Matthew 8:23-27 ~ even the winds and sea obey Jesus Christ

Making the Most of Give us the Day, every day in the year 2020

Psalm 83
13 Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind. 14 As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze, 15 so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.

Colossians 3:17

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,

giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Matthew 8:23-27

23 And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. 24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. 

25 And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” 

26 And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” 

Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. 

27 And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, 

that even winds and sea obey him."

What would we say about the Silent Majority?

In Houston, the Silent Majority fed Hurricane Katrina evacuees for a year. Who was this?

The Church.

Even in the suburbs,
Churches fed the evacuees for a year, not just at the Large Stadiums, but in the Hotels too.
Here in our suburb, we fed two hotels for an entire year.
As the extended family left, to return to New Orleans and new building jobs,
the former evacuees fed our Church a BBQ Dinner as heart felt, "Thank You."

Like Hurricane Harvey, when this area needed relief - who voted for the RELIEF?

This is the President who got us our RELIEF.

The Headlines read, 

"Trump sides with Democrats to get Hurricane Harvey people the relief they needed."

Houston hasn't forgotten.

Thank You, President Trump!

Living in the Houston area for 20 years,  we've seen this area given many opportunities practicing Recovery. And yet, we all have told ourselves all year, "I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine." Only to discover we are all facing what is repeated over and over, "This has been a WEIRD year." We all have Stress. God Bless us all to deal gently with each other and to be kind to ourselves. 1 Corinthians 13.

Ezra 10:4 

Arise, for it is your task, and we are with you; be strong and do it.

1 John 3:18 

Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

James 2:17 

So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

James 1:22 

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Abba,

This Nation has a long history of peaceful protests.
And overcoming Violence.

In times of need
Neighbors feed Katrina, and Hurricane Harvey and
Help in Times of Need.

The United States has much to be grateful for
in
Her People

John 17 ~ glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed

John 17

When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, 
“Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

“I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 

I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 

While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me.  I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 

I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 

As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 

The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 

Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 

O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

Psalm 139

Where shall I go from your Spirit?

Or where shall I flee from your presence?

If I ascend to heaven, you are there!

If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!

If I take the wings of the morning

and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

even there your hand shall lead me,

and your right hand shall hold me.

If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,

and the light about me be night,”

even the darkness is not dark to you;

the night is bright as the day,

for darkness is as light with you.

For you formed my inward parts;

you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Wonderful are your works;

my soul knows it very well.

My frame was not hidden from you,

when I was being made in secret,

intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

Your eyes saw my unformed substance;

in your book were written, every one of them,

the days that were formed for me,

when as yet there was none of them.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!

How vast is the sum of them!

If I would count them, they are more than the sand.

I awake, and I am still with you.

This is about as close as I've come to visually explaining a dream I had of Heaven with my Aunt Clarice.

Abba, God of Heaven, our Heavenly Father with us,

Psalm 112: 1, 7-8

Praise God.

Happy are those who fear the Lord. They are not afraid of evil tidings; their hearts are firm, Secure in the Lord.

Their hearts are steady, they will not be afraid.

Happiness is not the Joy Jesus speaks of Life. Happiness is Secure. We thank God for His Plan.

This is not the emotion of Joy. It is the Determination of Eternal God.

When our heart is heavy, and we know fully God will bring this in. This is in His Hand.

In His Capability.

The Universe is upheld by His Word. We Know.

The Work of mankind is to Believe in Jesus He has sent.

This has been a very tough year.

Jonah 2:9

But I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You.

I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation is from the LORD

In Jesus Christ,

The Ark of the Covenant is Within

Father God, Dwell within us and

those we Love.

Jesus help, Covered in God's Love,

President Donald Trump and his family

upon his brother Robert Trump passing to Heaven,

Vice President Mike Pence

Proverbs 8:28-32 ~ Rejoicing in His inhabited world and delighting in the children of man

Philippians 2:19-30

19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. 20 For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21 For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

22 But you know Timothy's proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.

23 I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me, 24 and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also.

25 I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need, 26 for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

28 I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious. 29 So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men, 30 for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep.

And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good.

And God separated the light from the darkness.

Proverbs 8

28 when he made firm the skies above,
when he established the fountains of the deep,
29 when he assigned to the sea its limit,
so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,

30 then I was beside him, like a master workman,
and I was daily his delight,
rejoicing before him always,

31 rejoicing in his inhabited world
and delighting in the children of man.

32“And now, O sons, listen to me:
blessed are those who keep my ways."

Genesis 18

32 Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?”

He answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.” 

33 When the Lord had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.

Then Abraham spoke up again: “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, 28 what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five people?”

The Lord is close to those with a broken heart and hears their cry.

Making amends

Genesis 42:37
Then Reuben said to his father, "You may kill my two sons if I don't bring Benjamin back to you. I'll be responsible for him, and I promise to bring him back."

The Tender Heart of God is shown in the full remorse of David

2 Samuel 12

5 David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan, “As surely as the Lord lives, the man who did this must die! 6 He must pay for that lamb four times over, because he did such a thing and had no pity.”

7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8 I gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you all Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more. 9 Why did you despise the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his eyes?

13 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.”

Nathan replied, “The Lord has taken away your sin. You are not going to die.


Luke 3
23 Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli, 24 the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph, 25 the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, 26 the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda, 27 the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel,] the son of Neri, 28 the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er, 29 the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, 30 the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim, 31 the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, 

the son of Nathan, the son of David, 32 the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Sala, the son of Nahshon,

John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 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.

This looks like the Resurrected Jesus returns home to His Family

Matthew 9:36

Jesus saw the crowds,
He had compassion on them,
because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

John 5:17
Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working."

"Our Father in Heaven,

hallowed be Your Name, Jesus.

Father, we ask Jesus in His Righteousness to pray with us.

The Prayers of a Righteous Man availeth much.

Your Kingdom come,

Your Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this Day

our daily bread,

Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

As John saw in Revelation 6

Thine is the Kingdom,

Thine is the Power,

Thine is the Glory.

Forever and ever. In Jesus, we ask, Amen.

Jesus help us in this Nation to be in Your Word Joyfully

Covered in God's Love,

President Donald Trump
