Zechariah 2 ~ Glory within





 






Zechariah 2




And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand! Then I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length."


And behold, the angel who talked with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him, and said to him, "Run, say to that young man, `Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle in it. 

For I will
 be to her a wall of fire round about, 

says the LORD, 

and 
I will be the Glory within her.'"

Go! Go! Flee from the land of the north,
 says the LORD; 
for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the Heavens, 
says the LORD.

Go! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon. 

For thus said the LORD of Hosts, after His Glory Sent me to the nations who plundered you, for He who touches you touches the Apple of His Eye: 

"Behold, I Will shake My Hand over them, 
and 
they shall become plunder for those who served them. 
Then you will know that 
The LORD of Hosts 
has sent me.

Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; 
for lo, I come 
and 
I will dwell in the midst of you, 

says the LORD. 

And many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, 
and 
shall be my people; 
and 
I will dwell in the midst of you, 
and 
you shall know 
that 
The LORD of Hosts 
has Sent me to you.

And the LORD will inherit Judah 
as His portion in the Holy Land, 
and will again choose Jerusalem." 

Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; 
for He
 has roused 
Himself 
from 
His Holy Dwelling.





Oh come all you faithful, the Lord comes to live and dwell among us.



Samuel 2 

There is none holy like the Lord: 
 for there is none besides you; 
 there is no rock like our God. 

3 Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed. 

4 The bows of the mighty are broken, 
 but the feeble bind on strength. 

5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, 
 but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger.

 The barren has borne seven, 
 but she who has many children is forlorn. 

6 The Lord kills and brings to Life; 
 He brings down to Sheol and raises up. 

7 The Lord makes poor and makes rich; 
 He brings low 
and 
He exalts. 

8 He raises up the poor from the dust; 
 He lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes 
 and 
inherit a seat of honor. 

For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, 

 and on them He has set the world.



Psalm 75

We give Thanks to You, O God; 
 we give Thanks, 
for 
Your Name is near. 

We recount Your wondrous Deeds. 

 2  At the set time that I appoint
 I will judge with equity. 
3 When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants, 
 it is 
I Who keep steady its pillars. 
 
Selah



Thanksgiving is being debunked. 

I want to recall with you something almost all of us saw on our flatscreens, 2019. 
Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame. Shame.  Shame being called.  And it is a tool. Shame. 

And usually, those bringing the charge should bear the charge and have this. 

Debunking Thanksgiving is bringing the charge of Shame. 

Like upon Columbus. Who spent years in prison because King Ferdinand did not consider Columbus to be a worthy individual to have invested in. Maybe a fraudster. The bringing home the loot, was not considered ... sufficient. 

And let's consider the citizens of today's Florida being invaded due to plague.  I know I have cousins who felt invaded from the events of Hurricane Katrina redistricting many areas of Louisiana, never to be the same again.





Consider a tractor, clearing former farmland to make a suburban tract of housing. 
1982 Titusville, Florida. 

When work began on building a road across the pond in a new housing development, Windover Farms. A backhoe operator noticed several skulls in the bucket of his machine.

The sheriff and medical examiner determined that the burials were not recent. The local forensic expert originally believed he was examining modern Caucasian remains. Then they called in Florida State University.

8,000 years ago, this part of Florida was part of the ocean. 7,000 years ago, a total of 168 people lived and were buried in what is today Titusville, Florida. Preserved and buried in the peat moss, making the pond peaceful.  The children were lovingly buried with things of beauty and love. High value was placed on the children.  7,000 year-old woven fabric for graves.  DNA was able to be obtained in the brains.  Not what we refer to as Native Americans. In fact, Asian. And a family of generations was buried in the cemetery for over 100 years. 

Sunrise
Sunset

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older
When did they?

When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he get to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday
When they were small?

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze


Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
Now they must learn from one another
Day by day

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears


Giving Thanks
the only gift
we 
have the ability
to give
to
God,

Thanksgiving is the only
gift
we can sincerely bring
to God,
He has not first given us.

Giving Thanks. 


Nehemiah 8:10–12 

Then he said to them, “Go your way. 
Eat the fat and drink sweet wine 
and 
send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, 
for this day 
is holy to our Lord. 

And do not be grieved, 
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

 11 So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, 
“Be quiet, for this day is holy; do not be grieved.” 

12 And all the people went their way to 
eat and drink 
and to send portions 
and to make great rejoicing, 
because they had understood the words that were 
declared to them.














Father God promises us, again, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. 

He gives us villages without walls, where multitudes dwell. The fullness of the earth is also the Lord's. He sent His Holy Spirit and He dwells in the midst of us. We are the apple of His Eye, He listens to us and our deepest desires. 

The Lord does not just dwell in heaven, but in us, in the Light of mankind and Light of the earth, where His Holy Spirit dwells.




 



Abba, Father,

We ask Jesus Christ may dwell in our hearts 
through 
faith

We ask to be being rooted and grounded in love
and 
have strength to comprehend with all 
what is the breadth and length and height and depth
of Your Love.

To know 
the love of Christ 
surpassing all the books ever written 
fully know
We are filled with all the fullness of God

Your Promises,
Father,
Are Sure

Dwell in us, please, Father.
Dwell in those we Love.
Help us to seek You first.
In Jesus Christ, we will finish well.

To be
more Heaven today
to see more Heaven today
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
on earth
as it is
in Heaven. 


And the June birth
of our
first Grandchild.
Jesus Christ, please,
Your blessings of
Health, Peace,
Wisdom
and Prosperity
for His Glory!


In Jesus Christ
is
Our 
Love, Joy and Hope.

We pray victory
for the officials
who want
prosperity
and Jesus
for
ALL.

ALLELUIA
AND
AMEN IN JESUS CHRIST











In Jesus Christ,
we live and move and
have our being.

Psalm 89:1-18 ~ Your Faithfulness all around





Psalm 89:1-18


 


I will sing of the steadfast Love of the Lord forever;
 with my mouth 
I will make known Your Faithfulness 
to all generations.

2 For I said, “Steadfast Love will be built up forever;
 in the Heavens 
You will establish Your Faithfulness.”

3 You have said, “I have made a covenant with My Chosen One;
 I have sworn to David 
my servant:

 ‘I will establish your offspring forever,
   and 
build your throne for all generations.’” 
Selah

Let the Heavens praise your wonders, O Lord,
    Your faithfulness 
in the assembly of the Holy Ones!

For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord?

 Who among the Heavenly Beings is like the Lord,

 God 
greatly to be feared 
in the Council of the Holy Ones,
    and 
awesome above all who are around Him?


8 O Lord God of Hosts,
 who is mighty as you are, O Lord,
    with 
Your Faithfulness all around You?



You rule the raging of the sea;
    when
 its waves rise,  You still them.








You crushed Rahab like a carcass;
 You scattered Your enemies with Your Mighty Arm.

The Heavens 
are Yours; 
the earth also is Yours;
 the world and all that is in it, 
You have founded them.


The north and the south, 
You have created them;
 Tabor and Hermon joyously praise Your Name.



You have a Mighty Arm;
Strong is Your Hand, 
High Your Right Hand.


Righteousness and Justice are the foundation of Your Throne;
 Steadfast Love and Faithfulness 
go before You.


Blessed are the people who know the festal shout,
 who walk, O Lord, in the Light of Your Face,
who exult in Your Name 
all the day
    
And in Your Righteousness 
are exalted.

For You are the Glory 
of their strength;
   by Your Favor our horn is exalted.


For our shield belongs to the Lord,
 Our King to the Holy One of Israel.










1 Corinthians 8:6

Yet for us there is 
one God, 
the Father, 
from Whom are all things 
and 
for Whom we exist, 
and 
one Lord, Jesus Christ, 
through 
Whom are all things
 and 
through 
Whom we exist.




How can the Lord tell us we exist for Him? 

Regardless of the high or low stations in life, we will at times become tired of our blessings and wonder the real meaning of life.  And in those days, we want to know we have created a path others would want themselves. A path of love, joy, meaningful life God calls abundant life. 

If we work for the Lord in our inner conversations, if we want to do well to please the Lord, we have never worked in vain. Our lives are rich and meaningful. And in this Joy of the Lord, we are established within our souls to our lives.  And in doing this, our minor blessings, our great blessings become Major and Fulfilling Blessings. 






Abba, Father,

We ask Jesus Christ may dwell in our hearts 
through 
faith

We ask to be being rooted and grounded in love
and 
have strength to comprehend with all 
what is the breadth and length and height and depth
of Your Love.

To know 
the love of Christ 
surpassing all the books ever written 
fully know
We are filled with all the fullness of God

Your Promises,
Father,
Are Sure

Dwell in us, please, Father.
Dwell in those we Love.
Help us to seek You first.
In Jesus Christ, we will finish well.

To be

Matthew 6:5-6 ~ Reward

 


Ethiopian
Walking Cross
about 4 or 6 inches

The idea
is
The Holy Spirit
always
with us.

Emmanuel.

Love
Protection
Hope
Good Choices 

These are carried in the pocket
or in the hand.
Daily.




Matthew 6:5-6




And when you pray, 
you must not be like the hypocrites. 

For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. 

Truly,
 I say to you, 
they have received their reward. 

But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father
 Who is in secret. 

And your Father 
Who sees in secret 
will reward you.








Not a God of Chaos. Orderly. 


Matthew 6:9-13

.
9 Pray then like this:

“Our Father in Heaven,
Hallowed be Your Name.

10 Your Kingdom come,
Your Will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.

11 Give us this day
 our daily bread,

12 and 
forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive our trespassers.

13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.




For Thine is the
Kingdom,
the Power
and the Glory.

Forever and ever.
Amen.


And upon asking God for His Light. His Holy Name, Jesus, Emmanuel, The Christ of God, Savior, Only Son of God.  

For the earth to be a reflection of God as His Good Creation. To long for God's Good Will.

 To do the tasks of our daily lives, knowing God provides and God is our Daily Living Bread.

 To be forgiven in God's Grace upon Grace.  To forgive those who annoy, sin, or trespass. Not to allow God's Holy Name to be fallen into irreverence, by accepting what God would not want for our lives. 

And in our choices, not to be swept away from God by circumstance, laziness, selfishness. Out of temptation.

And to be delivered from evil. To live boldly. As God's Child. 

For our God is Magnificent in His Kingdom Plans and Place. His Power. For His Glory Forever. Amen.



To Live God's Grace upon Grace.

Live peacefully as you can. Hope, Faith and Love.


Let Love be sincere and avoid hypocrisy.  What is noble, pure and good.  Live within God's Plan. In God we live, move and have our very being. 


And?


Hebrews 11:6 


Without faith 

it is impossible to please Him, 

for whoever 
would draw near to God
 must believe 
that 
He exists 
and that 
He rewards those who seek Him.



1 Corinthians 6

19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple 
of the Holy Spirit 
within you, 
Whom you have from God? 

You are not your own, 
20 for you were bought with a price. 

So glorify God in your body.





Abba, Father!

The Spirit of the Lord 
will
Rest on Him

The Spirit of wisdom 
The Spirit of understanding
The Spirit of counsel
The Spirit of Strength

The Spirit of knowledge
and
The Spirit giving fear of the Lord


We ask for the Holy Spirit
to dwell first in our lives,
and 
asking
 Your mercy and grace
upon us 
who ask
for Your Love and Favor
in Jesus Christ's
Holy Spirit.



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. 

Wholeness
Holy.
Goodness.


We PRAY
to
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
SON OF GOD
That this Congress
will NOT leave
the Hungry
and the Safety
of 
Americans
at the whim
of shouting pole cat
Politicians
with mouths full of Ugly.

Let this CONGRESS 
instead
HONOR
Americans

and HONOR
the Bravery of DOGE.

AMEN.

14 TRILLION Obama, Elite and Congress REASONS

your
Health has Care.

We Did Not Forget
That.



Lord Jesus Christ,

Worldwide Peace
Prosperity and
Peace.
Among the NATIONS
HE is Calling in
His Good earth
and the fulfillment thereof.

We will be
His Light
with
His Grace upon Grace
Help

And the June birth

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

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

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. <><
