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.

Shalom Shoes

Gallery Leave a comment

I was nearing home from a morning walk when a gentle picture made itself to home in my mind: me, just inside the door – oh the relief and pleasantness of kicking off my shoes. And on the very heels (pun intended) of that came a Scripture phrase: feet shod. You know the verse, don’t you? Having our feet shod with the preparation of the gospel. At least that is the way I remembered it. Then to find it.

Here’s the KJV. The translation we memorized, right? :)

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

via Ephesians 6:14-16 KJV;CJB – Stand therefore, having your loins girt – Bible Gateway.

And another phrasing:

15 and wear on your feet the readiness that comes from the Good News of shalom.

via Ephesians 6:14-16 KJV;CJB – Stand therefore, having your loins girt – Bible Gateway.

Let us yield not to the temptation of kicking off our Shalom Shoes. Times come when we picture it so pleasant to kick them off to give that certain someone a piece of our mind. Don’t do it! (Notice I did not say the Mind of Christ – we always need to give HIS MIND.) So lets keep those shoes on until we get all the way home to rest at the feet of JESUS.

Thank You, ABBA. For strength to walk, not just on this sod but with Your Spirit; thank You that You enable us to keep our shoes on even when kicking them off for the moment would seem much more pleasant. Thank You for profound lessons in simple matters. I ask You to strengthen, comfort, heal and make whole my brothers and sisters all around the globe praying in Yeshua’s name for Your intervention. Thank You for Your perfect answers for us all.

50th day of 2014 – 50th day?? Already? And what have I done??

A Quick Hello, Christian Living

Not in Vain

So having penned all he penned; the surety of the resurrection of Jesus, the surety that we too will be raised, that death and sin will be swallowed up in victory, let us do this:

58 So, my dear brothers, stand firm and immovable, always doing the Lord’s work as vigorously as you can, knowing that united with the Lord your efforts are not in vain.

via 1 Corinthians 15 KJV;CJB – Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you – Bible Gateway.

Our efforts are not in vain. Your efforts are not in vain. Press on my Friend.

Thank You, ABBA, our efforts are not in vain. Vigorously as I can. Fine tune that within me I pray. And not just me but every soul who reads and agrees.

And on this 49th day of 2014, let us vigorously pursue loving Him and one another,

Kathie

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,

Kathie
