Daniel 2:31-49 ~ The God of Heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory



Daniel 2:31-49




 “This was the dream. Now we will tell the king its interpretation. 

37 You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of Heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory, 38 and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the children of man, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the heavens, making you rule over them all—you are the head of gold. 



39 Another kingdom inferior to you shall arise after you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth. 40 And there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks to pieces and shatters all things. And like iron that crushes, it shall break and crush all these. 41 And as you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom, but some of the firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle. 43 As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay. 

44 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever

45 just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be after this. 

The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”




46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face and paid homage to Daniel, and commanded that an offering and incense be offered up to him.

 47 The king answered and said to Daniel, 
“Truly, your God is God of gods and Lord of kings, and a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery.”

 48 Then the king gave Daniel high honors and many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon. 49 Daniel made a request of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon. But Daniel remained at the king's court.


 

Ephesians 2:8

For by grace you have been saved through faith; 
and that not of yourselves, 
it is the gift of God


The evangelism of the Holy Spirit is very effective.














Ezekiel 11:14-21

‘Thus says the Lord God: Though I removed them far off among the nations, and though I scattered them among the countries, yet I have been a sanctuary to them for a while in the countries where they have gone.’ 

17 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.’ 18 And when they come there, they will remove from it all its detestable things and all its abominations.

 19 And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them.

 I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh,  that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them.

 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

  

  


  Malachi 4:5–6  

6 And He shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, 
and the heart of the children 
to their fathers

Prayers

 



Psalm 6

Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
    heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
3 My soul also is greatly troubled.
    But you, O Lord—how long?

4 Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;
    save me for the sake of your steadfast love.



Last night, we did not have a Post. I ate something that gave me food poisoning. And spent the evening praying to not feel so terrible. We fortunately had a bottle of Pepto Bismal and blue Gatorade. The Lord was good to my foxhole prayers and I was able to sleep at a good hour. And sleep this morning as well. We pray for continued good health, for myself and all of God's Good Creation.





Thank You, Father

Amen.

Yes Thank You, Lord, the Name of the Lord, Jesus

John 6:35-40 ~ I will raise him up


 


John 6:35-40



Jesus said to them, “I am the Bread of Life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 

37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 

38 For I have come down from  Heaven, not to do my own will but the will of Him who sent me. 

39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. 

40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in Him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”






I was thinking about freedom from worry today, in the middle of this season when the news is without many solutions. Poor Chicago. 

Jesus is the Gate 



John 10:9 

 I am the door. 
If anyone enters by me, he will be saved 
and will go in and out 
and find pasture.


And Our Father gave Heaven 12 gates. Pearl gates, yet, the images we have for Gates of Heaven...












What if the Pearl was the Glow of the Holy Spirit?











Jesus tells us the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. We are asked to pray more of God's Will done on earth as in Heaven. 




One of the ideas Mindful thought has, is as we enter a doorway - anywhere, we think of where we are, where we have been and be grateful. Some people do this for every doorway. What we pray for with hope.

Do I really believe we will do this in all doorways? No, life presses us on to the next thought. But any device or pneumatic device causing us to have more gratitude, is bound to increase positive thought patterns. 

To have gratitude, reminds us about sincere joy. Asking the Lord to flood every particle, cell, idea, light in our bodies to have gratitude. To bring Him Joy and our Joy as well.

We know Jesus had a physical body as He left the Tomb. And His feet literally went to the places He knew. What relief Jesus must have felt to have the ordeal of the Cross behind Him.



We could probably think, Jesus had His heart and mind focused joyfully on a new aspect of Life.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. New ideas, new paths. We know Jesus walked the road to Emmaus.  And traveled, appearing as Light itself, into rooms that were closed.


New ideas. 

What if we could just turn off the situations we talk about that are so bizarre, and only appeal to about 3 percent of the population.


And we thought about solutions.  

So many of the nurseries in the south, have too many winter to spring plants, they won't live to June. For short term, sure. 

What if we all put in the ideas that are so different, like not having a yard, and thought about His Good Creation.


To care for His Good Creation. And we took the ideas of no yard, to a yard that integrates bees and less water, mowing and insecticide. For the Northern United States, white Clover looks good in mild summer climates.



In Texas, and the South, we won't have this luxurious idea. But we could add in Texas Agrilife's Neches High Temp White Clover.  We would have a hybrid, but weeds would be diminished and bees would be shared with the glories of the whole Clover lawn.



And then we would find what we would seed our flowerbeds with, ending weeds as the taller flowers grew.  And thrilled the Hummingbirds, the birds looking for a worm and, again, the bees.

Ebby Halliday of Dallas used to love to tell about Dallas recovering from Black Monday 1987, Dallas had more business start-ups as a percentage of the entire population, than ever before.
We need some positive ideas and companies.  When the King Ranch was running out of ideas, they began to grow St. Augustine Grass, and the King Ranch was flush again. We need some optimism again.  Ideas inspiring hope, instead of just and, only, change. Inspiration. Gratitude. Mindful Gratitude.









Father, Abba,

On the days we do not appreciate all of our blessings, help infuse our blessings into our heart, minds and soul. Let every blood cell carry gratitude in us to our Joy 

And the Joy of Jesus Christ.

Help us to gather wisdom without shrewdness. Let us have the joy of gladness in our fellowship without the endless gathering of resources and funds.

Lord, in Your mercy, send help, in these days of gloom and unhappiness. Let those of us having a good season shine the Light of Jesus Christ so gently and brightly the world is eager for Jesus Christ. Let those of us having a season of stress and sorrow, believe gently and bring the Light of Jesus Christ for all of us.

In the Great Love of Jesus, 
we all be saved as we put our trust in Him.

Bless You, Father, for Jesus Christ. Amen.

Romans 12:9-21 ~ Love one another

 



Romans 12:9-21



9 Let love be genuine. 

Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 

10 Love one another with brotherly affection. 

Outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit,serve the Lord. 

12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.  

Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 

15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 

18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.


I didn't know how much life would change from the Covid Pandemic. Yet, life really changed. While I was still pretty naive about Covid, I remember 4 events standing out.

A friend called to say they were ruined in retirement age. And they found their legs. Thank God.

A young 20s woman burst into bawling tears at Starbucks, saying she was too young to die and what about her family. Seeing her comforted.

A Veterinarian, on Social Media, said she had changed her name to make this Post about how hard it was to see families struggle to pay for vet care and the animals that live with the necessities. The hardships she sees for people and the pets. Her interactions with choices and care. And her desire to cope and not drown. The overwhelming support she received. Perhaps the overwhelming love really helped because she did not post again. And her profound thanks.

My mother always joked when she was done in and couldn't hear or know, she wanted to be put in with birds with Bird Flu and leave the earth to fly to Heaven. Mother used up all her physical health and speech, movement, words, memories and contracted Covid. She had paid 26 years to have long-term health insurance because she wanted to pass on with plenty of calm people, oxygen and definitely morphine.  And thanks to endless calls to Hospice, Mother had her care. 


The pandemic has changed life. 

Work patterns have changed. Travel is far more on the Holidays to gather with family. The Housing market is just bizarre, mortgage rates are what we had on two of our long-term houses. Almost half of all people in the USA say they think this is the end of the world, or at least privately worry. The working poor has increased dramatically with the fear to be able to afford necessities. Solutions are few, remedies are wrong and bad news rolls in with glee. Homelessness goes on for city blocks and is... Ignored?

What is Good? Where is Good? 


Matthew 17:7
Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and have no fear.”



81% of the United States really celebrated Easter, believing Jesus is the Risen Lord and will hear our prayers. Knowing that Pandemic Recovery makes people violent on airplanes. Traveling to see their families.






Luke 17:19
And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; 
your faith has made you well.”



John 11:23
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”



Luke 7 we will all know.

13When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.” 

14 Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,”

 He said, “I tell you, rise up!” 

15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak! 

Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.









Abba, Father,

We thank You for Jesus
and His Salvation.

Amen in Jesus.

Yes Thank You, Father

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

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. <><
