Matthew 3:13-17 ~ Beloved Son

 




Matthew 3:13-17


13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 

14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 

15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” 

Then he consented. 

16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on Him

17 And behold, a voice from heaven said, 
“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”









Jesus acts Deliberately. In God's Plan.

God the Father spoke, Let there be Light. Jesus is the Light of the world. Light of the nations. Light of mankind. Light of Heaven. The Holy Spirit moved above the waters in creation. And in the First Easter, The Holy Spirit will not leave or forsake us.

The news tells us we have trouble. Families have seen trouble. Employment has met new challenges.  Churches have new outreaches being implemented. Neighbors interact more since houses aren't for sale.

What will we do with our concerns? We will integrate our thoughts with being cheerful to the Lord. We will pray more and believe Good is coming.  We will say this to ourselves:






Psalm 113

  Praise the Lord!
Praise, O servants of the Lord,
    praise the name of the Lord!

2 Blessed be the name of the Lord
    from this time forth and forevermore!
3 From the rising of the sun to its setting,
    the name of the Lord is to be praised!

4 The Lord is high above all nations,
    and his glory above the heavens!
5 Who is like the Lord our God,
    who is seated on high,
6 who looks far down
    on the heavens and the earth?
7 He raises the poor from the dust
    and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
8 to make them sit with princes,
    with the princes of his people.
9 He gives the barren woman a home,
    making her the joyous mother of children.

Praise the Lord!



Psalm 68:19
 
 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, 
even the God of our salvation. Selah.


Psalm 113:3 
From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, 
the name of the LORD is to be praised.


We are going to put faith in the Lord. God is answering prayers and hearing before we ask.  

Psalm 136:1 

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, 
for His steadfast Love endures forever.



JESUS THE LORD.  Gratitude puts us in His ability to Hear the Lord. We must search for a Spiritually alive moment in our lives, when our prayer was answered so personally.  Nothing but His Hand.



Again:

Psalm 118:24

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.


1 Corinthians 15:57

Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory 
through our Lord Jesus Christ.


Psalm 107:1-2
 
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, 
for His steadfast love endures forever! 

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, 
whom he has redeemed from trouble


Numbers 6:24-26

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His Face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His Countenance 
upon you and give you peace.

Psalm 9:1 

I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; 
I will recount all of Your wonderful deeds.

1 Corinthians 1:4 

I give thanks to my God always for you 
because of the grace of God 
that was given you 
in Christ Jesus

Psalm 69:30
I will praise the name of God with a song; 
I will magnify Him with thanksgiving.





Abba, Father

Blessed be the Name of Jesus.

John 3:16 ~ God has Given




We have White Wing Doves in our neighborhood that surround our pond and begin the morning calling, "Jesus is Lord." "Jesus is King!"


John 3:16 



For God so loved the world that He gave 
His one and only Son, 
that whoever believes in Him 
shall not perish 
but have eternal life.







And at night the Green Tree Frogs sing, "Thank You." "Thank You." "Thank You."



Abba, Father

Blessed be the Name of Jesus.

Thank You. Thank You. Thank you. Thank You. Thank You. Thank you. Thank You. Thank You. Thank you.

Matthew 6:25-34 ~ feeds them

 













Matthew 6:25-34 



“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.




Who is your Daddy?!





Just maybe you remember the movie "Parenthood" (1989), with Steve Martin.

Gil: They call me Cowboy Gil, as in guil-ty. I saw Cowboy Dan. I didn't like the look on his face. It was like this...

Gil: ... so I killed him. I blew a hole in him this big. Actually it was about this big. You know, when I think about it, that hole was about THIS BIG! And his guts were spilled out all over the floor. As I was walkin' away, I slip around on his guts. A couple of other people came by and started slippin' on his guts too. After I blow a hole in somebody and slip around on their guts... afterwards, I always like to make balloon animals. That's mighty courteous of you. Here we go!


[Holds up jumbled of twisted balloons]
Gil: Your lower intestine!

Gil practices endlessly to make Kevin perfect in their baseball adventures. By the end of the horrific season, Kevin catches the ball and Gil goes home to proclaim the catch was a, "miracle" to his wife. His wife smirks and says, "Endless practice."


What about not being anxious... Christians tend to more worried and more anxious and more eager to please. Not really a bad thing when you consider these are souls at work for Him. We get ourselves in such a knot over not being nervous. The disciples were constantly being flummoxed with worry.

We get exactly like this - worried over worrying. Real is what Father God wants from us. The father who cried out, "I believe, help my unbelief!" - This father was within a few thousand feet of the Transfiguration. We could do this, then!

Sufficient is the day - we have to have practice with our gratitude - without really digging a lot goes past us, and, then, we don't see how He is working all things to the good of those who love the Lord.

Crying, for me, helps. A rain shower to allow the emotion to be recognized and helped.


Psalm 139:23

Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!


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!


Malachi 3:10
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.




Matthew 14:31

Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and caught him. 
"You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"





Luke 13:34

How often I have longed to gather your children together, 
as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings


Isaiah 40

Comfort, comfort my people,
says your God.
2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and proclaim to her
that her hard service has been completed,
that her sin has been paid for,
that she has received from the Lord’s hand
double for all her sins.



3 A voice of one calling:
“In the wilderness prepare
the way for the Lord;
make straight in the desert
a highway for our God.






4 Every valley shall be raised up,
every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
the rugged places a plain.
5 And the glory of the Lord will be revealed,
and all people will see it together.
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”






Abba, Father,

Your Nature is God of Love. God of Encouragement. God of Hope.
God wants to save the world in Jesus Christ.

The Nature of Jesus Christ is on display for all generations.
Jesus did not send down fire upon the Samaritans.

Jesus explained God allows divorce for hard-heartedness.
And explains if we Believe in the Scriptures
we should do the work God gives us to believe,
Love and Bless one another.

He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, 
and through whom He made the universe. 

The Son is the radiance of God’s glory 
and the exact representation of His nature, 
upholding all things by His powerful Word. 

After He had provided purification for sins,
 He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.


Thank You for creating us to be who You want us to be. 

Today, we choose to see ourselves as You see us, to believe in our life in You
 as You believe in us and to love each other as You love us. 

Thank you for the resurrection power of Your Presence 
- living in us as individuals and in your Church.

Dwell in those we Love.
Help us always to seek You First.
In Jesus Christ, we will finish well.

Asking Your Help and Blessing
on Marriages and Families. 

Your Beloved, pray for Ukraine, times are difficult and hopeful.

We pray the violence will stop here and in Your Good Creation.

In Jesus Christ, We pray the horrible heat waves will end.

We ask for the return of good weather.

And ask Your Love and Mercy on the
many difficult challenges of healing from the Pandemic.

We receive everything You desire for us this day. And the days to come.
In Jesus. Amen.

To You be the Glory. 
Amen in Jesus, Amen.

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
