Psalm 86:17 ~ Save the son of your handmaiden

Psalm 86:17

O God, insolent men have risen up against me;

    a band of ruthless men seeks my life,

    and they do not set you before them.

15 But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,

    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

16 Turn to me and be gracious to me;

    give your strength to your servant,

    and save the son of your maidservant. David's Mother.

17 Show me a sign of your favor,

    that those who hate me may see and be put to shame

    because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

David, being put in the eternity of Living Word, is always going to appear in different angles. A Puzzle worthy of Study. David is God's exemplary human being. Career minded, absent father and at the end of his life, separate from his wives who are polite to ask for their children. David teaches us in his victories and his defeats. 

Psalms 27:1

Of David. 

The LORD is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? 

The LORD is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid? 

In these years of rebuilding from two really odd pre-Pandemic, Pandemic and almost Post-Pandemic years, why not look at David in his Victories?

David mentions, 34 times, his father Jesse in the Old Testament. When we meet David with Samuel the first time, Jesse wasn't even going to bring David forth to be blessed or anointed of the Lord. And the Old Testament records David hid his parents away when the young man - David - became most wanted of King Saul. 

In Psalm 86, David is seeking God's Favor and Protection. God's Blessings. And David wants to point to someone righteous. Not Bar Jesse. His mother. The society didn't usually thank Mom. David has. And points to his love for his mom and her tender care for him.

(Solomon would record caring for Bathsheba, probably as an example of David. The Pillar of the Temple would be named Boaz for David's grandfather, married to Ruth.)

David remembered his donkey too. Rarely is a donkey honored as the man becomes king.

David, Righteous of God David, has to admit his mistake leaving the Ark with the household of Obed-Edom the Gittite. Edom descends from Esau.

God uses even the Ark in the household of Obed-Edom the Gittite, so make us understand how all encompassing God's Plan includes all people and nations.  1 Chronicles 13.

Psalm 24:1 

Of David

The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world

and all who live in it.

Tissot painted Jacob and Esau meeting as adults

The Nation of Edom is mentioned by the Egyptian pharaoh Seti I from c. 1215 BC as well as in the chronicle of a campaign by Ramesses III (r. 1186–1155 BC).  The Edomites, archaeologically identified, were a Semitic - Jewish- people who arrived in the region c.14th century BC. Archaeological investigation showed the country flourished between 13th to 8th century BC. Destroyed by the 6th century BC by the Babylonians. When Judean tribes were destroyed from history as well. When we observe the tribes of Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher, then realize some are unknown to us - this is due to Nebuchadnezzar II and the Babylonians destroying tribes forever in Judea. The Tribes of Israel fared far better.

The reign of David and Solomon also covered the descendants of Esau in safety and stability.  Edom isn't exactly under David's wing. But Edom is under the Wing of God and His Love and Protection.

Isaac and Rebecca would be pleased, Even Rebecca. 

David has a clue about his family and how long-lived being in the Word of God will carry their relationships. David speaks boldly of his family and longs for them to have God to help them. Like Jacob wanting the Blessings of God to be shared.

Joshua 24:15 ~ serve the Lord

 

Joshua 24:15

"If serving the LORD seems undesirable to you,

then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve,

whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.

But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."

On the days we feel joy and frustration. 

We always pray.

Abba, Father,

We ask You to dwell in us.

Renew us in Your Love and Mercy.

Be with those we Love.

Let all Love Increase.

And in this Glory of Heaven on earth.

We are renewed in our hearts, soul and mind

to live as Jesus did, with Joy.

Blessing for Elliott and all his family for this time.

The Blessing of Jesus Living Eternally in Our Lives, Heart

and Soul. Alleluia.

Amen.

Psalm 95 ~ Praise

Psalm 95

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;

    let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!

2 Let us come into His presence 

with thanksgiving;

    let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise!

3 For the Lord is a great God,

    and a great King above all gods.

Caesarea the city built by Herod to brown nose his employers and to make a home away from home for Romans. The most worldly part of Judea.

Notice, the Boot of Caesarea looks like ... Italy.

4 In His hand are the depths of the earth;

    the heights of the mountains are His also.

5 The sea is His, for He made it,

    and His hands formed the dry land.

c. 1966 the remains of Peter's house in Capernaum, Israel. Similar graffiti as Paul's tomb.


You are Peter and upon this rock, I will build my Church


This Is the Rock that kept Peter's Bones Intact and are what the Altar is Built on Top of:
80 feet below the Altar 

The Depths of the earth

The actual  'rock' slab ceiling that kept these particular bones - intact.

The slab 'rock' that kept out moisture, thieves. Slab (a rock) helping to preserve Peter's body when the others around him were already dust.

The red wall with graffiti saying this is Peter, follower of Jesus Christ. Identical art found to Peter's home in Capernaum.

6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;

    let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!

7 For He is our God,

    and we are the people of His pasture,

    and the sheep of His Hand.

Today, if you hear His voice,

 do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,

    as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,

9 when your fathers put me to the test

    and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.

A cloud by day!

EXODUS 13:21 ... by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night.
IPUWER PAPYRUS 7:1 Behold, the fire has mounted up on high. Its burning goes forth against the enemies of the land.

The IPUWER PAPYRUS 7:1 (translator added this remark: "Here the 'fire' is regarded as something disastrous.")

IPUWER PAPYRUS 7:1

After the first manifestations of the protracted cataclysm, the Egyptians tried to bring order into the land. They traced the route of the escaped slaves. The wanderers became "entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in" (Exodus 14:3). They turned to the sea, they stood at Pi-ha-Khiroth. "The Egyptians pursued after them. The Egyptians marched after them." 

A hurricane blew all the night and the sea fled.

In a great avalanche of water, "the sea returned to his strength", and "the Egyptians fled against it". The sea engulfed the chariots and the horsemen, the pharaoh and all his host.

10 For forty years I loathed that generation

    and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,

    and they have not known my ways.”

11 Therefore I swore in my wrath,

    “They shall not enter my rest.”

The Acts of the Apostles directs prayer upon those in need of prayer. 

Not just a 'you' prayer, but a 'we need Jesus prayer':

John 21

Abba, Father God

Colossians 3:12

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved,

 clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, 

gentleness and patience.

Colossians 1:6

That has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing 

throughout the whole world –

 just as it has been doing among you 

since the day you heard it and truly understood God's grace. 

1 John 3:1

See what kind of love the Father has given to us,

 that we should be called children of God; 

and so we are.

May God have our prayers Joyfully

Please Bless our Nation

and the earth, God's Good Creation.

Help us seek You first.

Thank You,

You have seen us through many times and seasons

with Your Help and Comfort.

All who have had illness and suffered

to be in wellness and Hope.

Elliott as well.

Cover us in the Highest Name of Jesus, 

Amen.
