Psalm 48 ~ Great is the Lord

 

The Jordan explains Heaven's Clear Living Water

Glimpses of Heaven in the Mirror

Heaven's Open 12 Gates, our seasons and decisions of our life.

Rush hour.

Psalm 48

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised

    in the city of our God!

His holy mountain, 2 beautiful in elevation,

    is the joy of all the earth,

Mount Zion, in the far north,

    the city of the great King.

3 Within her citadels God

    has made himself known as a fortress.

Meeting Jesus Christ for the unprepared. Every knee will bow.

4 For behold, the kings assembled;

    they came on together.

5 As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;

    they were in panic; they took to flight.

6 Trembling took hold of them there,

    anguish as of a woman in labor.

7 By the east wind you shattered

    the ships of Tarshish.

8 As we have heard, so have we seen

    in the city of the Lord of hosts,

in the city of our God,

    which God will establish forever.

 Selah

9 We have thought on your steadfast love, O God,

    in the midst of Your Temple.

10 As your name, O God,

    so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth.

Your right hand is filled with righteousness.

  Let Mount Zion be glad!

Let the daughters of Judah rejoice

    because of your judgments!

12 Walk about Zion, go around her,

    number her towers,

13 consider well her ramparts,

    go through her citadels,

that you may tell the next generation

   that this is God,

our God forever and ever.

    He will guide us forever.

Abba, Father God,

Bless us to live in Your Heart. 

And dwell in us with Your Love and Grace.

Help us to seek You first

and we will see more Heaven on earth.

In Jesus Christ, we will finish well.

Isaiah 41:1-10 ~ The LORD

 

When David faced any storm in his adult life, he had people who helped, however, mostly, he knew the storms needed the Lord to be solved, endured and overcome. The Psalms reveal the depth of David's sorrow, fear, frustration, anger and resolve.  Some of the Psalms are not recited during calm groups.  David knew he faced death. And worse. The fight for the Lord was worth the battle. Let the Good, Righteous Love of God prevail. Even in the days of supreme difficulty. Never, never, never should evil triumph. Isaiah also knew the importance of Righteousness Reigning for God's glory and mankind.

Isaiah 41:1-10

  Listen to me in silence, O coastlands;

    let the peoples renew their strength;

let them approach, then let them speak;

    let us together draw near for judgment.

2 Who stirred up one from the east

    whom victory meets at every step?

He gives up nations before Him,

    so that He tramples kings underfoot;

He makes them like dust with his sword,

    like driven stubble with his bow.

3 He pursues them and passes on safely,

    by paths His Feet have not trod.

4 Who has performed and done this,

    calling the generations from the beginning?

I, the Lord,

 the First,

    and with the Last; 

I am He.

5 The coastlands have seen and are afraid;

    the ends of the earth remble;

    they have drawn near and come.

6 Everyone helps his neighbor

    and says to his brother, “Be strong!”

7 The craftsman strengthens the goldsmith,

    and he who smooths with the hammer him who strikes the anvil,

saying of the soldering, “It is good”;

    and they strengthen it with nails so that it cannot be moved.

But you, Israel, 

my servant,

    Jacob, whom I have chosen,

    the offspring of Abraham, my friend;

you whom I took from the ends of the earth,

    and called from its farthest corners,

saying to you, 

“You are my servant,

    I have chosen you and not cast you off”

Fear not, for I am with you;

    be not dismayed, 

for I am your God;

I will strengthen you, 

I will help you,

    I will uphold you with My Righteous Right Hand.

Hyssop

1 Peter 5:7

 

Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.

Philippians 4:13 

I can do all things through Him 

Who strengthens me.

Galatians 6:2

Bear one another's burdens, 

and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Hebrews 4:16

Let us then with confidence draw near to The Throne of grace, 

that we may receive mercy and find grace 

to help 

in time of need.

Romans 2:6-8

He will render to each one according to his works: 

to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, 

He will give eternal life; 

but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, 

but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.

Psalm 9:9-10

The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, 

a stronghold in times of trouble. 

And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, 

for You, O Lord, 

have not forsaken those who seek You.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, 

and do not lean on your own understanding. 

In all your ways 

acknowledge Him, 

and He will make straight your paths.

Psalm 5:4

For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; 

evil may not dwell with you.

Romans 8:28

And we know that for those who love God 

all things work together for good, 

for those who are called 

according to His Purpose.

Galatians 6:9

9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, 

if we do not give up.

Abba, Father,

Father, You have said

All these blessings will come on you 

and accompany you 

if you obey the Lord your God.

The Lord will send a blessing on your barns 

and on everything you put your hand to.

 The Lord your God will bless you in the land He is giving you.

You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

The Lord will establish you as His Holy people, as He promised you on oath,

 if you keep the commands of the Lord your God 

and walk in obedience to Him.

We believe Your blessing Father God,

 for ourselves, 

the ones we Love, 

the People You have given us. 

We believe Your Blessing for Our Jesus and Scripture believing Churches. 

We believe this for Your people around the world. 

We will believe this 

for Our Nation. 

Dwell in me,

Dwell in us,

Dwell in those we Love,

Help us to seek You first.

And we will finish well, in Jesus Christ. 

Help us find and bring

to become

 more Heaven

to this earth.

And the Nations of the world,

Your Good Creation,

Calling upon You.

And in Jesus - this Hope, 

Faith and Love - we will rise up believing Jesus. 

Amen.

Luke 2:15-19 ~ pondering

† 

Luke 2:15-19

15 When the angels went away from them into heaven, 

the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem 

and see this thing that has happened,

 which the Lord has made known to us.” 

16 And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, 

and the Baby lying in a manger. 

17 And when they saw it,

 they made known the saying 

that had been told them concerning This Child.

18 And all who heard it 

wondered 

at what the shepherds told them.

19 But Mary treasured up all these things, 

pondering them 

in her heart.

Father God gives the work of mankind to believe. 

The most important aspect of Life to our Father God would be Salvation.

 And because mankind is so precious to Father God parenting is extremely important. 

Mother's Day Week is a great time to remember.

Father God creates all things. 

In the ten talents parable, the one pleasing to God believes in God's goodness and all attributes of God. All things work together for good for those who have decided to work for God and support His ideals. His purpose.

Clearly Mary is such a person. 

Gabriel, who stands in the Presence of God, explains. The Son of God is born. Shepherds explain the Kingdom of God Heavenly Host arrives. We will find the magnificence of God puzzles and overwhelms even Mary's sense of orderly every day logic.

Mary is found wanting to preserve Love, tangible Love... more than isolated explanations of unseen, yet glorious Purposes of God. Mary fails in parenting the Unique aspects of Jesus, being entangled in God given, genuine Love. God finds Mary's Mercy for Love - very forgivable and gives her a Hope and Future in her darkest hour.

The Gospels regarding Mary provide profound hope for puny mortals. 

God's Favor Shines on Mercy with Love and safety of Love - attempting to thwart God's Very Mission of Salvation for mankind.

Not something we would want to happen from our own actions. We can't help but feel supreme relief for the Mercy and understanding of our Father God.

When we wonder about John, James - the sons of Zebedee - working with their mother to ask Jesus if they could sit at His Right Hand in His Heavenly Kingdom. And we wonder who would sit at Jesus' right hand. Mary saved Jesus when Gabriel told her the Good News of Jesus Christ. Mary changed all of her life and saved Jesus when she and Joseph went to Egypt to avoid Herod's murderous intent. 

Mary created a seamless home in Nazareth upon their return. Mary encouraged Jesus to perform His first sign. And Mary went to Jesus in His Ministry, to try to save His Life, again. Mary stood with Jesus when few would stand with Jesus on Good Friday.  No one has worked harder to save Jesus Christ. Mary's only steadfast equipment was her faith God would help and send help.

It's very probable, the one who sits next to Jesus, is Mary. Chosen to be Mother of God.

Mary is a Shepherd in the Flock of Jesus. Probably, the type of Lamb Jesus would want sitting next to Him. Chosen to be the Mother of God. Chosen to see with her own eyes, The Messiah, Savior of the world.  

Mary, as God had promised, saw His Salvation. Prepared for all people. Jesus the Light to reveal His God to the Nations. Jesus is the Glory of your people Israel.

Abba, Father,

Thank You for Jesus Christ.

He is the Bread of Life.

Help us, we pray for Your Blessings,

Dwell in us

and those we love, earnestly pray for.

Help us to seek you first.

You are the Bread of Life,

Help us to have Your blessing to 

have hearts pleasing to You

and the aroma of Love

Encouragement

Mercy

Hope

with all

good diligence.

Thank You, Father,

for our many blessings.

Help us to chose Your Joy

and to

see with willing hearts and eyes,

to be Blessing Seekers and Appreciators.

Isaiah 40:26

Lift up your eyes on high and see: 

Who created these? 

He who brings out their host by number,

 calling them all by name, 

by the greatness of His might, 

and because He is strong in power

 not one is missing.

In Jesus Christ, we will finish well.

In Jesus Christ

Our Lord

Our Savior

Wonderful Jesus,

we find

Our Alleluia in You.

Amen.
