Psalm 34 ~ you His saints

 

Psalm 34

I will bless the Lord at all times;

    his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;

    let the humble hear and be glad.

3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,

    and let us exalt His Name together!

4 I sought the Lord, and He answered me

    and delivered me from all my fears.

5 Those who look to Him are radiant,

    and their faces shall never be ashamed.

6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him

    and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the Lord encamps

    around those who fear him, and delivers them.

8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!

    Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!

9 Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints,

    for those who fear him have no lack!

10 The young lions suffer want and hunger;

    but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

11 Come, O children, listen to me;

    I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12 What man is there who desires life

    and loves many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep your tongue from evil

    and your lips from speaking deceit.

14 Turn away from evil and do good;

    seek peace and pursue it.

15 The Eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous

    and His ears toward their cry.

16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,

    to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears

    and delivers them out of all their troubles.

18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted

    and saves the crushed in spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,

    but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

20 He keeps all his bones;

    not one of them is broken.

21 Affliction will slay the wicked,

    and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.

22 The Lord redeems the life of his servants;

    none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.

Today, the comment that stuck out to me on reading Facebook was: 

"You see, there are still good people out there. Doing what they can. Making the world better."

Jesus said in Lamentations His Mercies Renew Daily. When we look for this:

Matthew 13:44 

The Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. 

When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy 

went and sold all he had and bought that field.

Abba, Father God,

All creatures of our God and King

Lift up your voice and with us sing,

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Thou burning sun with golden beam,

Thou silver moon with softer gleam!

O praise Him! O praise Him!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Thou rushing wind that art so strong

Ye clouds that sail in Heaven along,

O praise Him! Alleluia!

Thou rising moon, in praise rejoice,

Ye lights of evening, find a voice!

Thou burning sun with golden beam,

Thou silver moon with softer gleam!

O praise Him! O praise Him!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Thou rushing wind that art so strong

Ye clouds that sail in Heaven along,

O praise Him! Alleluia!

Thou rising moon, in praise rejoice,

Ye lights of evening, find a voice!

Thou flowing water, pure and clear,

Make music for thy Lord to hear,

O praise Him! Alleluia!

Thou fire so masterful and bright,

That givest man both warmth and light.

Dear mother earth, who day by day

Unfoldest blessings on our way,

O praise Him! Alleluia!

1 Thessalonians 5:23

May God himself, the God of peace, 

sanctify you through and through. 

May your whole spirit, soul and body 

be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

1 Thessalonians 5:21a

 hold on to what is good 

Deuteronomy 30:19

Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. 

Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. 

Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your children might live!

1 Thessalonians 1:4

For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that He has chosen you 

1 Thessalonians 2:13

And we also thank God continually because, when you received the Word of God, 

which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, 

but as it actually is, the word of God, 

which is indeed at work in you who believe.

Philippians 3:12

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal,

but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 

2 Corinthians 1:4 

who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble 

with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

May the Grace of Jesus

give us Joy in our Strength

and Dwell in us to see Blessings Daily.

May Father God help this Nation and world

with Hope. Love and Joy.

We ask for this, for Justice with Mercy.

Elliott's Healing

and all suffering with Covid's aspects to Have His Comfort.

Amen in Jesus Christ.

Matthew 9:35-10:1 ~ His Harvest Field

How Beautiful the Feet

Matthew 9:35-10:1

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

10 And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction


We all are in the same direction - we are ascending to Jesus Christ the Lord!

Father God says we all have good works created for our gifts and talents.
Collectively we have virtues - we love our children and we want to be effective!
Let's think on being Very Effective for Jesus Christ and having His blessings equip our lives in Amazing Wonders of His Love.

Our Hero Jesus calls us "Friend", we know we want to help Our Shepherd! 

And invite every blessing of His in every aspect of our lives.

Jesus Himself joins us in prayer and prays with us: 

Abba Father God,

Hebrews 13:21

May he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him. All glory to him forever and ever! 

Amen.

The 12 Gates of Heaven are Open - God has those Gates open for us.

 Jesus said, The Kingdom of Heaven Is At Hand.  When we are cultivating Fruit we are  "Joy, Peace, Love, Goodness."

How will we prosper in Father God?

If we are bringing forth the Son of God, we should lead by our walk in Life.

Are we encouragers? Jesus convinces us. Paul writes again and again and again and again and again of how much he loves his flock.

Ripe for prayer? 

The Early Church swept in. SWEPT IN LIKE A WIND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 

Prayer was Needed!

This is how we tell the Kingdom of God is at hand:

James 5:16
The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

Isaiah 35:5
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear.


Jesus is Proclaiming - Loudly - Pray It Like You Mean It!!!

And when we get together and pray - we are so privileged and grateful
to participate in a room where God has placed us - The Kingdom of Heaven - the always open and His Throne - is - at hand. When two or more pray, He is there. 

A GRATEFUL SPIRIT TOWARDS GOD AND HIS ACTIVE PLAN IN OUR LIVES.
GOD IS A SOVEREIGN AND LIVING, GOOD GOD.

How will we look at God's Word and Effectively Apply what we read to our specific lives, our specific path and draw all we need for the Fruit of God to bloom and grow and create Joy, Peace, Love, Patience, Goodness?

How will take Christian radio and apply this? How will we listen to the Sermons, the small groups and draw the Goodness of God into all of our lives?

We must do something Jesus told us about.
Find your areas of comfort, comfort, comfort. The Holy Spirit IS A COMFORTER.

And in this Comfort, you will feel comfort and joy to share God's Love. Your cup runneth over. 

Satan will accuse us of our failures and leave us there. Jesus is Father God running to you - as you get on His Path. Jesus is the Encourager. Jesus is the Strengthener. Jesus is the Builder. Jesus is the Goodness of God made manifest. Jesus is even indignant when we ask Him, "Are you willing?" Jesus replies, Kindly, Strongly, Affirmatively in indignation, "I AM WILLING."






Father God willingly has so much HE Desires and Delights to show us, but we must be willing to look into his Word with open eyes. 

Ask the right questions for your life and your circumstance. God has not lost your address - He knows all your numbers. Stay in the facts of God's Word given. This is the PATH and the Nature of God Himself.

Once you have full understanding to the Height, width, broadness of God's Love - The deeper you dig, the more gold you’ll find. The Truth Will Set You Free in God's Meaningful Word.

Write down your important observations. This is your heart to Father God and His answers.

ALWAYS ASK GOD FOR HELP FROM THE PEOPLE HE HAS GIVEN YOU.


Talk It Over - where you share life. With Godly, Godly, Godly people.

PRAY!

Eat together, bless the time and the people given. Give thanks! Nurture one another.

Deal gently, generously, kindly together.


Ask the simple questions, always ask the simple questions. Start there.
Now ask why this interests you.
What do you feel? Ask Father God to help you. Feelings are ALL OVER THE BIBLE. This is the Go To In Honesty Place. God sometimes simply says, "Forsake wrath." And we find trusting in Him, Peace.

Jesus is the Immediate Messiah. He gives Immediately. And then Jesus says, "Days may come." When we wait on God.  Then The Bible is COMPLICATED and Messy and Helps.

How would you explain your answer to a non-Christian friend or neighbor?
WE DELIGHT TOGETHER IN THE NAME OF JESUS. What inspires them to feel God. And then again maybe listening is the answer.

Do you really agree? Why? If we Confront Our Disbelief - We Grow.

Encourage each other in Father God.

How will we effectively see our prayers answered?

1. Gratitude for Father God's goodness.

2. Gratitude God covers us with His Goodness.

3. His Kingdom is truly at hand, you have Your Father's attention. This Scriptural Power says you have His blessings to bring more Heaven to earth - to your life.

4. Believing all good and needed gifts are from Father God and He will continue to provide.

5. Being completely honest with God in our areas - we are not good in. Sin. Flaws.

6. And in dealing with others, agree that sometimes after forgiveness not to live rent free in our lives, thoughts and troubles - give cheek to forgive, understand, move forward with a laugh with compassion and/or walk away. Remind yourself - this is a child of Father God's.(Compassion for Father God!)

7. Temptation - circumstance, and in today's world - taking the Word of God to bring you Up, not to comfort you in being stagnant.

8. Protection and in Wisdom - Going where Jesus would go - in safety.

9. The purpose of Study of God's Word and Prayer - is His Glory and His Kingdom - where we dwell in Joy! Because our Father delights. He Delights. In Giving us - His Kingdom.

10. Saying the name of this Love - with Joy - Jesus the Lord.
Jesus The Lord.
Jesus The Lord !!!

Abba, Father God,

We delight to ask You Always and in Eternity Dwell in us.

Let the Wind and Fire and Noise of Life be from You.

Keep us alive to see what is around us.

We pray for the ones we love AND the people You have given us - Jesus Love and Comfort.

 For this Nation and the World. 

Help us when we have God Opportunities - to please You. Yes. Help, Please. We ask You to guide, bless and protect us in creating God Opportunities.

Help us, as I hear a Pandemic Siren, Help us not to tire of being wise

and guarding our own health. Not to be weary and give up.

We lift up the ongoing weeks of Congress and States Legislatures. Real Compassion for the People and Healing  We ask Father God to send His Blessings on Winter Weather and Covid.  We ask healing of the extreme toxicity. Bless Your people depending on You. 

Your Willing Mercy.

For my mother entering Hospice, preparing for her ease of Passing.

Blessings of her calmness and God's Peace in her. I've seen this.

The Comfort of my father's many, like Pharaoh, Dreams of his early in life passing on

and returning to her decades later, his much detailed dream, to bless my mother with Heaven.

For His Timing.

Healing

On Elliott for Healing. Total Healing. And his family. For Reagan to heal and set her Volleyball Record at LSU, her diligent work.

Our hope does not disappoint us because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through Your Holy Spirit - given to us. 

Amen and Amen in Jesus!

Matthew 5:7, 43-48 ~ Perfect, as Your Heavenly Father is perfect †

 

We wonder where Father God's Mercy is when we suffer. Winter always arrives. Most of us consider Winter to be more difficult to live.  God expects we work to survive and thrive in Winter. And sometimes we have loved and enjoyed Winter. And some years find Winter was milder than we expected.

Matthew 5:7, 43-48

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 

44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. 

For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 

46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Matthew 5's Portion isn't a walk in the park, isn't a sunny day, isn't for grins. 

People when given the "jump 15 feet straight up in the air idea",  worry. And begin to want to stay away from "Religious Things." The Gospels have to give all the Good News. But the effort to ask, seek and find come from us all. People think and fear they have failed to live to God's High Standards. Then  wonder if God is in this and is He really going to help in times of Suffering or Guilt.  Because we want our Living Jesus to apply His Love to our lives. Make us want to grow to Jesus. And inspire us to know Helping Him is going to work instead of another effort of, "Gee I just can't." Jesus helps ~~~ worry. 

And we might want to consider DL Moody's quote:

I'm not sure I remember being perfect for a day. A couple of hours. Maybe not.

Jesus tells us only God is Good. This is comfort to these Verses.

The Scriptures arrange the verses. 
Carefully. With a skill of God Himself. God doesn't want us to feel impossibly burdened forever. Not glum in the Bible. Remember the Rich Ruler who went away feeling lost because he couldn't dot every iota of God's Word and Hope. Jesus said he would be saved, God does the Impossible. 

Church parking lots are sometimes seen as angry places after a Sermon. To feel impossibly challenged isn't the aim of God. Jesus left His Children many times with the phrase, "He healed them all."

God wants Salvation in Jesus for the entire world. 

The Exodus proves this. God tells us He plans for our Hope and Future. This forgiveness is mentioned with rain and sun. Sunrise, sunset. Wisely. Time as in the Prodigal Son. With the assurance, we can forsake anger. Faith. Believing forgiveness will arrive in totality. Giving a little bit of a start to forgiveness with Faith. Being dedicated to forgiveness for our health, happiness and the Way, Truth and Life.

Dedication in winter. To believe and plan and forgive again and again until the roots sink in well.

And if we smile and ask Father God, like a friend we nag to loan us bread at midnight, what would we "pray for" in this? 

David would say... Mercy. David asks God to be Merciful 24 times, not even looking at variations on words similar to Mercy. The anointed of God asks for God's Mercy upon himself, Israel and for Peace.

Roman Emperors saw enough of these Verses of Matthew 5, to sense a difference, a change. 
Claudius didn't enjoy mystery in his reign. He wanted no mysterious kindness. What if you couldn't command cruelty in war or justice or even the Coliseum games?  Claudius does not go with the Victory when we consider History. The Merciful arrive Victorious. This is what stays with us, wherever we go.

The Victory in Jesus Christ.

Boundaries of Love. Our hearts will love and unlove. And Love again. Love grows with forgiveness. The world isn't static in sunny days.  Believing there is Hope. Forgiveness sometimes causes such relief, possibilities exist again. 

Opens up Paths we didn't know would be there. New boundaries in sunny days, and winter days.

Love is patient and kind. Love is work. 

Love is not without a need for response. It's not to be taken lightly.  Practice makes perfect.

Living Water for all season, soaking in and raising us Up.

We talk about Evangelism. This is part of these Verses. 

Love takes it's time to be diligent, in all seasons, Love will remain and be warm. Love allows God given boundaries of trust and respect for the individual, not demanding our own way. Won't go to sleep once the hand is to the plow. And will do the work.  

My Grandmother prayed for her son for sixty years. The Studies I've read on Evangelism, say this can take years. This can be immediate and miraculous. Those sixty years of prayers were found fruitful.

Be in the place to say, "I'm going to pray for you, if that is alright." 

Love,  the seeds we plant. God waters. God gives the sunshine. God gives the growth. And Jesus is immediate. We expect God to do the Salvation.

Mostly we put down the seeds.

Abba, Father God,

Today was another Day.

My mother had been ill with Alzheimer's for many, many, many years.

It's been very unpleasant. And isolating from rude behavior.

In October, my mother was admitted into Medical City in Dallas. Mother had a good attending Physician for her entire stay, who said her immune system was failing her. 

Because of this, she would have a much more pleasant passing, 

and more immediate passing than Alzheimer's allows.

Today, her doctor has called for Hospice.

The years will fall behind and the good memories will float up.

And we will remember the good childhood years. 

The Mother who ran a home based on Jesus and goodness.

The Sunlight will visit from on High and the perfect days of 

the past will live again, Our Father God is Perfect.

His Kingdom is Perfect.

God is Good.

As I looked for photos for prayer and praying in an office  (because a friend of ours who has done so well in insurance says his office phone rings; he is speaking with the scared, and the injured and those in need). He hears their need and listens. And he says they depend upon him almost like a Pastor. After the events are discussed, he says quietly, "Can I pray for you?" And few turn him down, and he says a sincere prayer, touching soul and heart. 

And many have told him their faith suddenly has heart and life again.

This is the Book of Acts of the Apostles. Alive.

And as I looked for photos of prayer in the office, 

the only photos to arrive are of President Trump in the Oval Office.

 I offer prayer for him. And hope you will join me in the goodness of your heart.

When we pray, we reach Father God and He is perfect.

Father, we ask in the Name of Jesus

for Your Word of Love and Healing to 

Heal us all. This is a Pandemic and we are still getting the Daily Damage Reports.

Jesus is needed.

Dwell in us.

Help us to see Heaven

and be Heaven.

The Lord Jesus for us all.

Now and in the hour of our passing on.

Each day.

Amen in Jesus. Amen.
