On the Day

I come to you today with an invitation. An invitation to read Psalm 86. For a link and easy access to the Text, click HERE.

It’s a prayer of David’s recorded for us, for us to pray too; for us to read and fill our souls with strength and courage and just an all over sense HE LOVES ME!

This is the verse that sent me here to you:
On the day of my trouble I am calling on you, for you will answer me. [source] and this is my note to myself, actually to us. :)

On the day. On the day of my trouble. I will not wait. I will not wait to call on You ABBA. I will not first go to anyone else. To You I will come immediately with my troubles! And I will come first to You, ABBA, because I know You will answer me. 

That’s what David prayed. We can pray it too! We just did!

Refuge

Reading Psalm 46 this morning.  Hear a verse or two.

(1) God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble. [source]

Refuge: a recourse for aid or escape. [source] GOD is our recourse for aid or escape. Today. Whichever benefits us most, aid through it or an escape from it; He IS it!  And ever-present to boot! His refuge and strength NEVER run out on us!

Verse 2

11 (10) “Desist, and learn that I am God,
supreme over the nations,
supreme over the earth.”  [source]

Desist. Stop doing what you’re doing [source] and do something else: learn that HE is GOD! Learn that HE is supreme over the nations. Learn that HE is supreme over the earth. 

And learning that my Friends will be a refuge for sure!

ABBA, my prayer for Friends, Family, and Readers today is peace, Your Peace. Strength, Your Strength received in us. Wisdom, for sure Your wisdom and not our own. Courage, yes courage from You to give to each other. A respite, as is needed. Laughter, oh yes, ABBA, holy laughter; cause it to ring out in this dark world. And solutions, solutions to the many ails in our individual lives and the world in which we live. And it is in the Merits and Grace of our LORD and Savior Jesus (Yeshua), the Christ, that I make this petition.

All Natural

When I shop for food, I look for All Natural. It usually has a higher $$ tag attached to it. Go figure – it’s all natural or so it boasts; how is it that doing less to it (keeping it natural) costs me more! 

But that is not how this post originally began. Here’s how:

My flesh wants to be annoyed, ABBA, always annoyed or worse. What does my spirit, Your Spirit in me, want when the computer is slower than my brain envisions as good; when the ICloud no longer automatically loads pictures and I’ve tried all I know and still  — they are not there?

My all natural default is to be annoyed; so  easily annoyed.  See what I mean? All natural is not always good and yes it does costs more! :)

Sin is all natural and the wages of sin is death – really high price to pay. See Romans 6:23.

But thanks be to GOD for His indescribable gift (see II Corinthians 9:15) we can have a super-natural nature (see II Corinthians 5: 17-21)! One that is not easily annoyed; one that is long-suffering; one that sees beauty and good everywhere she looks; one that lives in joy everyday. (See I Corinthians 13) One that has a mission here on earth, one she cannot do annoyed. :)

Thank You, ABBA, for a new nature. One that can choose to kick her natural nature to the curb. :)

Day 343 of 2014, a day to give Thanks.
