Daniel says the Heavenly Host is arranged on the earth like Second Baptist does dividing up the huge metroplex of Houston to feed Katrina evacuees for a year. God is Orderly. He arranges His Kingdom we do not see to surround us.
When we have God invited to live in us, we have have our Father God's sanctuary within us.
We are part of God's Kingdom today. We walk His High Ways.
Abba,
The Joyful words of Matthew Henry
Praise God with strong faith; praise Him with holy love and delight; praise Him with entire confidence in Christ; praise Him with believing triumph over the powers of darkness; praise Him by universal respect to all His commands; praise Him by cheerful submission to all His disposals; praise Him by rejoicing in His love, and comforting ourselves in His goodness; praise Him by promoting the interests of the kingdom of His grace; praise Him by lively hope and expectation of the kingdom of His glory.
To Seek You First. To find Your Kingdom Today. And we Thrive in You.
Finding Peace , is the Scripture, is finding the Word of God to hold onto Today. We ask for the virus to end and Joy in Recovery.

Amen Jesus, Amen.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Psalm 97
The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice;
let the many coastlands be glad!
2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around Him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
3 Fire goes before Him
and burns up his adversaries all around.
4 His lightnings light up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
before the Lord of All the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim His righteousness
And all the peoples see His glory.
7 All worshipers of images are put to shame,
who make their boast in worthless idols;
worship him, all you gods!
8 Zion hears and is glad,
and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
because of your judgments, O Lord.
9 For You, O Lord, are most high over all the earth;
You are exalted far above all gods.
10 O you who love the Lord, hate evil!
He preserves the lives of His saints;
He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous,
and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,
and give thanks to His Holy Name!
Psalm 34:10
10 The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
We have all been the Lions suffering want this year.
Psalm 62:6-8 He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah
Deuteronomy 5:24 Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His glory and greatness, and we have heard His voice out of the fire. Today we have seen that God can speak with a man, yet the man lives.
Isaiah 25:3-5
Therefore strong peoples will glorify you;
cities of ruthless nations will fear you.
4 For you have been a stronghold to the poor,
a stronghold to the needy in his distress,
a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat;
for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,
5 like heat in a dry place.
You subdue the noise of the foreigners;
as heat by the shade of a cloud,
so the song of the ruthless is put down.
1 Kings 7:36
He engraved cherubim, lions and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and on the panels, in every available space, with wreaths all around.
1 Kings 10:19
The throne had six steps, and its back had a rounded top. On both sides of the seat were armrests, with a lion standing beside each of them.
1 Kings 10:20
Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like it had ever been made for any other kingdom.
On this Easter's Road to Emmaus, we have all suffered fear this year. And instead of denial, we have faced our fears. And in this strength, we will be encouraged and will overcome.
The Road to Emmaus is the still small voice of the Jesus Giving us the Holy Spirit to help us to have calm, to have strength and Joy and to Light our path. Matthew saw Jesus differently thank Mark, Luke or John and, yet, this is God's Joy and Strength establishing our Journey He has given us.
Isaiah 32:2 Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a shelter from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
Joshua 4:18 And when the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord came up from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks, as before.
Abba!
We had such an unusual Easter, This is Road to Emmaus time.
To Hold on to Words of Life.
To find Where You, God the Almighty will place us, daily.
We find today finding the High Way.
To Seek You First. To find Your Kingdom Today.
And we Thrive in You. Finding Peace , is the Scripture, is finding the Word of God to hold onto Today.

Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. 2 For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, 3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, 4 while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will. 5 For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. 6 It has been testified somewhere, “What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him? 7 You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor, 8 putting everything in subjection under his feet.” Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. 9 But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. 10 For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. 11 For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying, “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.” 13 And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again, “Behold, I and the children God has given me.” 14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Gertrude Larson is a In Fergus Falls, MN Nurse. across the ripples of Lake Alice, sits a cozy house with hearts on the window that is home to one of Otter Tail County's veteran nurses. She is a 104 years old.
"My civil war grandmother lived to be 103, I have outlived her by a year. I am so glad," Larson laughed.
At 104 years old, Larson is back at her trusty Singer sewing machine she bought in 1939, sewing masks for nursing home staff and residents. She is making masks.
"I have always like to work — I like to do something," she said.
Once a nurse, always a nurse. After leaving the family farm near Kathryn, N.D., Larson graduated from what was then Fargo's St. Luke's nursing school in 1938.
Larson was around during the 1918-1919 flu pandemic. On a farm near Nome, N.D. She remembers her mother isolating all the kids on the farm, away from everyone else. Decades later, with more than a century behind her, the longtime nurse — who is still as sharp as a tack — wants to help in some way.
Larson still climbs the stairs to her sewing room upstairs and works in the light-soaked room adorned with an immigrant trunk from Norway. She says with the mask project she is simply is doing what her ancestors did: Taking care.
Giving footprints of care ...
Psalm 23
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
We have been assured we are ruining our planet.
People have wonders, ideas, fears and sometimes idealogities. You'd have to Believe God is ahead of this. It's not the Policy of God to make people afraid.
If you'd summarize the Scriptures to one paragraph... what would you pick?
The world has just let us know, the earth is resilient. Are we? Are you?
Gertrude Larson has seen:
World War I
Spanish Flu
The rise of dictatorship
The Nuclear Age
World War II
The end of empires: decolonization
The Cold War
Korean War
Vietnam
Polio
The Great Depression of 1929–39
1950s: U.S. Army–McCarthy Hearings
The Cuban Missile Crisis
The OPEC Oil Price Shock of 1973
Black Monday 1987
The Asian Crisis of 1997
Information and communications technology
The Financial Crisis of 2008
911
Middle East Wars
And this isn't naming the cultural events shaping our times. These were the 'disasters'.
Life has gone on. By the Good Will of God.
For one purpose: God's. Mankind is fortunate to be Blessed in the Efforts of God.
When mankind offers us to worry endlessly about each other, or events, ideology of today, it's fairly silly. Mankind moves on to another conflict and another opportunity to be the Prodigal on the High Ways of God. The continual efforts are what we see in the life of Gertrude Larson, at a 104 years, she blesses others. Confident the problems of today are given care and life goes forth.
Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
We make our own footprints to live meaningful lives of Joy.
Psalm 23
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
Abba, Today we pray with Matthew Henry.
Matthew Henry ~ "Psalm 91:1-8 He that by faith chooses God for his protector, shall find all in him that he needs or can desire. And those who have found the comfort of making the Lord their refuge, cannot but desire that others may do so. The spiritual life is protected by Divine grace from the temptations of Satan, which are as the snares of the fowler, and from the contagion of sin, which is a noisome pestilence. Great security is promised to believers in the midst of danger. Wisdom shall keep them from being afraid without cause, and faith shall keep them from being unduly afraid. Whatever is done, our heavenly Father's will is done; and we have no reason to fear. God's people shall see, not only God's promises fulfilled, but his threatenings. Then let sinners come unto the Lord upon his mercy-seat, through the Redeemer's name; and encourage others to trust in Him also."
Abba of Heaven, help us to please You. To seek You first and find Heaven today upon the earth, even in our own efforts. Seeking You to enable, guide, encourage and Bless us to Live with Love, Peace and Joy. We pray for God's Good Creation. We pray for this Nation. We pray for the virus to end and Recovery to be Joyous. We pray for the Leaders of this Nation, President Donald Trump, Vice-President Mike Pence and Governor Abbott and all the 50 Governors. We thank You for the resilience of our fathers and their Faith. In Jesus Christ! Amen!
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
Do you wonder?
John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. .
Covid 19, sunlight and exercise has proven to highly boost immune systems.
Making the Virus half life and ending the virus. We Pray!
Do you wonder? I wonder. I'm not a medical person, yet I wonder what God is doing, with awe.
Why would a Malaria drug work with something similar to Quinine? Hydroxychloroquine. Quinine works in the liver for Malaria. Why does this work for respiratory illnesses? Odd.
And babies with liver problems, low bilirubin require sunlight. Filtered sunlight is a safe, low-tech treatment for newborn jaundice. https://med.stanford.edu. The babies are undressed in the treatment. (Which news will run President Trump advocates nudist colonies first? The Sun?!)
Bilirubin is a brownish yellow substance found in bile. It is produced when the liver breaks down old red blood cells. Bilirubin is then removed from the body through the stool (feces) and gives stool its normal color.
So, if we combine a liver medication and sunlight...
So what improves Liver function?
Exercise, sunlight, lemon zest. Lemon water. Turmeric. Mustard. Resveratrol, food supplement, can improve glucose metabolism and lipid profile and decrease liver fibrosis and steatosis. Furthermore! Able to alter hepatic cell fatty acid composition. Resveratrol is part of a group of compounds called polyphenols. They're thought to act like antioxidants, protecting the body against damage that can put you at higher risk for things like cancer and heart disease. It's in the skin of red grapes, but you can also find it in peanuts and berries.
Low, low, low, low amounts of Red Wine. Less than a shot, but daily. In the sunlight! Avoiding the sulfites in white wine. Avoiding hard liquor. Working off pre-diabetic foods and avoiding Sugar.
And a large, large, Large dose of Optimism. Faith. Hope moves us off the sofa. Bingo.
Abba,
Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.
Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms. Interlude
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Selah
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God of our salvation. Selah
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, The God who is our salvation. Selah.
Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
Blessed be the Lord! Day after day he bears our burdens; God is our salvation. Selah
We praise you, Lord God! You treat us with kindness day after day, and you rescue us.
Praise the Lord, who carries our burdens day after day; he is the God who saves us.
For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus. Together you may with one voice, Glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you ~ for the glory of God!
May the Blessing of Jesus, His Love and His Name uphold and surround and enfold you and your Loved Ones. May the Glory of God save us, His Beloved, in His Good Creation. Jesus The Lord. Amen.
Isaiah 40:26
Lift up your eyes on high and see!
Who created these?
He who brings out their host by number,
calling them all by name,
by the Greatness of His Might
Because He is Strong in Power
Not one is missing.
Global Warming,
A Blessing from our Loving Father?!!
A Reason for the Season?
Ephesians 5:20
Always Giving Thanks
to
GOD THE FATHER
for
Everything
in the
Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Sometimes when I write Posts. I can feel something like the Song, "Tremble, tremble Tremble"
How Great is our God. The Almighty God of All Creation. And realize He is probably the size of the Universe. Which is His. Simply, His Creation. And in His Size, I have awe. How fleeting to be only mortal. And realize from this sheer Magnitude, how tender He is. Jesus Christ is His.
The application of heat in the dryer to our clothes. This same heat lamp effect would apply to food, probably. And warm, warm commercial kitchens. And the heat lamp principal can be applied to items sent in the mail to keep the USPS, Amazon, UPS, Fedex and us safer. (With packages marked don't heat if you can't.) Or maybe just extreme UV lighting. This might really help us all. And instead of Lysol and Mr. Monk, we should all our mail in the backyard for an hour! With Lysol and a one hour sun baste and then flip for an hour. Sounds better to me!
It's not really necessary. When our icemaker kept breaking, Edward could have a 45 minute tantrum or Allen the Priest could come over and this fixed neatly in ten minutes.
Anger isn't necessarily LOGIC, but it seems wise at the time. And when highly angry, do any of us really get logical? And usually we have to justify this. However, there is a tool for the toolbox.
I don't think you can make the case to people hoping up and down - if they have Logic.
We could seriously weigh down the conversation and name the tune. Right off the bat, we could all name - what - 20 reasons to be angry. And we could, in all seriousness say, we aren't New York City's Greater Areas, but we have felt this keenly in our hearts since Italy. And now, sorrow and relief from some very pressing fears is making - anger.
Anger, Grief, Denial, Bargaining become There and Back Again.
Who Get's Angry? Anger is mentioned in the Bible over 500 times; in any version of Scripture. Anger is a socially acceptable form of worry and sadness. Anger gets a sitting rear off the sofa.
And God, as a Good Father, models this. People tend to say it's not fair for God to get Angry. That's fear. George Carlin used to say, God can throw a boat, right over a hedge. George musta been Catholic, because it's actually Proverbs saying," God can Throw a Troop Right Over a Wall." And God, Himself, can list a substantial number of Historical Battles that just - are - frankly, astonishingly ...ended.
We might be wise to find out what tools God has given us for the toolbox:
James 1:20
For the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God
I'd have to add a comment here; That is enormously soothing. God the Almighty doesn't exist in a state of anger. And no one deliberately is able to stir up the Wrath of God. God has our past, our present, our future. He has seen us all, all the time, in all seasons, and God isn't worried. We have been given the end of The Book.
Love Billy. Don't we all.
“I've read the last page of the Bible, it's all going to turn out all right.”
― Billy Graham
If that doesn't give you a huge sigh of relief, what will?????
Proverbs 12:16
The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.
Proverbs 20:3
It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife,
but every fool will be quarreling.
WHOOP!
Jeremiah 3:12b
Return, faithless Israel, declares the Lord.
I will not look on you in anger,
for I am merciful,
declares the Lord;
I will not be angry forever.
Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all offenses.
The Road to Emmaus isn't complex. The Road to Emmaus values our tender selves we cover up. The Road to Emmaus is our Jesus giving us a word we can hold to our heart and recall.
Abba,
We pray for Your Willingness to Bless us and we will Rise to Your Way, Life and Truth. The Hills and High Ways we travel are part of our Eternal Lives. We are on the High Ways leading to Heaven.
We pray to rise to shine for Your Glory.
We pray to have Love Rise to lift the ones we Love to Your Plan and Path.
We pray for our Nation to Rise to Your Plan and Your Love in trusting You.
We pray for Your Word to Rise to heal in Your healing.
And we would cover ourselves in Your Blessings to be covered in the Name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. To seek You First, to see more Heaven on earth. To Live Love, Joy and Peace.

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.
