Luke 12:29-31 ~ your Father knows that you need these things

 

So many people fear God will send them forth to scary places.

 And find the places they wanted to go, arrived, weren't exactly sterling and comfy. 

Luke 12:29-31

"Do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, 

and do not keep worrying. 

For all these things 

the nations of the world eagerly seek; 

and

your Father knows that you need these things.

 But seek His kingdom, and these things 

will be added to you."

In the small things in life. The tenderness. A lamp is mended. A fan is repaired. Small acts of kindness, giving the heart a chance to be grateful. A son returns home. A wash basin is restored.

The Language of Love.

Reconciliation is great, but living together, working together, serving each other. This involves interesting dynamics! 

Every one of us knows from experience, being reconciled is not the same as living together in relationship. The dynamics of relationship together takes ongoing work. Commitment to relationship, habits of healthy and fair communication, and especially keeping the relationship clean. A terrible marriage, resolving 5 years of hard work, has an impeccable historic victory in reconciliation. I will be your loyal friend and you do the same. 

All of us know that in living together, working together, little things can irritate, habits unintentionally offend, communication in the negotiation of life can become harsh and undisciplined to find the shut-you-up dog path of get-on-with-life and stop being the spoil sport.

And we end up regretting what we are saying, and the relationship becomes defiled. Soiled by selfishness or terrible habits.

Now this happens when people are compatible, the personalities fit well together. Just imagine the dynamics when sinful people try to get alone with a holy God who is a consuming fire. The wash basin, which was the next piece of furniture after the bronze altar of sacrifice, had to do with the dynamics of keeping the relationship with God clean.

Exodus 30

17 Then the Lord said to Moses, 18 “Make a bronze basin, with its bronze stand, for washing. Place it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it. 19 Aaron and his sons are to wash their hands and feet with water from it. 20 Whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water so that they will not die. 

Also, when they approach the altar to minister by presenting an offering made to the Lord by fire, 21 they shall wash their hands and feet so that they will not die. This is to be a lasting ordinance for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come.”

How will we sweep away what clutters us?

Jesus knew His disciples had come to a time of decision. Some wanted seats in Heaven. They had almost all left upon finding, Jesus wanted them to eat His Body and Blood.

The things God asks of people are difficult. Only faith in God gets us by. Humans change, fade and wither. God wants us to develop our skill to see further than the immediate journey.

John 9:4

"We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work."

Jesus said, "Give us the Day!" Jesus probably didn't monotone talk about one more day in a bored fashion. Jesus, The Christ of God, looked for Joy and Life and Love.

Ecclesiastes 9:10

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might."

Paul explained this. Peter spoke of this.

John 13:9

“Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!

Isaiah said "Send me!"

Psalm 107

Some went down to the sea in ships,

    doing business on the great waters;

24 they saw the deeds of the Lord,

    his wondrous works in the deep.

25 For he commanded and raised the stormy wind,

    which lifted up the waves of the sea.

26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;

    their courage melted away in their evil plight;

27 they reeled and staggered like drunken men

    and were at their wits' end.

28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

    and he delivered them from their distress.

29 He made the storm be still,

    and the waves of the sea were hushed.

30 Then they were glad that the waters were quiet,

    and he brought them to their desired haven.

31 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

    for his wondrous works to the children of man!

Matthew 7:25

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

Matthew 8:26

He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

Acts 2:2

Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

John 6:68

Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life."

Matthew 8:27

The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey Him!”

The waves at Nazare, Portugal, were 73 and 78 feet high.

Now, consider, how Jesus yesterday, today and tomorrow would walk on waves. Not surfing, but knowing how surfing is done.

Jesus is Living Water. The Mystery is great. Still startling.

Hebrews 1:3 

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the Word of His Power.

Matthew 28:20

 Teaching them to observe all things 

whatsoever I have commanded you: 

and, lo, I am with you always, 

even unto the end of the world. 

Amen.

For millenniums, people have looked, prayed, trusted God with His guidance. Including the ancestry of Jesus.

Ruth 1:16-17

And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, 

or to return from following after thee: 

for whither thou goest, I will go; 

and 

where thou lodgest, I will lodge: 

thy people shall be my people, 

and thy God my God: 

Where thou diest, will I die, 

and there will I be buried

 the LORD do so to me, and more also, 

if ought but death part thee and me.

Abba, Father,

Psalm 139

O Lord, you have searched me and known me!

You know when I sit down and when I rise up;

    you discern my thoughts from afar.

You search out my path and my lying down

    and are acquainted with all my ways.

Even before a word is on my tongue,

    behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.

You hem me in, behind and before,

    and lay your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

    it is high; I cannot attain it.

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.

Dwell in us, Father,

Dwell in those we love.

Help us to Seek You First.

And in Jesus Christ, we will finish well.

You have the whole world in Your Hand.

You, Father, uphold the universe 

by the Word of Your Power.

And we are saved in Jesus Christ.

Forever

and ever.

Alleluia,

Allllll e Lu iaaaaaa

Upholds the universe by the Word of His Power

Luke 19:45-48 ~ a house of prayer

 

The Shepherd, by Greg Olson

Luke 19:45-48

 And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, 46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers.”

47 And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him, 48 but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words.



Jesus said that we, in our bodies, are the Temple

1 Corinthians 6:19

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own

Jesus went into the Temple at least 26 times, recorded in the Gospels; And Jesus entered Synagogues at least 12 times. Every day, Jesus acknowledged mercy over sacrifice.

Mark 10:27

Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."

Matthew 5:14

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

Philippians 2:1-11

So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, 

any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 

2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, 

being in full accord and of one mind. 

3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 

4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 

5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 

6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 

9 Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, 

in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 

11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, 

to the glory of God the Father.

What will we accomplish? We won't save the world. Only Jesus, God's Son has Salvation. We accomplish God's Will by prayer and following His Word. We accomplish this by Believing in the Grace of God, we do the work to Believe the One He has Sent. Jesus the Lord.

What does God want from us? Mercy over sacrifice.

Micah 6:8 

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God

Proverbs 21:3

 

To do righteousness and justice is more desirable to the LORD than sacrifice.

 Ecclesiastes 12:13

 

When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: 

Fear God and keep His commandments, 

because this is the whole duty of man.

 Isaiah 56:1

 

This is what the LORD says: "Maintain justice and do what is right, for My salvation is coming soon, and My righteousness will be revealed.

Psalm 73:28

 

 For me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, 

that I may tell of all Your Works.

Abba, Father,

Jesus has become our wisdom sent from God, our righteousness, our Spirit of counsel and strength, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD, until the redemption of those who are God's possession, to the praise of His glory.

Blessed be God our strength and redemption.

Give us the Good Works 
You would have 
us to walk in.

Help us to Seek You First. And in being Renewed

we will see Your Heavenly Kingdom today. Give us This Day.

Pour in us Your Holy Spirit!

Micah 4

 We will walk in the Name of the Lord our God 
forever and ever

Micah 4

Revised Standard Version

In days to come

the mountain of the Lord’s house

shall be established as the highest of the mountains,

and shall be raised up above the hills.

Peoples shall stream to it,

2 and many nations shall come and say:

‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,

to the house of the God of Jacob;

that he may teach us his ways

and that we may walk in his paths.’

For out of Zion shall go forth instruction,

and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

3 He shall judge between many peoples,

and shall arbitrate between strong nations far away;

they shall beat their swords into plow shares,

and their spears into pruning-hooks;

nation shall not lift up sword against nation,

neither shall they learn war anymore;

4 but they shall all sit under their own vines and under their own fig trees,

and no one shall make them afraid;

for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.

5 For all the peoples walk,

each in the name of its god,

we will walk in the Name of the Lord our God

forever and ever.

6 On that day, says the Lord,

I will assemble the lame

and gather those who have been driven away,

and those whom I have afflicted.

7 The lame I will make the remnant,

and those who were cast off, a strong nation;

and the Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion

now and for evermore.

8 And you, O tower of the flock,

hill of daughter Zion,

to you it shall come,

the former dominion shall come,

the sovereignty of daughter Jerusalem.

9 Now why do you cry aloud?

Is there no king in you?

Has your counselor perished,

that pangs have seized you like a woman in labor?

10 Writhe and groan, O daughter Zion,

like a woman in labor;

for now you shall go forth from the city

and camp in the open country;

you shall go to Babylon.

There you shall be rescued,

there the Lord will redeem you

from the hands of your enemies.

11 Now many nations

are assembled against you,

saying, ‘Let her be profaned,

and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.’

12 But they do not know

the thoughts of the Lord

they do not understand His Plan,

that He has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing-floor.

Arise and thresh,

O daughter Zion,

for I will make your horn iron

and your hoofs bronze;

you shall beat in pieces many peoples,

and shall devote their gain to the Lord,

their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.

John 9:3.4

The Works of God would be displayed in Him; 
while it is daytime, 
we must do the works of Him who sent Me.

We hold 

these truths 

to be self-evident. 

All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator 

with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
