Hallowed is Thy Name, Jesus, The Christ of God




He's got the whole world in His Hands.
He's got the wind and the rain in his hands.

He's got the whole world in His Hands.
He's got the little tiny baby in His Hands. 

He's got the whole world in His Hands.
He's got you and me, brother, in His Hands. 

He's got the whole world in His Hands.
He's got you and me, sister, in His Hands. 

He's got the whole world in His Hands.

He's got everybody here in His Hands. 
He's got the whole world in His Hands.

Romans 13:11-14 ~ the armor of Light

 


Jairus' Daughter, Jesus healed from death, Painted by Ong Wilson


Romans 13:11-14




Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep.

For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. 

12 The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. 

13 Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in wild parties and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality, lust and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.






Last year we had a death in the family. This year, a friend had a death in the family. I'm not sure this is always sad. These years, this is the remembrance of what we cherish and the time to go on Home to God.  On the day he knew was his very last day on earth: my great-uncle was recalling his mother's birthday and how happy that day was for him when he was 6 years old. Later that day, he was in Heaven in his 94th year. He said it was a great day and how happy that day was for her as well. I think my great-uncle picked up that conversational thread with my great-grandmother Julia that very day.

I read a Christian blog recently and the Title felt free to cuss. It was "The b.s. That God Never Gives Us Too Much To Handle". No one is going to escape the times that are difficult. I know of one person people considered to be problem free - she really had trouble when her adult children began to experience real life trouble in their twenties. Problems we all live through and, suddenly, her friends did say she was almost undone, consumed with sorrow and worry, as her children faced life - and it seemed to be worse for her to live these situations out through the ones she loves. Maybe that requires a very earnest, "Thank God" for having problems we have to work through and not our children. There is some very real truth to the Scripture, saying the Comfort we receive, enables us to help our loved ones to be comforted. And sometimes that Holy Spirit Comfort is Earned.

And Jesus again caresses a healed place in us when we are truly able to comfort, in the comfort we have received, and pass on again. Giving meaning today to the phrase "He healed them all."

We have to.... not love our own problems. We have to love the days when we are lighter. And treat the days we are not so light with honesty to recover. Communicate and apologize.

God loves Solutions and Going Forth! A new wind. A new reason to be grateful. A new approach.

Psalm 96
Oh sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
4 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared above all gods.

5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.

6 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering, and come into his courts!
9 Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth!

10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!"





When people tell me their prayer requests about grief, they will listen intently to the problems of famous and talented Claude Monet.

I have a coffee table book I've had for years. During the times that I grieved so for my infant daughter being stillborn, some days it was tough just to go outside in the tears and swollen face of grief. The embarrassment. When, actually, grief is part of life. We form very important ideas of our existence through fire.

Back to Monet book, so I was in the doctor's office and like my cousin Bob said, "Grief is like standing in the ocean with your back to the ocean and surveying the houses along the coast, suddenly, without warning - grief is like a wave of the ocean that knocks you down to your knees." And I was about to cry, again. I picked up the book that I have owned for two decades to hide. The doctor's waiting room had the same copy. And found something about grief that people with grief hold on to like a rope. I'd certainly never noticed, when looking at the paintings before, a time table of his life events:

Claude Monet was so callous - as his first wife lay dying, he painted the colors her body changed as her spirit left her body. I've never liked the painting, or the story. That does not relate to me. And I paint. But the next part of the events, excuse Claude Monet. He lived to paint like famous baseball players life to have a baseball continually in their hand. For two years after he experienced death, he could not paint. He found routine life almost too hard to bare.

Eventually, he remarried his wife's dear friend because they wept together. She had lost a parent and her best friend. And Claude Monet found joy again. Unfortunately, his second wife had many children. To feed and educate. And the lovely part was - she was a dear woman, who loved all those around her. Claude Monet did as well. And then her child died. And for two years they grieved and Monet could not paint. And then as life improved, a nephew who was part of their daily fabric died. Then a parent, then the daughter-in-law who carried them from the grief. I cannot recall the exact details, but Monet had to face that death was part of life.

Claude Monet wrote,"Grief is a terrible burden, but eventually, you must decide where you are going." He did not elaborate. He was part of the art world focusing on beauty. But the phrase rang in the sincerity of deeper and abiding meaning. A man who spent twelve years adjusting to love not being nearby has something meaningful to say.



Grief is not always for death. Grief is for aging and for seeing illness. Grief can be for permanent life changing events. We see people moving when their college - age children go to school, to be near them, I applaud going with the Winds of the Spirit.

Grief can be mild. Not experiencing all the Holidays "You are Supposed To". Grief can be "Not Living Up To Your Parents' Expectations." Grief can be seeing life is very different from our early childhood years and the way people spend their time.




Comfort exists among the Saints ~
 the Communion of Saints.

People who will pray for us for weeks just knowing a wooden floor has extreme issues and expecting God to show up. People who are sad because their small business needs a new boiler and Christmas for the kids. We pray - Jesus, You are Indeed Lord. You will fix the solution and or create the worry to be able to give the comfort to others. You Will because You are God and You are Love. Amen.

Friends who tell you about their grandson needs prayer and you find out - you had the same illness and it baffled the doctors and really what was needed was a topical antibiotic prescribed all over the body. And later they tell you about hypobaric chambers they read about for your spouse. The Communion of Saints.







One Person's Troubles become the Strength Given to the Next Person.
One Person's Expectation of Jesus Christ becomes a Miracle.
One Person's Solution found from diligent prayer becomes the Next Beloved Person's Joy.







Worries become the beauty of tomorrow. Solutions for the next generation. For the comfort we are given, is comfort again when shared. This art is Wolf Kahn. Seeing the color in the trees, helps us to remember to see the forest when we see the one tree.












Abba, Father,

Father God we weep with those who weep, because life has taught us to do that. 
Let us remember that in faith we can laugh at the time to come. Our future is Your hands. We hope to have Your face, Father God, to shine upon us.

 In Jesus Christ, let us put real hope in the revealing of His purpose for us. 
Rejoicing in all life is given through Jesus Christ. Trusting again.

For Edward and me,

John 11:9-16 ~ with HIM †







 Not all Christians celebrate Lent, it's not universal in the Christian faith. If we point to any Gospel idea showing us Jesus knew of Lent, what would that be?


John 11:9-16



9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 10 But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.” 

11 After saying these things, He said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.” 

12 The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

 13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died, 15 and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” 

16 So Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, 
“Let us also go, that we may die with him.”



What would Cause Thomas to say this? When the widow of Nain received her son back, Luke 7, Jesus did this in front of a large crowd. The next 2 Gospel chapters report John the Baptist is beheaded.  Herod doesn't need a Prophet rocking his Caesar supported kingdom.

When Jairus the Temple official asks for Jesus to raise his daughter back to health, she died before they arrived. Jesus, in Mark 5, raises Jairus daughter to eating instead of death, the next chapter is John the Baptist killed by Herod.  Also, Nazareth rejects Jesus. The dead being raised is obviously frightening to the crowd and probably more scary than we know.

Thomas obviously felt the dead rising was a definite key to angering those in government.




How would the Lord feel about this tremendous work of Elijah, in the Holy Spirit, to be condemned? Condemning a miracle of Life from Jesus? How did Our Father feel about this? The brothers of Jesus comment:  

James 1:20 

For the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.


How would our Father feel?

Luke 23:50-54

50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up His Spirit.
51 And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.

 52 The tombs also were opened.
 And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, 
53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection
 they went into the holy city and appeared to many. 

54 When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!”



James saw the element of God's Favor:

James 5

16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. 

The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail. 

17 Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years


Paul knew many of his prayers answered. He had this to say about sin. Maybe Paul was thinking of Job's clinging to his own righteousness with indignation. Paul said he did not always do the good that he hoped of himself. Romans 7


Psalm 19:12
Who can discern his errors? 
Declare me innocent from hidden faults.


The Lord would want us to pray all the time. Why?

Abba, Father 

You are more capable of Blessing than we would ever be, 
Bless us with Your Ways, Wisdom and Heart.

Strengthen our homes, our marriages, our families, our bodies. Give us Your Strength of soul - to make Life filled with Your Marvelous Life.

Fill us - our Loved ones, the people You have given us - our peoples - our Nation - Your Beloved with the Light that fills mankind - Jesus Christ.
Dwell in us.
Help us to Seek You First.
Uplift the world, Your Good Creation, into Peace
Seeking Jesus

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. <><
