Sausage and Hash Browns

If you have been a Reader of The White Stone (IDOK Devotions) for a while you know my Life verses are Psalm 145:17 & 18.

17 Adonai is righteous in all his ways, full of grace in all he does.
18 Adonai is close to all who call on him, to all who sincerely call on him.

via Ps 145 CJB – Praise. By David: I will praise you to – Bible Gateway.

And as I was reading them just now I read the surrounding verses too.

Look at this:

15 The eyes of all are looking to you; you give them their food at the right time. 16 You open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

via Ps 145 CJB – Praise. By David: I will praise you to – Bible Gateway.

There’s a promise there. All those looking to ABBA, HE will give them their food at the right time. I’m believing that FOOD is more than just sausage and hash browns. I am believing that FOOD is EVERYTHING we need to NOURISH our body, soul and spirit. And, also, HE will give whatever is needed for body, soul and spirit On Time. Reminds me of a song. He’s an On Time GOD.  Hmm wonder if I could find a you tube of that song. :)

But there’s more. He has an open Hand. Did you see that? Our ABBA has an open Hand, NOT a clenched fist!! His Hand is open to satisfy us! So will we dare say to ourselves: if we are not satisfied, perhaps we have a clenched fist rather than an open hand to receive from His Open Hand.

Something to ponder.

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

I like this, ABBA. Thank You. You are GOD and You are ON TIME ALWAYS! That’s particularly important to this little girl who is often late. :) I love You, ABBA. Thank You for being You. And for having perfect humor with us. Thank You that Jamie was at service last night at church. Thank You for what You are doing for her and I am asking You again to heal her in Your On Time time. And I am praying you will heal Terri and Lance too. And just now I am reminded again of Carol. I still don’t know just how to pray about her medical situation; even so I am bringing her again to You for help and for Your Will for her. Oh yes, and Rick the cancer is defeating his body, ABBA; I pray that even though his outward man is perishing that his inner man will prosper and be rich and in full health. I pray for peace and comfort for his beloved family and friends. And there are many other matters vying for attention in my prayer closet; I rest easy that You are privy to all and willing to handle it all, so I just ask HOLY SPIRIT that the wills of people will soften and bend; they need Your help to do that and that is my prayer that they will. And for each Reader who comes to this page, I pray for them too; I suspect if I knew I would find varied needs and seasons of life; but this I know, ABBA, whatever the need, whatever the season, whatever the fear or lack; YOU are the Provider; You are the solution, You are the Answer; I pray they will believe and receive in YESHUA’s Name. amen and amen.

Psalm 96 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

96 Sing to Adonai a new song! Sing to Adonai, all the earth!
2 Sing to Adonai, bless his name! Proclaim his victory day after day!
3 Declare his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples!

via Ps 96 KJV;CJB – O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing – Bible Gateway.

Proclaim His victory day after day!

Do I?

Day after day does my life proclaim that YESHUA, JESUS the CHRIST, arose from the dead; has overcome death, the world, hell and the grave?

Does it?  I must answer that. Perhaps you must too.

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

ABBA, thank You for speaking. LORD JESUS, thank You for Your victory; thank You for allowing and enabling us to proclaim Your victory day after day. Help us be faithful. We continue to remember Jamie asking that You heal her; and Lance too and Others named in our respective hearts. We continue to remember Boston and West Texas, Texas – thank You for that Samaritan’s Purse is on sight helping. I pray every resource they need will be available timely. I pray for hearts to be comforted; for souls and bodies to be healed and spirits to be made alive in You Christ JESUS. Remember Israel for peace and protection; remember America for conviction and salvation, I pray. Revival us HOLY SPIRIT. And around the world I pray for the persecuted Church – for the Joy of Your Presence and strength meet for each day. Forgive us, have mercy on us and revive us, ABBA, for JESUS sake. Amen and amen.

Equanimity

John 14 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

14 “Don’t let yourselves be disturbed. Trust in God and trust in me.
via John 14 KJV;CJB – Let not your heart be troubled: ye – Bible Gateway.

Don’t let yourselves be disturbed. 

LET.

What a word! Three little letters telling me I have a choice! I have a choice to be not disturbed. What is disturbed, anyway?

The King James Version uses the word troubled. Either way. It is something we do not want to be but I can truthfully say, “been there; done that”.

We could say disturbed is to:

to cause one inward commotion, take away his calmness of mind, disturb his equanimity
to strike one’s spirit with fear and dread
to render anxious or distressed
via Tarasso – New Testament Greek Lexicon – King James Version.

But how, YESHUA, the Disciples might have been thinking. How can I be not disturbed when You have told us You are leaving? You have just said that Peter is going to deny You before daybreak.

How can you and I not be disturbed? How can our equanimity not evaporate in this world? Yesterday’s media was filled with news of the terrorist attack in Boston. Is that and a host of other things not grounds for being disturbed? Actually to the flesh yes it is!  BUT GOD.

YESHUA said:

14 “. . .Trust in God and trust in me.
via John 14 KJV;CJB – Let not your heart be troubled: ye – Bible Gateway.

John 16:33 “I have said these things to you so that, united with me, you may have shalom [peace]. In the world, you have tsuris [trouble]. But be brave! I have conquered the world!”
via John 16 KJV;CJB – These things have I spoken unto you, – Bible Gateway. [bracket added- mine]

Choose to TRUST. And believe me, it takes practice but more than that it takes the HOLY SPIRIT within to make it happen and He will as we choose to TRUST. Sometimes it is moment by moment.

I have more good news! Alyssa is back to a normal 10-year-old!! Even had a friend over for a sleepover recently!  Praise the LORD with me for what HE has done for Alyssa and her family. And give HIM praise for skilled doctors and staff!!

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

Thank You, ABBA, for what You did for Alyssa and her family. Thank You. And HOLY SPIRIT, it is my prayer that Alyssa will give You glory, will love You, and honor and TRUST You always; she and her family.
Terrorist attacks, ABBA. Did not take You by surprise. We acknowledge sin has so corrupted Your World; have mercy and forgive us; thank You that THE DAY is coming when You will set all things right. In the meantime, we choose to TRUST You. Thank You for helping us do that. And for the families of the dead, we pray for help and comfort; for the injured, we pray for healing. Thank You, HOLY SPIRIT, for being right there giving comfort and help and yes even protection and safety. Thank You for the thousands who were not injured or killed. And, ABBA, I ask You to expose and bring to arrest those who did this. The TEXT is a good lesson for today, ABBA. Thank You. Let us not forfeit our equanimity but rather TRUST You always; Your perfect love and holiness. We continue to ask for healing for Jamie and Terri and Lance and help and comfort for their families. And there are others we enintrust to You whose names we hold in our hearts; there are tasks to do, help us do them well for Your glory. Amen and amen in Your MIGHTY Name LORD YESHUA.

1 John 1:21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

via 1 John 1:8-10 KJ21;CJB – If we say that we have no sin, we – Bible Gateway.

Anybody just want to say thank You for this truth?!

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness?

Anybody getting this with me? Repentance and confession = CLEAN!

And those mercies for cleansing are new this morning (Lamentations 3:21-23) and late at night too! :)

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

ABBA, thank You for Your mercy that cleanses us from ALL unrighteousness. Thank You that Your Blood, LORD JESUS, is enough to cleanse the chief of sinners. Thank You that You answer our prayers; and thank You that sometimes Your answer is No.
Thank You that Jamie is home eating and enjoying her family. Still we ask that You heal her; that chemo be successful with minimal side effects. And I ask this for Terri too. Lift up the families of these I pray. Thank You that Dylan is doing so much better. I pray for continued healing and a full recovery soon. Heal Leon too I pray. And I am continuing to ask for miracles of needed kinds for Others and Kerri. Dori. Lance, Adalynn, Alyssa. Anna. And for Debbie – textbook perfect surgery on Wednesday and a full recovery I pray. And just general stuff for families – life seems really hard, ABBA, help us to be not despondent and discouraged but rather believe You for victory for our children and grandchildren. And, ABBA, I pray for kindness in the CHURCH and help for grieving parents – The Warrens particularly come to mind. And, ABBA, Another comes to mind and I ask You to comfort her. Many troubles, all around; we just ask for help to live victoriously – cleansed of all our unrighteousness for JESUS sake. And I would not forget Israel: peace, protection and the subduing of her enemies I pray. And for America, my first request is that You pour out HOLY SPIRIT conviction and that a wave of repentance would sweep this land from shore to shore.
