Hosea 1:10-11 ~ Great shall be the day





Hosea 1:10-11

Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered. And in the place where it was said to them, “You are not my people,” it shall be said to them, “Children of the living God.” 

11 And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint for themselves one head. And they shall go up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.



The Jezreel Valley traveled between Nazareth and Bethlehem to the Birth of Jesus Christ. The Children of God would meet the exact nature of God in Jesus Christ.

Hosea was encountering Life offering promise and delivering life with troubles to overcome. As Hosea was understanding the Word of God was the ending of the Davidic Line on the throne, the exile into Babylon, Hosea was realizing God was moving the Goal Posts in the favor of His delight in looking into the hearts of mankind.



Today we learned that Death of a loved one is the highest Anxiety. Followed by divorce, moving and then Christmas.

Deuteronomy 7:9
He is a faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations.

Imagine the intricate Planning of the Book of Life. Fully leading to Ephesians 3 - where families live on earth and in Heaven.

Psalm 147:3-5
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
He determines the number of the stars;
he gives to all of them their names.
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;
his understanding is beyond measure.


Romans 8:28
For God causes all things to work together for good for those who Love the Lord and work according to His Purpose.

Isaiah 45:2
I have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you and rescue you.









Philippians 1:6
He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion.

Psalm 91:14
Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him. I will protect him because he knows my name.

Lamentations 3:21-23
Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.

Isaiah 66:9
I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born.


Abba, Father God,

Jesus has told us in Your Word, You are His Father and Our Father. Thank You.

When two or more are gathered, You are there. When we call on Jesus, He is there. And in John's Gospel Chapters 16 and 17, Jesus prays for us. When we seek You, Father God and Call upon Jesus - we always pray together.

Luke wrote of the prophets being long ago, You are as Vast as the Heavens and a Day to you is Thousands of Years. You are yesterday, today and tomorrow.


We turn again, to rejoice our heart, times of refreshing may come from the presence of You.

Christmas memories of what we would miss, will begin again. Eternity.

Lifting up Elliott for his continued wonderous miracle, You've given. And for Dee - her continued healing.

We lift up the people we love, the people You have given to us with Love and the Nations and world who call upon You. Knowing in the Power of Your Word, we are upheld.

 In Jesus the Lord. Amen.

Romans 8:1-4 ~ His Own Son


Romans 8:1-4


There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do.

By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.





According to the Spirit - This is where we want to walk Old Testament, New Testament and Gospel. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow in Jesus Christ.

This week I've been part of conversations. One was about being Popular for being Loving. The other person said we have not seen anything Just in this whole process.

Another one was a long time friend of ours, has found God. He knows God in his soul. He has found God has something good and warm - struck by awe and wonder of God's Blessings - even looking up into the stars. Faith has surprised him as he has had a career and done well - but has seen mankind being busy and achieve with self thoughts. And in seeking as a total newbie - went to some Church and found the Sermon was about the Church being told that if he was not sufficient - then the Church would look bad. To a newbie - this is rigorous and feels unrelenting. It was a very blunt Sermon idea saying, "If you don't do right, we look bad." Our friend ran home shuddering. (I don't know the place, haven't been there, but evidently newbies were not expected that day.)

I have been asked to call my mother's doctor and fill out the DNR, Do Not Resuscitate Forms. I've signed Hospice Forms before and sat with family passing on more times than I want to really dwell on - and found comfort and peace. Haven't found myself doing this the entire week.

Right now, a lot of Chapters in my life seem to be reaching a new Chapter. We find peace, we find fear, we find reaching and searching for old capability not found and sorrow. We find Jesus and find acceptance. We find kindness from our sons, and reaching out to reassure us of Love. We find turmoil among siblings with lives rushing on with nieces and nephews from Junior High School children, High School Children out-of -state in boarding schools and new babies with grand nephews and nieces. One with a new wedding!


Is there a time in the Bible with Freedom and with so many changes?



You bet. The Scriptures will always be a Light to our feet.

After The Children of Israel were led to the Land of Milk and Honey, they had to grow into Freedom. Then God's picked His Favorite Form of Government - Self Governing. The Book of Judges is all about Self Governing. Filled with Life Changes. In every Chapter.

Everyone was having a HOLIDAY! FREEDOM! Some were Canaanites. So... there were a lot of Opinions. And Ideas. And in this Holiday of Freedom... we have people trying to figure out - is this good for me - do I want Peace. Do I want war.

Self Governing is what God especially had Chosen.

Judges 21:25
In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.


It was a time before the New Covenant. The Holy Spirit had not Given The New Covenant with the Light of Christ in all of mankind. God is Still Light of the world, but the people of God were looking out for themselves and in The Spirit of God hovering over the waters - so to speak.

What would happen with all the running high expectations, memories, disappointments - Holy Days of Freedom can cause - a lot - of introspection and turmoil.


Judges 9:8-16

8 One day the trees went out to anoint a king for themselves. They said to the olive tree, 
‘Be our king.’

9 “But the olive tree answered, ‘Should I give up my oil, by which both gods and humans are honored, to hold sway over the trees?’

10 “Next, the trees said to the fig tree, ‘Come and be our king.’

11 “But the fig tree replied, ‘Should I give up my fruit, so good and sweet, 
to hold sway over the trees?’

12 “Then the trees said to the vine, ‘Come and be our king.’

13 “But the vine answered, ‘Should I give up my wine, which cheers both gods and humans, 
to hold sway over the trees?’

14 “Finally all the trees said to the thornbush, ‘Come and be our king.’

15 “The thornbush said to the trees, ‘If you really want to anoint me king over you, come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, then let fire come out of the thornbush and consume the cedars of Lebanon!’

16 “Have you acted honorably and in good faith - in picking a king?"



Now on High Holy Days of Freedom - how to sort out the king, the thornbush, the vine, the fig tree and the olive tree?


God has a Plan! God knows His Plan! Father God is working today on His Plan with Jesus!


If we have the time to Pray Jesus Christ, His Name - we have prayed. God is Direction. God is the Truth, the Way and the Life. Thank God!!!

Jesus Christ tells us The Feast of Heaven has many at His Table.

Ephesians 4:11-13

11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.

Blessed are the Peacemakers, They shall see the Kingdom of God.

Blessed are the Merciful, they shall obtain Mercy.

Cast your bread upon the waters - it will come back to you. Bible for:  Make words soft and sweet - you might have to eat.

Give Justice, with Mercy, walk Humbly with the Lord. This is what the Lord God has called you to do.

The Solution, of course is Jesus. He sorts it all out. We can't be surprised with slings, nor arrows nor outrageous fortune. Jesus said there would be days like this. We are God's Beloved, Believing God sorts things out. Paul's example was to be loving. To speak honestly. To give Justice with Mercy and walk Humbly with God.




Romans 5:1

Therefore, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.

We will give Thanks for our circumstances. And do this with the Sincerity of Love. Genuine.

Finding Peace, Love and Joy:

Nehemiah 8:10

10 Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”




Abba!

If Jesus will Pray with us like John 17, we will have Amazing Prayer!


Good Christian Men Rejoice

with Heart
and Soul
and Voice

Give ye heed to what we say!

Jesus Christ is born to-day!

A Thousand years in Your Sight are as one Day to You.

Father God of the impossible
We believe darkness is not Dark to You.
Father of All, Creator of Heaven and earth
All Things are Possible with You!



We lift up our cares to You.

We are blessed to be Lifted.

We lift up the cares of those we Love,

We are blessed their Cares, Souls, Lives are Lifted as the Beloved of Jesus Christ.

All Seasons in life - we Thank You!

In You, we have a Hope and Future.
Love, Peace and Joy in and through Jesus Christ.

Alleluia, Alleluia, Amen in Jesus Christ!

Matthew 22:23-33 ~ In the Resurrection





Matthew 22:23-33


The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’ 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26 So too the second and third, down to the seventh. 27 After them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.”

29 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”

33 And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.






If Christmas is celebrated in Heaven, I'd bet heavily yes,  believing on a Heavenly Christmas Tree to Celebrate the Birth of Wondrous Jesus.



We always see clearly God is God of the Living. And we should take some time to consider this conversation from 2,000 years ago is recorded -  Jesus telling us - very clearly - to think about death. To consider Heaven. To wonder about Heaven overcoming death. To know Father God is very serious about Life.

Good News.

Jesus told another story about Heaven we should consider in this context.
Luke 16:19-20 Lazarus goes to Heaven and meets Abraham. Or Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection. Or Lazarus and the Rich Man.



There are two observations in this Section of Scripture. In Heaven, names are remembered easily. Abraham calls Lazarus by name and knows his life. Family ties are seen. News of earth is discussed. And we find a great divide in communication is planned by God. Perhaps, maybe, it is to find the news of life on earth. Conversation starters.

And the next observation, Jesus tells His Disciples as He gives His Father a new Heaven, Satan is tossed out. In Jesus: The place of the dead is Not Heaven, the dead are out of Heaven.
Revelation 21:8 tells us hell ends with a lake of fire - the second death. God is not fond of torment - Abraham recognizes the rich man is his child - part of his family.


Our Good Father God.
Jesus is proving He was alive before Abraham - Jesus is telling His past memories of Heaven before Jesus gave His Father a new Heaven. This is astonishing to find activity Jesus casually and as a Great Teacher is revealing.

The Living Word of God.

Know the Scriptures and Know the Power of God.



The Scriptures are chosen before looking them up - daily. Today, this is the Liturgy of the Protestant World and the Catholic World. Saying this is Chosen to remember at Christmas time - this Scripture. Christmas is not just for this year, memories are made for an eternal lifetime. And we will have time, again, with those we Love in God's Heaven, His Kingdom, His Power and His Glory. The Joy of Expectation is ours at Christmas time.





Abba!
 Our Abba!

Let the Circle Be Unbroken.
Our Eternal Lives in Jesus Christ!

God rest ye merry Expectations

Let nothing us dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day!!!

You saved us all When we were gone astray

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Fear not then, said the Angel
Let nothing you affright
This day is born

Our Expectations of Our Lives

in God's Holy Light
we will all live in
Jesus Christ
and have our families.

We Rejoice in Tidings of
Comfort and Joy.

Blessed be, You, our Father,

Lifting our cares and giving us this Day
to find Your renewed Mercies.

Blessed be Jesus Christ, Son of God,
Our Savior.

Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. 
Amen.

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. <><
