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.

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.

2 Timothy 1

14 Keep safe the great treasure that has been entrusted to you, with the help of the Ruach HaKodesh, [HOLY SPIRIT] who lives in us.

via 2 tim 1 KJV;CJB – Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the – Bible Gateway. [in brackets – mine]

In our Text Paul was instructing Timothy to keep safe the great treasure entrusted to him. What was that great treasure?

Let us turn to 2 Corinthians 4, we will find additional light there.

2 Corinthians 4:6-8

6 For it is the God who once said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has made his light shine in our hearts, the light of the knowledge of God’s glory shining in the face of the Messiah Yeshua.
7 But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it will be evident that such overwhelming power comes from God and not from us.

via 2 Corinthians 4:6-8 KJV;CJB – For God, who commanded the light to – Bible Gateway.

The faith you have that JESUS is the CHRIST; your Savior, the Savior of the world is a GIFT. A most precious gift; a treasure.  Guard your treasure.  Keep the faith!! At ALL cost keep THE FAITH. The HOLY SPIRIT will help you – lean on Him; submit to Him. Words for you. Words for me.

And as Paul was wrapping up the Words given him by the HOLY SPIRIT to write to Timothy and to us, he said:

2 Timothy 4

7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

via 2 Timothy 4:7 KJV;CJB – I have fought a good fight, I have – Bible Gateway.

May we in truth when the time comes, say the same.

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

Thank You, ABBA, for speaking. Thank You for illuminating us. Thank You for giving and preserving Your Word even to this generation. Help us to hid Your Word in our hearts so we will be able to share It with the world in JESUS’ name. 
And as other times we come with our requests for healing(s) of those we name now in our hearts. And we lift all our cares to You and we thank You for providing wisdom, solutions, provisions, and every good and perfect gift we need to do this life well. Thank You, ABBA Father.

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.
