It’s a Pretty World Today

ABBA, for sure You made a pretty world; a world for us to inhabit, a world to demonstrate who You are; help us open our eyes and see. Help us open our ears and hear; to be taught as You speak not only from Your Word and with the LIGHT of the world, JESUS the CHRIST, but all that You created. From this window I see You and You are awesome! Your knowledge and wisdom are beyond my comprehension but I praise You and rejoice in who You are. Your design, intricate workings of all things, one aiding the other, colors, air, sun, gravity, on and on. You are indeed GOD, Awesome GOD. Thank You for loving us. 

Psalm 19 (0) For the leader. A psalm of David:
(1) The heavens declare the glory of God,
the dome of the sky speaks the work of his hands.
(2) Every day it utters speech,
every night it reveals knowledge. [source]

Psalm 97

The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Adonai,
at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
The heavens declare his righteousness,
and all the peoples see his glory. [source]

Fear Not

9/11/2001 – 12 years ago.

Shocked and afraid. All we could think to do was pray. We did. And He heard.

Today.

I’m not so shocked.

Afraid? If I let myself – I am much afraid. I am told that not less than 365 times Father said do not be afraid. Surely He means it. So for a few moments, I have been reviewing some of those ‘fear not’ Scriptures.

Do you recall the story of Joseph? Sold into slavery by his brothers; redeemed by the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; elevated to second in command of all Egypt. And then his brothers went looking for bread. They found more than bread; they found grace. They found a ‘fear not’. How? Why? Look for yourselves. See Joseph choosing to be NOT in the place of GOD.

Genesis 50:18-20 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

18 and his brothers too came, prostrated themselves before him and said, “Here, we are your slaves.”

19 But Yosef said to them, “Don’t be afraid! Am I in the place of God?

20 You meant to do me harm, but God meant it for good — so that it would come about as it is today, with many people’s lives being saved.

Let all the men, women, and children of this world individually choose as Joseph did to be NOT their own GOD and surrender to the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and YESHUA; with that, our reasons for fear would all but disappear.  

No more 911s.

No more chemical weapons

No more slaughter of men, women, and children.

But alas that is not our world, is it? In this present world, there is slaughter and mass destruction – somewhere every day.

So how will you heed ABBA’s command to ‘fear not’?

Choose to be not our own GOD and surrender to the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and our Messiah Jesus the Christ.

On this anniversary of such an evil happening when those following after Satan brought death and destruction to our shores; You, ABBA, gave grace and mercy and life even in the midst of it all. We trust You to continue to bring good to Your people in the midst of this present evil. We pray now for the disarming of Syria and her allies. We pray for peace in the Middle East. We pray for peace in America. We pray for peace in the hearts of men, women, and children and we pray for holy soldiers to carry the message of salvation in CHRIST alone to any who will choose to hear.
