133 Keep steady my steps according to your promise,
and let no iniquity get dominion over me.
134 Redeem me from man's oppression,
that I may keep your precepts.
135 Make your face shine upon your servant,
and teach me your statutes.
136 My eyes shed streams of tears,
because people do not keep your law.
The Southern Stairs for the Temple in Jerusalem
Psalm 119 was typically sung while the choir ascended the Southern Stairs of the Temple. This was for High Holy Days.
Psalm 119 is divided into 22 sections of 8 verses each. Each section has a title, such as "Aleph," "Beth," "Gimel," "Daleth," and so on. These titles are actually not words; they are the letters that make up the Hebrew alphabet which has 22 letters, so Psalm 119 has 22 sections.
A Puritan Preacher, Rev. Thomas Manton wrote 130 Sermons on Psalm 119. The information in this one Psalm with 176 verses is vast.

This section has trouble finding the Psalmist & he cries out he has not done anything to deserve this trouble. A lot of life is looking for a solution to a tangled problem. This Psalm has the solution to all troubles. Patiently wait upon the Lord.
Paul looked at trouble, with contentment, to see what Father God would make of tragedy, inconvenience, dire straits and weakness; he had curiosity to seek how God would use the situation to His Glory.
Psalm 107 is a great comfort when the wild winds of life howl. There is an analogy of men tossed on a ship in a ferocious storm having great fear. With Jesus Christ's name and faith in God, the ship is brought to a desired haven of peace.
Romans 13:11,12
11And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
Ephesians 6:13-15
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints
2 Corinthians 6:7
in truthful speech and in the power of God;
with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left
Hope, Faith and Love
2 Corinthians 10:4
The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world.
Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up,
just as in fact you are doing.
Pray continually
Rejoice always
John 16:33
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
For this Great a Salvation

Yesterday, today and tomorrow - more Heaven on earth with God's Kingdom,
The world is centuries, and many more thousands, years old. Not known to be peaceful and easy. When we look over the many centuries the Living Word of God covers, we find God focuses on hearts and where they are placed. Archaeologists are always thrilled to find seeds in tombs and ancient sites. Many times, the seeds can be coaxed to life.
We can follow God's thoughts back to the Light of the world. Fragility, danger and Hope.
Jesus Christ spoke of seeds in the seed parable and the hope carrying us forward.
Matthew 13:31-32
He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field. Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
God focuses on the process of Wondrous from the improbable.
Isaiah 51:2 Look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many.
Abraham, from the tremendous hope, arrived to live life in fragile surroundings.

Oaks of Abraham
Hebrews 11:9 And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreigner, living in tents. And so did Isaac and Jacob, who inherited the same promise.
To step inside, yet: Not actually need to know, we pray, Lord. Amen.
I love the tenderness she has displayed to not give up on Life.
The Declaration of Independence says we are given rights by our Creator.

President Trump directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to consider whether any temporary halting of evictions for failure to pay rent are reasonably necessary to prevent further spread of COVID-19. President Trump directs the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (“the “HUD Secretary”) to identify Federal funds that could be used to provide temporary financial assistance to renters and homeowners who are struggling to make monthly payments as a result of financial hardships caused by COVID-19. President Trump also directs the HUD Secretary to take action to promote the ability of renters and homeowners to avoid eviction or foreclosure, including by providing Federal funds to landlords. Finally, President Trump directs the Director of Federal Housing Finance Agency to consult with the Secretary of Treasury to review existing authorities and resources that may be used to limit evictions.
Life is to have a livelihood.
Livelihood. A Plan IS required. Immediately.
The Disaster Relief Memorandum directs FEMA to provide benefits from the Department of Homeland Security’s Disaster Relief Fund and directs states to use their Coronavirus Relief Fund allocation to provide financial relief to unemployed Americans affected by COVID-19, principally through an up to a $400-per-week supplemental unemployment compensation benefit. The Disaster Relief Memorandum makes two significant changes in eligibility compared to the $600 supplemental benefit under CARES. First, the Memorandum requires that to be eligible, an individual must receive at least $100 per week in regular state unemployment compensation assistance (up from $1). Second, the Memorandum requires the individual to certify that his or her lost wages are attributable to disruptions caused by COVID-19. In addition, the funding for this new benefit is different than the funding under the CARES Act because the federal government will only pay for 75% of the costs associated with this benefit. State governments will be responsible for the remaining 25%, subject to an agreement between the federal government and the state with regards to the program and funding.
A much different plan than the cohesive idea displayed for Chicago 8/9/2020.
The looting looked like the idea was actually orchestrated. And this was. The Exodus Chapters 15-40 explain the fears. Yes, this an actual photo from Chicago this weekend. I believe we can all like the more Organized Plan much better. Before we all fall on the ground and howl, we should understand vast plans carried the Exodus forth.
Disaster Relief/Unemployment Insurance Benefits expired July 31, 2020

Not just for those in absolute heartbreak - those in serious circumstance.
The Tax Memorandum directs the Secretary of Treasury to defer the withholding, deposit, and payment of the employee portion of social security tax (but not Medicare tax) on wages or compensation paid during the period of September 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020, if the employee’s wages or compensation payable during any biweekly payroll period are generally less than $4,000, calculated on a pre-tax basis, or the equivalent amount during other payroll periods. Amounts deferred will be without penalties, interest, additional amounts, or additions to tax. The Tax Memorandum directs the Secretary of Treasury to issue guidance to implement the Memorandum and to also find ways to eliminate the deferred tax entirely.
The Education Memorandum directs the Secretary of Education to effectuate waivers of and modifications to the requirements and conditions of economic hardship deferments and provide such deferments as necessary to continue the temporary cessation of payments and the waiver of all interest on student loans held by the Department of Education until December 31, 2020. The Education Memorandum further provides that student loan borrowers may continue to make payments if they wish to do so.
Happiness.
Healthcare protections for millions of Americans in the midst of a raging pandemic. A major executive order requiring health insurance companies to cover all preexisting conditions for all customers," President Trump said on Friday night. 20 Million Americans will be covered. People with preexisting conditions are more likely to have hospitalization with underlying conditions due to the Virus. Those needing extra assistance will not live in fear of huge medical costs if the Covid virus should arrive.
If we look to the Exodus, you will find 1,213 Verses help us to understand a population reeling to understand, cooperate, motivate, inspire and soothe all the Children of God in the midst of vast changes. We all understand Moses decided to take 40 days to speak with God and the People of God panicked. For Democrats and Republicans, we all understand a Plan has to be found.
Our local Radio Station, KSBJ, asks all listeners of our 4th largest City, Houston, to pray down at high noon. Harris County, Texas is the USA's 2nd largest Population. We say the Lord's Prayer at Noon. The prayer is all seasons, Covid or not. The idea is to pray for the United States of America and present our own prayer requests. To let God know, we love and care for Him and one another. Please, set your phone alarm and join us.
As you help us by your prayers.
Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort
And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.
He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us again. On Him we have set our hope
this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God,
Who raises the dead.
I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia,
and then to have you send me on my way to Judea.
For no matter how many promises God has made,
they are "Yes" in Christ.
And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us – by me and Silas and Timothy – was not "Yes" and "No," but in him it has always been "Yes."
Set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
Abba, Father God,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so
through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.
For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.
Now may the God of endurance and encouragement grant you harmony
with one another in Christ Jesus, so that with one mind and one voice you may
glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We pray trouble to Leave, in the Name of Jesus.
Obadiah 1:13 Do not enter the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; do not gloat over his disaster in the day of his calamity; do not loot his wealth in the day of his calamity.

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." 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” 8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves. 12 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. 15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. 18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me. 25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father.
Rise, let us go from here.
Mount Tabor is the mountain easily climbed, pretty well determined to be the site of the Transfiguration.
And would easily fit into 2020 being an uphill climb.
And in going with the Lord God we are going forth in this 2020 year.
Isaiah 57:10
You wearied yourself by such going about, but you would not say, 'It is hopeless.' You found renewal of your strength, and so you did not faint.
Patmos and Mount Tabor are a little similar and John was there for both. This is the view from John's Cave on Patmos.
One Sunday, the cave walls fell away and John was sitting with Jesus about 60 years later.
When we think about renewal, where would you anticipate your soul to live in your body? Brain? Most people would say near the heart - giving the heart importance in emotional responses.
Deliberation. Make your soul deliberately placed for heart, prayer, love and emotions renewal daily. Making our eternal soul
Prepared for the Lord.
What if your soul has a entrance like the cave John lived in on Patmos?
Job 14:14
If someone dies, will they live again?
All the days of my hard service I will wait for my renewal to come.
Matthew 19:28
Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones,
judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
Titus 3:5
He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit
Your brain will not remember your life - your soul will.
Abba,
Live and dwell in us this day and always.
Live in those we Love, we ask in Jesus Christ.
When we seek You first, Father God. Each day is sufficient.
We find more Heaven on earth. And give more Heaven on earth.
In Jesus, finding we are excited about Love or God or the day or a new plan.
God's Mercies Renew. Daily. This optimism is called in Scripture,
"Daily He Loadeth us with Benefits."
The Joy of the Lord is Strength.
Soulful prayers, a tool for the heart, brain and soul. To deliberately find what is joyful in Life. When one is excessively burdened, the beginning of mindful prayers can make the eyes mist up. Fine, well and good. The Journey has begun to find what is good to create Strength and Joy. Thanks be unto God, our Father.
Our Father in Heaven,
hallowed be Your Name.
10 Your kingdom come,
Your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Yours is the Kingdom,
the Power
and the Glory.
Jesus help us in this Nation to be in Your Word Joyfully
filling us with Your Kingdom, Power and Glory.

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. <><
