For Today

Gallery 1 Comment

For today. Some verses to read again and again until they do the work in our hearts, our hands and our feet that He intends them to do.

6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
8 I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

via Ps 85 KJV;CJB – Lord, thou hast been favourable unto – Bible Gateway.

So what stands out to you at first reading?

A cry for mercy? How about I will? I will hear what GOD has to say.

Folly? How often have I returned to folly?

The salvation of man brings ABBA’s glory to the land. Oh that righteousness and peace would marry in this Land!

I pray, HOLY SPIRIT, that You will keep this passage on our minds until it does the work in us that You have set it to do. Revival. Send revival to us I pray.

Day 52 of 2014, praying for revival.

Straight-forward

5 Or do you suppose the Scripture speaks in vain when it says that there is a spirit in us which longs to envy?

via James 4 KJV;CJB – From whence come wars and fightings – Bible Gateway.

Doesn’t that just mess with you?

There is a spirit in me that longs to envy. There is a spirit in me that flat-out likes, craves and goes after envying.

Isn’t that what it says?

Well yes but I’m not really like that, really I’m not we might say.

Does GOD lie?

Well, no.

So what then? Do we or do we not have a spirit in us that goes after all kinds of evil?

We have two choices.

We can humble ourselves and admit it to ABBA and He will give us grace to overcome.

6 But the grace he gives is greater, which is why it says, “God opposes the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace.”

via James 4 KJV;CJB – From whence come wars and fightings – Bible Gateway.

Or we can refuse and find ourselves fighting against GOD HIMSELF.  And who do you think will win that one in the end?

Well that was pretty straight-forward wasn’t it?

Without any wit of flippancy, only honest praise, ABBA, You are the straight-shooter and I am so grateful. So grateful that You tell like it is. So grateful that nothing is hidden from You and I can always, always trust You to deal rightly with me and always love me. And not just me but all Your children and so I pray for each of us that we will be bold to come and confess our sins, to humble ourselves and work with You to be lifted up, carried into Your Presence for worship and service; thank You in the Mighty name of Yeshua.

Confessing we are blessed on this 45th day of 2014,

Under the Radar

Gallery Leave a comment

I was thinking of a Scriptural concept this morning; making a mental note to look it up when I could slow down long enough to get to my laptop.

And as the HOLY SPIRIT would have it my Little Girl quoted it to me this afternoon.

Is there something troubling you? Do you know something corrupt is going on but it’s just below the radar of exposure?

Yeah me too!

And so this verse comforts me. This verse encourages me in my quest to exercise patience. It gives me the strength to behave myself when others don’t. It cheers me on to do right even when doing wrong would ‘feel’ better – for the moment.

26 So do not fear them; for there is nothing covered that will not be uncovered, or hidden that will not be known.
via Matthew 10:26 KJV;CJB – Fear them not therefore: for there is – Bible Gateway.

Be encouraged, my Friends.

Enjoying the HOLY SPIRIT and His Glorious, Loving ways on this 44th day of 2014,

Thank You, ABBA. Thank You, HOLY SPIRIT, for Your perfect watch-care over us. Thank You for making Your Word alive for us. Thank You for strength. Thank You for enabling us to do well in JESUS’ name. Thank You for each Reader and I pray for each of them to be encouraged, strengthened, and made whole.

I was about to share only one verse with you.

10 (9) Adonai, all my longing is known to you; my sighing is not hidden from you.

via Ps 38 KJV;CJB – O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: – Bible Gateway

And then I read a few more.

11 (10) My heart is throbbing, my strength is gone, and the light in my eyes has left me.
12 (11) My friends and companions shun my disease; even the closest keep their distance.
13 (12) Those seeking my life lay snares for me, those seeking to harm me speak of disaster and think up deceptions all day long.
14 (13) But I’m like a deaf man — I don’t hear it; and, like a mute, I don’t say a word.
15 (14) Yes, I’ve become like a man who doesn’t hear and in whose mouth are no defenses.
16 (15) For it is in you, Adonai, that I hope. You will answer, Adonai my God.

via Ps 38 KJV;CJB – O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: – Bible Gateway.

Do you see it? Have you lived it? Are you living it now?

The complete exhaustion of running. So worn out there is no sparkle, not even a glint of a smile left in the eyes.  And it has been going on so long that people avoid him (her) now; even her closest friends don’t come around as often anymore.  It’s like they are afraid they’ll catch it: the lack of luster, the no vision for a silver lining, the world has betrayed me, all is lost, woe is me.  And so the barrage does not stop for her; constantly, day after day her mind is filled with memories, taunts, dialogues spoken and not spoken, premonitions  of failure and defeat forevermore, the endless sameness of this nightmare; through it all her mind has snared her feet and bound her hands; she performs only what she must to keep the family breathing.

But wait! A revelation comes. She grabs hold and refuses to let go! She stops listening to the taunts, she releases the memories to Another. She ceases to talk the talk of the enemy; she surrenders the debate; she sees it now: her enemy deserves no words from her. Her trust in Him will now speak for her: get thee hence Satan.

How? How could this be?

For it is in you, Adonai, that I hope. You will answer, Adonai my God.

It is You, ADONAI! My hope is in You and even though I do not know all the answers to why or how or what, YOU are my Answer today and tomorrow.

ABBA, thank You. HOLY SPIRIT, I pray You will take this and direct it before the eyes and to the hearts of those You have prepared to receive Your Word and be made whole. Let not a one of us miss what You have for us here in JESUS name.

Rejoicing on this 43rd day of 2014 that none of my longings are hidden from HIM,

Kathie
