Isaiah 43:1-13 ~ you are precious in My Eyes, and honored, and I Love You

1 Corinthians 3:11 
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.




Isaiah 43:1-13



1 Now this is what the LORD says--,
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.

3 For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
Cush and Seba in exchange for you.

4 Because you are precious in my eyes,
and honored, and I love you,
I give men in return for you,
peoples in exchange for your life.

5 Fear not, for I am with you;
I will bring your offspring from the east,
and from the west I will gather you.

6 I will say to the north, Give up,
and to the south, Do not withhold;
bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the end of the earth,
7 everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.”

8 Bring out the people who are blind, yet have eyes,
who are deaf, yet have ears!
9 All the nations gather together,
and the peoples assemble.
Who among them can declare this,
and show us the former things?
Let them bring their witnesses to prove them right,
and let them hear and say, It is true.

10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.

Before me no god was formed,
nor shall there be any after me.

11 I, I am the LORD,
and besides me there is no savior.
12 I declared and saved and proclaimed,
when there was no strange god among you;
and you are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and I am God.
13 Also henceforth I am he;
there is none who can deliver from my hand;
I work, and who can turn it back?”



Amazing Mercy of the LORD Most High. Life rolls on. God is like the Mississippi River. His purposes push us Up, water flowing to the original source. We are journeying. To our Father God. This is His Plan. A plan of God who Loves. A Plan of the Ancient of Days.

1 Peter 2:9
You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Deuteronomy 14:2
For you are a people holy to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

Malachi 3:17
"On the day when I act," says the LORD Almighty, "they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him."

Deuteronomy 28
8"The LORD will command the blessing upon you in your barns and in all that you put your hand to, and He will bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives you. 9"The LORD will establish you as a holy people to Himself, as He swore to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in His ways."

Psalm 102
12 You, O Lord, are enthroned forever;
you are remembered throughout all generations.
13 You will arise and have pity on Zion;
it is the time to favor her;
the appointed time has come.
14 For your servants hold her stones dear
and have pity on her dust.
15 Nations will fear the name of the Lord,
and all the kings of the earth will fear your glory.
16 For the Lord builds up Zion;
he appears in his glory

What has God called His Glory?

1 Timothy 3:16

Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:

He was manifested in the flesh,
vindicated by the Spirit,
seen by angels,
proclaimed among the nations,
believed on in the world,
taken up in glory.


Hear Oh Israel, The Lord Thy God is One.

He Proclaims His Glory.

Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Ephesians 2
God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ by grace you have been saved

Why would God do this for His People?

Isaiah 63:7
I will tell of the kindnesses of the LORD, the deeds for which he is to be praised, according to all the LORD has done for us-- yes, the many good things he has done for Israel, according to his compassion and many kindnesses


John 3
6"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him."

God's Glory is High

Ephesians 3:14-21

14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.


Father God, we have all fallen short of the Commandment You gave us when You opened Your arms as our willing sacrifice. Jesus has the purity of Love and Forgiveness. Father, You are without flaw or sin. We will continue to fail. You are the only One who is Good.

Let us hold ourselves to You, Father God, earnestly for Your mercy. Only You are God and only You Save. And today, we are the Easter People and Alleluia in Jesus is our only song. He continues His work and we press on to the Journey with You, Father God. We call upon the highest name You have given us. In Father God, we go forth. Always our Amen in Jesus as Lord.

Psalm 149 ~ For the Lord takes delight in his people!



Psalm 149


1 Praise the Lord.

Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.

2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the people of Zion be glad in their King.
3 Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music to him with timbrel and harp.

4 For the Lord takes delight in his people!
He crowns the humble with victory!

5 Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor
and sing for joy on their beds!

6 May the praise of God be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword in their hands,
7 to inflict vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,
8 to bind their kings with fetters,
their nobles with shackles of iron,
9 to carry out the sentence written against them—
this is the glory of all his faithful people.

Praise the Lord.











When the song of the angels is stilled.
When the star in the sky is gone.
When the kinds and princes are home.
When the shepherds are back with their flock.
The work of Christ(mas) begins:

The find the lost,
To heal the broken,
To feed the hungry,
To release the prisoner,
To rebuild the nations,
To bring peace among brothers,
To make music in the heart.

Alleluia! Unto us a child is born. ~Author Unknown







Psalm 150

1 Praise the Lord.

Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
4 praise him with timbrel and dancing,
praise him with the strings and pipe,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.

6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord.



But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy

Blessed are the merciful, they shall obtain mercy.


Rebuke is part of Scriptures - we have to be cautious with tender hearts. 

Well, why would the tone of Psalm 149 change radically?
We all get one choice to honor God and do His Plan.

To go our own way and do things in selfishness. And do His Plan. One Choice. The plan of God. Just without His Spirit to propel us. To believe the goodness of God love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness, with self-control.

Reading Psalm 149 causes the one absolute remembrance my oldest son graduated with Political Science - All Governments fall. Making the 2,000 years of Christian Church history an amazing work and wonder of God.

What provides the success of a government? Praise from His faithful people.
What is the need? Prayer. Hope. Faith. Expecting God to act in our lives.


God loves mercy from His beloved people.
Praising God
The Power of Jesus in prayer for our nation and the world. Our prayers:

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Romans 12:19
Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord

Abraham was known to be bold to the Lord for His Mercy. Let us read this Psalm as Abraham tussles. We know we see injustice in the news a lot. We know people facing injustice. Pray with verve!

We pray for God to provide Mercy. For just punishment to allow the Fruit of the Spirit to flourish. We pray world leaders spreading events not pleasing to a loving God will have God change and bind their heart for His noble purpose. Our God of Love will be praised for justice and his faithful people will see a Godly peace. Pray over the news. Why watch if you are not going to pray? Without prayer nothing is changed. So many men returning from war will tell you they could feel the prayer.

Remembering that Psalm 150 purposefully follows Psalm 149. Not letting our prayers become bogged down. Looking to see the Good.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

Father God, knowing Your storehouses are not empty. To remember Your willingness to heal. We lift up our hearts, souls, lives to You to direct. Father know all of our soul, body and will. Be our driving force in the Name of Jesus - draw us to You. In Jesus. Amen.

Mark 11:24 ~ believe that you have received



Mark 11:24
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours

We ask Father God, for Your will to be done in the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord. Thank You the blessings You have provided and the blessings our eyes have not beheld. Amen.








What God has done for us - broken Himself to give us blessings. Jesus chose to be our Savior, for us. We live having gratitude for what God lived out and died for us.

Luke 23:27
And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for him.

We are 2 millenniums past Jesus giving us all of God's promises and changing Heaven forever. And His atonement changes our lives forever. Today and to eternity.

How often I pictured Jesus dying like "Godspell" with just a few sympathizers. Here we read, the truth, a great multitude of people Mourned for Jesus. These are the people in the Book of Acts who filled the Temple. They are referred to as a multitude again.

Acts 2:6
And at this sound the multitude came together,
 and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language.

Acts 5:12 -15
Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon's Portico. 13 None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high esteem. 

14 And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.  

Joel 3:14
Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision!
For the day of the LORD is near,  in the valley of decision.



Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
  He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
  he refreshes my soul.

He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.


Our eyes will see this Glory.

John 20:29
Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."


Zephaniah 1:7
Be silent before the Sovereign LORD, for the day of the LORD is near. The LORD has prepared a sacrifice; he has consecrated those he has invited.

Luke 23:43
Jesus answered him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."


Romans 10:9
If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.



Thank You, Jesus Christ Our LORD.

Psalm 127:1-2 ~ The Lord Builds the House



Psalm 127:1-2

Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is in vain that you rise up early
and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil;
for he gives to his beloved sleep.


As a first born child to both grandmothers, I can understand this fully:

Hebrews 1:6-8

6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,
“Let all God's angels worship him.”

7 Of the angels he says,
“He makes his angels winds,
and his ministers a flame of fire.”

8 But of the Son he says!

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,

the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom!


We are all looking for Love, Strong Prayer and God's Holy Spirit in Wind.

Matthew 24:30-32
Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

We experienced strong prayer tonight at HopePointe. The Spirit of God. Recognizable for His millenniums.

2 Samuel 22:2
He said, “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my delivere"

David understood this in the Holy Spirit.

Psalm 121:1-8
A Song of Ascents.
I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand

Mary sang of this in the Spirit.

Luke 1:46-48
46 And Mary said,

“My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed"


We join the Company of Heaven when we magnify the Lord and exalt the Name of Jesus, Son of God.

Psalm 34:2-4
2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together!

4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.









 

Together we pray, Father God, our souls boast in the name of Jesus as Lord. Those who wait upon the Lord hear and rejoice. Our heart sings Love. We are glad in Him. Together, the family of God. We magnify You, Father God. We exalt You Together.

We have sought the Lord and He is answering us. We are delivered from our fears. Let our generations know You are God. We pray for now on all our generations, all ages and those to be born to know the Love and Salvation of Jesus.

Thank You, Jesus, our Lord. Amen.

John 14:1-31 ~ Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God



John 14:1-31


14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”


5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.


15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

28 “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe. 30 I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, 31 but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.




Mark 2
23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. 24 The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

25 He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? 26 In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.”

27 Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”





Today, has not been the best day for me, my husband has been ill and worrying loudly. And John's Gospel, the 2nd Chapter warmed my heart immediately. Although, today, fretting was soothed, my heart was reminded that love surrounds me. To lean upon love.

Do, an action, Not Let Your Heart Be Troubled. Grab hold of peace. Believe.

Grab hold of what is solid in faith. Push back what wobbles.

Condensing John 2 - a conversation! Relationships with Jesus Christ. Questions asked. A Relationship.

Continued in Mark 2. In unusual circumstance that is uncomfortable - Jesus is There. Like Living Water in all the places water will go. The Holy Spirit of God Loves.


1 Corinthians 3
For all things are yours,
 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas 
or the world or life or death 
or the present or the future
—all are yours,
 23 and you are Christ's, 
and Christ is God's.

This is Today. God is giving us adventure.

Because God has given so much, we can rely upon His Word and His Promises to be fulfilled.

God rests. We sometimes need to rest where peace calls. And have the acknowledgment of peace.

Father God, for what is heavy, let us depend upon Your mercies each day. And we will do valiantly with You. And in the community You give for sustenance. For Love. Not leaping ahead to borrow the challenges of another day. For that next day will have new strength provided.

Your Steadfast love will increase our faithfulness;
believing Your righteousness will bring the blessing of peace.
Faithfulness springs up from the ground, causing us to rise up in hope,
and Your righteousness looks down from the sky.
Yes, the Lord will give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
Righteousness will go before our Father God
and make His footsteps a way.

 We look to You, Father God. Amen in... Jesus!

John 2:13-25 ~ three days





John 2:13-25

When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 

15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”

18 The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”

19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”

20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.

23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name. 24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. 25 He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person. 


Psalm 96
7 Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come into his courts.

9 Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.”
The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved;
he will judge the peoples with equity.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.

13 Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes,
he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness

and the peoples in his faithfulness.



2 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, Silas and Timothy,

To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

2 Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing. 4 Therefore, among God’s churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.

5 All this is evidence that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. 6 God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. 8 He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might 10 on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.

11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith. 12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.


Jesus meek and mild. Let Him die for our sins and we can hand Him another plate of my-motivations-ghoolash. Yes, Jesus, clean this up for me. Thanks.

William Barclay (1907-1978) a Scottish scholar, taught at the University of Glasgow for 28 years. He was very comfortable with Ancient Greece and the philosophers. He loved the Lord and put in a lot of head knowledge into his faith. Like Thomas Jefferson.

Professor William Barclay says a temple tax was half a shekel valued at 6p. A laborer's wages for a day was 4p. Pilgrims came from all over the Roman world with silver coins from Rome, Greece, Egypt and Tyre. Every time a Jew from another part of the empire exchange money for the half shekel the money changers made 4p out of him - value of a day's wage on top of the tax. They made a fantastic profit which ran into millions of pounds in today's currency.

We will all get the opportunity to explain our words and choices to God.

Then Scripture tells us every knee will bow at Jesus, Joel also tells us - we are all going to get to see Heaven and the Lord. Psalm 96, above, says all of creation and mankind are judged.

Matthew 25:32
All the nations will be gathered before him


How will we expect Jesus?


Psalm 100
A psalm. For giving grateful praise.

1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.





Father God, let us each day name ourselves and the ones we love and, earnestly with kindness and frankly, the ones given to us - to You. Even, Father God, the generation unborn. 

Help us to honestly complain to You and to turn that concern into trust and peace in Jesus Christ. Cast our cares Up to You.

To draw these lives upward. While we were still sinners You died for us. Guide us all to be children of Your plan in expectation of hope and love. Living lives of gratitude and finding joy You provide. The mercies You provide renew each day, for the blessings You willingly provide and the miracles we ask for.

 In Jesus, we pray in expectation of adventure - in all things Father God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. 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

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.

The Scriptures are Father God's letter to you. He wanted you to know more, to know He loves you.

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. <><
