Psalm 91 ~ “Because he holds fast to Me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows My Name. "




Psalm 91


1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my refuge—
10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no plague come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder;
the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.

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

15 When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble 

I will rescue him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”


Curtis Martin, formerly of the New York Jets, read Psalm 91 before every game.
Martin became a Christian at the age of 20 after listening to a pastor, and he remembers his first encounter with God during his Hall of Fame enshrinement in 2012.

Curtis Martin and his mother, Rochella, began a long reconciliation process with his father, Curtis Sr.

In 1990, Curtis Sr. checked into a veteran’s hospital for two weeks followed by a six-month stay at a rehabilitation center and was able to remain sober through his death, due to cancer (June 2009 at age 58). In 1998, on Father's Day, Curtis Martin, Sr was honored, by a new, furnished condominium, his father had left the family due to his addictions to cocaine and alcohol. The family members made peace with each other in the final weeks of the elder Martin's life.

Curtis Martin's retirement, in July 2007, completed his career having amassed 14,101 total rushing yards, the fourth highest total in NFL history. Curtis Martin also became an advocate for women against violence.






Martin married his longtime girlfriend Carolina Williams in 2010. On December 15, 2011, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Ava.

He was selected for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on February 4, 2012, and formally inducted on August 4, 2012. Martin's speech, which he conducted without notes, was widely praised by critics for its sincerity. The Jets retired Martin's No. 28 jersey on September 9, 2012.

On November 11, 2013, Martin was added to the Miami Dolphins' five-man committee to develop the conduct code by owner Stephen M. Ross.


1 Chronicles 29:11
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.

Exodus 14:14
The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Martin said that when people can see the opportunity for blessings through pain, they find the strength to endure. 

As a guest on a recent podcast episode of “A Bit of Optimism with Simon Sinek,” 
Martin reflected on George Floyd’s death and what it means for the black community and all of America. Martin recounted stories of growing up with an abusive father and surrounded by violence in his neighborhood, he said he would often choose to suffer rather than to turn to law enforcement.

“We live with that fear on top of the distrust on top of the visions of injustice that we’ve witnessed in our own communities all the time,” Martin said.

Floyd’s death opened old wounds for black people and perhaps gave white people a perspective they’d never seen before. “White America got a glimpse of what Black America literally lives with all of our lives,” Martin said. Martin believes there are new possibilities for strong leadership and true change.

“Hidden behind our biggest challenges are some of our biggest blessings and biggest opportunities,” Martin said, adding, “I think that if we could learn how to use this pain and frustration, or whatever it may be, and pull something positive out of it on an individual level, I think it translates into a community level eventually.”

Martin shared a story from his days as an NFL running back to drive home the point. He dislocated his shoulder during a game against the Giants, but instead of heading to the locker room, he asked to have his arm taped to his side, so he could return to action. After nearly every play, Martin fought through immense pain to get back to the huddle. He finished the game and he finished the season, one of the best seasons of his career.

Martin sees a parallel in the story of Jesus on the cross.

“I remember reading this Bible verse one day and it talked about Jesus. 
And it said, ‘because of the glory that was set before Him, Christ endured the cross’ (paraphrase of Hebrews 12:2). And what it’s saying is that Jesus had His eyes on the way that Him dying on that cross was going to help so many people and inspire so many people,” Martin said.

Jesus faced unimaginable pain, but what held Him on the cross was the joy of what was to come.

“Because of that vision of what was on the other side of the cross, that helped Jesus endure the cross. I believe that we all have our own personal cross in life, but instead of enduring that cross, we try to avoid it, and in avoiding that, we also avoid that blessing. … If we can keep our eyes somewhat focused on the greater good that will come out of the pain, I think it gives us the motivation to endure,” Martin said.




Martin became a Christian at the age of 20 after listening to a pastor, and he recalled his first encounter with God during his Hall of Fame enshrinement in 2012.

“My mother never raised me telling me about God or anything. But I said I’ve got to go to the nearest church and tell this God, ‘God, thank You because I know I’m not faster than a bullet. I’m not Superman. But somehow I seem to have had more than nine lives.’




“So I looked up and talked to God like He was one of my boys in the street. 
I said, ‘Listen, man, I don’t know nothing about You or this Jesus cat that everybody talks about, but I’m going to make a deal with You. I heard about people making deals with the devil, but I don’t want to do that. I’m going to make a deal with You. If You let me live past 21, dude, I promise that I’ll just try to do my best and try to live right and try to do whatever You want me to do. I know You’re a smart person, if You’re God.'”




Former NFL running back Curtis Martin played through pain at various times throughout his 11-year career with the New England Patriots and New York Jets. 

By the end, he had earned five trips to the Pro Bowl and a golden jacket from the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Martin did manage to escape his meager upbringing and played college football for Pitt before heading to the 1995 NFL Draft. After being selected by the Patriots in the third round, he headed for the Jets after three seasons. Martin retired in 2006. He said he wore his iconic No. 28 because of the 28th chapter in the book of Deuteronomy, which talks about “Blessings for Obedience.”

Isaiah 25:1-9 ~ LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You.

 

Isaiah 25:1-9





O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you; I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.


2 For you have made the city a heap, the fortified city a ruin; the foreigners' palace is a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.

3 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.

6 On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.

7 And he will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil that is spread over all nations.

8 He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken.

9 It will be said on that day, "Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation." 




In Texas, this week:

People are talking about how this Pandemic has affected them and those they care about: the upheaval and the news telling us new horrors of reason and unreason.

And to be very honest, this is about the same story as Sweating Sickness in England and Black Plague in France. This is the mind of pandemic on the rev up of try and try and try and find pain. Pretty historically accurate.

This week I've been told about 5 lifetime friendships. Maybe six. In fact, seven.

People. Oh gosh, what you goin' to do with the fallen culture and People?
In fact, People are the discussion. In fact, it is the Relationships and this Pandemic creating the stir.  The downheartedness. The Care. The wonder where we are going. People are actually very distressed about each other.

And if we start with 'The Pinnacle"  of the worry. The Bone Deep Worry.
We find the worry is that culture has been having problems. People aren't gathering in homes to have cake and watch the game.  The national level of friendship before the Pandemic was two. You get to have two friends. Go forth. It's not what we grew up with. It's not the culture of Birthday parties, baby pools and hot dogs.


I'd like to tell you Seven examples of family and friends worrying about each other and the tremulous concerns for society and self. I think you will be encouraged.

Because I want to Live, I'm going to positively "Change" "The" "Names."



Life Situation One 

The family divorced. The father announced the wife wasn't grand enough to advance his aspirations and being father to this group was not to his taste any longer. The family left, left. They spread their wings and find company where worthier endeavors can be found. And the leftovers aren't warm.  And the tangles will continue.

This one is mine.
I have one side to report this is on an uptick.
The people who didn't talk, suddenly do talk, and during the Pandemic will have fuss ups and dust ups and try again. This is one of the seven events of friendship discussed this week.
And it's mine. And its warmer as July compared to January. Thank God. Pandemic time did something positive.





Life and the Situations Two

A different Family. They are in the same history boat as my family. And in the middle of years of dust ups and the dust downs and the 'tell off'. They are struggling in the crisis of Covid. Come to the hospital?  Now? Heroism and variables of cohesiveness. I'd like to report. Heroism is being coupled with Valor we can relate to. Not self-sacrifice of die now, it's so awful. Instead, this Valor makes us all want to Live. The answer has been achieved reaching out the first responders. 

Here are the fake names:  Betty and Mildred are sisters. 
They play checkers with the game of life and the blessings and curses. One has looks and disasters and substance abuse and a lifetime of marriage. One has kindness, career, a new family, and overcoming. A year it's warm, B year it's off. Add in Hurricanes and horror. Now put Covid in with co-morbidities and the desire for reconciliation in heroism. How did they do? I'd say both sisters are to be proud of. And we are all concerned with our nation and future. The First Responders found ways for this family to be close and far enough apart. No one abandoned their responsibilities and because of the diligent fight for the real peace and not the nicey peace, sustainable lifetimes are going to happen.

Life isn't perfect, and they sort this out well. This week is no exception. It is not exaggerated to say this week is life and death for this family. And no one has gotten through this without life making permanent changes. The Solutions are working. And found together.

We are praying for Life for Mildred and peace in the Lord for Betty. The miracle they have found to be family in life and death time. Amen in Jesus.


Isaiah 25:1-9 ~ LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you; I will praise your name, for You have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.




This is Life Situation Three
Long-Time Friendships

Bob is really upset, his voice drags when he speaks. 
He has made the dreams he had 5 years go happen. His extended family is feeling secure in their home and family and plans. Surrounded with people happy with what is what.

He wants to make changes. A lot of this is relationship people to people. It's every day the same worries. Same job, his peers have the same problems. Same drive to and from work. Bob has two elderly parents. Bob is throwing substance on to the fire of trapped and bored and fried. His problem is basically revolving around the people he cares about, as well. He genuinely likes his peers, but their coping mechanism of aging is topless bars. He isn't happy white-collar friends, goals met, at the shake 'em ups. Bob wants to leave. His spouse is happy and wants life to be secure in this insecure time. Living the dream during Pandemic.

Bob is probably going to be ok. 
He has genuine friends Bob can call and talk about what is going on. Bob's wife is informed, but wants security during Pandemic. Bob's concern is probably the alcohol. Good Bob is very left-wing, who isn't sure about what the news is showing at night. Worried to watch. Worried not to watch. He has plenty of right-wing friends, and he is concerned at the level of anger. And wonders how we all got here and what will we do. 

Pandemics happen in times of discomfort, we discuss History. These have a way of creating waves that last two, three years of Pandemic and then three years of calming back down to find relief life didn't end.

On a Christian Blog, we would ask what to do with Jesus?  
Howdy Neighbor ala Homer Simpson isn't really going to work here. Jesus is the Cornerstone. Not what do we do about Jesus! But there, really, is a lot of prayer going on. And the good buddy Bob is so worried about, who is right wing is going to pray for Bob as well. Bob is worried about a right-wing friend and about two shake em ups. Bob is a good man.

In this set of concerns, are five friends.



Hay, Hey



This is Life Situation Four

This is the Friendship Concern Section of behavioral changes and friendships.

A friend of mine is very concerned.  
Belinda - Her dear, dear friend knew she was Very Republican and her very dear friend, Sassy, was Very Liberal, since the last war. They knew very well indeed knowing they were vast oceans apart politically. And for over a decade they got on as peas in a pod from a different mother. Sassy and Belinda really enjoyed telling their friendship and tales.  Like lines on a highway, they knew how to change lanes and how to relate. Until the second month into the Pandemic. Suddenly! The sky was falling. Because of Headline Daily Disaster List on column seven, subset B. Lies, lies, one side tells lies.

Now they have zero communication as Sassy said no more. Column 7, subset B is now in prosecution in the News Column Row Three.

Suzy has a similar concern. Another friend has decided it's the end of the world, and they don't speak much. Calls go unanswered. And more calls go unanswered. And sometimes one is returned. But life is making this friendship more difficult.

But Belinda and Suzy have something in common. Both have a family who has decided family takes care of its own. More financial sharing, more time together. Milestones and upheavals bring these families closer.

As Christians, we see God is interweaving His Plan of hope and a future in the middle of the waves Solomon says good news and bad news is from the hand of God Himself.






This is Life Situation Five


Stella has always been a good girl. Sadly, she wasn't one cut out to be as successful as her parents were. Such a great person, except she is a little shy.  And the art project went well, but if she was more self-assured her hair would look better. That fashion is so great on everyone, and good on Stella too, but why did she pick that green color? With more help from Magnificent Mother, Stella will live a better life. Understanding Mother is always right. Do more chores, Stella.

Pat was a fabulous son. Sadly, he isn't a great Christian, like the rest of the family, but he's gaining in strength. It's because he isn't generous. He quits when he should press farther on. Sometimes Pat is astonishingly kind and generous, and we are surprised greatly.  But we remember he did do some things back then. Lately, he is too discouraged, but people weak in the Lord do get so discouraged. We have to pray for the rest of us to do better than Pat. He is a good son, we just need him to be more like Sam. Sam is stellar.

Not everything in the Pandemic is bad. I have a good friend who is spending time away from the constant compliment that begins to sound like a backhanded drip. Sometimes time spent from the family forest is better to see the line of the trees.

God has a way of taking time out to help us see how we need each other in Mercy and Grace. God be with the families who enjoy putting one down to elevate another, to put the other down. Put downs are not necessarily wisdom.

This runs in politics, the office and friendships. And even in Network News. God is the One who will Bring His Goodness into Fruition. We all must Love ourselves.


God Bless us to Pull Together.  
Let us love one another. Love covers a multitude of sins. And be as wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove. Amen in Jesus.









This is Life Situation Six


Anything you can do, I can do better.

People have reached the time they are Weary. You will find out the car has been washed once in a year.  Haircuts are vastly different, not to mention hair color. Weight gain is considered both politely and impolitely.

And really, most of us feel more like the first red tractor in the field photo at some point this week. But Hmmmmmm, the song is going to be sung by the people who are tired of feeling like the first tractor. My tractor is bigger than your tractor. My tractor is mighty lovely and fine.

Corrie Ten Boom said when you feel powerless, feel prayer. Prayer is when we believe God is God and His Plan is working. Mercies renew each day. Pandemics end. Relationships repair with time and prayer and patience and persistence. Persistence in finding the Blessings. Persistence in being a Blessing. 

Yes, we arrived at the Pandemic in a cross-cultural time.
Historically, yes. 









Luke 12:32 
 Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure 
to give you the Kingdom.



Abba, Father God,

Bless us with All Your Willing Favor.
We will seek and find You First.

Help Your Blessings pour upon the lives
of those we Love
to
Fill them with Your Grace and Goodness.

In Your Good Plan
and in Your Goodness
of a Hope and Future.

We will Prevail.

Bless Elliott to heal in Your Good Word.

Bless the real people in these situations.
To have Love and Faith and Hope to Share.

In Jesus Christ
Our Salvation
Our Joy in You, Father God.
Amen.

Luke 9:18-27 ~ In His Glory and the Glory of the Father and the Holy angels





Luke 9:18-27


18 Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. 

And he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” 

19 And they answered, “John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.” 

20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 

And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

21 And he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one, 22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.”

23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 

24 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.

 25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? 

26 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 

27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”




Jesus is interested in living in the Glory of God.
And more for Blessing, asking us to Join in the Kingdom of God.

Luke 9. We know the Disciples are in awe, Jesus is delightedly working within His Father's Plan and Master Workmanship.

Two Chapters from Luke 9, Luke 11, the Disciples will ask Jesus to teach them to Pray. Jesus, in His Glory, the Glory of His Father and the Holy angels, Jesus has an idea the Disciples are going to ask Jesus how to Pray.

And remember, when the Disciples ask Jesus, this really sounds like more of a blunt request or an order, they mention John the Baptist. This is the beginning of Jesus teaching the Disciples to Pray.

1. Who are you surrounding yourself with? What do they say about God?

2.  Who do you say I Am?  Jesus didn't ask about what they thought. Jesus is interested in what they profess with their words and mouth. The Messiah of God, the Christ, Jesus Christ wants to know if this is a light hidden under a bushel. 

Jesus says: "Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father."

Jesus is interested in living in the Glory of God. Jesus is inviting the Disciples and telling them about the Journey of Life is a Prodigal Son Test.




3. Cancel the flying carpet. Jesus is saying this is something we can't go around, Can't go under.  The Call of God upon our very lives. The Glory of God.

The True Meaning of Life. What we really value. 

Matthew 13

44 The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field. 

45Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls. 46When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.






The Prodigal Son happens over time. Season pass. The journey seems to say this has time as well. Those who travel with Jesus are supposed to progress. John 6. The Boat arrived immediately.


When He comes in His glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 

27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here 
who will not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God.”



Heaven, it is written, is the by the Trees of Life and Shining Water



  Micah 4:3 
He shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide for strong nations far away; 
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; 
nation shall not lift up sword against nation, 
neither shall they learn war anymore
  
2 Timothy 1:9 
Who saved us and called us to a holy calling,
 not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, 
which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began  
  
James 1:18 
Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, 
that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creation  
  
Psalm 98:3
He has remembered His lovingkindness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Psalm 67:2
That Your way may be known on the earth,
Your salvation among all nations.

Isaiah 45:22
Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth;
For I am God, and there is no other.



Abba, Father God,

When we pray, we remember Jesus and His Faith. His delight in the Centurion's faith.

This time and season has so many upset and today, literally, the toy Mr. Potato Head had controversy.
No one every thought the Daily Damage report would incorporate Mr. Potato Head. 

The Kingdom of Heaven is not Medieval. The Kingdom of Heaven is not French Provençal The Kingdom of Heaven doesn't delete Egypt from the time of Moses or Jesus, or today. Cory Ten Boom never believed the Kingdom of Heaven would skip the Dutch era of her life. When Cory Ten Boom was helpless, she felt empowered. Cory Ten Boom believed we look at the difficulties of life and we keep looking at the trouble with faith and patience. God was still working, Jesus is still working. Space Force is part of the Kingdom of Heaven.
And in all manner of God's Creation, we will find the Goodness of God.

Help us to look for You first, Father God.
To see the Kingdom of Heaven and Find Your Goodness.
Let Your Light of the world, the Light of Jesus Christ in all of mankind
be seen as we live with Faith, Hope and Love.

Bless our Nation and those in authority to
be chosen in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love, He predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, 
according to the purpose of His will.

Protect and Love those we Love in Jesus Christ.
Bless our Families.
Protect our Communities.
Let Your Willing Love Stretch to all of Creation.

We lift up our concerns for the day and ask for Your Help.
We lift up Cindy and her sister, for Janet's healing and Jesus to Help.
Jesus Christ, we pray for Elliott to be healed.

We pray for all of the Mr. Potato Head of the world. 
And we never thought we'd have to pray about That.

From Ghoulies and Ghosties and Long-legged Beasties and things that go
Bump and wake us up in the middle of the night,
God Lord Jesus
Deliver us.
All the Good Creation. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

We ask to be in the Presence of Your Son, Jesus' Glory,
in the Presence of Your Glory Father
and in the Help of Your Holy Angels,
who stand in Your Glory.

To the Praise and Glory of You, Father,
In Jesus Christ, Deliver us All. Amen.


Isaiah 49:1
Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: 
Before I was born the LORD called me; 
from my birth he has made mention of my name.


Matthew 7:13-14
Enter through the narrow gate.


John 10:9
I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, 
and will go in and out and find pasture.






Isaiah 35:8
And there will be a highway called the Way of Holiness. 
The unclean will not travel it, only those who walk in that Way

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. <><
