Psalm 54 ~ O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth

This is the cave where Saul slept and David let him live. David went unusual places for God. The area is described well and this is the cave of the region with depth for the men with King Saul. Pretty reliable information. Actually, not much doubt.


Psalm 54

A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, “Is not David hiding among us?”


1 O God, save me by your name, and vindicate me by your might.

2 O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers have risen against me; ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before themselves. Selah

4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.

5 He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them.

6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O LORD, for it is good.

7 For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.





Psalm 91:6
"Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, For the arrow that flieth by day, For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, For the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand."


David knew - - - Pestilence. In letting Saul live, (who had killed Priests of the Temple for merely feeding David and his small band) David was risking his parents and 7 other brothers and their families. You'd have to wonder if David's group were disappointed Saul survived the hunt for David's head on a spike. Or Saul might have attached David's body on a well-known wall until falling  to pieces.

Pestilence is really pretty serious. 10,000 ways to lose life.

Let's examine David's son, Solomon's opinion of the Grisly. Solomon explains his father's situation well:


1 Kings 8

31 "If a man sins against his neighbor and is made to take an oath and comes and swears his oath before your altar in this house, 32 then hear in heaven and act and judge your servants, condemning the guilty by bringing his conduct on his own head, and vindicating the righteous by rewarding him according to his righteousness.


We see Saul did this - after giving David his own daughter to marry.

33 "When your people Israel are defeated before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and if they turn again to you and acknowledge your name and pray and plead with you in this house, 34 then hear in heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel and bring them again to the land that you gave to their fathers.

Succinctly Solomon has described Israel - war-torn - during Saul.


And Solomon goes on to describe the Pestilence merciful David could well have experienced. These are the terrors of the Bronze Age and of all mankind:


1 Kings 8

37 "If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence or
blight
or mildew
or locust
or caterpillar,
if their enemy besieges them in the land at their gates,
whatever plague,
whatever sickness there is,

38 whatever prayer, whatever plea is made by any man or by all your people Israel, each knowing the affliction of his own heart and stretching out his hands toward this house, 39 then hear in heaven your dwelling place and forgive and act and render to each whose heart you know, according to all his ways (for you, you only, know the hearts of all the children of mankind)

40 That they may fear you all the days that they live in the land that you gave to our fathers.


And not only that pestilence apparently spare them and the nation - that opportunity would not pass them by - leading to more pestilence.  All opportunities that lead forward into goodness:

41 "Likewise, when a foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, comes from a far country for your name's sake 42 (for they shall hear of your great name and your mighty hand, and of your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this house,

43 hear in heaven your dwelling place and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to you, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house that I have built is called by your name.




David believed in the Shield of God allowing him to be merciful and blessed.

David believed in the Mercy of God allowing David to be benevolent. This is an era where your new ally might ask you into the fields to delight in child sacrifice. David was teaching the Mercy of God in doing righteousness. David is no shrinking Petunia to offer goodness and thanksgiving as sacrifice. David is fully informed of the cost of Mercy and would have Mercy be the guide.

David believes when we have approached Father God having done all within our Power - God is going to answer prayers.

The Protection of God for those placing their lives in God's hands doing Mercy and Righteousness.







Abba,

A Thousand years is one day to You. We ask The Vast and Amazing God who calls us His Father, for His Blessing this day and always -upon us and our loved ones.

Three God days ago,

Solomon finished offering all this prayer and plea to the LORD, he arose from before the the first day of the First Temple of Jerusalem, planned lovingly by David, and went to altar of the LORD.

Solomon knelt with hands outstretched toward heaven.

And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel (that is us with God's Living and Active Word)
with a loud voice, saying,

"Blessed be the LORD
who has given rest to his people Israel,
according to all that he promised.
Not one word has failed of all his good promise, which he spoke by Moses his servant.


The LORD our God be with us,
as he was with our fathers. (Our families).

May our Father God not leave us or forsake us,
Our Father God may incline our hearts to Him,

to walk in all His Way, Truth and Life,
to worship our Father God in Spirit and Truth.
Living in Relationship with God of Love, Hope and Encouragement.

Let these words of mine, with which I have pleaded before the LORD,
and with confidence in Jesus,
be near to the LORD our God day and night.


May Father God maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel,
as each day requires,
for all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God;
there is no other.

Let your heart therefore be wholly true to the LORD our God,
walking in his statutes
and keeping his commandments,
as at this day."



Just as we are able to know the same Father God,
His Holy Spirit and Son Jesus Christ. We are able to catch the words of Solomon as they Live.
Knowing this profound blessing of Three of God's Days - is Alive - Active and the Love of our Father.

Because of the Love Father God has for us,
Jesus has made us God's temple and God's Spirit dwells in your midst.

Listening to Your Living Word with our Spirit, The Holy Spirit You place in us,
we know the Scriptures, and we know the power of God.

Jesus fill us, our loved ones, the Believing world with the Joy of the Holy Spirit.
Filling us with Joy, Hope, Love, Patience, Mercy and letting the Light of Christ
shine in our hearts, bringing Words of Life. Explaining the Love God sees in us and
He has for us.

In Jesus, we will know God eternally and forever. Amen and Amen.

Psalm 115 ~ Trust in the Lord




Psalm 115



1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!

2 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?"

3 Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.

4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.

5 They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see. 6 They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell. 7 They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat. 8 Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them.  

9 O Israel, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.

11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.

12 The LORD has remembered us; he will bless us;
he will bless the house of Israel;
he will bless the house of Aaron;
he will bless those who fear the LORD,
both the small and the great.

14 May the LORD give you increase, you and your children!

15 May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth!

16 The heavens are the LORD's heavens,
but the earth he has given to the children of man.
17 The dead do not praise the LORD,
nor do any who go down into silence.

18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and forevermore.
Praise the LORD!




This man, at the top, with the Eternal Armor of God looks underdressed. Maybe we should instead want the Helmet with Visor and Ski Gear. This might be safer and faster. More modern wisdom.

What if James Bond's enemies chased him fiercely on the ski slopes? That Armor of God? Would the Armor of God hold? Could they get him in the neck! Take out an artery in his leg. Shoot him in the back. Even get his calf or thigh. This Armor doesn't look covering enough. At least, not to deep-seated worriers with high clearance worry skills.

Surely, if he's dead - he would be glad to show Jesus our Lord, he had the armor, faithfully on.

And what if enemies leave him to die in the forests on the ski slope? Wouldn't this man want to call out for help in the middle of the forest or at night? The Ski Gear is not going to comfort him.

And if it took days, wouldn't this man be warmed to know God was helping him survive. Giving him hope to endure and even pray for the ones he loves.

What if the enemies had stranded all his family with him? Wouldn't the Armor of God give them faith to endure and hope? This man is going to want to lead his loved ones in a victorious, strengthening, overcoming journey.







We are assuming the Armor of God failed to protect him. We are giving the worst case scenario.

Is this sinful? The Disciples of Jesus, He Loved and cooked breakfast for - had presented Him with many fears and even the worst case scenario. Jesus is God Himself. He is not petty and He is not shaken. Jesus says when you sit down to build a Tower - you consult many counselors - if you are wise.

It could be the man had forgotten, the Armor of God was placed on many years ago. And in crisis, remembered the Promises of God hold firm. He could quickly be polishing the enduring Armor of God and finding Salvation of real Help.









Quite a few people have had a time or two needing the Shield of God during harsh circumstance.


Genesis 15:1
1 After these things, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision:

"Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great."


Since King David, men have argued superior armor. Even during the time of Judges, Israel has sung of overcoming with God as a Shield.

1 Samuel 17:7-12

7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. And his shield-bearer went before him. 8 He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, "Why have you come out to draw up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me. 9 If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us." 10 And the Philistine said, "I defy the ranks of Israel this day. Give me a man, that we may fight together." 11 When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid. 12 Now David was the son of an Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, named Jesse...


Evidently, the idea of superior Armor is enduring.

David!

2 Samuel 22:3
3 my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence.


Apparently, the Armor of God is indeed pretty compact. Fitting behind 3 smooth rocks and a slingshot.  In fact, David has seen the Armor of God lead to peace.

2 Samuel 22:36
36 You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your gentleness made me great.


You have to Love Bronze Age Warrior Kings. David knew where he wants to Live. How many times do you see someone battle superiorly and they wish for a shield of gentleness?

1 Chronicles 12 tells us God sent David help. Many, Many Warriors to protect him. It's manifestly a very, very large Shield of God. The Shield of God is what God Himself calls the Shield to be.

18 Then the Spirit clothed Amasai, chief of the thirty, and he said, "We are yours, O David, and with you, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers! For your God helps you. "Then David received them and made them officers of his troops.

22 For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like an army of God.



Psalm 3:3
But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.


Psalm 18:30
30 This God--his way is perfect; the word of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.











What are the properties of the Shield being used faithfully? This Shield of God is commanded of God daily. Father God is still working to this day, with Jesus Christ.

Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts,
and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.

Trusting, exulting, singing.

JESUS.




Proverbs 2:7
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity


The Goodness of Jesus was all over women of the 1st Century. They helped the Disciples. The women helped Jesus. Jesus saw to their needs and comforted the women. John 4 tells us Jesus quickly told a woman Jesus is the Messiah. Wisdom shows up in the Old Testament as a woman. Multitudes of only women showed up to mourn Jesus on Good Friday.





Wise men still serve Jesus. And have for millenniums. Having peace in difficult times.

Isaiah 21:5
They prepare the table, they spread the rugs, they eat, they drink. Arise, O princes; oil the shield!





Jeremiah 46:3
"Prepare buckler and shield, and advance for battle!


Bravery and courage!

Philippians 4:13
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.







Ezekiel 27:10
10 "Persia and Lud and Put were in your army as your men of war. They hung the shield and helmet in you;
they gave you splendor.

Nahum 2:3
3 The shield of his mighty men is red; his soldiers are clothed in scarlet.

Proverbs 31
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet.






We just never know where God is going to show us His Glory.


Psalms 18
He tore open the sky and came down!
He stood on a thick, dark cloud.
He flew across the sky,
Riding on a Cherub angel racing on the wings of the wind.



Abba,

We count on You to be our Light. Jesus the Light of the world.
We count upon Your Protection and Glory.

We know You are Living Water,
Nourishing, Seeping, Filling,
Your Will Prevails, and You will travel where You please.
Anywhere God would go as Living Water - You Will.

We, with complete expectation, believe in the Fulfilling
of Your Word,
Love.

Fill us with our Loved Ones,
our cares filled with trust and Hope in Your Love,
Fill the Believing world to see the Love of God shine forth.

And please, as we trust in the Armor of God for all our days,
in this Great Possibility of Your Glorious Promise to us
Let the Living Water of Your Love continue to flow.

Your Word tells us You will do far more than we imagine or know,
We ask Your Love to be the Living Water continuously running.
The Prayer for Living Water to flow as Your Love, Spiritually.
Let this Prayer be the Font of Your Love Continually Flowing.

Even as the Angels sing Holy, Holy, Holy

Is Our Lord Father God Almighty.

In Jesus Christ, Who is and was and is to come, we pray and say Amen.

Psalm 36 ~ The Great Deep


Psalm 104:12
Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; they sing among the branches.



Psalm 36


1 Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes. 2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated. 3 The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and do good. 4 He plots trouble while on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not reject evil.

5 Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.

6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O LORD.



7 How precious is your steadfast love, O God!

The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

8 They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.

9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.



10 Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you, and your righteousness to the upright of heart! 11 Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. 12 There the evildoers lie fallen; they are thrust down, unable to rise.






Genesis 1:20-21
And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.”

So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.








Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O LORD.


Yar. No one has considered the vast and deep qualities of God the Almighty Father of the Universe without considering the wisdom and scope of an Amazing God. The planets orbit is caused by what source. The Lightning of the earth connects to the flares of the Sun. The earth's magnetosphere is formed by the interaction of the solar wind with Earth’s magnetic field. Not an uninformed Creator in this Creation. The DNA within our own bodies shaping our lives and length. Formed by ancestors thousands of years ago. Not by accident.




The mummies of China from 6,000 years ago come from Europe, U.K., India. Children of the Middle Ages were not named until age 5. And mummies from thousands of years ago, show children of a young age surrounded by the sacrifice of a household of tenderly made blankets. Horses are recorded in China for the first time in 1600 B.C. and tenderly made tombs of 6,000-year-old horses near the woman with saddles and of European descent.




When we fly on an airplane at night, we see lights of streets and homes. Large lights of commercial use and small lights of small children from bedroom windows. Names and souls and lives are dearly known to God of All Things. The Father who made a plan from Genesis 1 to move His Spirit to be so close to dwell within us. A Plan from the Beginning.

The history of huge wars of Empires for the benefit of the few and for monetary gain. The History of Israel. A small nation oppressed by the sweep of Empires near, around and occasionally oppressing and utterly sweeping away Israel to the utter doom of the Nation... seen many times in the history of the world. And in these harsh conditions - Father God finds time to instruct His Children with His Word and  letting oxen eat as the field is plowed. Do not boil a baby of an animal in its mother's milk. Hygienic death is swift in kosher and less painful - merciful. Sacrifice - life required of the innocent animal - painful to the one with the sin. Making an animal - not just an item of food. A new thought in a brutal age. Not sport to snare. Life. Loss. Innocence.






Noah collected the Animals. To travel in the wilds of uncharted life. When we appreciated the gift of animals God has given us, we know in the fear Noah had - the animals gave comfort. Comforting the animals, caring for their needs. Animal affection and gratitude.






Noah was concerned with the dove.  The animals are part of creation. Not just as a means to an end - how will we know? The Scriptures repeat. God has placed His Spirit in mankind - without this Spirit - mankind would not be delightful. Just as empty space can contain solar wind and magnetics. The Creation and Spirit of God is present in what is empty by appearance.



The Presence of God is His Wisdom and Goodness in the vastness of Creation and the repeat of the Word of God to warm us to His Love.


Matthew 6:25-34
Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.

Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Noah collected the animals, because Father God collects the little animals of His Vast Creation. His Pleasure.

Isaiah 40:31
They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Psalm 50:11
I know all the birds of the hills, and all that moves in the field is mine.


Matthew 10:29
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.

Matthew 10:16
Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

Psalm 91:4
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings, you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

Matthew 23:37
how often I have longed to gather your children together,
as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings








Psalm 139

Where can I go from your Spirit?

You are there, if I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea

How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!

Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—


Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.


What has caused the Father who would give us His Son, His Jesus,
to place this love upon us
and His Creation His Living Word calls to us as Good?



God tells us of His Heart.

Proverbs 4:23
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.

The Way, Truth and Life.

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.

1 Samuel 16:7
The Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

1 Timothy 1:5
The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Psalm 34:18
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

Ezekiel 11:19
I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them.
I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh




Abba,

Give us Your Blessing each day. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Live in my being and essence. Live in those I love. Bless the world to live in Your Love, having Joy,
Compassion and Mercy. Guard us and deliver us. Your Love and Protection.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, God of God, Light of Light. True. God.

Amen.

Luke 7:11-14 ~ Arise






Luke 7:11-14



11 Soon afterward he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him.


12 As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her.

13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”

14 Then he came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still.
And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”




Jesus. Son of God. Could have handled Himself in so many different ways. This miracle would explain to the great crowd - Jesus raises from the dead. This is the understanding of Messiah and the proof the crowd would remember on Easter Sunday.


Jesus stayed with His People,  until all understood what had happened - The Miracle of Restoration.

Restoration of a Child. Restoration of Love. Restoration of Goodness - it is not good for mankind to be alone. Restoration of her aged life. Restoration of her livelihood. Restoration of Love and Hope. God sees His Creation is good and worthy of His Love.


Immediately. A Word of Jesus. Power. Arise. Amazement.

Abide. We ask this Blessing each day of Wonderful Jesus.






Isaiah saw Jesus 700 years before Jesus was born and called Jesus: "Wonderful" "Counselor" "Almighty God" "Prince of Peace". Our Jesus. Is Wonderful.


We have seen Peace in our Nation this year. Boston. Not being told to have peace - Providing Peace. The people of Boston worked peacefully together to remember Martin Luther King, Junior's Dream. Amazing Alleluia. God Himself has more than a Dream. God has His Word. His Word is Sure. God's Workmen go Home, His Work continues.

God Bless Martin Luther King, Jr. God Bless those Working the Peace. His Work continues.
Causing the People to work for Peace
Is a reflection of God's Glory
Martin Luther King, Junior

Ephesians 3:15
From whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name




Arise in the Glory of God uplifting us.



John 7:31


"After all," they said, "would you expect
the Messiah
to do more miraculous signs than this man has done?"

Redemption. Rising up even from Death itself.


Isaiah 50:10

Who is among you, fearing Jehovah, Hearkening to the voice of His servant, That hath walked in dark places, And there is no brightness for him?

Let him trust in the name of Jehovah, And lean upon his God.


Jesus has the Victory. God has called Jesus to work His purpose that specific day.  Jesus is in Nain with Purpose. Just as God calls forth His Holy Spirit Today.

The Word of God Lives. God's Word is Alive.
Available today.
God's Word is Wisdom.
God's Word is Perfect.
God's Word is the Path to Righteousness.
Unparalleled. Unrivaled. Salvation.

We are but dust and alive because of His Word.
God alone is God. Jesus is the exact representation of the Father.
Wonderful. Almighty God.

God calls us today to live Forever.






Jesus our Redemption.




Hebrews 1:2

2 But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.

3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature,

upholding all things by His powerful word.

After He had provided purification for sins


His life tells us; His Love demonstrates:

Mark 12:33
To love Him with all your heart and with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself, which is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."



Abba,

We approach You with confidence as Jesus gives us His Name. We approach Your Heart and ask Your Blessing.

Upon whom does His Light not arise?
How then can man be in the right before God?
How can he who is born of woman be pure?

Behold, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not pure in His Eye, how much less mankind?


Our Abba understands the way to it, and He knows its place.
Our Father, He looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the Heavens.

When He gave to the wind its weight and apportioned the waters by measure,
When He made a decree for the rain and a way for the brightness of voices.

Our Almighty God,
Our Father in Jesus Christ.

God saw it and declared it;
He established it,
and searched it out.

Our God has said to man, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.'"

Golden brightness and splendor come from God our Father
men can scarcely look upon this,
how much less upon the Splendor and Majesty God has upon Himself!

At the brightness that was before Him - His thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

And in our Prayer - our Abba says, "Arise."

In Bold Confidence Pray with God.

Our Father
Who art in Heaven
Holy is Your Name.

Your Kingdom Come.
Your Will be done, on earth as in Heaven.

Give us this day
Our Daily Bread - our Living Bread - our time with love and conversation with our Jesus.

Forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.

Lead us not in to temptation
Deliver us from evil.

For Yours is
The Kingdom
The Power and
The Glory.

Covering us, 
Covering our Nation to have Demonstrations of Equality.
Covering our Dreams,
Covering our cares,
Covering our weather and slides
Covering our Loved Ones,
Blessing us all in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Psalm 15 ~ dwell on Your Holy Hill




Psalm 15


A Psalm of David.


1 O LORD, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill?

2 He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart;

3 who does not slander with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor,
nor takes up a reproach against his friend;
4 in whose eyes a vile person is despised,
but who honors those who fear the LORD;

who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
5 who does not put out his money at interest
and does not take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things shall never be moved.



What Holy Hill would the Holy Spirit, speaking through David, possibly mean?











Revelation 21

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth,
for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."

5 And he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new."

Also he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."



In His Heaven, and as we pray the Lord's Prayer - we want God's Will to be done and trust God to know what is best.

We trust God in Jesus to make us blameless. None of mankind may boast. We are all in need of Jesus Christ.

No one will know us as God does. Proverbs tells us God knows us as well as we know ourselves. God is looking out for us - sorting out life and the truth we speak - in our lives and in our heart,
to lean to God's Will.

To have the glory of knowing the Yar of God. The Reverence for Father God as God of Gods. Creator of All Things. Almighty Father. Ancient of Days. God of Love. The understanding of His for How High and How Holy God is:
With our need for His Grace.
The Blessing of having our Father's Love and Grace.
The Gratitude for God. Gratitude for Jesus and His Gift.
The mystery of God's Depths and Love.
The Certainty of Jesus Christ - His Only Son.
The Belief of the Indwelling of God Himself - The Holy Spirit drawing us to God.


Allowing time and circumstance - the mystery of God's full Plan in our lives. Allowing harsh circumstance and questions to dwell in the Righteous Father God. Not allowing for the root of bitterness to take hold of us as the time and tide do not belong to us.

Jesus walked upon the Sea of Galilee - He fully knew how waves, wind and wonder was of Father God. We do not. We are not the callers of all men - nor of their destiny.

God Himself is the one who demands souls. It is to God where all answers are. We trust God to present the keys of Heaven. We trust God to hold the Gates of Heaven open for us one day and in our daily prayer life. Jesus tells us - we mortal and sometimes weary - are His and He allows us access to His Home, Heaven, Hearth and Heart. This is our God. How far He allows us in Jesus. How much we need Jesus to attain this Height.


And because of Jesus - we will never be moved from His Sight. Never be moved from His Love. Never be moved from His Grace. Never be moved from His Hand. Never be moved from His Heart.



Abba, Abba, Abba,

We ask Your Blessing and Protection - The Holiness of Heaven declare Your Glory.

Your Depths Father are Vast, Ageless and without Boundary and in this infinite capacity
You have searched and known - me. A Child of God for Your Willingness. You know me so well -
you know when I sit and when I rise. I rise up with Your Love. You discern my thoughts from afar.

You place Your Spirit in my soul. You, because of Jesus, live in me.

You mysteriously know my path and when I lie down to rest.
You know all of me and are acquainted with all my ways.
Be my Light - Jesus - everyday know every cell, every thought, every deed, every word.
Welcome Holy Spirit - Welcome Father - Welcome Jesus. Welcome!

You lead me on Your Path. You Encourage me in Your Love.
You are all of Your Creation. All of the Universe, this earth, this sky,
my home, my room, my soul, my mind, my heart - You hem the Universe together by Your Word.
You lay Your hand upon my heart. You cause me to Love.

Your Love, Your Ways, Your Word, Your Goodness, Your Wisdom, Your Plan - is too far
and too Wonderful for me to know all of You. You are High and Holy. Your Answers too deep.

Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?

Mercifully, Jesus Christ's Love assures us - His Disciples did not earn God's Grace. The love of Jesus Christ surpasses knowledge, that we may be filled with all the fullness of God.

If I ascend to Heaven, in prayer with Jesus, You are there!
If I make my bed in worry, Jesus will be there.

When my heart is full, and I take the wings of the morning and
dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Jesus is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,
according to the power of His Holy Spirit at work within us,
even in all of the Glory of God,
there Your Hand shall lead me,
and Your Right Hand shall hold me.

If I say fear and doubt, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”

Jesus walked on the Sea of Galilee in God's night,
even the darkness is not dark to You;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with You.

Nothing is Impossible with You, my Abba,
For You formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you for Your Steadfast Love,
in my Faith, I am both fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are Your Works;
for the gift of Jesus,
Your willingly Love causes me to have my soul know Your Comfort very well.



The Plan of my life, woven in all Your Might with Love and Will, is not hidden from You,
when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

Your Eyes saw my unformed substance;
in Your Book of Life were written,
every day formed for me,
when none of the days were yet to be.

How infinitely precious to me are Your Thoughts, O God!
How vast are the sum of Your Thoughts. They are more than the sand.

To Jesus be glory in the Church,
Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.

Ourselves, our loved ones, all people of God
and the loves ones You have yet to place here in our lives
and in Your Love and Goodness.

Your Love blesses and surrounds us in great depth.

Jesus is God. Amen.

Matthew 9:27-30 ~ followed Him, calling out, “Have mercy on us"





Matthew 9:27-30


27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”

“Yes, Lord,” they replied.

29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; 30 and their sight was restored. 



 In Jesus. Amen.

When Moses was to see God, a great and auspicious occasion, Moses was asked not to see.

Exodus 33
18 Moses said, “Please show me your glory.” 

19 And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. 20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.”

 21 And the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock, 22and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 

23 Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.”

Both Scripture passages reflect this is a process to see God. Beginning with the earnestness of seeking God. And Father God is present.

Exodus 34
5 The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord,

Jesus!

6 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, 7 keeping steadfast love for thousands,a forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.” 8 And Moses quickly bowed his head toward the earth and worshiped.

Luke 1 finds through the Millenniums the Worship of Father God continues and in the New Covenant God redirects His mercies as He gives us Jesus for our Salvation.

Luke 1:50
His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.

The Gospel of John says in the First Chapter:

John 1:45
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.







Father God, 


We always want to return to Your Presence and Give Thanks.

Thank You for this time. You have chosen our circumstances. And in them Your Grace, Favor, Joy, Love is here. 

Bless those who provide a Blessing.  Help those who have grave concerns in life. The ability to hand them to Jesus and Let God work His Will.

Thank You for Your Will. In the Name of Jesus. Praying more of Heaven on earth for all those who Love You.

In Jesus Amen.

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. <><
