Isaiah 49:1-6 ~ my God has been my strength

Jesus Christ
Acts 3:15

Father God is the Author of Life.
 God could have designed the 7 days of the week to always be Sunday and Sabbath. This is absolutely within His reach. Instead, Jesus says this:

Mark 2:27
Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

In the middle of life - We are not without the Holy Spirit on Monday to Saturday.
In fact, we should search our soul, heart, mind for Jesus in the events surrounding us. Bringing us to the message - we are to bring our souls to Jesus and say, "This is what I did with the soul You gave me, Father. I believe in Jesus Christ, Your only Son, my Savior."

We are to become God's treasured Soul.
God gives us gifts. What we bring of our soul back to God - is our gift of thanks to God. To give thanks as a sacrifice. What we don't do to bring God our Thanks in our lives to show Him we learned His Ways.

When we find something leading us to be the Children of God, we should stop and lean to our Father. Here is something this week leaning to Father God. It's not God, but we can take sincere thought and do as Jesus says, "Rise."

And where will we take these thoughts that cause us worry?
To God and His Word. The Purposes of the Lord are our Hope and Future. Find the Word of God - Jesus - in life around you.

So, my family listens to the TWUMC all the time. On You Tube. We hear Jesus loves, loves, loves you - abide in God. And this Sunday we heard Reach for what matters.






The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

One of my personal motivational moments was checking out of Sam's Club.
The sweet check-out lady reached over and said, "God has given you what you need - TODAY. Be a Blessings Seeker." You know - this has motivated me for 8 years. Changed my life. See what you are GIVEN. Be Grateful. I'm pretty sure the Holy Spirit reached out. See what God has given this very day.

This last week was tough - my mom has Alzheimer's. And is pretty confused. She is on and she is off.
Be careful of the elderly with autopay. Mother has had 4 insurance health payments. She wouldn't let me assist at her bank before. She has two TV companies at 500 dollars per month. And her crafty home alarm company was charging her 6 times a month with very brief name changes. The Bank told me this week, they see the elderly horribly taken in with autopay bills. I've put 40 hours in just trying to straighten out the TV over and over. We finally quit and started over. One medical procedure wants her to pay for a false diagnosis to have an operation and put her in the nursing home - their nursing home. $1600.

Edward is holding On WELL. He has placed in 2 A Tier Disc Golf tournaments - he is retired having been diagnosed with Frontal Temporal Dementia. All the Grabbing - Give Us This Day - Has Made Edward Happy and Grateful Every Day.

Taking what you have - making Life. Being Filled With God.

We think our oldest son passed the Bar Exam we prayed about. He is concerned about finding his first job in this time period.

We had a call from New Mexico,  dear friends are both unemployed and will totally change life for their family taking a grandfather with them. They are embracing the change for something new they rather hoped to do.

We had a call today from the East Coast, dear friends are very worried about masking making political decisions when their health has underlying conditions. One feels rude to speak up.

Edward was worried today in public for a public person in Houston deciding at close to age 70 not to mask up. How do you say to the older people - don't run around without a mask? With Covid brains and not as a close friend - what do you say? People overreact these days.

We can pray.




The message is from 2018. It's not political - this is HEART.

This is an interesting commentary - when choices are narrower.

Narrower choices can lead to a deeper observation

and life changes of great meaning

with personal and soul filled Joy 

Petra, we recognize the Alhambra. Unless we see how truly enormous this old Temple is. We need perspective.

And incredibly narrow path journey to Petra. Land of Esau.

The Entrance to Petra is Wadi Muse, a corruption of the word "Moses".

 It is believed the Children of Israel visited Petra, before it was developed, in their journey. This can flood and kill the unwary with flash floods. Camels are often taken today. 

It's a long journey on Camels down the Wadi Muse

Where we will stand to launch from:

Believing God is for us.

Of one thing we can be certain. All have fallen short of the Glory of God.
And in learning this, we will find ourselves disappointed in all people at one time or another. And if we had to rely upon our own good intentions and goodness - we wouldn't save ourselves. We will even let ourselves down. And we really need to see our own motivation to God. Finding in ourselves what Nature of God pulls us to His Love.

God has said Rise up.

Deuteronomy 31:6
"Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

God loves us to know God goes with us.

An Arrow travels a Narrow Path

Who knew even an arrow could wobble?

God still finds the Way, Truth and Life.

Isaiah 49:1-6 

Listen to me, you islands;

hear this, you distant nations:

Before I was born the Lord called me;

from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name.

2 He made my mouth like a sharpened sword,

in the shadow of his hand he hid me;

he made me into a polished arrow

and concealed me in his quiver.

3 He said to me, “You are my servant,

Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.”

4 But I said, “I have labored in vain;

I have spent my strength for nothing at all.

Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand,

and my reward is with my God.”

5 And now the Lord says—

he who formed me in the womb to be his servant

to bring Jacob back to him

and gather Israel to himself,

for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord

and my God has been my strength—

6 He says:

“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant

to restore the tribes of Jacob

and bring back those of Israel I have kept.

I will also make you a light for the Gentiles,

that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”

Abba,

We know days can be difficult. And we know where we will put our Trust.

Father, Lord God has called me from the womb,

from the body of my mother, he named my name.

Our God has made mouths, we sometimes use a sharp sword.

We would want His Mercy and Refuge in the shadow of His Hand, He hid me

Our Father God has made me a polished arrow; in His quiver, He hid me away.

 And He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”

Days may come.

I have said, “I have labored in vain;

I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity;

yet surely my right is with the Lord,

and my recompense with my God.”

And now the Lord says,

He who formed me from the womb to be His servant

for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord,

and my God has become my strength—

He says:

“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant

I will make you as a light for the nations,

that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

Thus says the Lord,

The Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One

because of the Lord, who is faithful,

the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

The Restoration of Israel

Thus says the Lord:

“In a time of favor I have answered you;

in a day of salvation, I have helped you

Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;

break forth, O mountains, into singing!

For the Lord has comforted his people

and will have compassion on his afflicted.

Then all flesh shall know

that I am the Lord your Savior,

and your Redeemer

For this Great a Salvation

Praying You cover those we Love.

Ephesians 1 ~ In Love He predestined us for adoption to Himself

Ephesians 1

Greeting
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,

To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus:

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

John 14

“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.”

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 

4 even as he chose us in him before 
the foundation of the world, 

We know Jesus Christ Ascended Bodily into Heaven.

We would like to soar over our problems, sometimes bewildered and confused. 

God our Father put us instead at the foundation. The foundation of the world.

Walking the Red Sea is walking the foundation of the world.

Walking the foundations of the world, with dry feet.

Literally we have reached the depths.

 \

In the midst of crossing the Red Sea, it wasn't physical isolation - yet surely - 

the amount of fear was debilitating. The required calm to not panic others.

Something our concerns today could relate to this circumstance.

That we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 

7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, 
which he set forth in Christ 
10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

Cloud by day, Fire by Night

would take the desert and bloom

just enough to understand God's provision

yet still the desert

where all understood - they wanted something more

The desert of the Exodus would Bloom.

God had made the desert livable.

Allowing us in the intense change,

to believe in Heaven.

11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, 
having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 

God has never left us in the desert.

13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, 
and believed in him, 
were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 
14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him

18 Having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints

19 And what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe,
according to the working of his great might 20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 

21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

In this season of being tired, in a season of striving, in a season of serious concerns, and people who act so oddly. We will not remain tired and drained as we do the Good Works God has prepared for us to walk in.

Ephesians 3:17-19

So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

 Then you, being rooted and grounded in love,  may have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth of His love

 And to know the love of Christ 

that surpasses knowledge, 

that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Abba,

Jesus Prays for us all daily. Wonderful.
Almighty God!

Open our hearts to Your Presence

in a Mighty and Powerful Way,

To know You Love!

You are So Strong, Father God.

Help us to Seek You First, Guiding us to open our eyes to You and Your Heaven and Possibilities.

To bring Heaven by call, act and to give others Heaven.

Eyes beyond ourselves to be Part of You. To see Your earth as Good and delight in mankind.

To live by faith. The Work You have given all mankind. Be encouraged.

Jesus, Wonderful Jesus, we ask despair, hopelessness to lift. The Emptiness to be lifted to You.

All are given the ministry to Have Your Living Spirit. And in this ministry, we will not lose Heart.

Hard pressed on every side, but we are not crushed. Perplexed - Not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. Life is At Work in Us in Jesus Christ. Raised with Jesus. He is Present.

We are called to make a difference in our world. We will not give up and rely on Jesus praying for us daily.

In Jesus, His Love, to end dejection, depression and apathetic thoughts. Paul was kept alive by his Unshakable Belief in Jesus we can do all things. Renewed daily, raised by Jesus. This is Good News for Us.

We are not alone, this is momentary affliction. In Jesus, Life will be revealed in us.

In Affliction -

Daily we will laugh, think, let our emotions move us to tears. Where we have been, where we are and Jesus will take us where we want to be. Find the Blessings of give us this Day. Work hard to find the Blessing. In Jesus, we will not lose heart. God is for us.

All Things work together for Good, for those who Love the Lord and work according to His Purpose.

Jesus help us in this Nation to be in Your Word and more Joyful.

Covered in God's Love, we are with God. Not left. Be Encouraged.

Judges 13:6-18 Samson's Parents

6 Then the woman came and told her husband, “A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome. I did not ask him where he was from, and he did not tell me his name, 7 but he said to me,
‘Behold,
you shall conceive and bear a son. So then drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’”

8 Then Manoah prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent come again to us and teach us what we are to do with the child who will be born.”

9 And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field.

But Manoah her husband was not with her. 10 So the woman ran quickly and told her husband, “Behold, the man who came to me the other day has appeared to me.”

11 And Manoah arose and went after his wife and came to the man and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to this woman?”

And he said, “I am.”

12 And Manoah said, “Now when your words come true, what is to be the child's manner of life, and what is his mission?”

13 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her be careful. 14 She may not eat of anything that comes from the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, or eat any unclean thing. All that I commanded her let her observe.”

15 Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, “Please let us detain you and prepare a young goat for you.”

16 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, “If you detain me, I will not eat of your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering, then offer it to the Lord.” (For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of the Lord.)

17 And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, “What is your name, so that, when your words come true, we may honor you?”

18 And the angel of the Lord said to him, “Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?”



19 So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering, and offered it on the rock to the Lord, to the one who works wonders, and Manoah and his wife were watching. 20 And when the flame went up toward heaven from the altar, the angel of the Lord went up in the flame of the altar. 

Now Manoah and his wife were watching, and they fell on their faces to the ground.

Father God assures us His Holy Spirit is with us in the fire.

Acts 2

3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit 

and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

Abba, Our GOD,
