I have no explanation. It just does. This verse I mean. It settles soft and warm upon me (bold and underline emphasis mine).

11 They sang antiphonally, praising and giving “thanks to Adonai, for he is good, for his grace continues forever” toward Isra’el. All the people raised a great shout of praise to Adonai, because the foundation of the house of Adonai had been laid.  

via Ezra 3:10-12 KJ21;CJB – And when the builders laid the – Bible Gateway.

And I continued to read. Job 38 and 39.

4 “Where were you when I founded the earth? Tell me, if you know so much.
5 Do you know who determined its dimensions or who stretched the measuring line across it?
6 On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone,
7 when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

via Job 38; 39 CJB;KJ21 – Then ADONAI answered Iyov out of the – Bible Gateway.

Do you recognize the passage? Job had been mouthing his case before Jehovah and ABBA responded. I, personally, recognize the tone. I shall spare you the details. Even so, as our initial verse promises GOD is forever good. And don’t you love the black and white clarity of Who it is that brought about this planet upon which we reside?

And one more. I just can’t leave this one out?

36 “Who put wisdom in people’s inner parts? Who gave understanding to the mind?

via Job 38; 39 CJB;KJ21 – Then ADONAI answered Iyov out of the – Bible Gateway.

A Blessed weekend, my Friends,

ABBA, thank You for Your Word. Thank You for wisdom; thank You for planting Your Wisdom within our inner parts. Thank You for bringing this planet to be; for setting boundaries and laws in place so we can learn to love You. Thank You that You are forever good and Your grace does not depart from us. Thank You.
Terri. Thank You for Your Hand of mercy and healing upon her. Thank You for the plans You have for her; You know each need; you know the cry of our hearts; we trust You. Mission trips scheduled, just days away. So many needs, ABBA. Safe passage to and from; Your anointing upon Your servants and the people to hear and believe; health; protection; favor; supplies; climate; housing; food; water; insects; unfriendly creatures; in total, ABBA, every detail perfected to bring glory to Yourself and people to JESUS that is my prayer.
And as other times, for each Reader to be encouraged as they visit here; to know Your Presence; to discern Your Will for them and with a willing and cheerful heart, obey. Ray. Thank You for allowing us to remember him as he grieves; again we pray for his heavy, heavy heart to heal. Stephanie. It’s a load and yet You are faithful. Thank You, ABBA. Leslie. Continuing to ask that You heal her. Dori. Kerri. Pam. Joy. Norman. Pat. Each we bring in like manner as the four brought their friend to You and we ask You to heal them. Thank You, LORD JESUS. Amen and amen.

Continuing to look at verses of Scripture containing the word foundation is prompting today’s post.

Exodus 9:17-19 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

(vii) 17 Since you are still setting yourself up against my people and not letting them go, 18 tomorrow, about this time, I will cause a hailstorm so heavy that Egypt has had nothing like it from the day it was founded until now. 19 Therefore, send and hurry to bring indoors all your livestock and everything else you have in the field. For hail will fall on every human being and animal left in the field that hasn’t been brought home, and they will die.”’”

via Exodus 9:17-19 CJB – (vii) Since you are still setting – Bible Gateway.

And who of us does not see GRACE in the Old Testament? This passage was addressed to the Pharaoh and was delivered by Moses. I encourage you to read the whole of Exodus 9. Particularly verse 8 – ashes from the kiln. If you don’t think GOD is awesome, you don’t know Him! Back to today’s point. GRACE.

Grace in the Old Testament. As I said this passage was at the time addressed to the Pharaoh (and now we have it for our learning – I am so glad!). The vile man who refused again and again to let Israel go. And yet GOD gave an OUT to ANY who would listen! That is grace, my Friends! Our GOD is the AWESOME GOD of Grace in the Old Covenant and the New Covenant.

ABBA, thank You. Thank You for Your Word that reveals Your Grace to us. Grace in a place that some have accused You of having none; thank You that You have revealed truth.
And in particular I asked in a certain place that truth be revealed today. Thank You for knowing, ABBA. Thank You for taking us back again today to the word foundation. Help us build well today on The Foundation of Life.
And for each Reader coming to this page, I pray for truth to be revealed and Your Grace to be experienced; grace that will lead to softened hearts; hearts that will gladly yield to You; for in yielding to You, ABBA, we are truly free.
I pray for comfort, for helps of every kind and sort, for healings of illnesses, diseases, and broken hearts as needed for each dear Soul gathering here. And I pray for the rescue of children in and out of wombs, for the bondage of sex trafficking to be broken and destroyed, for the protection and peace of Israel, for the repentance and restoration of America and for the Bride of CHRIST to bow before You and receive strength and Will to rise to her feet and tell Your GOOD NEWS. Amen and amen.

Yesterday we looked at the word foundation. And today, ABBA, has us looking at feet. And perhaps asking are our feet taking us to places of peace? Are our feet taking us to places to deliver His Gospel of Good News to all Peoples? 

ABBA, thank You for precious feet. Thank You for The Sure Foundation You laid from before the foundation of the world. Thank You, LORD YESHUA, for being our Foundation upon which You build beautiful lives. HOLY SPIRIT, help us yield to You for the building of our lives. And help us take responsibility for making sure our feet are shod with the preparation of Your Gospel and that we carry Your GOOD NEWS to all the people.
Again this morning I am remembering Leslie and asking that You reveal the cause and give the doctors a remedy for her pain. Terri and her family – I pray for healing; for lives to be made whole. And Others. Many Others. Emotional wounds – those inflicted with malice and those by neglect and preoccupation with other matters.  Chaotic lives that need the Gospel of Peace. Right decisions that are hard decisions. And thank You(s) for jobs well done. And Praise for abundant blessings. Praises that You work all things for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purposes.  Ray – grieving, not to circumvent his grief, ABBA, but that his grieving will bring his focus to You and what is his remaining mission; I pray he come to see that before too long. And for each Reader here I pray we all will take note of our feet today; that we choose carefully where we walk. And all this we bring in JESUS name. Amen and amen.
