🕊️ Seeing the Invisible

Therefore we do not lose heart. 

Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Assurance of the Resurrection

For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 

For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. 

For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 

Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.🕊️

Hallelujah! 

Praise the name of the Lord, “JESUS!”

My Lord and Savior, My Redeemer, Mighty God, Counselor, my Best Friend!

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Hallelujah!

Jesus, my Lord and Savior, my Redeemer, bless me this day Lord, as I create this post to share with others, of the Hope of our Salvation through our Faith and Believing on Your Holy Name, Jesus. 

I pray today for a blessing of Your Holy Spirit, fill me with the strength I need to face my day, to meet the challenges before me, and maintain a disciplined mind and resolve through it all. I pray for the resolve, I pray for Your Spirit’s guidance.

Father, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they be safe today Lord, may Your Spirit protect them and lead them on the path towards the light, may they find comfort and Your presence working in their lives, in Jesus’ name, Amen! 

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 

But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 

For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 🕊️

🕊️ Jesus Warns of Offenses

Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! 

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. 

Take heed to yourselves. 

If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 

And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.” 🕊️

Faith and Duty

🕊️ And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. 

And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? 

But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? 

Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. 

So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. 

We have done what was our duty to do.’ ” 🕊️

Luke 17:1-10

May I walk in the light with You this day and may Your Holy Spirit fill my mind, heart, and soul with Love, Grace, Mercy, and Peace. 

Above all, may my life and walk, reflect my deep commitment to You and shinning Your light in the darkness around me, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Father, I lift up all my children before You, all my grandchildren, and their little ones, may You keep them safe today, may Your Spirit, Your Teacher, guide them in their walk of Faith along their life journey, may they be strengthened when they face life’s challenges and may Your Spirit give them Peace. 

May they sense Your presence in their lives and may they experience real Joy in the comfort of their salvation through Jesus Christ, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

🕊️ “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters;

And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat.

Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Why do you spend money for what is not bread,

And your wages for what does not satisfy?

Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,

And let your soul delight itself in abundance.

Incline your ear, and come to Me.

Hear, and your soul shall live;

And I will make an everlasting covenant with you. 🕊️

~~~

Seek the LORD while He may be found,

Call upon Him while He is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way,

And the unrighteous man his thoughts;

Let him return to the LORD,

And He will have mercy on him;

And to our God,

For He will abundantly pardon.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

So are My ways higher than your ways,

And My thoughts than your thoughts.

“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,

And do not return there, but water the earth,

And make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower

And bread to the eater,

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;

It shall not return to Me void,

But it shall accomplish what I please,

And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Father, the more I see and experience the light and what it takes to partake of it, and shine it outwardly myself, in and through my life, the more I realize how much I am lacking in my walk with You in my performance. 

This evening, I lift up my heart before You Father, may Your Spirit fill me with the blessing of True Love, Pure Love, the kind that makes the Light to truly “Shine”.

I hope and pray this hour, Lord, You make me an instrument of Your Love, Your Light in the world.

Father my heart is heavy for All my children All the time, and I pray for patience and strength to continue, every day and with every prayer, hoping You hear my petition for their well being and their walk with You.

Father, I lift them all up before You, all my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they come to the light and become Your Children, may they walk by Faith and the power of Your Love, moving  in and around them every day, bless them now Father, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be

added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. 🕊️

Father, I’m learning to enjoy the moment, appreciate the things and people in front of me, every day!

Just two weeks ago, our family pet, Simba, who has become a cherished member of our Family, stepped wrong while at the park and he ruptured his left rear ACL.

This has been a burden on our hearts, and a concern for us, because even though this is just a hurt dog, we see and experience Simba never once whined or complained, he just started limping, he just accepts it, and learns getting by on just what he has, he still has the normal energy and excitement when he is around us and our coming and going.

I was with him at the WSU animal hospital in Pullman, WA., where they assessed what it will take for him to be well again. 

Our family has already discussed how we are committed to our furry family member, and our prayers continue daily for his healing and for God’s Grace, Mercy, and Peace be upon Simba. 

Simba is like a light glowing along the path, where ever he goes, making people smile and happy to meet him. He is a blessing and example of how God, wants us to be, in the face of all our daily challenges, simply trusting the Lord in All things, and continually moving forward.

I pray Lord, that we might learn from Simba, and learn to be happy and content to be alive, enjoy each moment, while we have it. Father, may we shine Your light for others to see and follow, and not seek to shine our own light.

I lift up All my children before You Father, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they be safe today, may Your Spirit, Your Teacher, guide their way into the lightened path, and may they learn to follow the Way, and be as children of the light, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

🕊️ Love suffers long and is kind; 

🕊️ Love does not envy; 

🕊️ Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

🕊️ Love never fails. 

But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 

For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 

But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. 

Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is Love. 🕊️

Thank You Father, for my life!

🕊️ In Jesus’ name, Amen! 🕊️

🕊️ For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, 

“Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 

In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, 

“This cup is the new covenant in My blood. 

This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. 🕊️

The voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 🕊️

🕊️ “Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not bear the guilt of the father?’ 

Because the son has done what is lawful and right, and has kept all My statutes and observed them, he shall surely live. 

The soul who sins shall die. 

The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. 

The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

“But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 

None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. 

Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says the Lord GOD, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live?

“But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? 

All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die. 🕊️

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Bless me this day O Lord, as I kneel before You, I am mindful of all my sin and where i have failed You. 

My failure and my sin is forgiven and I am released from judgement, because I have let go and given my spirit, my soul, over to Jesus, and His Grace, Mercy, and Love, washes me clean.

Remind me this day, as it dawns again before me, to follow Your Way and Your Truth, not forsaking Your instructions for my life and the path of Faith I walk in today.

I am clean by the Blood of the Lamb, free from the pain of my past life and the weight of the sin which was before me, and since my conversion to a life of Faith, I am Free from the judgement which awaited me.

Father, my path of Faith and believing has led me to this day, this hour, where I now, in my later years, hold up All my children, my grandchildren, and their little ones, hoping and praying to You O Lord, for their conversion, for their eternal walk of Faith, that it may be established and secured, with a passion to follow the Spirit’s lead, in the path towards the light of Christ, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

Serving All Men

🕊️ For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you. 🕊️

Striving for a Crown

🕊️ Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. 🕊️

Father, another day of blessings! 🕊️

Lord, in your Word it gives the example of bringing one’s body into subjection in order to be disciplined, I pray this for All mankind, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, wake up the minds and hearts of man, to see following Your Word, and Your Way, is a discipline worthy of our doing, both for our physical wellbeing, but most importantly, doing it for our spiritual wellbeing. 

Bless me this day O Lord, fill me with Your Holy Spirit, today, that i might walk in the light with You and lead others onto the path, which is in their best interest.

Many are the days I’ve filled my mind and body with useless things and wasted my days, once my Faith had come to me, i have been filled ever since, with a drawing towards the light, to read the Word of God or spend dedicated time in prayer for my children and their lives, their spiritual wellbeing. 

I lift up All my children before You Lord, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, reach into their heart and minds today, show them Your Love, Mercy, and the Joy of their Salvation, may they walk by Faith today, being strengthened by Your Spirit, to run their race to win, and discipline their minds and bodies in service to You, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul.

O my God, I trust in You;

Let me not be ashamed;

Let not my enemies triumph over me.

Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed;

Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.

Show me Your ways, O LORD;

Teach me Your paths.

Lead me in Your truth and teach me,

For You are the God of my salvation;

On You I wait all the day.

Remember, O LORD, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses,

For they are from of old.

Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions;

According to Your mercy remember me,

For Your goodness’ sake, O LORD.

Good and upright is the LORD;

Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.

The humble He guides in justice,

And the humble He teaches His way.

All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth,

To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.

For Your name’s sake, O LORD,

Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

Who is the man that fears the LORD?

Him shall He teach in the way He chooses.

He himself shall dwell in prosperity,

And his descendants shall inherit the earth.

The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him,

And He will show them His covenant.

My eyes are ever toward the LORD,

For He shall pluck my feet out of the net. 🕊️

May Your Spirit bless them and keep them safe today, may they accept the gifts you have for each of them, may they walk in the path to the light, as Your dear children, and may they bring glory to Your holy name, Jesus Christ, Savior, and Lord of All.

Thank You Lord, for this blessing and a sense of Your Spirit’s presence within me, beside me, working through me, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 

Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 

Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. 🕊️

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Father, I praise Your Holy Name, Jesus, and I am blessed in the revelation of Your Word to my mind, always learning, always searching for a deeper meaning and message in Your Word, which I can apply in my life.

Today You’ve shown me in Your Word, it is not through Wisdom or Knowledge, I may attain a deeper walk and purpose in this life, as Your messenger, Your servant, rather coming into each day, as a sleepy child, humbly walking into class and welcomed by the Teacher, Your Holy Spirit, then guiding me in the Word, as if reading it or hearing it for the first time, then praying each passage might be a new revelation in my life and how I might serve You O Lord, how I might walk, by Faith, humbly before You, and All men.

 Bless my day Lord, may I walk by Faith and pray Your Spirit guide me as I follow the Way and shine my light, which You put inside of me, and shinning in the darkness around me.

Bless All my children this day O Lord, All my grandchildren and their little ones, may Your Spirit keep them safe today, guide them to Your light, reading Your Word, and following  the Way, may Your Love, mercy, and Grace surround them today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Jacob’s Vow at Bethel

Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. 

And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. 

Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: “I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. 

Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. 

Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.”

Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.” 

And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! 

This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!”

Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it. 

And he called the name of that place Bethel 🕊️

Father God, I praise You for the lessons I read in the bible, of the Roots and beginnings of our Faith. May I continue to read them and see the mighty blessings You bestowed upon the Israelite people. I pray my life and my heritage, my seed, will one day see or read my story, and be blessed by the mighty work You begun in my life and the years of transformation to the man that I am today. On this endeavor I pray for Your blessings as I write my story.

O Lord, I lift up All my children before You, my grandchildren and their little ones, may they find Your Word in their life and may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, bless them and keep them safe, may they learn of You and how to follow the Way, as Jesus instructed.

Give them Hope and Purpose in their lives when serving You Lord, in All things, in Love!

🕊️ Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes,

And I shall keep it to the end.

Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law;

Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Make me walk in the path of Your commandments,

For I delight in it.

Incline my heart to Your testimonies,

And not to covetousness.

Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things,

And revive me in Your way.

Establish Your word to Your servant,

Who is devoted to fearing You.

Turn away my reproach which I dread,

For Your judgments are good.

Behold, I long for Your precepts;

Revive me in Your righteousness.

Let Your mercies come also to me, O LORD

Your salvation according to Your word. 🕊️

I want to follow my Lord Jesus’ example and His Word, the importance of living and walking in Love, towards all people.

For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.

And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. 🕊️

Father, my heart goes out to all those who live in prisons around the world, suffering in silence, no end in sight for a trial or date to be heard, or if there may even be possible, a release from their suffering and pain. 

Lord, I lift up their households and those waiting for their loved ones to be released.

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Free from Indwelling Sin

🕊️ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 

For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 🕊️

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” 🕊️

🕊️ The Character of Those Who May Dwell with the LORD

A Psalm of David.

LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle?

Who may dwell in Your holy hill?

He who walks uprightly,

And works righteousness,

And speaks the truth in his heart;

He who does not backbite with his tongue,

Nor does evil to his neighbor,

Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;

In whose eyes a vile person is despised,

But he honors those who fear the LORD;

He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;

He who does not put out his money at usury,

Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things shall never be moved. 🕊️

Psalms 15:1-5

🕊️ Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;

To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

🕊️ But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. 

And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.

“Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come.

Your will be done

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, (trespasses)

As we forgive our debtors. (trespassers)

And do not lead us into temptation,

But deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen!

Life’s lessons:

I read a story this morning, about a blessing and appreciation, which can be both about the flesh and the spirit, and how one affects the other.

A father said to his son, “You graduated with honors. Here is a Volkswagen Beetle that I bought many years ago… It is over 50 years old, but before I give it to you, take it to a dealership downtown and ask how much they are offering you.”

The son went to the dealership, came back to his father and said, “They offered me $10,000 because it looks very used.” The father said, “Take it to a pawn shop.”

The son went to the pawn shop, came back and said, “They only offered me $1,000 because they say it is too old.”

Finally, the father asked his son to take the car to a classic car club and show it there. The son took the car to the club, came back and said, “Some people at the club offered me $100,000! because it is a very rare car and sought after among the members.”

The father said to his son, “I wanted you to understand that the right place appreciates you in the right way. If they don’t value you, don’t be angry, it just means you’re in the wrong place. Those who know your value are the ones who truly appreciate you. Never stay in a place where they don’t recognize your value!”

🕊️ Praise for the LORD’s Mercies

Bless the LORD, O my soul;

And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

Bless the LORD, O my soul,

And forget not all His benefits:

Who forgives all your iniquities,

Who heals all your diseases,

Who redeems your life from destruction,

Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

Who satisfies your mouth with good things,

So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The LORD executes righteousness

And justice for all who are oppressed.

He made known His ways to Moses,

His acts to the children of Israel.

The LORD is merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

He will not always strive with us,

Nor will He keep His anger forever.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins,

Nor punished us according to our iniquities.

For as the heavens are high above the earth,

So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

As far as the east is from the west,

So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

As a father pities his children,

So the LORD pities those who fear Him.

For He knows our frame;

He remembers that we are dust.

As for man, his days are like grass;

As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

For the wind passes over it, and it is gone,

And its place remembers it no more.

But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting

On those who fear Him,

And His righteousness to children’s children,

To such as keep His covenant,

And to those who remember His commandments to do them. 🕊️

🕊️ The Lesson of the Withered Fig Tree

And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither away so soon?”

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done. 

And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” 🕊️

Matthew 21:20-22

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is not good to eat much honey;

So to seek one’s own glory is not glory.

Whoever has no rule over his own spirit

Is like a city broken down, without walls.

(Proverbs 25:27-28)

Starving the Ego

Oh Lord, as I experience success in different ways, I pray I will always give You the glory. 

Keep my head level. Help me not to become bloated with pride and false importance. 

It is so easy to feed on the sweetness of compliments rather than on the hard kernels of Your truth.

God, build up my self-control so I am protected from the desire to stuff my ego with empty words. 

I pray that You see me as a person of substance and integrity. 

Let my honor come from my association with Jesus, the King of Kings!

This war of flesh and spirit wages on, but so does my morning prayers, reaching to the “God of the impossible”, my Lord and my Shepherd, daily consulting You O Lord, to help me to fight the desires of my flesh and walk in the spirit, my spirit, which bears witness to Your Spirit strengthening me for my day, so thus I pray, may I walk in my spiritual man and not by my fleshly man. 

Father I lift up All my loved ones, All my children, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they each sense Your presence in their lives, may they learn to hear and obey the leading of Your Holy Spirit, guiding them in making good choices, and living as Your children of the light.

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Father, God, I lift my spirit before You today, asking for Your Wisdom, and good Judgement in my decision making. 

Jesus, I give my life and all circumstance over to You, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, guide my way, and may I learn to follow Your Wisdom provided.

Lord, may I always see the Truth from a lie, may I learn not to follow after anyone who leads me astray, may Your Spirit guide my way, in Jesus’ name, Amen! 

Bless me O Lord, bless the work of my hands and their creation, my craftsmanship, and each project I endeavor to achieve.

Father, I lift up All my children Lord, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, guide them on their path to You O Lord, bless them in their coming and going, may they learn to walk as Your children of the light, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ You have dealt well with Your servant,

O LORD, according to Your word.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge,

For I believe Your commandments.

Before I was afflicted I went astray,

But now I keep Your word.

You are good, and do good;

Teach me Your statutes.

The proud have forged a lie against me,

But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.

Their heart is as fat as grease,

But I delight in Your law.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted,

That I may learn Your statutes.

The law of Your mouth is better to me

Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.

Your hands have made me and fashioned me;

Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.

Those who fear You will be glad when they see me,

Because I have hoped in Your word.

I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right,

And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,

According to Your word to Your servant.

Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;

For Your law is my delight.

Let the proud be ashamed,

For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood;

But I will meditate on Your precepts.

Let those who fear You turn to me,

Those who know Your testimonies.

Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes,

That I may not be ashamed. 🕊️

Psalms 119:65-80

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Father, I praise You for allowing me to see good days and watch my family grow.

I lift them All up before You now, keep them safe Lord.

Having lost our first born, Tommy, at birth, after waiting many months to greet him, and the loss of my son, Judah at 32, Father I can only imagine the pain and sorrow of losing Jesus, when he died, and I understand the sacrifice, in creating a better way for ALL man to be free and receive Salvation, never to fear of death or dying, but living forever with You O Lord, I get it Father, Thank You!

*Today is another of my sons birthday Lord, Malachi, coming to me at 6 years of age, when I was out burning trash on our acreage, he asked me to pray for God to forgive him of his sins and receive Salvation and have everlasting life. I lift him up before You then, together, as two, standing before You, and I ask it again today Jesus, may he be healed from within and come to remembrance of the words we shared that day, so long ago, may he walk with You O Lord, and may he follow the Way, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Lord I lift up All my children this day, may Your Spirit bless each of them and keep them safe, I lift up All my grandchildren Father, All my great grandchildren, may they be blessed today and receive Your Spirit, Your Joy, may they sense Your Spirit working within them and guiding their way, may they find You in all they see and experience, may they come to the light as Your children and bring glory to Your Holy name, Jesus.

I pray Father, I might walk this day in remembrance of Your Love shown to me, so many years ago, You freed me from my past and gave me a New path to follow, one filled with Joy and Peace.

I ask O Lord, may I continue to shine my light, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. 

If he hears you, you have gained your brother. 

But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ 

And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. 

But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.

“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

“Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 

For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” 🕊️

Matthew 18:15-20

🕊️ Love Your Neighbor

Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. 

For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 

Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore Love is the fulfillment of the law. 🕊️

Matthew 13:8-10
