Psalm 61 ~ appoint steadfast love and faithfulness



Psalm 61


Hear my cry, O God,
    listen to my prayer;
2 from the end of the earth I call to you
    when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
    that is higher than I,
3 for you have been my refuge,
    a strong tower against the enemy.

4 Let me dwell in your tent forever!
    Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah
5 For you, O God, have heard my vows;
    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 Prolong the life of the king;
    may his years endure to all generations!
7 May he be enthroned forever before God;
    appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!

8 So will I ever sing praises to your name,
    as I perform my vows day after day.










Once every so often, all the events pile up and then there is time and need to ask for prayer. 



This is Edward's Birthday month. These last few weeks, we've had a fall on my hand, the Lord God has blessed me not to have a broken hand.  Edward accidentally sliced a gash in his finger, took about 30 minutes to bandage because he didn't want to let go of the running water faucet. Then with the deep trauma, he took a nap in the day and rested from feeling faint. Never wonder at someone else's injury too much, because next, our younger son's Siberian Husky 5-month-old Puppy ran linebacker into my nose. A crack, and then a faucet stream of blood. About 15 minutes of paper towel and blood. Fortunately, Edward played basketball and he was quickly able to assure me this was just cartilage. No swelling, just blood.

Edward sleeps with thunderstorm noise headphones, allowing him to rest all night. Last Tuesday, Edward was suddenly so dizzy with Vertigo, he was in bed and vomiting. After looking at the possibilities we realized with Edward's childhood brain injuries, the headphones emit a frequency causing Vertigo.




At this point, we sound fairly ancient and infirm, Edward did win first place in his tournament in Disc Golf this weekend. Edward is learning to sleep without the headphones, which was a sleeping aide blessing. I frequently swim for an hour and walk the dogs often.


Prior, Chick FilA for a year!











Flowers I did for Alexander's Girlfriend
 
Prayer went Really Well, Thank God






Cal, our oldest son, took on an out-of-country friend's dog. Which turned out to go poorly, and the dog is growling and has bitten him three times, in fewer weeks. I asked for prayer from two friends. Once for the dog not to kill Cal and then for Edward and his vomiting.  The same day we all prayed for Cal not to be attacked and hurt for his good deed, the dog adapted to the Gentle Leader purchased that day and the owner and Cal agreed for Cal to send the dog out of the country, to the owner. Edward immediately stopped vomiting upon prayer and found the real cause of the problem that day. Not having to go to an ENT or MRI appointment.





We are still asking for prayers for the sale of the House in Dallas. And are seeing showings still. The foreclosure on the street went very quickly. And was only one living area entirely. Another newly listed house is very similar and will probably increase business looking.






Our younger son, Alexander went with us to see his Grandmother on Sunday. He got to see our niece who is loving being anticipating her first child and Edward's sister's first grandchild. A very happy reunion. 

Having Alexander was a sheer joy, to have him experience with us what the last 6 months have worked and found. Seeing the family get together.


























Like this year with its vast ups and downs, we know the Lord God is acting. 


We aren't consumed. 

We feel His Presence and wonder sometimes we go through all that we experience. Many of us consider hearing about the Spanish Flu and the Roaring 20s. When we feel the world has gone madly out of wack, we realize how quickly life recovered from the many worries of the last century. And then wonder, with new fresh hell, how life will find its feet again. And begin, again, the History Lesson and recoveries. 

Counting our Blessings and understanding Jesus is Present with us all in our talks and prayers.








And then one day this summer, my brother John arrived, and this went by us...


John 3:8 
The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” 

 Psalms 107:23 
Some went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters.







Abba, Father God,

We believe all of Your Promises.
This week our Church read about Tabitha and in Acts, Chapter 9
Tabitha, like Jairus' daughter, Lived.

Jesus and You, our Father, are still working.

Father,  Your Good Will and Works
Jesus is so Lovingly Capable.
Dwell in us
Help us to seek You First
and finish well.

Jesus, we welcome Your Miraculous Word.

Jesus bless the USA and all the other Nations
who need You so much.

In God we Trust
and dwell secure.

Dwell in us, Jesus,
Help us to place You first.

And all things are under Your Feet.
Thank You, Jesus. Amen.

Mark 12:18-37 ~ God of the living

 


Isaiah 18:4 
 This is what the LORD says to me: 
"I will remain quiet 
and will look on from my dwelling place,
 like shimmering heat in the sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."






Mark 12:18-37


Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 19 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. 21 The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third. 22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. 23 At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”

24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 26 Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”



28 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”

29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

32 “Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him. 33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34 When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.



35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David? 36 David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared:

“‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies
under your feet.”’

37 David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”

The large crowd listened to him with delight.






We know our Hero Jesus.
Jesus goes where others don't go.
We know Jesus got His hands in the dirt to deliver His Child from the crowd, just as He was delivered.




Peter started out - with a hint -

John 1:40-41

Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ).



And with the hint - Peter did well. Peter did discover and answered a Good answer. Enabled Peter to see - the Works of the Father - in the Love Jesus - Is.

Peter knew the Power of God and the Scriptures.

John 6:68
Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the Words of Eternal Life."


When Father God gives His Words of Eternal Life - we begin to see our lives and events in Him. The Scriptures are Alive. Just as Jesus is Alive.


Look at the passage above - Peter finds Life with Jesus in this Passage of Today's Reading - there are a lot of parallels if you look closely with faith - reminders, faint echoes of conversations Peter had with Jesus.




We know our Hero Jesus.
Jesus goes where others don't go.
We know Jesus put out His hands immediately to deliver His Child from falling.




Peter - loved and delighted seeing the large crowds listen to Jesus.  Peter was going to be badly mistaken. No longer at Jesus' right side - Living his own fear.



Why should we love The Lord our God? Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength?

Lamentations 3

The LORD'S loving kindnesses indeed never cease, 
For His compassions never fail.  
They are new every morning; 
Great is Your faithfulness. 

 "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I have hope in Him."

Peter was again found by Jesus and fed. In Love and in Mercy.











Deuteronomy 31:6, Through the Millenniums !!!
and most importantly -  



Matthew 28:2

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.

Jesus says, " And surely I am with you 
always, 
to the very end of the age."







1 John 3:19 

 This is how we know that we belong to the truth 
and 
how we set our hearts at rest in His presence



Blessed Abba, Father

You, The Lord, please bless us and
keep us.

Make Your Face to shine upon us.
Be gracious to us.

Cause Your Countenance to Lift,
Smile upon us.

Give us Peace,
Your very own Peace.

Bless us, fill us, surround us with the
Name of Jesus Christ.

And we are Blessed indeed.

Amen and Amen. 

Jesus, God of Encouragement.
Jesus, Hope and Future.
Jesus the Lord
saves the world
Amen.



♔ LORD JESUS SAVES †

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

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. <><
