Guests, You Tubes

First

I visited a bit this evening with a dear blog sister, Elaine, at Peace for the Journey. Click HERE and read her post.  It is her post that prompted me to go looking for the you tube featured below.  Let the words transport you to a place of worship. In particular note these words: Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

ABBA, this is my prayer that You High King of Heaven be FIRST in my heart; truly be in my words and practice, Thou my Treasure now and forever.  Thank You for songs so beautiful that lead us to worship You. Thank You for all the huge and smaller things You are doing in our lives. I am reminded of the Billy Graham telecast just a few weeks away; thank You for such a servant as he is and I pray this endeavor will bring the harvest of souls that You desire. I pray we will be pliable in Your Hands and will do as You will to assist in sharing this telecast with others. I am again bringing Bella, Carolyn, Jamie, Teri and family, Dori, and other situations to You, confessing we need Your help and we desire that You heal and restore these. And in truth, ABBA, these named are only a small number of the names and faces that I bring now asking You for mercy and grace. Holy Spirit, keep us ceaselessly praying for others, always in the Mighty Name of YESHUA.

2 Corinthians 4:

6 For it is the God who once said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has made his light shine in our hearts, the light of the knowledge of God’s glory shining in the face of the Messiah Yeshua.
7 But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it will be evident that such overwhelming power comes from God and not from us.

Faint

Gallery Leave a comment

My intentions for this post was a quick word from THE WORD to encourage us to NOT faint or be weary in this culture and season of our respective journeys. Some of us are newer in our journey than others; but weariness is no respecter of persons. :)

Galatians 6:9

9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

And as I keyed in faint at Bible Gateway dot-com more than the expected Galatians passage appeared.  And I wondered if  our word FAINT was the same for each passage; so I next visited Bible Study Tool dot-com  to use the Hebrew and Greek Lexicon which can be accessed at the tab Interlinear Bible.

And so my word to you from THE WORD today is lean in on ABBA today so you do not grow weary; so you do not faint and as you study THE WORD check out those Hebrew (Old Testament) and those Greek (New Testament) words. It will be enlightening!

So what does the FAINT in Galatians 6:9 mean? (It’s not the same faint as in Ephesians 3:13.)

Click HERE and see (for Galatians 6:9) it is akin to the marriage covenant. So let us keep  ‘covenant’ with the HOLY SPIRIT who seals us; let us make the decision to not step out on Him and give into our flesh of doubts and frustrations and fears and weariness of putting up with this mess; keep leaning on Him, keep believing Him, keep trusting Him and we will see His reward in due time.

Warning! This bites! When we as followers of JESUS, decide to go with our feelings, our flesh instead of staying in trust, walking in the SPIRIT, we have become unfaithful to our LORD in that decision. Praise HIM! Praise HIM! That He forgives and brings us back to the path of discipleship!

1 John 1:9

9 If we acknowledge our sins, then, since he is trustworthy and just, he will forgive them and purify us from all wrongdoing.

Well, Friends, it was not quick or short but I hope it is encouraging.  May ADONAI bless you and keep you and make His Face shine upon you. Numbers 6:24-27.

Thank You, ABBA.  Thank You.
Thank You for good reports for Bella! Thank You for Carolyn’s improved condition. Thank You for loving us; never leaving us, never forsaking us and always having great plans for us for safety, protection, well-being and when the time is right HOME with You. Thank You JESUS for saving us now and forever.

A Quick Hello, Just Chatty Today, Prayer Requests

Cracks

I miss you all when I am deterred from coming here and yet life often keeps me away; but for today a quick hello and some encouragement to you to keep a journal – a diary if you will.
Cozi is a great tool – portable even – :) with phone apps.
Cozi lets you take your calendar, journal, and shopping list with you wherever you go.  And it is that ability that has prompted my quick note here today.

You see I have not been faithful with my portable diary (shame on me!) but I made some entries today:

Lemon verbena soft soap batch cooling now. Got Vitacost ordered.
Got pineapple potted yesterday! Teacup flower-pot. Got it a Walmart. So cute!

And while I was making those entries I noticed the last one I made. It was Saturday, September 7, and we were in Mentone, Alabama at the Wildflower Cafe, and without my portable diary I would not have made the note nor would I have such a sweet memory triggered today. There was a plaque on the wall of the cafe. It read:

There is a crack in every thing. That’s how the light gets in.

Will that preach or what?

Romans 3:23 [source]

23 since all have sinned and come short of earning God’s praise.

Acts 2:21 [source]

21 ‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

John 8:12 [source]

12 Yeshua spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light which gives life.”

We are all cracked pots, and JESUS gives us LIGHT and LIFE.
So I hope you will take a hint and keep a diary.
Just short quick notes will keep memories accessible and who knows might even give you a springboard to share the GOOD NEWS with someone.
Blessings my Friends~~~

Father, thank You for modern tools that You, HOLY SPIRIT, can use to help us; help us serve others and help us remember to praise You. You are so AWESOME. Thank You for loving us continually.  And I am thinking of someone who I want You to heal, Carolyn. She is dear and precious to me and I pray You will heal her and restore her to us; we miss her in Bible Class. And I am confident there are Readers who come here that have someone dear they too are asking that You heal. And it is not just Carolyn; faces and names are on my mind right now: pending surgery, unresolved health issues, financial needs, estranged relationships, wounded children, enslaved people of every kind, the government shut down, the blindness of people, cruelty,  the ministry of reconciliation-raise up people to bring it to others; all this and more, ABBA. We are needy people and I am certain YOU are our answer and our help; I pray, HOLY SPIRIT, You will help us receive Your help. Amen and amen in the Mighty and Holy Name of Yeshua.

It’s a Pretty World Today

ABBA, for sure You made a pretty world; a world for us to inhabit, a world to demonstrate who You are; help us open our eyes and see. Help us open our ears and hear; to be taught as You speak not only from Your Word and with the LIGHT of the world, JESUS the CHRIST, but all that You created. From this window I see You and You are awesome! Your knowledge and wisdom are beyond my comprehension but I praise You and rejoice in who You are. Your design, intricate workings of all things, one aiding the other, colors, air, sun, gravity, on and on. You are indeed GOD, Awesome GOD. Thank You for loving us. 

Psalm 19 (0) For the leader. A psalm of David:
2 (1) The heavens declare the glory of God,
the dome of the sky speaks the work of his hands.
3 (2) Every day it utters speech,
every night it reveals knowledge. [source]

Psalm 97

5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Adonai,
at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness,
and all the peoples see his glory. [source]
