Job 26:7 ~ He stretches

Job 26:7 

He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing.

Yesterday the Post was about seeing the Glory of God seen in clouds. Many, many Scriptures support this. 

Psalm 57:10 

 For your steadfast love is great to the heavens 

your faithfulness to the clouds.

 Nahum 1:3 

The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

 Matthew 26:64 

Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

When we think of Good News, we think of bright sunny days, with gentle breezes to love. Not clouds. 

  

And if we think of Jesus knowing all the Universe's Heavenly Host and calling them by name, we look at the Scripture Today and see our bright blue sky is earth, hangin' on - - - nothing. 

Faith suddenly is called upon. And we think of Heaven and our memories alive and realize, our brains aren't going to be living. Suddenly, the soul seems more mysterious. What does a soul do for us. 

 Do you know the balancings of the clouds, 

the wondrous works of Him Who is perfect in knowledge 

Proverbs 16:15 

 In the Light 

of a King's face 

there is Life, 

and His favor is like the clouds that bring the spring rain.

Romans 10:17

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Abba, Father

Dwell in us every Day. Give us the Day.

Your Son, Jesus, prays for us in John 17.

The Holy Spirit prays for us in Colossians 1

Amen.

Psalm 107

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,

for his steadfast love endures forever!

2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,

whom He has redeemed from trouble

Psalm 95 ~ Thanksgiving

Psalm 95

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;

    let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!

2 Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving;

    let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise!

3 For the Lord is a great God,

    and a great King above all gods.

4 In His hand are the depths of the earth;

    the heights of the mountains are His also.

5 The sea is His, for He made it,

    and His hands formed the dry land.

6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;

    let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!

7 For he is our God,

    and we are the people of his pasture,

    and the sheep of His hand.

Today, if you hear His voice,

do not harden your hearts 

As at Meribah,

    as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,

9 when your fathers put me to the test

    and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.

10 For forty years I loathed that generation

    and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,

    and they have not known my ways.”

11 Therefore I swore in my wrath,

    “They shall not enter my rest.”

Genesis 9:13-15

I have set My Bow in the cloud,

 and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

 When I bring clouds over the earth and the Bow is seen in the clouds,

 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you

 and every living creature 

of all flesh.

 And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy 

all flesh.

Psalm 97

1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice;

let the many coastlands be glad!

2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around Him;

righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

3 Fire goes before him

and burns up his adversaries all around.

4 His lightnings light up the world;

the earth sees and trembles.

5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,

before the Lord of all the earth.

6 The Heavens proclaim His righteousness,

and all the peoples see His glory.

And like Psalm 95, Isaiah telling of Heaven

Isaiah 14 

‘I will ascend to heaven;

above the stars of God

    I will set my throne on high;

I will sit on the mount of assembly

    in the far reaches of the north;

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;

    I will make myself like the Most High.’

Song by Elliott Hodges

1 Thessalonians 4:17

Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together 

with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air,

 and so we will always be with the Lord.

Isaiah 45:7-9

I form light and create darkness;

    I make well-being and create calamity;

    I am the Lord, who does all these things.

8 “Shower, O heavens, from above,

    and let the clouds rain down righteousness;

let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit;

    let the earth cause them both to sprout;

   

 I the Lord have created it.

9 “Woe to him who strives with him who formed him,

    a pot among earthen pots!

Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’

    or ‘Your work has no handles’?

Jeremiah 4

13 Behold, He comes up like clouds;

    His chariots like the whirlwind;

His horses are swifter than eagles—

Abba, Father, 

Our Father who art in Heaven

Dwell in us

Hallowed by Thy Name

You have given us

the Name of Jesus covering us.

We pray in the Highest Name of Jesus.

Thy Kingdom Come

Thy Will be Done

On earth,

as it is in Heaven.

Blessed to pray to

see, to be and to live

Heaven on earth.

Give us this Day!

Our Daily Bread.

Teach us Your Will,

Your Word and Encourage

us in You.

Forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those

you trespass

against us.

Bless us to be in Your Grace

and not sinned against,

merely trespass.

Lead us not into temptation.

Deliver us from evil.

We ask in the Name of Jesus.

For Thine is 

The Kingdom,

The Power

and

The Glory.

We pray in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Son of God, Messiah. Thank You.

Amen.

Isaiah 65:24 ~ Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear.

Isaiah 65:24

Before they call I will answer; 

while they are yet speaking I will hear.

We live in a time we really want to see answered prayer. And, yes, Covid is still active. But the population of the USA says 2/3rd's are closer to God and read Scripture more than before.

Life experiences tell us Christians know God answers their prayers. Today, I had this occur to me. Yesterday's Post was titled,  "Lifted Up".

Today, this week, has been, "remember how many years ago" week:

My mother had her 88th Birthday. Let's see, Edward and I have been married 35 years, we married when I was 22 years old and our niece Brooke was born the next year, she is 34. She married in 2011, she and Brad have been married ten years, and now they are having their first child. Making this, Susan and Brad's first grandchild!

My mother and mother-in-law are both 30 years apart from me, born in 1933, so this is the day of my mother's 88th birthday. We moved her from her house of 47 years. And travel from our house of 20 years once and twice a week for six months to visit both my mother and Edward's mother.

Mother had a Chocolate Mouse Birthday Cake, and I was hurrying outside her house.

I fell really hard in the front yard and landed on the sidewalk. I landed on my hand and knee, my hand had part of my knee on my hand.  I cried like a child, loudly and sobbing, it hurt so badly. I couldn't even move off from the terrible position. The fall was so swift, I wasn't aware I was falling. 

When I finally felt I could move, my hand, my whole left hand, didn't move. It was utterly, it was utterly broken. The fingers were splayed apart. My hand, I couldn't get it to move curl or straight, it just was limp. Finally, my hand would move, but not my fingers. And I knew that I'd have to go to the ER until Friday. Then I realized my knee hurt. Edward had arrived and I was sobbing loudly, unable to stop.

15 minutes later, I could stand up and sob, still like a child. By the time I could stand up, my hand worked perfectly and has a small scrape. Pebbles dotted my palm where my had had landed on the sidewalk. I know my hand didn't work and looked frozen and useless.

Within 30 minutes, we were traveling home. Moving briskly down the interstate. And as we drove home, we saw a huge rainbow.  This was a mere tens of minutes later, from the accident, and I had amazingly recovered from. But I just couldn't look for the whole Rainbow. I was too jarred and pained to twist, to look for the whole rainbow by Downtown Dallas about 8 pm.

Genesis 9:12-17 LIFE

12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” 17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

I said to the Lord, Yes Jesus, Life! I prayed if you want me to see the whole Rainbow, I know you healed my hand. And then there was a shadow, a double Rainbow. And I said, "GOOD WITH ME!

THANK YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST!"

And then the whole Rainbow appeared bottom to top the beginning and the end.

As I sat to write the Post, I just realized the Post is, "Lifted Up". Jesus the Lord is GOOD!

Abba, Father,

Dwell in us.

With the Light of Jesus Christ,

help us to be a joy for You to know us.

We want to seek You first.

And end well.

We earnestly seek this blessing for those we Love

and give You thanks for the people You have given us.

So many prayers, You uphold the Universe by Your Word.

And we pray diligently, sometimes for years like

Grandmother Anita for her beloved son, Jimmy.

And 7 decades of Prayer became Joy.

Today, I cried like a small child for the hurt felt in an accident.

And suddenly, before I could even ask, in the shock, hurt and surprise,

I didn't even pray yet, just cried.

Your Love and Mercy are overwhelming.

Thank You.

Bless our State,

we are experiencing so many new Covid cases in Texas and surrounding Houston.

The vaccinated are unharmed, mostly.

We pray for Haiti and Afghanistan.

For our Nation to rebuild and heal, health, hearts and employment to 

Your Glory, Jesus Christ.

We ask Your Help for all the world.

And rest all our daily concerns

in Your Capable Hands and Love.

Grace upon Grace.

Thank You, Jesus. Amen.

Psalm 47 ~ God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of the Trumpet

There are clouds in Heaven.

Matthew 26:64
Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Psalm 47

1 Clap your hands, all peoples!

Shout to God with loud songs of joy!

2 For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared, a great king over all the earth.

3 He subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

4 He chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah

5 God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm!

God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.

The princes of the peoples gather as the people of the God of Abraham.

For the shields of the earth belong to God; he is highly exalted!

Nahum 1:3
The clouds are the dust of his feet.

Exodus 24:15-18
Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. The glory of the Lord dwelt on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And on the seventh day, he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel. Moses entered the cloud and went up on the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

Daniel 7:13
I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.

Revelation 14:14-20
Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head

We are all so familiar with shields of the earth. The Shields belonging to God are far different.

God wouldn't just be a physical shield. God is a mental shield. Father God is a seed planter and physical shield of the future. God is a shield provider over the past. God brings wisdom allowing us compassion. God is a Mercy giver when He provides His Shield. God's Shield is a provision of His Good Will. His Hope and His Future. His Way, Truth and Life.

And why would God do this? Jesus works to be our mediator between God and man. This is His Love.

God has Loud Songs of Joy. This is Father work!!! He heralds and Trumpets His Good News.





Abba,

Bless us today as we remember Your Joy as our Father.

When the trumpet sounds a long blast, we shall come up to the mountain!

Jesus climbed a mountain after feeding the Multitude at the Sea of Galilee. We hope to climb mountains with Jesus and the people You have given us. Jesus could see the willingness of His Father to allow Him to walk upon the waters. And Jesus came down from the mountain at the Sea of Galilee to walk upon the waters. We would go with Him, with His help. The Father's Work is marvelous. The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes!!!

And we shall all be changed by God's Love for us. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.

Abba,
You told Jesus we could expect to see more Heaven on earth. New headlines would not suggest this, but perhaps in our homes and families. Where we carry the Holy Spirit in us each day, we will see Your Good News. And as we pray faithfully. We will indeed see more Heaven on Earth.

In ourselves, in the ones we Love. The way we carry our cares. Our hope in You. In the people You have given us. And we shall pray in expectation - living in all good hope. To our nation and like Jesus, beyond all borders. Our Jesus. Amen.

Psalm 18:1-20 ~ Out of the brightness of His presence clouds advanced

Psalm 18:1-20

1 I love you, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

3 I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.

4 The cords of death entangled me;
the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

5 The cords of the grave coiled around me;
the snares of death confronted me.

6 In my distress I called to the LORD;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears.

7 The earth trembled and quaked,
and the foundations of the mountains shook;
they trembled because he was angry.

8 Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire came from his mouth,
burning coals blazed out of it.

9 He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds were under his feet.

10 He mounted the cherubim and flew;
he soared on the wings of the wind.

11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
the dark rain clouds of the sky.

12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
with hailstones and bolts of lightning.

13 The LORD thundered from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.

14 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemies ,
great bolts of lightning and routed them.

15 The valleys of the sea were exposed
and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke, O LORD,
at the blast of breath from your nostrils.

16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he drew me out of deep waters.

17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.

18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the LORD was my support.

19 He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.

20 The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

This Psalm of David is rejoicing, with an overflowing heart, in the mercy of God. 

Psalm 18 remembers the deliverance of the Children of Israel. Written 1,000 years before Jesus’ death, verses 8 to 14, describe the earthquake & events of Good Friday, after Jesus forgave us and dismissed His Spirit. 

Because Jesus gave us His Holy Spirit, the Psalm is about us, individually. In our day of trouble, we call out to Him and He saves us forever.



John 5:17
Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working."
