Lovingkindness

Gallery 1 Comment

Psalm 136.

The Lovingkindness Psalm

26 verses and 26 times we read:

For His lovingkindness is everlasting

Another translation (21st Century King James) reads – 26 times:

for His mercy endureth for ever

If you have not read this Psalm lately, HERE is a link for your convenience to read it.

Even in the Hebrew lovingkindness pretty much means what you think – mercy, grace, love, kindness – all that in GOD proportion!! AWESOME!!

As I was reviewing the Hebrew word from which we derive our word ‘lovingkindness’ I noticed one of the characteristics of lovingkindness is “deeds of devotion”. 

Daily, forever, EVERLASTINGly  GOD does DEEDS OF DEVOTION toward us!! Even a secular dictionary gives devotion as this: Love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person

Think of it!

GOD ALMIGHTY is enthusiastic about His devotion to YOU today! 

And today and forever – everlastingly

for YOU – every man, woman, boy and girl who has come to Him placing faith and trust in His SON, JESUS CHRIST, HE will be doing Deeds of Devotion – Deeds of Lovingkindness for YOU – today!

Would you, would I commit ourselves to looking for those deeds today and give Him praise for doing so?!

23 Who remembered us in our low estate,

For His lovingkindness is everlasting,

24 And has rescued us from our adversaries,

For His lovingkindness is everlasting;

25 Who gives food to all flesh,

For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

26 Give thanks to the God of heaven,

For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

ABBA, again today we give You praise for what You have done and are doing for Noah and his family. Thank You for Your lovingkindness to him. And I praise You, LORD, for the others, for the lovingkindness You are doing for them. And Richard comes to mind in this moment so I know You desire that we pray for him  –  You know his condition. The infection that has become so stubborn and relentless, wrecking havoc on his body. I am asking You, ABBA Father, to remove the infection completely from all his cells and tissues and for You to set him on his feet again; to restore him to his wife, family and friends who love him so much.  And there are others, so we come bringing all our sick and afflicted to You this day, asking that You heal them. Asking too that You rescue our rebellious and oblivious Ones; that You have mercy and give the grace and space to repent; that You woo them with Your lovingkindness, showing them the misery of their ways and turn their eyes and hearts to Your better way.  All this we ask, ABBA, in the Mighty and Holy Name of JESUS, Your Son and our Savior and LORD. And, ABBA, I dare not forget to pray for the peace of Israel and the subduing of all Her enemies and, ABBA, for each and every Dear Soul who comes here to read and pray today, I ask for grace for each of them to see and experience Your lovingkindness; for them to experience YOU today, to enjoy Your Company; that we will give You pleasure today, that we will bless You and bring smiles to Your Face and Laughter to You Holy Voice as You sing over us today.  Amen and amen.

Small Beginnings

The first week is closing. Obviously, I have not found our groove yet, evidenced by a lack of posting – :) – nor a balance between accomplishments and going with the flow BUT we have had a good time!! And there have been some teachable moments.

Small Beginnings

Zechariah 4:7-9 The Message (MSG)

5-7The Messenger-Angel said, “Can’t you tell?”

“No, sir,” I said.

Then he said, “This is God’s Message to Zerubbabel: ‘You can’t force these things. They only come about through my Spirit,’ says God-of-the-Angel-Armies. ‘So, big mountain, who do you think you are? Next to Zerubbabel you’re nothing but a molehill. He’ll proceed to set the Cornerstone in place, accompanied by cheers: Yes! Yes! Do it!'”

8-10After that, the Word of God came to me: “Zerubbabel started rebuilding this Temple and he will complete it. That will be your confirmation that God-of-the-Angel-Armies sent me to you. Does anyone dare despise this day of small beginnings? They’ll change their tune when they see Zerubbabel setting the last stone in place!”

Going back to the vision, the Messenger-Angel said, “The seven lamps are the eyes of God probing the dark corners of the world like searchlights.”

via Zechariah 4:7-9 MSG – The Messenger-Angel said, “Can’t – Bible Gateway.

Small Beginnings.

Don’t think I will be foolish enough to despise them.

How about you?

Prayers coveted.

Hopefully, see you Monday!! :)

P.S. this is not an endorsement for The Message paraphrase — please daily read a good Translation of the Scriptures.

Father, thank You for this place to gather and I pray we are praying one for another. I pray we will not let the most important matters to life slip this summer – conversing and listening to YOU. As often we bring our sick and afflicted asking You to heal them. Sheila immediately comes to mind – thank You for her still-in-progress recovery – may today be a good and productive day for her. And there are others: Kerri, Dori, Noah, and others; each precious and in need of strength, wisdom, discernment, and encouragement, as they are desiring healthy bodies. And then the prodigals – truthfully, even needier than the sick – thank You for not giving up on them, help us not lose faith, ABBA. Thank You for keeping on with them and us in JESUS’ name. amen and amen.

I’m In From The Yard

still have garden soil beneath my nails – even with gloves on it still finds its way in – and before I set to do anything further I wanted to say hello to you, my Friends. It will be a short visit this morning; thought I might just share pics of some of the things that have been occupying me this morning.

I was thrilled to see yellow blooms  

Still enjoying my Easter Lilies

Strawberries!!! And the flavor oh my word!

Here’s hoping for cascading flowers before long!

Just pretty I think – forget the name.

Genesis 8:21-22 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
21 The Lord smelled the soothing aroma; and the Lord said to Himself, “I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done.

22 “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest,
And cold and heat, And summer and winter,
And day and night Shall not cease.”
via Genesis 8:21-22 NASB – The LORD smelled the soothing aroma; – Bible Gateway.

ABBA, thank You for the morning of enjoyable ‘work’. Thank You for seed-time and harvest and You know I so desire a harvest of melons for sure; tomatoes would be appreciated too and some basil. Thank You, ABBA, for loving us so much. Thank You for each dear Friend who comes here to read and pray. I ask You to fill them with Your Love and Joy with purpose and vision for the life You desire them to live. Thank You for Your tender watch care over Sheila and we continue to ask for a complete healing. And we are remembering Noah and I am so ashamed I forgot his name but I know You know exactly who I am thinking of and his precious family too as they have all these matters concerning his medical condition and Rick and Cindy and Gay comes to mind too whatever the hard thing; Dori and her pending surgery. ABBA, once and for all could we be done with these surgeries, could there be a physician/surgeon who could do it right and she could heal and be restore? Please do this for Dori I pray. And there are others, Kathleen, and Kelley and Vikki, matters of grave conditions, physically and spiritually – heal our sick and rescue the rebellious is our continually prayer. And in our praying we present ourselves to serve, ABBA, however You will in JESUS Name.  Amen and     .
