Romans 8:27-28 ~ according to the Will of God


This exact print was a prayer my father said many times. A Scottish prayer he had learned from his Grandfather in Rosedale, Mississippi. Daddy loved to quote this. We were in Williamsburg in a print shop, my mother saw this being printed on the printer showing print techniques from the colonial days. The whole family waited outside the shop for the paper to dry and bought this. We've had this in my family 46 years from the date of purchase, sometime in 1976.





Today, I had the grumps finding the things I needed for the Tree lights to work. Then the lights just wouldn't sit on the branches and I felt overwhelmed as we fought with the lights, dangling from the top of the ladder. Then the new ornaments, carefully shopped to finally decorate the back of the tree, decided to hide in different boxes and places they should have been in.  I very briskly and loudly sorted the boxes with Christmas wrap and... and the empty boxes, and accidentally broke a favorite lamp I've had since college. So many loving and warm memories.


Yelled. Acted the Grinch, forsook the lovely Christmas Carols playing. The dog decided the kitchen was a great place to stay by the door. I suppose I acted up for at least 45 minutes. I found what I was looking for. Looked over at my husband now grooming the dog. He was so calm. Edward asked me if I had sorted it out yet. Yes. And I found what I looked for and sorted about 15 boxes in record time. By the way, I found what I was looking for, Edward. 

Edward smiled and said good, got it out of you. Yes. Feel better? Yes, mostly.

I was tacky. Beastie, not exactly long-legged.


And my spouse smiled. Glad to see good humor returned. God of Love. God of Encouragement. Wanting to find us stronger and more able to see past our flaws and to the God of Love. Giving us understanding, believing we will get past our small mindedness.  Believing, we will leave our selfishness and be glad, very much, for the Blessings God Lavishes on us.





Jesus got on the water and traveled where God would take Him. Water can be dangerous, storms lethal. Life changes. 
We have to adapt within the changes 
and find the Blessings to see 
God Loves us.



I looked inside me and around me, nothing jumped up to say, "Bad Person." And then. Glad to not have offended. With some sorrow at the possibility to have offended what is good and loyal. Loving. Now, as maudlin, threatened joy in forgiveness. I reached up, in the backyard, to pull down several dead twigs and small branches. Was stung by an asp. 3 Benadryl capsules later, soft gel, popped rubbed in fire bites with a bandage. 

One Scripture comes to mind to make maudlin stop by way of Benadryl. And sleepy.


Romans 8:27-28




And He who searches our hearts 
knows the mind of the Spirit, 
because the Spirit intercedes for the saints 
according to the will of God. 

28 And we know that God works all things 
together for the good 
of those who love Him, 
who are called according to His purpose. 


Romans 1:7

To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: 
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.


1 Corinthians 1:9

God, who has called you into fellowship with 

His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.


Romans 8:30

And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, 
He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.


Romans 11:29

For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable.


1 Corinthians 1:2,3 

 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus 
and called to be holy, 
together with all those everywhere 
who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
 their Lord and ours: 

 Grace and peace to you 

from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are told God gives us abilities to walk in Good Works. Sometimes when you don't even deserve the mercy, God is very merciful inside us. And strengthens us. To Love again.


Blessed are the Merciful, they shall receive Mercy. I am blessed freely and without fully deserving.






Abba, Father,

The Joy of the Lord is our Strength. Alleluia Jesus Christ.

We will give Justice with Mercy 

and walk humbly with our Lord.

Amen.

1 Corinthians 12:4
Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.


We will carry Jesus and Christmas in our hearts every day.

Isaiah 45:8-10 ~ Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit

 














Isaiah 45:8-10




Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit,
And righteousness spring up with it. 

I, the LORD, have created it.


God does not vary, He is the same Steadfast Love yesterday, today and tomorrow.And in the Celebration God has in Creation - 

God said, "Let there be Light!"





Christmas

Luke 19:28

"I tell you," He replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."


Before deciding Christmas is a marketing and retail event, decide in faith all mankind is part of the Light of Jesus Christ. Scripture assures us every single person, soul, will see Jesus Christ Triumphant. And wonder if Christmas isn't to call His Light into souls giving with loving intentions.  God does what He does in plain sight, without Trumpets until the Close.














The paths of God, He calls the work of mankind, are filled with internal Love, Joy, Peace and Hope. This hope lifts us from the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Events of every day irritation and dismay.



Isaiah 51:6

Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
and look at the earth beneath

For the heavens vanish
like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment,
and they who dwell in it will die in like manner

However 
My salvation will be forever,
and My righteousness will never be dismayed.



God lifts up Ecclesiastes House to the Gospels of Love and Encouragement in Jesus Christ.


Ecclesiastes 1:9

What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, 
and there is nothing new under the sun.


After World War II, the Cathedrals of Europe began to become empty. And God is bringing new life. The Celebration of Genesis, when God gave Light to the world. Light to dwell in mankind. The Allies are celebrating with Europe.


The Return of a type of Festival of Booths.


This might not be the Christmas that The Bells Rang the Most. And I think a lot of people are discouraged. And yet, Salvation is winning. The Plan of God is easy for Him to achieve.

Jesus told us in the Gospels, oil in the lamp was put there by mankind determined to go the distant, to the finish. 

Hanukkah is found in the Greek portion of the Bible, given in the First Council of Nicaea.  The first four chapters of Maccabees describe the horror of war, occupation and being directed to leave belief for a new set of rules for mankind.  We don't even touch the carnage of 165 B.C. Judea. Hanukkah is something Christians love to consider. The great works of God, Moses, Elijah and despair with enduring faith produced Bravery, Endurance and Eventual Victory.






Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers, whatever is true,
 whatever is honorable, 
whatever is just, 
whatever is pure, 
whatever is lovely, 
whatever is commendable, 

if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise,
 think 
about these things.






Colossians 3:17

   And whatsoever ye do in word or deed,
            do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
               giving thanks to God and the Father by him.





What will we call the opportunity to Celebrate Life During the time of Christ's Mass?

Cathedrals were built and in the Blessing of the Dedication - people like Charlemagne are mentioned. Consider how many prayers have been given for almost a thousand years for the lives inside and outside of Cathedrals. In Churches everywhere.

Now Apply this Scripture to the reawakening of Christmas in Booths. Prayers answered are the joy of God our Father. So many prayers said for Churches, Steeples and all the People. So many hearts for the Lord Jesus, born in the mess of life to an unwed mother in harsh travels in a barn. With the promise of Love and family.  And Jesus gave them Acts 1 and Acts 2 - praying together daily and sharing.



Luke 1


13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, 15 for he will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. 16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God, 17 and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.”


18 And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” 19 And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. 20 And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.” 21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering at his delay in the temple. 22 And when he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he kept making signs to them and remained mute. 23 And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home.

24 After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived







 


John 8:12

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying,

“I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, 
but will have 
the light of life.”



Abba, Father,

O Come all ye Faithful
Joyful
and Triumphant

and we will sing Hymns.
Asking as Jesus taught us,
More Heaven on earth.

Lifting up Blessings,
Bringing Joy of the Jesus Season.

Asking Your Willing Blessings,
and giving Thanks for Your Love for our Loved Ones.
Dwell in us, in Jesus Christ.

You do more for us,
 than we can ask or even imagine.

Blessing You for this Nation trusting in You.
Blessing Jesus for the Beloved of God praying more Heaven on earth
encompassing all of creation and all of the nations.

Help us to Seek
You first.

In Jesus Christ, we say Alleluia. 
Amen.

Psalm 130 ~ In His Word I Hope

 


Celtic Carillon, Scotland's national hand-bell ensemble, Morning Has Broken in Dunblane Cathedral

Psalm 130



Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in His word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.

O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with Him is plentiful redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities!


Revelation 21:5

“And He who was seated on the throne said, 
Behold, I am making all things new.” 

Also He said, 'Write this down, 
for these words are trustworthy and true.”



Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers, whatever is true,
 whatever is honorable, 
whatever is just, 
whatever is pure, 
whatever is lovely, 
whatever is commendable, 

if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise,
 think 
about these things.




1 John 2:7-8

 Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, 
but an old commandment that you had from the beginning.

 The old commandment is the Word that you have heard. 

8 At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in Him and in you, 
because the darkness is passing away 


Jeremiah 1:12 

 For I will hasten My Word to perform it.



Abba, Father, 


You are Vast and Loving. 
Help us each day to bring Your Love 
to those we would ask You to Gather to You.
 Teach us, guide us, lead us, to be on Your Path.
 Protect us and give us Your wisdom. 

We ask this in the Name of Jesus - patient with His Mother, 
Brothers and His family for millenniums. 

We pray for Your Word to be Spoken.

Our prayers each day
for 
Our Loved Ones
Prayer Requests
this Nation
Food for Your Good Creation
Your Promises
and Peace

We would pray with Jesus Christ 
 let the Spirit give Life to this prayer.
Dwell in us.
Dwell in those we Love.
Help us to seek You first.
And in Jesus, we will finish well.

In Jesus. Amen.

Matthew 11:29-30 ~ Learn from Jesus Christ

 




Matthew 11:29-30




29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”


This morning my post-Covid strong congestion in my sinuses ceased. To wake me up early as some profound coughing. I'm tired this evening and the cough wants to return.

Please pray for all the people with flu A or B and children with respitory illnesses. And for me to boldly and with strength recover. I'm grateful this has been fairly easy! Cheerful to see I'm not dying.


Abba, Father,

I come to You as one weary. And ask you for only light burdens
in Covid recovery for myself and those with Flu or Respiratory Illnesses and Covid.

We take Your yolk upon us and asked to be yoked to faith
and faithful.  Your Yolk, Jesus Christ, is Your Tunic. Not difficult to carry. Woven for Jesus Christ with love. 

You are gentle Lord Father,  gentle of heart and not boastful or arrogant of heart as You heal us all. Will find rest for our souls and in Your mercy, recovery.

Isaiah 40:31
They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; 
they shall mount up with wings like eagles; 
they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

To our Father God
and our Jesus, Wonderful
We give You thanks for the instructions
on bringing Prayer to the Holy Spirit and God the Father.

Amen in Jesus.

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. <><
