11QShirShabb Dead Sea Scroll, Cave 11
What song have you been singing in your cave? Your mind cave. Far more often found than a man cave.
These are the Essenes finding a Prophetic moment presenting13 Songs Sung to Father God and Jesus in their Heavenly Kingdom.
The Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice, also referred to as the Angelic Liturgy, are a series of thirteen songs, one for each of the first thirteen Sabbaths of the year, contained in fragments found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Songs were found in 10 fragmentary copies: nine at Qumran (4Q400–407;
Cave 4, ie 4Q400-407
Cave 4
Although nine copies were found at Qumran, the scroll is not generally believed to be a sectarian document. The common sectarian language normally found in the scrolls (such as references to laws applying to the Yahad) is not present in the songs. In fact a copy of the songs found at Masada suggest to be a widely circulated text and may imply the scrolls were used by other communities; which negates the likelihood of this text being composed at Qumran. The songs also use Elohim to refer to God, and the use of that word is extremely rare throughout the other scrolls thought to be sectarian in origin.
The Songs describe worship around the throne of God in the heavenly realms.
Proverbs 4:20-27
20 My son, be attentive to my words;
incline your ear to my sayings.
21 Let them not escape from your sight;
keep them within your heart.
22 For they are life to those who find them,
and healing to all their flesh.
23 Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for from it flow the springs of life.
24 Put away from you crooked speech,
and put devious talk far from you.
25 Let your eyes look directly forward,
and your gaze be straight before you.
26 Ponder the path of your feet;
then all your ways will be sure.
27 Do not swerve to the right or to the left;
Mind songs. When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad, simply remember my favorite things, And then I don't feel so bad.
I wondered today when I'd see the Mercies of God renew - today. About 4:30 the road was sunny and strangely empty. Life felt as if it was a pandemic. And the Italy of my childhood was in terrible trouble having the Northern Italians board trains to flee to Southern Italy about February 27, 2020. The news was announcing the flight from Large Cities in the USA. And I felt very forlorn.
And as I spoke to our oldest son in Michigan, I remember the calm of being younger during Sars 2003. I heard the strength in his voice and we spoke of weeks from now. And I realized the Mercies of God renew each day. Usually in the morning.
God Promises. God does not lie.
We need to find our favorite Promises of God and Hold Tightly.

will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

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.
