Here’s . . .

Just a phrase from my Journey reading this morning. “. . . even in His holiness, He understands our humanness.”

14 For he understands how we are made, he remembers that we are dust. via Ps 103 KJV;CJB – Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that – Bible Gateway.

which started me at Psalm 103. Here’s a link if you want to read the whole of it.

Here’s an excerpt to take on your way today.

17 But the mercy of Adonai on those who fear him is from eternity past to eternity future, and his righteousness extends to his children’s children, 18 provided they keep his covenant and remember to follow his precepts.

via Ps 103 KJV;CJB – Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that – Bible Gateway.

Blessings my Friends on this 15th day of 2014,

Today’s Arsenal

This is for me this morning, but I will share with you just in case you need it too. I’ll give it in context and then pull a nugget or two for today’s arsenal.

6 Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the right time he may lift you up.
7 Throw all your anxieties upon him, because he cares about you.
8 Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
9 Stand against him, firm in your trust, knowing that your brothers throughout the world are going through the same kinds of suffering.
10 You will have to suffer only a little while; after that, God, who is full of grace, the one who called you to his eternal glory in union with the Messiah, will himself restore, establish and strengthen you and make you firm.
11 To him be the power forever and ever. Amen.
12 Through Sila, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written you briefly, encouraging you and giving my witness that this is God’s true grace. Stand firm in it!
13 Your sister congregation in Bavel, chosen along with you, sends greetings to you, as does my son Mark.
14 Greet each other with a kiss of love. “Shalom aleikhem!” to all who belong to the Messiah.

via 1 Peter 5 KJV;CJB – The elders which are among you I – Bible Gateway.

Mighty Hand – ABBA’s Hand is mighty today!  Take that and apply it where you need it!

Stay sober! — Don’t become intoxicated today, or drunk on the dregs of this world; on the challenges, the troubles, the sins, the pleasures, the to do lists, the anything this world has to offer or shove at us today; don’t become inebriated with stuff today.

Stand firm in your trust – that ABBA is good and that He loves YOU.

And if not today, soon

will HIMSELF restore, establish and strengthen you and make you firm.

 

Blessings, my Friends on this 14th day of 2014.

A Watered Garden

The chapter holds some requirements but if we follow after ABBA consistently obedient to the revelation He has given us then we can be assured of this:

11 Adonai will always guide you; he will satisfy your needs in the desert, he will renew the strength in your limbs; so that you will be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails. via Is 58 KJV;CJB – Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice – Bible Gateway.

That’s a good, encouraging and comforting word, let us walk in it on this 9th day of 2014,

Guidelines for the New Year

It has been a pleasant, soul-feeding day; not to mention the body feeding as well.  Oven fried pork chops, black-eyed peas, cabbage, turnip greens, cornbread and for some sweet tea; for yours truly unsweetened and I have actually grown to prefer it — most of the time.  And with a quick ‘have a little talk with JESUS’ prayer I resisted the urge for Dunkin Donuts this evening.

Speaking of ‘have a little talk with JESUS’ praying, I am determined to do more of that this year as evidenced by this evening – It works!

My Little Girl has a great guideline for the New Year. She posted it to Facebook; I’m borrowing it.

2014 is going to be a great year! Live a life of joy every day!! — feeling hopeful.

And she is smart enough to know that every day is not going to lend its self to happiness; but she is also wise enough to know we can CHOOSE to retain the JOY of the LORD.

John 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

via John 15:11 KJV;CJB – These things have I spoken unto you, – Bible Gateway.

We have covenanted to remind one another.  :)

By the way, did you know the word JOY is referenced in KJV 187 times? Click HERE and take a look.

Some pots and pans are calling. Happy Day 2 of 2014!!
