Proverbs 31:25 ~ Strength And Splendor

 


Finding our Christmas Spirit in a difficult and challenging year. 



1 Thessalonians 5:18

Give thanks in all circumstances; 
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

God hasn't forgotten our address. He knows our difficulties. And He has a Plan. 









Psalm 118:24
This is the day that the Lord has made; 
let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Looking for God's Plan, we have to unravel our mixed blessings to see more blessings. Look. Watch. Say Thank You. Do not grow weary. Most of have concerns in good times to see them last. We can take comfort that difficulties heal as well, we do our part, speak up, act with courage, keep asking the Lord to Bring Us This Day.






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.



We want our Father to never leave nor forsake us,
we can do our part. Seek the Lord first.
The Adventure.


The Word of God says not all knowledge increases happiness. Not everything we do is joyful. And in the Old Testament, the Children of Israel used the Balm of Gilead believing this was a healing Help.  In the New Covenant,  we know the Name of Jesus. Prayer can always put the Balm, which is really The Highest Name of Jesus. We can apply The Balm of Jesus in us to what hurts, asking Jesus to go deeper in every cell and every direction we don't even fathom. The Scriptures assure us our Prayers go farther than we imagine.

I like the Prayer of the Balm of Jesus. Jesus understanding our emotions and situations better than we do ourselves. His Love.

.
 




James 1:17  

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, 
coming down from the Father of lights
 with whom there is no variation 
or shadow 
due to change.



Blessings. Seek and ye shall find.  Life has a way of handing us wet blankets. People and situations  want us to know we don't come first and are far down the line. Not with the Lord.

His Plan is Triumphant. You matter to the Lord.  Your Prayers have to be seen as Part of "Your Will be Done."   It's easier to have some cynicism. Jesus was dealing with the Pharisees and He said He did not trust them, He knew what was in mankind. John 2:24.  John found it necessary to put this statement in the early part of His Gospel Truth. But cynicism is cynicism, and is the root of bitterness.  

Jesus goes on to tell us the Parable of the Ten Talents. What we think about God is very important in our inner core. What was Jesus talking about when He said He is living water? He meant once you know in your depth that God is for you, the rest is fairly insignificant in our deepest safety and inner heart.  And like roots, this takes a Relationship growing in the speed God would allow.

God says man has plans which can be millstones. The Ten Parables  Where we put our faith, depends on the heart. The deeper the resources and faith in our heart, the more places God can fill. Oh the Places, He Will Go. 

The Blessings Scriptures ... when we fill empty, can say we are missing something. Yes, like an Emperor watching a child or grandchild walk, He could be disdainful of the lurching effort. God Himself, sent us Jesus, who says He will not bend or break a bruised reed. This is our Father, who has given us Jesus and Advent is the time we can be filled with wonder. Knowing Joy of Love. Love that believes we are capable of the Good Works He has given us to walk in. 


Find a Scripture about Blessings never having a diminished effect. We see in life, life changes and we ride the river of ebb and flow. Yes. The Adventure.   Ok, find a Blessings Prayer without variation. The Gates of Heaven are open constantly. Never does our Abba close His 12 Gates. Never does He call, He is in bed and too relaxed. Instead, He invites us to pray as if we are Best Friends.  God Says, we will sometimes view Him as an evil Judge, and He invites us to remember this isn't the truth.


God tells us if we allow Him, He will be Living Water flowing through us. Replenishing, filling what is needed, allowing what is empty to be filled.  Water will find a path we didn't know existed. God says He is Living Water. He leaves Heaven to be Grace upon Grace. He desires Mercy more than sacrifice. This is truly Love. And do we believe Heaven is Real? God does and this is the wisdom of the Universe. This is the One who says seek Him and we will find Him. His Gates are open.

Seeking is open hearts, open ways, filled with Love. Merciful. Renewing. John the Baptist said brood of vipers, God says Good Creation Filled with Joy. Joy. Jesus knows how the Bible closes in Revelation 22. Eden is Restored. Walk with the Lord.


Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.


Prayer John 17 is eternal. Blessings of this:


Ephesians 1:16 

I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers



Our Father is able to do immeasurably more 
than all we ask or imagine, 
according to His power 
that is at work within us, 
to Him be the glory in the church 
and 
in Christ Jesus 
throughout all generations, 
forever and ever. 
Amen.



Now, let's consider three final Blessings Scriptures.


Colossians 3:15 

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, 
which indeed you were called 
in one body. 
And be thankful.

The Diversity of mankind. All have different gifts.  The need for us to yield to ... the Lord. His Good Will, we Believe will be Done. The work of mankind is to believe in the One He has sent. John 6:29. The Ten Talents Parable believes greater is He who is in you, than he who is in the world. Believe!




Do not grow weary. Allow Living Water to be your search and Find Him.

Consider what Paul said about the ebbs and flows of life, as a blessing:


Acts 2: 2-3

2 When Paul was called in, Tertullus presented his case before Felix: 
"We have enjoyed a long period of peace
 under you, 
and your foresight has brought about reforms
 in this nation."

3 Everywhere and in every way, 
most excellent Felix, 
we acknowledge this 
with profound gratitude.




The 1980s did all kinds of conclusive studies
on Prayer and Health or Positive Outcomes.

Keep Oil in Your Lamp of Faith!


Proverbs 31:25




Clothed with strength and splendor, 
and look to the future 
with confidence.





Abba, Father,

Dwell in us mightily.
Know every cell and bring Light
within us in Your Joy and Love.

Be the Light to those I Love.

Help this Joy fill Your Good Creation.

Help us to not grow weary
Renew us
remembering our Living Water 
Streams of
 Jesus Christ, Messiah, Son of the Most High

In Your Mercy
help us to be
Your Joyful Temple.

Help us to Seek You First
and Pray
to You
in Jesus Christ
with all Joy of Your Steadfast
Love.

In The Highest Name of
Jesus Christ
we believe
and 
ask
Please Father,
Your Willing and Immeasurable
Blessings!

Our Father is able to do immeasurably more 
than all we ask or imagine, 
according to His power 
that is at work within us, 
to Him be the glory in the church 
and 
in Christ Jesus 
throughout all generations, 
forever and ever. 
Amen.

Psalm 106 ~ His Chosen One

 

We remember the Gospels, in detail, in Advent. Yet our Father has seen more of mankind, His people leading up to His Son, living with Him in Sheol, with Abraham and Jacob in the land of the living, before living as Grace upon Grace on His Good Creation.


Psalm 106






Praise the Lord!
Oh give thanks to the Lord, 
for He is good,
    for His steadfast love endures forever!


Gabriel, who stands in the Presence of the Lord

2 Who can utter the mighty deeds of the Lord,
    or declare all is praise?


John the Baptist, least in the Kingdom of Heaven

All have fallen short of the Glory of God

Elijah, if you will
What are you doing here, Elijah

Isaiah 40:3
The voice of one calling in the wilderness, prepare
the Way for the Lord
make straight  the Way for the Lord.




3 Blessed are they who observe justice,
    who do righteousness at all times!


4 Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people;
    help me when you save them,
5 that I may look upon the prosperity of your chosen ones,
    that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,
    that I may glory with your inheritance.


6 Both we and our fathers have sinned;
    we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.

7 Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,
    did not consider your wondrous works;
they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,
    but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.







8 Yet He saved them for His Name's sake,
    that He might make known His mighty power.





9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry,
    and He led them through the deep 
as through a desert.


 
Our Father would remember the flight in Egypt



10 So He saved them from the hand of the foe
    and redeemed them from the power of the enemy.


11 And the waters covered their adversaries;
    not one of them was left.

12 Then they believed His words;
    they sang His praise.


13 But they soon forgot His Works;
    they did not wait for His counsel.
14 But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness,
    and put God to the test in the desert;
15 He gave them what they asked,
    but sent a wasting disease among them.



16 When men in the camp were jealous of Moses
    and Aaron, the holy one of the Lord,
17 the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
    and covered the company of Abiram.
18 Fire also broke out in their company;
    the flame burned up the wicked.

19 They made a calf in Horeb
    and worshiped a metal image.
20 They exchanged the glory of God
    for the image of an ox that eats grass.

Oxen in the Temple, Power over Glory of God





21 They forgot God, their Savior,
    who had done great things in Egypt,
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham,
    and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.

23 Therefore He said he would destroy them—
    had not Moses, His chosen one,
stood in the breach 
before Him,
    to turn away His wrath from destroying them.








24 Then they despised the pleasant land,
    having no faith in His promise.

25 They murmured in their tents,
    and did not obey the voice of the Lord.
26 Therefore He raised His Hand and swore to them
    that He would make them fall in the wilderness,
27 and would make their offspring fall among the nations,
    scattering them among the lands.



28 Then they yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor,
    and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;
29 they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds,
    and a plague broke out among them.

30 Then Phinehas stood up and intervened,
    and the plague was stayed.





Jesus knows Abraham


31 And that was counted to him as righteousness
    from generation to generation forever.

32 They angered Him at the waters of Meribah,
    and it went ill with Moses on their account,
33 for they made his spirit bitter,
    and he spoke rashly with his lips.
34 They did not destroy the peoples,
    as the Lord commanded them,
35 but they mixed with the nations
    and learned to do as they did.
36 They served their idols,
    which became a snare to them.
37 They sacrificed their sons
    and their daughters to the demons;
38 they poured out innocent blood,
    the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
    and the land was polluted with blood.

39 Thus they became unclean by their acts,
    and played the whore in their deeds.




40 Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against His people,
    and He abhorred His heritage;
41 he gave them into the hand of the nations,
    so that those who hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies oppressed them,
    and they were brought into subjection under their power.




43 Many times He delivered them,
    but they were rebellious in their purposes
    and were brought low through their iniquity.









44 Nevertheless, 
He looked upon their distress,
    when He heard their cry.
45 For their sake He remembered 
His covenant,
    and relented 
according to the abundance 
of His steadfast love.




46 He caused them to be pitied
    by all those who held them captive.
47 Save us, O Lord our God,
    and gather us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to Your Holy Name
    and 
glory in Your praise.







48 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
    from everlasting to everlasting!

And let all the people say, “Amen!”
    Praise the Lord!

Abba, Father,

Sparrows are known to You
when they are sold or when they fall into Your Hand eternally.

You care for Your Good Creation so much
You number the hairs on our head.

As Your Son is entrusted to us
even as a mere baby
You believe we will do good
and walk in the good works You prepare for us.

Throughout the generations,
Your Love is steadfast.
God of Love
God of Encouragement
God who enables us to do Your Good Works.

Help us to abide in
Your Love. Every Give us this Day!

Thank You for wonderful Jesus.
Merry Christmas!

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. <><
