Nehemiah 8:10   21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

10 . . .  for this day is holy unto our Lord; neither be ye sorry, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”      via Nehemiah 8:10 KJ21 – Then he said unto them, “Go your – Bible Gateway.

Isaiah 59:1   21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

1 Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.   via Is 59:1 KJ21 – Behold, the LORD’S hand is not – Bible Gateway.

And in between verse 1 and verse 19 is a whole lot of rebellion and sin and stubbornness and idolatry and on and on. Shall we not forget the LORD’s Hand is not too short to reach?

To reach to correct.

To reach to save.

Give Him praise today that His Hand is not too short to reach YOU for whatever it is YOU need today.

Spanking or Saving.

Either way He loves you and me enough to reach for us today.  Give Him praise!! You see it’s not just unbelievers who need saving, we His children need saving everyday – saving from bad choices, wrong attitudes, perils and harm that we are often oblivious to, on and on He saves us. Let us JOY in Him and be glad this day!

19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.

20 “And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob,” saith the Lord.

21 “As for me, this is my covenant with them,” saith the Lord; “My spirit that is upon thee, and My words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed,” saith the Lord, “from henceforth and for ever.”   via Isaiah 59 KJ21 – Behold, the LORD’S hand is not – Bible Gateway.

How bless o LORD are we that Your Hand is not too short to reach us for spanking or saving!! What a blessed thought to me, ABBA, that You would correct me; that You would love me enough to correct me and save me. Thank You, ABBA, thank You. And I pray for each who come here to read and pray that they too will rejoice in Your Hand that reaches us for whatever our needs. And we have many. We have spirits that are dry and in need of refreshing; we have souls with weaknesses and sins and we cry out to You to come correct us and save us from ourselves; and we praise You that You are able and willing.  Thank You, ABBA.  And we come with our sick and afflicted asking for healing. Asking for safety for brothers and sisters traveling today, particularly a choir group in transit now. And we forget not Israel, praying for peace and safety and our own Nation, ABBA, many needs here. Thank You that Your Hand is not too short and thank You that YOUR STRENGTH is our JOY in JESUS Name.  Amen and amen.

Momma

Gallery 2 Comments

It is Friday afternoon – Mother’s Day weekend – and I am thinking of you all; wishing for you a weekend  of peace.

Mother’s Day weekends offer challenges when Mommas are not here to share the day with you.

I am missing mine. I miss her smile. And yet on the screen of my mind I still see that mischievous grin. I miss the vegetable beef soup she would make for me when I was sick. I miss my head in her lap for comfort. And those memories – I choose for them to comfort me and they do.

This is Momma and Daddy before I was born. Perhaps I am prejudice but I think they are more than beautiful! It’s been a very long time since I have seen Daddy. He went to heaven when I was 16; but I will see him again. And January 31, 2009, Momma joined him. I think they are smiling like that again. They were each others’ love of life.

One more picture and I’ll wrap this up. It’s Momma in 2007.

Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise),
3 so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.
via Ephesians 6:1-3 NASB – Family Relationships – Children, obey – Bible Gateway.

Proverbs 4:2-4 The Message (MSG)
1-2 Listen, friends, to some fatherly advice; sit up and take notice so you’ll know how to live.
I’m giving you good counsel;
don’t let it go in one ear and out the other.
3-9 When I was a boy at my father’s knee,
the pride and joy of my mother,
He would sit me down and drill me:
“Take this to heart. Do what I tell you—live!
Sell everything and buy Wisdom! Forage for Understanding!
Don’t forget one word! Don’t deviate an inch!
Never walk away from Wisdom—she guards your life;
love her—she keeps her eye on you.
Above all and before all, do this: Get Wisdom!
Write this at the top of your list: Get Understanding!
Throw your arms around her—believe me, you won’t regret it;
never let her go—she’ll make your life glorious.
She’ll garland your life with grace,
she’ll festoon your days with beauty.”
via Proverbs 4:2-4 MSG – Your Life Is at Stake – Listen, – Bible Gateway.

Thank You, ABBA, for placing me with just the parents You did. Thank You for the years we had together and for eternity that is yet to be. And I pray for each one who comes here to read and to pray, for those whose Mother is absent I pray for peace and comfort and for those yet privileged to have her with them I pray for wisdom and discernment to redeem the time. We are continuing to remember many, asking You to heal our sick and afflicted and to rescue the rebellious. You know the matters on each heart represented here; thank You for the good and gracious acts You do on our behalf, ABBA, in JESUS name.  Amen and      .
