Psalm 98 ~ The Lord has revealed His Righteousness in the sight of the nations

 

Psalm 98 ~ The Lord has made known his salvation; he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

Psalm 98

Oh sing to the Lord a new song,

for he has done marvelous things!

His right hand and His holy arm

have worked salvation for Him.

2 The Lord has made known His Salvation;

He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations.

3 He has remembered His steadfast love and faithfulness

to the house of Israel.

All the ends of the earth have seen

the salvation of our God.

Make a joyful noise to the Lord

 

all the earth

break forth into joyous song and sing praises!

5 Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,

with the lyre and the sound of melody!

6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn

make a joyful noise

 before the King, the Lord!

7 Let the sea roar, 

and all that fills it;

the world and those who dwell in it!

8 Let the rivers clap their hands;

let the hills sing for joy together

9 before the Lord, 

for He comes

to judge the earth.

He will judge the world with righteousness,

and the peoples with equity.

~ for He has done marvelous things!

His right hand and His holy arm

have worked salvation for Him.

2 The Lord has made known His Salvation

Micah 5:2

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,

though you are small among the clans of Judah,

out of you will come for me

one who will be ruler over Israel,

whose origins are from of old,

from ancient times.”

Isaiah 7:14

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign. 

Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, 

and shall call His Name Immanuel.

Luke 2:25-32

Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law, 28 he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,

29 “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace,

according to your word;

30 for my eyes have seen your salvation

31 that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,

 a Light 

for revelation to the Gentiles,

and for glory 

to your people Israel.”

2 Samuel 7:12-16

When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors,

 I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, 

your own flesh and blood, 

and I will 

establish His Kingdom.

 13 He is the one who will build a house for my Name, 

and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 

14 I will be His Father, 

and He will be My Son. 

When he does wrong, I will punish him with a rod wielded by men, 

with floggings inflicted by human hands. 

15 But My Love will never be taken away from him, 

as I took it away from Saul, 

whom I removed from before you. 

16 Your house and your kingdom 

will endure forever before Me; 

your throne will be established forever. 

Daniel 2:44

“In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.

Isaiah 9:1-2

Nevertheless, 

there will be no more gloom

 for those who were 

in distress. 

In the past He humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,

 but in the future 

He will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, 

beyond the Jordan—

2 The people walking in darkness

have seen a great light;

on those living in the land of deep darkness

a Light has dawned.

Luke 2:14 

 “Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace among those with whom He is pleased!”

John 1

4 In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.

 5 The Light shines in the darkness, 

and the darkness has not overcome it.

The True Light, which gives Light to everyone, 

was coming into the world.

Abba, Father,

Almighty God, our heavenly Father,

 guide the nations of the world 

into the way of justice and truth, 

and establish among

them that peace which is the fruit of righteousness, 

that they

may become the kingdom of our Lord 

and Savior Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Eternal God, 

in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn

but the sword of righteousness, 

no strength known but the

strength of love: 

So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, 

that

all peoples 

may be gathered under the banner 

of the Prince of Peace, 

as children of one Father; 

to whom be dominion 

and

glory, now and forever. 

Amen.

Dwell in us, Father,

we ask in the Highest Name of Jesus.

Dwell, fully, in those we love

Help us to seek You 

first

and we will finish well 

in Jesus Christ.

We pray 

Peace

for Israel

and Your Good Creation.

Continued Healing

Malachi 3:10-18 ~ one who serves God †

Malachi 3:10-18

Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in My House. 

And thereby put Me to the test, says the Lord of Hosts, 

if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. 11 I will rebuke the devourer[Probably a name for some crop-destroying pest] for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of Hosts. 12 Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.

13 “Your words have been hard against me, says the Lord. 

But you say, ‘How have we spoken against you?’ 14 You have said, ‘It is vain to serve God. What is the profit of our keeping His charge or of walking as in mourning before the Lord of Hosts? 15 And now we call the arrogant blessed. Evildoers not only prosper but they put God to the test and they escape.’”

16 Then those who feared the Lord spoke with one another. The Lord paid attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who feared the Lord and esteemed His Name.

 17 “They shall be mine, says the Lord of Hosts, 

in the day when I make up My treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him. 18 Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.”

We know the Promises of God. So well we know His Words, we need another way to think of all the Astonishment Jesus Spoke and stirred up many to either love the Rock of our Salvation or the stumbling block God speaks of.

Most of us remember Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark  and the vast storehouse hiding God, Who Cannot be hidden. However, "Thee" First Council of Nicaea approved by the Holy Spirit approved Maccabees: Jeremiah wrote the Babylonian Exiles, while Jeremiah was free, 2 Maccabees 2:4-9 - The Ark is on Mt. Nebo and is well hidden by Jeremiah knowing the Babylonian Empire was coming, then hidden and sealed by God Himself.

 

THE STOREHOUSES OF GOD

Romans 10:9

If you declare with your mouth, 

“Jesus is Lord,” 

and believe in your heart 

that God raised Him from the dead, 

you will be saved.

Deuteronomy 28:12

The Lord will open to you His good treasury, the heavens, 

to give the rain to your land in its season 

and 

to bless all the work of your hands. 

And you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.

Luke 12 

31 But seek His Kingdom, 

and these things will be added unto you. 

32 Do not be afraid, little flock, 

Your Father is pleased to give you the Kingdom.

Psalm 38

38 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

2 “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?

3 Dress for action like a man;

    I will question you, and you make it known to me.

4 “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?

    Tell me, if you have understanding.

5 Who determined its measurements—surely you know!

    Or who stretched the line upon it?

6 On what were its bases sunk,

    or who laid its cornerstone,

7 when the morning stars

sang together

    and 

all the sons of God shouted 

for joy?

8 “Or who shut in the sea with doors

    when it burst out from the womb,

9 when I made clouds its garment

    and thick darkness its swaddling band,

10 and prescribed limits for it

    and set bars and doors,

11 and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther,

    and here shall your proud waves be stayed’?

12 “Have you commanded the morning since your days began,

    and caused the dawn to know its place,

13 that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth,

    and the wicked be shaken out of it?

14 It is changed like clay under the seal,

    and its features stand out like a garment.

15 From the wicked their light is withheld,

    and their uplifted arm is broken.

16 “Have you entered into the springs of the sea,

    or walked in the recesses of the deep?

17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you,

    or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?

18 Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?

    Declare, if you know all this.

19 “Where is the way to the dwelling of Light,

    and where is the place of darkness,

20 that you may take it to its territory

    and that you may discern the paths to its home?

21 You know, for you were born then,

    and the number of your days is great!

22 “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,

    or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,

23 which I have reserved for the time of trouble,

    for the day of battle and war?

24 What is the way to the place where the light is distributed,

    or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?

25 “Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain

    and a way for the thunderbolt,

26 to bring rain on a land where no man is,

    on the desert in which there is no man,

27 to satisfy the waste and desolate land,

    and to make the ground sprout with grass?

28 “Has the rain a father,

    or who has begotten the drops of dew?

29 From whose womb did the ice come forth,

    and who has given birth to the frost of heaven?

30 The waters become hard like stone,

    and the face of the deep is frozen.

31 “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades

    or loose the cords of Orion?

32 Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season,

    or can you guide the Bear with its children?

33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?

    Can you establish their rule on the earth?

34 “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,

    that a flood of waters may cover you?

35 Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go

    and say to you, ‘Here we are’?

36 Who has put wisdom in the inward parts

    or given understanding to the mind?

37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom?

    Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,

38 when the dust runs into a mass

    and the clods stick fast together?

39 “Can you hunt the prey for the lion,

    or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

40 when they crouch in their dens

    or lie in wait in their thicket?

41 Who provides for the raven its prey,

    when its young ones cry to God for help,

    and wander about for lack of food?

Deuteronomy 11:13-15

And it shall come to pass,

 if ye shall hearken diligently unto 

My Commandments 

which I command you this day, 

to love the LORD your God,

 and 

to serve Him 

with all your heart 

and 

with all your soul

Galatians 6:9

9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, 

for in due season we will reap, 

if we do not give up.

He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap;

He puts the deeps 

in 

storehouses.

Psalm 135:7

He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, 

Who makes lightnings for the rain 

and brings forth the wind from 

His Storehouses.

Abba, Father,

Almighty God, our heavenly Father,
