Hold On Room

First thing in my journal this morning was a request for help.

And the first Scripture I read was this:

13 For I, Yahweh your God, hold your right hand and say to you: Do not fear, I will help you.

via Is 41 HCSB – The LORD versus the Nations’ Gods – Bible Gateway.

Not all answers and assurances come that quickly but when they do the proper response is gratitude and holding on to the promise. I’m  delighted to share my Scripture with you this morning and there is plenty of hold on room for you too.

I know. Some answers are long in coming. And when they are our response must be the same: gratitude and holding on to the promises. 

Hold on today! Or perhaps it is one of those days when you just can’t hold on? That’s okay.  LET Him hold YOU today.

Praying for sisters and brothers to LET Jesus hold them today.

ABBA, thank You. You are awesome. You listen. You hear. And You answer when Your children call. Thank You for answering our fears with Your very own voice. And You say do not fear, I will help you. And there is nothing too small or too large. You help with it all. Thank You. Dawn. Help her today do all that demands to be done. And there are others. Many others, ABBA. Thank You for helping us. Thank You in JESUS name.

Blessings to you Dear Friends    +++

Remember YOU have the God-given RIGHT to do right in this wrong world!

Two Things

Two quick things this morning.

One.  A prayer theme for today.

Equal Awakenings

Awakenings equal to the needs and messes in our lives and the lives of those we love and are trying to love.

Two. A Scripture to carry with us today:

20 Guard me and deliver me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.
21 May integrity and what is right watch over me, for I wait for You.

via Ps 25 HCSB – Psalm 25 Dependence on the LORD – Bible Gateway.

ABBA, thank You for always hearing our prayers. Lee and every soul affected. Israel. America. The election. Equal awakenings, ABBA, for each of us and for every one we hold dear and especially for those we are trying to hold dear.  Thank You for this word from Your WORD. Help us hold it dear and be guided and guarded by remembering and applying it this day. We invite and even expect You to watch over us today, guarding, correcting, loving, providing, forgiving, and growing us in the likeness of JESUS today.

Blessings to you Dear Friends    +++

A Busy Week

here at the Thompson house. Good things but not much time for writing here at The White Stone.

Tomorrow is final night for ACES, Fall Session. Luke is our Man for study.

Luke holds a very important verse for me.

Luke 24:50 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

50 And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

via Luke 24:50 NASB – The Ascension – And He led them out as – Bible Gateway.

My Baby Girl is named from this verse. The place of JESUS’ Ascension to Heaven after His Resurrection.

And how about the following verses?

51 While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.
52 And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 and were continually in the temple praising God.

via Luke 24 NASB – The Resurrection – But on the first day – Bible Gateway.

And Luke’s continues recording – penning of the WORD as dictated by the HOLY SPIRIT in the Book of The ACTS.

In the first chapter of ACTS, the LORD gives parting words and instructions and then it reads:

9 And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them.
11 They also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

via Acts 1 NASB – Introduction – The first account I – Bible Gateway.

HE will come again.

Be encouraged. HE will come again!

Blessings to you Dear Friends    +++

Remember YOU have the God-given RIGHT to do right in this wrong world!

HOLY SPIRIT, as they come here to read and as they read, I ask that You speak individually to them in these verses, speaking the WORD to each as they need. Open our eyes in a deeper way to the glory of Your Ascension, LORD JESUS, and Your Return for us and the commission You commanded until You return for us.
