessing.

We ask the Blessings upon those we Love. All Your willing Blessings. Living Waters of God
renewing and redeeming us daily. God giving us all we need to accomplish His Will. Filling
those we Love.

The Living Water of Jesus Christ filling the entire Nation. The Nations trusting in God.

Blessing, protecting, encouraging, sustaining, strengthening the people of God
blessing His Good creation
asking more of God's Wonderful Heaven on this earth.

Psalm 90 ~ Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us

The same stars Moses and the Children of Israel stood and gazed upon - is our sky.

 

Psalm 90


Lord, you have been our dwelling place
in all generations.

Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.


You return man to dust

and say, “Return, O children of man!”
For a thousand years in your sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
or as a watch in the night.
5 You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream,
like grass that is renewed in the morning:
6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it fades and withers.
7 For we are brought to an end by your anger;
by your wrath we are dismayed.

8 You have set our iniquities before you,

our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 For all our days pass away under your wrath;
we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
10 The years of our life are seventy,
or even by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span is but toil and trouble;
they are soon gone, and we fly away.

11 Who considers the power of your anger,

and your wrath according to the fear of you?

12 So teach us to number our days

that we may get a heart of wisdom.

13 Return, O Lord! How long?

Have pity on your servants!


14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,


that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,

and for as many years as we have seen evil.

16 Let your work be shown to your servants,

and your glorious power to their children.

17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,

and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands!




This Psalm is unique - it is a Psalm of Moses.

Moses talked about Life doing amazing Works of God is dismaying. And then Moses asked Father God to make life have happiness.







The Exodus story is the story of life.

When we are conceived the impossible happens, a green flash of light of conception and Life has begun. The amazing building process of a new life - a new Child of God. Birth happens. And our journey continues.

Struggles happen. The Children of Israel live in a temporary world with anything that could cause life to end - because life is so fragile. And in the journey, God makes our days possible, we walk with dry feet upon the floor where the ocean once stood. Along the way, some will worry and become bitter. And they will not reach eternal life. In this process, a Golden Calf is built and loyalties change.

This is life. The goal is to be the Prodigal Son and find the way home.






And how will we find the Joy of the Lord is our Strength?

To be pleased with today. To see life is fragile. To be glad for the Blessings the Hand of God would bring today. To enjoy the season.

Reality - life in a tent with few of anything you know - is difficult. The Children of God complained about real things. And if we trust God, like Abraham - we can move the merciful Hand of God. Jesus told us to pray with Hope.

Our best and highest - where Jesus told us to place our cares -
In my most recent Prayer Group, we talked and prayed about people who survived Cancer even in the 4th stage. What happened? For most of them, they lived, and then they lived a little bit longer. And every day they found they Lived. The man in our group who survived cancer twice with 4th stage lung cancer said he thanked God for his health. 500 times a day.




Moses asked God to be happy in the Journey. And we know at one point, Jethro and Moses' wife and sons arrived. Maybe this Psalm is the record of Moses spoke with Father God about happiness.



Without a doubt, this is a Psalm complaining to God. We have read the hand of woe and the hand of Blessing are from God. And the Psalm turns to remembering God is Father of us all. God of Love. God of encouragement. God Still Working and Jesus Still Working today.



The stars are the same. The Word of God according to the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nature of God - Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow - are unchanging. The Mercy and Love God has are Alive and Well. God of the Living. To know the Scriptures and the Power of God.

Faith, Hope and Love - With Love being Best. Our Father God.







Abba,

Father God we ask Your Blessings today and always. Especially as we pray this far flung prayer:

Moses and the Children of God moved a large Rock with their Journey. And from this Very Large Rock, living water would flow and the Children of Israel had Living Water. We are told in the New Testament this Living Water spoke of Jesus and His abundance.

Jesus is the Rock. Our Rock and our Foundation. And Jesus is Man. Fully Man. Jesus would know and remember just as He remembered Abraham - that Jesus would want to sail the Sea of Galilee.

We would pray in our seasons of desert to remember to ask for Abundant Living Water - as much as the Sea of Galilee. And know as we ask - Jesus loves us to know the Scriptures and the Power of God.

To pray with Hope and pray in conversation unceasing. God is Love! To Proclaim Love is to Proclaim God and what a Blessing. Our God. Our Father. Our Jesus. Love.

We would pray a Sea of Galilee of all Your Blessings for our Loved ones. We would pray God fill us all running over and pouring over us - Your Willing and Vast Blessings. We would fill our Nation trusting in You with Your Blessings. Still Pouring the love of God and His Holy Spirit filling all the Nations and the believers all over praying for more Heaven on earth.

The Willing Heart of God is ours. The Willing Love of God is ours. The ear of God is willing and His Plans are a Hope and Future.

In Jesus Christ. In Jesus God. In God's Son - Jesus - Amen.

Matthew 1:8 ~ The Father

We rely on Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni's Sistine Chapel ceiling to make our point today.


Matthew 1:8


8 Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah


And man shall live by every Word of the Bible. Jesus told us this in Matthew 4:4. And then we have Posts where the beautiful and highlighted words flow in us like Living Water. What is the difference? Jesus fulfills every dot and every iota of the Word of God. Jesus tells us this in Matthew 5:18. Does the Word of God conflict. No, the Word of God is Living Water and flows together as the streams and rivers and oceans do. The Word of God makes a fabulous analogy here. There are times streams want water, other times they are filled to overflowing - we well know the Ocean is changeable due to the winds.


John 3:8
8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.


Jesus answers this analogy too - the wind and the waves obey Jesus. Solomon called this the hand of woe and the hand of Blessing are from Father God. Saying - the seasons of life and their challenges draw us to the wisdom of God. If we see answers to the questions we have in life - The Bible is going to have a Word to tell us of God and our difficulties.





We could breeze on past Matthew 1:8. And yet Jesus said every Word of God is important. Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni thought so. The Sistine Chapel is not filled with all the people of the Bible. This was important to Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni.

The wind of curiosity. Why? Why is this important to Michelangelo?

The Geneology of Joseph. Through David and the Kings. The Kings of  Israel/Judah are simply a family tree and how the generations mix and change.

Preparing us - our parents and our children - cannot count on similar lives. Even in the robe wearing days - the generations wove in and out like needlepoint. God is going to define the generations. This doesn't suggest not loving each other - this is saying prepare for change.



Asa - Asa is a very good man and he is here for 41 years. What changes come from being in one place for a long time. Michelangelo know the Vatican was not going to wrap up quickly.

Asa is a King of Judah know for wholehearted devotion. Michelangelo was known to love his work and grow more devoted to God for preparing these works for His House.





Jehoshaphat - Michelangelo never heard the phrase "Jumping Jehoshaphat" it is a product of entertainment. Michelangelo's interest is going to be deeper. Michelangelo is at the whim of popes, but he was raised - handed out to his nanny and her laborer husband. Michelangelo has seen a wide variety of life and social obligations. He is painting for God and battling for placement and denied his marble for his art.

Jehoshaphat - is a man for our modern age. He isn't orphaned or shoved on the throne too young. He has had time to observe the ways of life before his talents put him forth. He is of age at the throne at thirty-five and reigned for twenty-five years. He spent the first years of his reign fortifying his kingdom against the Kingdom of Israel. A man, a believer, a king of peace and prosperity. How to get things done at the top. Where are the sink holes.

This would grab the attention of Michelangelo.


What happens next - Michelangelo is fifty years away from death when he completes the ceiling. He is going to deal with more Popes, more generations, more artists. What is happening around him as generations change?




Jehoram - Generationally raised in faith, this man is far more interested in power. Perfect for those in Rome swirling around the Vatican for power itself. Out of the blue - Jehoram = remembered as one of the most decidedly wicked kings in Judah's history. His first official act as king was to murder his brothers as rivals. His reign starts out as co-regent as his father and grandfather - but he murders as he is free to do so.

Jehoram throws in with Ahab of Israel.



Abba,

We ask Your Blessings, in Jesus. Your Willing Blessings.

In this season of gifts and gift giving, we give thanks for grace. You have saved us through faith. And this is not our own doing; This is the gift of God.

With Your help, we will be strong and courageous as Michelangelo did in the building of St. Peter's. We will not be frightened of events, nor dismayed. For the Lord our God is with us wherever we will go. Knowing how many generations have looked to God to find their Path.

Cover us with Your Blessings, Love and Mercy. Cover our Loved ones. We lift up the trauma of fire in California and ask You to end the fires. We lift up our Churches. Communities. States. To the Nation. And Your gracious Plan to save the world in Jesus Christ. We ask more Heaven on earth for the people praying around the world. In Jesus. Amen.

Hebrews 13 ~ Let brotherly love continue!!!




Hebrews 13



1 Let brotherly love continue. 


The Word of God records the fellowship of the Disciples and the Family of Jesus Continues.


2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 

Paul certainly records with Luke that angel visitations happened.  Even in Prison, Jesus was there to lead, comfort and guide and heal.



3 Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.

4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. 


Peter was not un-married, nor did Jesus ever ask him to be single. The men, and sister-in-laws of Jesus all traveled to bring the Good News.



5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we can confidently say,
“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear;
what can man do to me?” 


Jesus was seen to be the Love and the Promises. The Word of Life.




7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. 


Paul wanted Governor Felix to know Jesus. Felix was to suffer the loss of his family when Pompeii was destroyed. Paul's gift of Jesus is lasting.



9 Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them. 10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat. 


The least popular teaching of Jesus was to eat His Body and drink His Blood. Today we rely upon the Grace of Jesus in Communion. His Disciples bravely continued in what Jesus had told them to teach.




11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. 12 So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. 13 Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured. 

Jesus changes lives. The men hid and then with multitudes, praised the Eternal Victory of Jesus.




14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. 


The House of Jesus has many rooms.




15 Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. 16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. 


Thank You, Father God for the Love Jesus has for us today.






17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.


Beloved, let us love one another for Love is of God. This is the Commandment of Jesus.






18 Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. 19 I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order that I may be restored to you the sooner.


Father, help us to live the way, the truth, the Life Jesus wants for us. Amen.




20 Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead 

our Lord Jesus, 
the great shepherd of the sheep,
by the blood of the eternal covenant, 
21 equip you with everything good that you may do his will, 
working in us [you] that which is pleasing in his sight,
 through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.


2 Corinthians 1:20
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God.




22 I appeal to you, brothers, [brothers and sisters] hear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly. 23 You should know that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon.

24 Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those who come from Italy send you greetings. 25 Grace be with all of you.



Amazing things … Paul believed and wrote about. His promises were all complete even after Jesus Christ returned to Heaven. Paul believes the same things that happened to Abraham 2-3,000 years ago,  still occurs.


Some of the most important points in this chapter - the promises of God toward those who have preached the Good News. Paul is saying we can recall God has rewarded those individuals who have believed, lived and preached the good news. And in my life, I can say I do remember the reward of those who have believed. Sometimes seriously unhappy things have occurred to those preaching the Good News, but not permanent things to eternity. Just as Hebrews tell us, they have not been permanently flattened:



Hebrews 11:32-40

32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. 35 Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. 36 Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated— 38 of whom the world was not worthy—wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.



2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.


Proverbs 24:16

Though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again,
but the wicked are brought down by calamity.


Revelations 3:5
He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.


We are correct to pray for each other and our spiritual leaders. May Father God equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us [you] that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.





Abba, Father GOD,

Thank You for Your Blessings.  Sincerely and Profoundly. Thank You, Jesus Christ our Lord and God, wearing high heels does not hurt my back. Mobility is continuing to improve. Blessings of health. 2 years ago, I said I would love to feel not dizzy ever again from my ears or my eyesight. That would be lovely. Father God, This Is Very Lovely. Thank You. Father God.

Bless us to have a Life of the Fruit of Your Holy Spirit that we will please You Father and find the Joy that was Yours so well.

Your Love encompasses the earth. Your Beloved believe and the earth is in conversation, prayer and blessings from Your Holy Spirit. The Nations trusting in You, are comforted in Your Love and Goodness. In the last ten years 2/3rds of the world declared Jesus is God and they believe.

Our Nation holds 85% believers knowing You Love and hear prayers. We are the People who have 78% of our Nation hold Jesus Christ as Your first born of Creation and Most Important Human and God. 55% of our Nation pray everyday knowing Your Love and Mercy. 38% of Your People believe they are Highly Guided in all they do and say and consider themselves Beloved Sincerely in all things by You.

And in Your Mighty Love, we know You uphold the Universe by Your Word. In the Glory of God and in Your Power and Word, we believe You cherish, guide and direct us and safely hold those we Love.

In the Highest Name of Jesus Christ, we say God's Good Will, 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

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. <><
