Psalm 68 ~ Sing to God † † †





 


Psalm 68



 God shall arise, 
His enemies shall be scattered;
    and those who hate Him shall flee before Him!
2 As smoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away;
    as wax melts before fire,
    so the wicked shall perish before God!

But the righteous shall be glad;
    they shall exult before God;
    they shall be jubilant 
with joy!




4 Sing to God, sing praises to His Name;
    lift up a song to Him 
Who rides through the deserts;
His name is the Lord;
    exult before Him!


5 Father of the fatherless and protector of widows
    is God in His Holy Habitation.
6 God settles the solitary in a home;
    He leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
    but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.


O God, 
when You went out before Your people,
    when You marched through the wilderness,
 Selah

The earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain,
    before God, the One of Sinai,
    before God, 
the God of Israel.


Rain in abundance, O God, You shed abroad;
   Y you restored Your inheritance as it languished;
Your flock found a dwelling in it;
    in Your goodness, 
O God, 
You provided for the needy.

The Lord gives the Word;
    the women who announce the news 
are a great host:
“The kings of the armies—they flee, they flee!”
The women at home divide the spoil—
13     though you men lie among the sheepfolds—
the wings of a dove covered with silver,
    its pinions with shimmering gold.
14 When the Almighty scatters kings there,
    let snow fall on Zalmon.

15 O mountain of God, mountain of Bashan;
    O many-peaked mountain, mountain of Bashan!

16 Why do you look with hatred, O many-peaked mountain,
    at the mount that God desired for His Abode,
    Yes, where the Lord will dwell forever

17 The chariots of God are twice ten thousand,
    thousands upon thousands;
    the Lord is among them; 
Sinai is now in the sanctuary.




18 You ascended on high,
    leading a host of captives in Your train
    and receiving gifts among men,
even among the rebellious, that the Lord God may dwell there.



Blessed be the Lord,
    Who daily bears us up;
    God is our salvation. 
Selah


Our God is a God of salvation,
    and to God, the Lord, 
belong deliverances from death.

But God will strike the heads of His enemies,
    the hairy crown of him who walks in his guilty ways.

22 The Lord said,
    “I will bring them back from Bashan,
I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,
23 that you may strike your feet in their blood,
    that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from the foe.”

24 Your procession is seen, O God,
    the procession of my God, 
my King, 
into the sanctuary—
25 the singers in front, 
the musicians last,
    between them virgins playing tambourines:

“Bless God in the great congregation,
    the Lord, O you who are of Israel's fountain!”
There is Benjamin, the least of them, in the lead,
    the princes of Judah in their throng,
    the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.

28 Summon Your power, O God,
    the power, O God, by which You have worked for us.

29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem
    kings shall bear gifts to you.

30 Rebuke the beasts that dwell among the reeds,
    the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples.
Trample underfoot those who lust after tribute;
    scatter the peoples who delight in war.

31 Nobles shall come from Egypt;
    Cush shall hasten
 to stretch out her hands to God.

O kingdoms of the earth, 
Sing to God;
    sing praises to the Lord, 
Selah






To Him who rides in the Heavens

The ancient Heavens

    Behold, 
He sends out His voice, His mighty voice.

Ascribe power to God,
    Whose Majesty is over Israel,
    and 
Whose Power is in the skies.

35 Awesome is God 
from His Sanctuary;

    The God of Israel—
He is the One 
Who gives power and strength 
to His People.

Blessed be God!


Yesterday, we were out and about. With so very many.
 And surrounding us were people in determined good spirits with children. Women with their friends to explain how difficult life is right now. And our 'working', during Hurricane Beryl recovery, phones in our hands to give us the surrounding community, around us, on social media, the world as it is being revealed to them in Hurricane Recovery.

My views saw very, very sad people. 
And people who wanted to know your experiences. Sometimes to let you know they want to jump down your gullet for any blessing. And others to let you know: This is a Really Difficult Time! I have great sorrow and am very upset. So upset. Others were upset about generators - who had them, who made a noise, who didn't say they had a generator and who was bragging about generators. (Oh, the tight rope of available masks fight, fight, fight, during the pandemic. And then the mask controversy fight.)

The community told us, the places advertising a welcome, to come in and charge up phones, be in air conditioning, have some warm food and cool beverage, they were at the point of breaking for asking to host people in such need. Their irritation, (oh, my, I have been irritated at home) made the serving community want to cry and quit and go home to no power and the comfort of being in solitude. 





I'd like to buy the world a coke
and
Keep it in
Perfect Harmony


Yes
 Coincidently, Beryl did arrive on July 8th
and
Surprise, I just realized this.

This comfort I'd like to provide to us, to the community worldwide, nationally and locally. 

This is my experience with generators.
jWe moved and lived in the snow belt when I was in 6th grade. Snow was up to the basement, houses, first floor window. About 6 to 9 feet of snow blown up against houses for months during those 4 winters. And the first year, the Dallas, Texas purchased coat wasn't insulated except plastic bags, we found out when the coat tore. So, I spent the first year in hypothermia cold. And I looked around and realized in our community the fireplaces were blocked up in the old houses, our existence was based on oil and gas brought in to our rural area with the graces, that nature wasn't going to crush the availability of energy during a blizzard. And I began to have nightmares. 

My parents faced my vocal concerns and nightmares by going to our friends, the local Episcopal priest and his dynamo wife. And we came up with a plan. The Rectory had fireplaces that worked in every large room. They said they would invite us and others to sleep where they always have logs and a fire. My father made sure my bed, upon discovering I was basically in a windbreaker the first year, and now had more covers. We decided, with my father purchasing more blankets for everyone, we could survive a blizzard. 



Houston had an amazing freeze during the 2020 Pandemic beginnings. 
We were 11'. Outside. Eleven Degrees. Without any power at all. No phones. No internet. No heat. Our fireplace is ornamental, not helpful. I had taken all our towels and extra blankets, placed them on our flora and fauna because this damn temperature was not forecasted to be like ... THIS. Now all the blankets were iced over. In the yards. The inside of our house was NINETEEN DEGREES in HOUSTON. For 5 days without power. And I had not thought to fill up the cars to drive away ... on the ice. We took the rugs up off the floors, and piled them on the bed. The area rugs, the bathroom rugs, the Living Room Rug, moved the dining room table and took up the dining room rug. Put them all on the bed. Then loaded the two Poodles up and put the 4 remaining blankets on them. This way, we could sleep without freezing to death.

The only cute part of the story were the Poodles. 
They were absolutely astonished to be sitting on all the rugs, on us. The rugs were quite flat. And the experience was jaw dropping to them. And they did not want to find out that sitting under blankets was part of the experience. We were absolutely insistent, they would sleep side by side, with the four blankets on top of them. In about 3 minutes, the Poodles were in complete agreement, the 4 blankets would be on them, and they would be side by side. They learned, during daylight hours, to bring us a blanket in their mouths and ask us to help them put the blanket on their back.







Sleeping with the idea of hypothermia, is not an adventure. 
Nor, is the historic use of coal INCREASE, worldwide, for this "climate help."

Rising Petroleum Costs do THIS to Coal Usage:


What Coal in PORT Harbors used to look like:



And NOW





Try finding what I see in Galveston Harbor. No straightforward photos to see of the Dramatic Increase in Stockpiles in Harbors. USA or Belgium. You can see them in China.

WHY? People cannot afford clean Natural Gas or Petroleum. The Air Quality is doing what? Oh, instead we hear in the news about gender change in children and sports. Very Pathetic. 



Wise Water Usage

NASA sees this coal usage and said the only positive change for coal usage is the world has never had more trees. The only area not affected by worldwide tree increase is the Amazon Forest. 

More projects have been in the works to have wise water usage and this, surprisingly, has been to plant more trees and not chop mature trees down!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqkok2p-Kw8  One desert dweller in the Mu Us Desert, China is covered 28% in desert has made a HUGE difference, followed now by the Chinese Government.

UN and the World Food Program have been working on the Sahara Desert from the middle of Africa with







I told Edward we would get a generator and view it like having a car. He said no. I said there is not a no that would stop me.  And after the first night of sleeping with all the rugs on the house on top of us with an idea of hyperthermia, Edward erased his no to a yes. 




What we learned about a generator. 
Installation, care and maintenance is of extreme importance. 

4 people died in Hurricane Beryl during the Hurricane.

2 more entire families 
were ICU Hospitalized due
to generators.

1 family 
because they were new to generators,
kept it in the house or garage
to create
Carbon Monoxide, Lethal Poisonous Air.

Generators do 
NOT
belong in the house
or even the garage.

1 family due to the fact
an inexperienced installation
from a licensed plumber or electrician
installed the Generator
Incorrectly.

Filling their house with
Lethal
Carbon Monoxide.

4 died
and then
2 entire families
had to be ICU Hospitalized.






Some people die from incorrect use of generators. It is serious. Professional and regular installers and instructions. Serious. We have a friend who has 4 room sized generators. Because they run on gasoline and run on one GALLON a day. With a rest period. His family finds this very comfortable. Another friend bought his off season generator at Tractor Supply, another at Harbor Freight, off season, refurbished, with a great warranty for less than an airline flight. It has a high number of kilowatts.  We went with a generator store with a warranty and warranty extensions.

Other people would rather have a week of inconvenience. 
Then others do this ... but then have such sadness. We have to determine what camp we are in and be resolute. Because there are such paths to having a generator. The room size generators are about $170 at Harbor Freight. They are for adult installation, with professional instructions, for safety reasons.







{Another factor to consider. A friend of ours installed a lifetime of the AC and heating for United Airlines. He says twin split HVAC is going to become the future of AC. All the lofts, in all the major cities use twin splits. Hotels always use twin splits. Corporations use twin splits in every room. And airlines and airports do as well. What attic space we will all have!!! To have a generator installed professionally. 

The problem with solar, it costs about 50k to install. Or 70k if you don't shop around. Will the new glued construction beams bear the weight? Then you have a $600 bill per month to pay off the solar for 2 decades or more. And the solar companies are going out of business like a plague. Which nullifies the warranty. And then some don't run AC. And then by the time it has broken and been repaired by non-matching, then the sun changes the colors to fuzzy. Then it is worn out. Time to spend 50g to save $200 a month. This doesn't mean solar won't one day be much better.  It's like Vacuum Technology: Roomba, for $390. Then you have to spend thirty minutes daily cleaning fur out of the Roomba. And now there is the Dyson that is expensive. Or you could have a $60 battery charged Shark sweeper that runs like a lightweight drone and requires it to be thrown away when it doesn't work or the hour to fix it. Solar will get there, and we will all know when this happens.}

That is my coke to you today.  Making your decisions, life changing happy decisions.


Let's pray together about the financial impacts 
of these 3 storm systems 
in 
Walker, Montgomery and
Harris Counties. 





Abba, Father,

Abba, Father,

The aftermath winds are blowing rain,
to cool Houston off. 
Thank God!

God Bless Oregon, Idaho we heard worked out their water,
Texas with these weather disasters

Mankind doesn't even do 
perfectly to predict the wind.

Be merciful to us, O God, be merciful to us, 
for in You

Matthew 6: 9-13 ~ Deliver us from evil

 



As we recover from Hurricane Beryl, today our 2 garage doors were found open. And then, later, as Edward proceeded to back out of his bay, the garage door closed as his car made back up progress. Fortunately, the damage was contained. But we are concerned about the adventures of our garage doors. Tomorrow change out the doors and openers. Your prayers would be appreciated.

Went to my paint cabinet. The marine glue that has to be expressed hard from the tube, is spilled all over the cabinet. By itself?  And the binoculars met with no accident but the cap to see out of lens is pulled out and won't reconnect for the binoculars to work. Some evil entity is having a little fit of laughter and zeal.

Our Polaris pump was wrenched out of wack and was not functioning, not by itself. Then the wrench was missing. And another one, of the 2 we own, was found 2 hours later.

Habakkuk 2 ~ silent


Three days into Hurricane Beryl, is like being held in a time capsuuule 
All through the day, how the hours rush by, 
sit at home and watch the little tree branches diiiiie.

Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio is like being nowhere at all. 
All through the day how the hours rush by. 
You sit in the park and you watch the grass die!





Habakkuk 2




I will take my stand at my watchpost
    and station myself on the tower,
and look out 
to see what 
He will say to me,
    and 
what I will answer 
concerning my complaint.


2 And the Lord answered me:

“Write the vision;
    make it plain on tablets,
    so he may run who reads it.
3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time;
    it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it


Houston has some very unexpected and, determined as terrible, weather. In just a few weeks.

Waiting aftermath, is as much fun as sitting in a house without an air conditioner, paying for an expensive air conditioner, upset in many directions, with small and overheated, children.  And parental concerns over pet and child health in the heat.  Seeing your yard look worse than ever. Making adjustments while concerned about all the events. Enduring a possible water loss. Remembering other similar events in life. Feeling bogged. Overwhelmed. Droopy.

Yes, the Scripture title is all of Habakkuk 2, yet you see only the 3 verses.

People who have endured a Hurricane,
have not only had their barometric pressure all shoook up,
but their internal lava lamp has quaked, rattled and rolled. 
This is life and are the stages of grief. 

We will climb this. Overcome. Find our Joy.

Begin:
You have euphoria to have survived! 
And nothing looks greener than survival.  The Hurricane Storm passed!  

Then you have, possibly, electricity and television. You have news of the events surrounding you. It will not be good news. Seeing helicopters saving people from drowning situations. People who are elderly and need shelters with transportation. Vast numbers will be told about electrical outages and information outages. Calls to 911. Flood photos. Damage photos. Just plain human suffering.  You will experience sorrow. And ask The Lord why.

Gratitude will guiltily arrive next. Having gratitude to have Survival and eyesight. Hearing. Health. Loved ones. Pets. And probably a roof. 

That night, there will be noise. A generator nearby.  And you will experience the sleeplessness of having your lava lamp quaked, rattle and roll. Then you will decide you are very uncomfortable. And now not happy. People are not happy. You have reached the waiting phase.

Day two. The green debris is now looking dead and much more sorrowful. Your phone, information and electricity are affected, and you feel the effects. Next. The Sort Phase. How Is Your Life. Do you feel like you have reached the Blessed Mountain? In the Exodus, Deuteronomy 27 and Joshua 8 teach us Mount Gerizim is the Mount of Blessings and Mt Ebal is the Mount of Curses.  And how do you feel about being braggy about being safe or with a generator?  Or will you look to everything you could blame for anything to tell the people around you, life is trouble.  Gather a crowd to complain.

Warmth. Very warm. Uncomfortable with each breath.

Will you draw every negative feeling about the heat, the utility of electric and water? 
Will you offer up the government for not spending a lot of money on drainage and river and street digging? 
Will your words tell your family who is negligent and overly something sassy or something, lifting and guiding or making hopes and hearts droop. 

Or solutions, walks, outings and any solution possible. 

Or, like me, will you be just irritable and then decide you have been irritable.  Yeah.

And why. 
The most important part of the last 3 paragraphs is this:  

If we overlook our blessings, they will pass by. Pass on. 

You have people who are old to call and see and go to. You have them. You have children, you will help. Not only that, but you feed your soul, remembering what you are truly grateful for. You decide to do all you can to make this transition time a time that will not beat you down. The more determined we are to stay on Mount Gerizim, the more we will be on Mount Gerizim.

What Mt Ebal will do for you; you are not blessed. You have been taken advantage of. Others are already getting help. In fact, lazy people are sitting around waiting to collect a paycheck, and you are at the last of their line. No one is worried about you. Life sucks. It is difficult to even want to pick up the garbage. Because it is all so tiresome. And I hear you. As we age, we have less energy. Moses didn't even feel blessed at age 79.  Nor Sarah. God showed up for Gideon when he was having 3 Mount of Ebal moments. What was Gideon saying? OH LORD, I am part of a failing nation. I am in the worst of the ratios. And I am the least of my clan and neighborhood. Why can't I have lived in the days of Glory?  Because I am a subspecies.  AND THE LORD ANSWERED. Be brave. Be hopeful. Listen to GOD. 

He Did. He Does. He Will. GOD.

Gideon didn't exactly leap to the chance. 
He wanted more of God's Conversation and His Works. He didn't really want to do the work God gave him. And a little, by a little. More conviction and confidence grew. The work God gave began to get done. Faith was moving. 

Gideon looked around to decide how to end the cycle. Small steps were taken. Even if it is a window screen. Gideon walked around and went to public places. Water was considered. How to was considered. God began to move and help. Jesus Christ healed, and He said things like, go to the Pool of Siloam. Sent. Go to being sent. Go see ... Pick up your.... Help your fellow man. Use your gifts. Have Hope. Reach out. Offer to help one another.  Gideon... began to feel grateful for those around him! 




Find your Gratitude.
Be part of Heaven on earth.
See Heaven on earth.
Do Heaven on earth.
In His Good Will.

How will this arrive at your door?

Houston had 127 mph wind in June. Unexplained, not from the ocean, 127 mph winds a month ago. And within a week, the people who had seen the grid collapse, literally. Those with high voltage power cables and towers looked like a bomb had gone off, they had electricity within a week.  And when we had historic flooding, people had help.  And again, with time and effort, we will recover.  In neighborhoods, in communities, in Churches, in cities, states, nationally and worldwide. From within, The Holy Spirit. Hope. Faith. Love.


Peace is flowing like a River.
Flowing out to you and me.
Flowing out to set the prisoners free.

Love is flowing like a River.
Flowing out to you and me.
Flowing out to set the prisoners free.

Lord Jesus.


2 And the Lord answered me:

“Write the vision;
    make it plain on tablets,
    so he may run who reads it.
3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time;
    it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, 
wait for it;
    it will surely come; 
it will not delay.

4 “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,
    but
The righteous shall
 live
 by his faith.

5 “Moreover, wine is a traitor,
    an arrogant man who is never at rest.
His greed is as wide as Sheol;
    like death 
he has never enough.
He gathers for himself all nations
    and collects as his own all peoples.”

6 Shall not all these take up their taunt against him, 
with scoffing and riddles for him, 
and say,

“Woe to him who heaps up what is not his own—
    for how long?—
    and loads himself with pledges!”
7 Will not your debtors suddenly arise,
    and those awake who will make you tremble?
    Then you will be spoil for them.
8 Because you have plundered many nations,
    all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you,
for the blood of man and violence to the earth,
    to cities and all who dwell in them.

9 “Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house,
    to set his nest on high,
    to be safe from the reach of harm!
10 You have devised shame for your house
    by cutting off many peoples;
    you have forfeited your life.
11 For the stone will cry out from the wall,
    and the beam from the woodwork respond.

12 “Woe to him who builds a town with blood
    and founds a city on iniquity!
13 Behold, is it not from the Lord of Hosts
    that peoples labor merely for fire,
    and nations weary themselves for nothing?







 For the earth will be filled
    with the knowledge 
of the Glory of the Lord

    as the waters cover the sea.

15 “Woe to him who makes his neighbors drink—
    you pour out your wrath and make them drunk,
    in order to gaze at their nakedness!
16 You will have your fill of shame instead of glory.
    Drink, yourself, and show your uncircumcision!
The cup in the Lord's right hand
    will come around to you,
    and utter shame will come upon your glory!
17 The violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,
    as will the destruction of the beasts that terrified them,
for the blood of man and violence to the earth,
    to cities and all who dwell in them.

18 “What profit is an idol
    when its maker has shaped it,
    a metal image, a teacher of lies?
For its maker trusts in his own creation
    when he makes speechless idols!
19 Woe to him who says to a wooden thing, Awake;
    to a silent stone, Arise!
Can this teach?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
    and there is no breath at all in it.


But 
The Lord is in His Holy Temple;
    let all the earth
 keep silence 
before Him.”

Today



 Hurricane Beryl Category, 90 mph gusts, 10 inches of rain, wanted a good look at Houston and Montgomery County. We saw the eye of the Hurricane. A first for us. Of the many trees that leaned over and fell over, few hit houses. Roads were the target. The Lord our God, merciful Lord.

Most are without electricity, but utility texts, when the phone works, say perhaps….Today!!!


Our Scripture today


THE MERCY OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER 


Our Father, You are upholding the Universe.

Hallowed be the Name of Jesus, Lamb of God

Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Good and Perfect Will

Be done on earth, as in Heaven.


Give us today, this Day

Our Daily Living Bread, Jesus.


Forgive us our flaws, weaknesses and sin.

As we forgive those who trespass against us.


Lead us far away from temptation 

And Deliver us from evil,


In Jesus, we see Your Kingdom, Power and Glory.


Alleluia in Jesus Christ!

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha.

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. <><
