Storms & Smiles

Psalm 57 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

2 (1) Show me favor, God, show me favor; for in you I have taken refuge. Yes, I will find refuge in the shadow of your wings until the storms have passed.
3 (2) I call to God, the Most High, to God, who is accomplishing his purpose for me.

via Ps 57 KJV;CJB – Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful – Bible Gateway.

Until the storm passes by – a refuge in the storm.

Yes, may each of us find refuge in the Shadow of His wings until the storms have passed.

And what of storms?
They are scary and yet a peculiar excitement captivates us when they come. It’s the power, I think. Even the beauty of them. There was one in particular. I watched safely from the floor of my kitchen through the patio door. HE was with me. Yes. He is indeed our Refuge in storms.

But there’s more: Verse 3

The storms come to accomplish His purpose in us. And perhaps as we accept Him as our refuge His purposes become clear.  Or not. And if not — we still have the refuge! :) 

Enjoy the video — if you like Southern Gospel. :) And if not – perhaps I’ll catch you next with some Third Day or Toby Mac. :)

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

Thank You, ABBA, for calling us to Yourself – our Place of Refuge. And there’s a dear family in need of You; and again, I ask You for a textbook perfect surgical procedure for Josh and a complete recovery. And Jamie and Terri, Kerri, Dori, Lance, Carol, Rick and Others. Thank You for taking our petitions, LORD JESUS, and presenting them to ABBA just the right way. And, ABBA, Some One’s dear Face I see in this moment; heal her heart and, HOLY SPIRIT, help her take refuge in You even now in this moment. And there’s Another and Another, it’s like their souls are hemorrhaging; please help them agree to let You stop the bleeding. Bleeding. I still see the picture – 26 weeks. Judge thinks he has legal grounds so no it’s not murder. You know differently, I agree with You. Forgive Him, LORD,have mercy; give grace and space to repent. Grace and space for many repentance[s], I pray. Awaken us, ABBA. Peace and protection for Israel I pray; revival for the proud Church; and Your comforting and strengthening Presence for the Persecuted Church and many more things that come to this place in the minds of each Reader – bless them, strengthen them, empower them to believe and receive in JESUS’ name. Amen and amen.

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.

Matthew 16:24 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

24 Then Jesus said unto His disciples, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.

via Matthew 16:24 KJ21;CJB – Then Jesus said unto His disciples, – Bible Gateway.

My beloved and I visited Daphne Methodist Church last night to experience a message in music and drama prepared by the Youth there. And for sure I received a message. Please allow me to share it with you this morning. We were well into the program when these words were sung:

And I’ll, I’ll follow You into the homes of the broken
I’ll follow You into the world
I’ll meet the needs for the poor and the needy, God, I’ll follow You into the world
Read more: LEELAND – FOLLOW YOU LYRICS

The message was clear. It was reassuring. It was encouraging. It was correcting.

I’ll follow You.

We the children (disciples) of JESUS are not alone in this mission of ‘going about doing good’. We are not expected; moreover we are commanded to NOT  answer the knock of ministry opportunities down avenues that HE has not already walked to prepare the way.  HE said FOLLOW ME. Not strike out on your own. Not work yourself into it. Not figure this out and do it. NO.

FOLLOW ME.

I hope you are getting this picture with me. The Savior-King is the LEADER when we go to the homes of the broken. When we go to homeless; the poor and needy; the rich and famous; we are FOLLOWING. I hope this picture comforts you and encourages you and yes corrects you even as it has me. It is a tender, tender Word to the CHURCH; and, yes, perhaps a rebuke – but a tender, sweet one that I dearly treasure.

Matthew 28:20 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

20 . . . And remember! I will be with you always, yes, even until the end of the age.”

via Matthew 28:20 KJ21;CJB – teaching them to observe all things – Bible Gateway.

And let me add as I believe it is implied: to the four corners of the earth too.

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

Thank You, ABBA. Thank You, HOLY SPIRIT, for speaking to us; for encouraging us, for correcting us. Thank You, YESHUA, for being our Savior, our King, our Leader, our Teacher; the One who leads. Help us follow. Help us follow You to the people of the world to show them You love them and You are able and willing to give them Life, eternal life.
Thank You, ABBA. Thank You. And thank You for Jamie’s first chemo treatment; thank You that she is leaving the hospital today. Thank You. And we ask for more. For the chemo to do its job with as little harm to healthy cells and as little unpleasantness as possible. And I ask this for Terri too; that chemo will begin timely and do the work intended with as little unpleasantness as possible. I ask for continued healing ministry to Lance. Adalynn. Dylan. Kerri. Dori. Alyssa. and Others as named by those praying here too.Thank You for hearing our prayers. Thank You for answering them perfectly, ABBA, in JESUS’ name.
