Psalm 91:4 ~ He will cover you

Psalm 91:4

He will cover you with his pinions,

and under his wings you will find refuge;

his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.

Jesus longed to hold His People in His arms. What does it look like to be held and covered as if God covers us in His Wings.

Jesus is the exact representation of His Father.


Luke 5

7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. 8When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.” 9For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken.

Jesus did the Will of God. Jesus would expect Peter to continue in God's Will.

There were 10 lepers healed. 1 turned back to give thanks. How many people Jesus healed do we know their name?

Mark 10:46-52 Where the walls fall

46 And they came to Jericho.
And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart. Get up; he is calling you.” 50 And throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabbi, let me recover my sight.”

52 And Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.”

And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way.

We also know the name of Simeon, for recognizing the Glory of God in Jesus Christ.


Luke 2

25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27 Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law, 28 Simeon took Him in his arms and praised God, saying:

29“Sovereign Lord, as You have promised,
You now dismiss Your servant in peace.
30For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
31which You have prepared in the sight of all people,
32a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and for glory to Your people Israel.”

Jesus healed privately for kindness. Jesus healed the deaf man with privacy.

We know who supported Jesus on Good Friday.
Simon a Cyrenian
Near the cross of Jesus
Mary stood,
His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas,
and Mary Magdalene.
John the Beloved Disciple.
Joseph of Arimathea
Nicodemus

And they stood for Jesus Christ because as the only Son of God they knew His faithfulness. God gave the Law through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

God's Word Promises He knows the number of hairs on our head. Zacchaeus the Tax Collector climbed a tree to be recognized by Jesus Christ from the crowd. God waits for us as the Prodigal Father to recognize Him in our lives.

Jesus came for more than the blind, the deaf, the lame and the poor - Jesus came to heal and save us all. Jesus is for you.

Isaiah 55

1 "Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. 3 Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. 4 Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples. 5 Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you,
 because of the LORD your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, 
for he has glorified you.

Abba,

You have Blessed us. We have been carried all our lives by Your Love, Mercy, Comfort and Teaching.

We will remember just one of Your Mercies and have Thanksgiving.

Blessed be the Name of God, Our Father. Blessed be the Highest Name of Jesus. Who gives us the Holy Spirit who understands the Power, Glory - God's Love to know merely by asking the Holy Spirit of Jesus to dwell in us - He Will. And Jesus is our Hope and Future.

Merely by asking in the Name of Jesus. Because of His Word. The Promise of God.

All who seek God find Him.

When we call upon the Name of Jesus, we are saved.

We call on the Name of Jesus for ourselves, for our Loved ones. Just as the people lowered the man through the roof - we Know we will have Your Love and Mercy.

Jesus Christ cover us for this Nation. For all the Nations trusting in Jesus. For all the Beloved of God, pleasing Him for asking more Heaven upon earth.

Covered in Jesus Christ. Blessed Immeasurably.

Amen in Jesus.

Psalm 40 ~ trust in the Lord †

David lived in Ziklag - so awful - it couldn't be a cave - it's more of a natural ditch. This is where his family was kidnapped. While David was out earning a living as a mercenary.

Psalm 40

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined to me and heard my cry.

2 He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.

3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God.

Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD.

4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!

5 You have multiplied, O LORD my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you!

I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.

6 In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted,
but you have given me an open ear.
Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.

7 Then I said, "Behold, I have come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me: 8 I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart." 9 I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O LORD. 10 I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation.

11 As for you, O LORD, you will not restrain your mercy from me;
your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me!

12 For evils have encompassed me beyond number; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see;
they are more than the hairs of my head; my heart fails me.

13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me!
O LORD, make haste to help me!

14 Let those be put to shame and disappointed altogether who seek to snatch away my life;
let those be turned back and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt!
15 Let those be appalled because of their shame who say to me, "Aha, Aha!"

16 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation say continually, "Great is the LORD!"

17 As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay,

O my God!


Obviously, David has shot way past being anointed of God. Certainly a hopeless case. The criminals and malcontents were the only people who traveled with David.

Let's look at some of the disastrous - not pleasing to God - losing moments:

Losing his friendship with the Prince of Israel. Jonathon.

Eating the shewbread and all the priests who helped - were murdered.

Living in a cave. With more criminals. Having to figure out how to hide his family.

Loosing his first wife. Marrying a widow he and his friends really needed to be fed by her. Participating in a kidnap rescue.

Seeing Saul's last son crowned after Saul died with his friend Jonathon. 22 years as a criminal. Seeing Saul's Concubines sons crowned. Realizing his anointing was not working out.

Psalm 33:11
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

Jesus said this of hopelessness.

Luke 11:8
I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship,
yet because of the man's persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

David might disagree with Jesus - they could debate - the man with 10 talents believed the Master was Good.

1 Timothy 4
10 That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God,
who is the Savior of all people,
and especially of those who believe.

Father God,

Because of Your Blessing - we live, move and have our being.

Before we were born - You knew our days and called our name. Psalm 139 and Ephesians 3. You have said Your thoughts about one of Your beloved Children - is more than the grains of sand. Your Plan of Salvation is God of Encouragement and Love. Your Word upholds the Universe. A day to You is thousands of years.

You have said when 2 or 3 gather in Your Name - You are there. And at times David - like Jesus prayed alone. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one. And when we Love Your Will, You abide in us. Father - You do more than we could ask or even imagine.

When we pray with the Beloved around the earth asking for more Heaven on earth, we have reached for the Heart and Love Jesus told us of in our Father. We cover all our cares with the Name of Jesus. This covers our work, our family, our health, the people we pray for and have been asked to pray for.

We pray for the Nation and include all the ways a Nation would work and prosper and strive. We pray for God's Heaven on earth in our Nation and for the Nations trusting in God.

When we pray for the people we Love we cover all of the people we love and pray for. All of their cherished hopes and cares. We cover the past, today and tomorrow as we speak the Words Jesus taught us about Heaven on earth.

We place all of our hopes, loves and care in Your Loving and Willing Heart - we thank You for Your Love.

In Jesus Christ. Amen.

Psalm 46 ~ The Holy Habitation of the Most High

Psalm 46

1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,

though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,

3 though its waters roar and foam,

though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, 

the holy habitation of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.

6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts.

7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, how he has brought desolations on the earth.

9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire.

10 "Be still, and know that I am God.

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth!"

11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. 

Selah

Jesus spoke of Psalm 46.

Jesus is always with us.

Matthew 28:20 
Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And behold,
I am with you always, to the end of the age.

Jesus knew what to do with fear.

Matthew 9:6-8
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—“Rise, pick up your bed and go home.” And he rose and went home. When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

A River making God glad.

John 4:14
Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. 

The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

God will help as morning dawns. Jesus even considered and spoke with and taught - women. Even the least.

Matthew 20:1
For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner 
who went out early in the morning
to hire workers for his vineyard.

The expectation of God's blessing and provision in many, many matters.

Kingdoms totter, rage, melts - God is with us. God our Fortress.

Matthew 11

2 When John, who was in prison, 
heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples 3 to ask him, 
“Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”

4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
5 The blind receive sight,
the lame walk,
those who have leprosy are cleansed,
the deaf hear,
the dead are raised,
and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.

6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”

7 As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces. 9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written: “ ‘I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.’

11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist, yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

God sees a far greater Plan.




Desolations

Luke 19:43

43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.

9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire.

10 "Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!"

11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

Abba,

For You, our Father Loves the world
to want to save
all the world
for all the world
to have
Jesus Christ
in them
and of them
and for them
and by them
- - - for you.

And in the beginning the Holy Spirit was abiding over the waters of all of earth.
And You, our Father,
made plans to be closer.

When we remember to ask You to Bless us and Keep us,
You are the beginning of the prayer
and Your Name - Jesus - covers all and every aspect of us
Blesses us as the Prayer closes.

And in the middle of all our prayers we pray for our own cares
and the ones we Love
for Jesus to fill them with His Love.
And we Rise as Jesus said to pray for our Nation and all Nations Trustin in Jesus.
Rising further and further to realize the Joy of our Father
knowing all of His Beloved
delight to ask for more Heaven on earth.

And as we ask for God's Blessing and Mercy,
we know we have given Him our mind, heart and soul.

And Father God is pleased.
We delight in God's Love.

Amen and Amen in Jesus Christ. Amen.
