Luke 1:76-79 ~ the tender Mercy of our God

 




To picture the Sea of Galilee, so filled with Jesus moving from shore to shore healing and bringing the wonder of God Himself. God would choose to live Grace upon Grace with the Sheep. Bleating and unsure. 

Jesus is Alive.



During Covid lockdowns: "We are fine, yes, of course we are fine. But maybe not a little, ok, fine." 

I will borrow from Pope John Paul II, 
"We are the Easter People and Alleluia is our song."


And we who love the Lord, will get through the difficulties, challenges and concerns because of Love.










Luke 1:76-79



  
You will go before the Lord 
to prepare His ways,
to give knowledge of salvation 
to His people
    in the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender Mercy of our God

  Whereby the sunrise shall visit us 
from on high
 to give Light 
to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
    to guide our feet into the way of 
peace.





Abba, Father,

Our heart hears the call from You.

And we see in Scripture 
the mercy of the merciful

Luke 17:17-19

Then Jesus answered, 
“Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 
Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 

And He said to him, 
“Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”

Help us to live each day
putting You first.
As the Name of Jesus covers us
and the Holy Spirit dwells in us.


We pray diligently
and with our hearts

We thank You, Father,
that fires
will cause new blooms.
And pray Your Mercy
on the people,
animals, homes
and businesses.


We ask healing
of Your Good Creation
The fullness of the earth is Yours.
The healing of those we pray for
in our heart and soul.

The Healing
of the Nation.

Wholeness
Holy.
Goodness.

Dwell in us, Father,
Dwell fully in those we love,
Help us to seek You first
and we will finish well in Jesus Christ.



Thank You.

Our God is working. His Son, 
Jesus is working.
Amen.

Psalm 30 ~ His Favor is for a Lifetime





 



Psalm 30





A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.


I will extol You, O Lord, for You have drawn me up
and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried to You for help,
and You have healed me.
3 O Lord, You have brought up my soul from Sheol;
You restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.


4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you His saints,
and give thanks to His Holy Name

5 For His anger is but for a moment,

and 
His favor is for a Lifetime.

Weeping may tarry for the night,

but joy comes with the morning.

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I shall never be moved.”

7 By Your favor, O Lord,
You made my mountain stand strong;
You hid Your face;
I was dismayed.

8 To You, O Lord, I cry,
and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
9 “What profit is there in my death,
if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You?
Will it tell of Your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!
O Lord, be my helper!”

11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
12 that my glory may sing Your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever!











Psalm 30
A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the Temple.
I will extol you, O Lord, for You have drawn me up


We want to find out how we can have gratitude.  Everyone has the wobbles sometime. Even if we can look like concrete pillars.  The truth is, we all have a few days that are better and then a few days looking bleak to us. 

I was looking over a February Post of 2014. 
An acquaintance from my last Church was in a Facebook Group for Moms she recommended.  We joined.  The Group promised open hearts and open minds for moms. This friend is named Lauren for this story. Lauren was hit by someone running a red light, her larger vehicle turned over and was destroyed. She had carpool, with her children and a child's friend with them. The car didn't roll just once. The Post showed the Police, the flattened car and Lauren told the group she had never been more glad to be alive, thank God they survived.  The group went ape and told her others died, in other accidents, and she had hurt and preached about survival and had the gall to Thank God. It went just badly offff. And the group told her to apologize for preaching. She really hadn't. And then the next few days she was removed from the group.

The result was our group left. They never even knew we were a group.



Grateful.

I'm grateful we are all more aware of the Gratitude to be Alive.  

I'm grateful that if this woman said her child survived going to the Hospital with Covid, Thank God, no one would tell her, or write her, to shut up. We have all lost people we never dreamed we would see pass on so early in life.  2/3 rds of Americans write they have better and more important ways to live life.

This is so essential and important to see compassion for the soul we all have.


We see violence in airplanes. 2023 saw the airplane violent go to the FBI and violence went down.



Airline stock is down. Travel is down, but travel nearby is up.

Beauty is being appreciated.  Family is more appreciated. More sorting things out has happened.


Abba, Father,

You gave us Jesus Christ
to save the world in Jesus Christ.

Dwell in us.
Help us to be the Delight of Your Heart.
Dwell in those we Love.
Help us to seek You first.
And with You, we will finish well.

May the Lord Bless us and Keep us
and
Make His Face to Shine upon us
be gracious to us.

May the Lord God 
Lift His Countenance upon us
and smile
give us peace,
put Your Name, Highest Name Jesus
upon us Your Beloved
and we will
be Blessed.

Amen in Jesus Christ.



Abba, Father,

In Jesus Christ, we will never give up.

Jesus the God of ALL.
Jesus, we pray Life and healing
Joy and Love in all of us.

Jesus, God of Encouragement.
Jesus, Hope and Future.
Jesus the Lord
saves the world
Amen.

Romans 8:28 ~ work together for good






John 1:5

The Light shines in the darkness
and the darkness
has not overcome it

Houston in the last few weeks: a historic flood from 3 counties above the Gulf of Mexico, 127 mph winds like a hurricane, generated from inland. Unusual. Then Hurricane Beryl's eye traveled directly through Houston.  This week, we may have a Tropical Storm, but we are praying! 

Perhaps it is the weather, but the climate worldwide wants
The Light not to be overcome by darkness. 





We, as the Body of Christ, want to know the Body is nourished all over the world. We want to hear Good News of the Body of Jesus Christ.

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


I was late hearing about the Olympic opening. The outrage had already reached a crescendo. So much so the viewing was easy of the photo and the video needn't be watched. Beautiful Paris is a city of dichotomy.  A Republic. A Civil War of unbelievable violence. A policy of violent foreigners ejected swiftly and, not necessarily asked, the destination of choice. Wonderful beauty and a country of rural areas with great loyalty. Paris has huge, vast suburbs with suburbanites. The city is filled with those who are diverse, faithful and unique.




If we were to decide Easter is a lovely time to visit Paris, we might be surprised. Just as Paris endeared the world, again, when the crisis fire occurred in Notre Dame, Easter is sacred. Paris closes. A weekend with family. A good restaurant, or any restaurant, will be closed. Museums and stores will be closed.

Paris closes for Easter Weekend. The Restaurants and shops close. And here is the schedule for
2020






Usually, this is Notre Dame:




Easter 2019




The Joy of the Belief. Faith.




Joy of the Belief. Faith.




Paris did not forget Easter of 2019, Saint Eustache held Paris closely.








Last Supper, painted by 
Vasely Polenov
The Russians had enormous Gospel painters
A Revival of the Arts
Just as the Russian Revolution was heating up to critical


Yes, the opening of the Olympics was supposed to shock and awe to bring in viewers.
This might well have the opposite effect.

We cannot put a label on the French or even the Parisian. How would we know? A Biblical verse. The Dichotomy exists on all of us. Saint Paul to everyone. We can point to this verse:



Romans 7:15-24 

For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. 17 So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 

20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, 23 but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?


Last Supper by Nicholas Ge, Russian








To complete the circle



John 1:5

The Light shines in the darkness
and the darkness
has not overcome it


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


Wow. Everyone has had the chance to speak up. And Everyone Did!!!


1 Corinthians 16:13 
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.


1 Corinthians 15:58 
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, 
always abounding 
in the work of the Lord, 
knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.


Romans 12:2 
Do not be conformed to this world, 
but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, 
that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, 
what is good and acceptable and perfect.


1 Peter 5:9 
Resist him, firm in your faith, 
knowing that the same kinds 
of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood 
throughout the world.

2 Thessalonians 2:15
So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions
that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter.

James 1:12 
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, 
for when he has stood the test 
he will receive the crown of life, 
which God has promised to those who love Him.

Philippians 4:1
Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for,
 my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, 
my beloved.

Galatians 5:1 
For freedom Christ has set us free; 
stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

Joshua 1:9 
Have I not commanded you? 
Be strong and courageous. 
Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, 
for the Lord your God is with you 
wherever you go.






Abba, Father,

Our heart hears the call from You.

We ask healing
of Your Good Creation
The fullness of the earth is Yours.
The healing of those we pray for
in our heart and soul.

The safety of our nation,
the safety of our homes
and loved ones,
the wellness of the culture.

Dwell in us, Father,
Dwell fully in those we love,
Help us to seek You first
and we will finish well in Jesus Christ.


Our God. His Son, 
Jesus Christ.
Amen.

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

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. 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. <><
