The Word Only - Blessed be the Name of The LORD

Thus saith the Lord God, I will yet for this be enquired of. Ezek. 36:37

Ye have not, because ye ask not. James 4:2

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matt. 7:7, 8

This is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. I John 5:14, 15

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. James 1:5

Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. Psa. 81:10

Men ought always to pray, and not to faint. Luke 18:1

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. The LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. Psa. 34:15, 17

Ye shall ask in my name; and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me. Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. John 16:26, 27, 24

Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? Job 2:10

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. Psa. 119:75

It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good. I Sam. 3:18

Lord bless dear ones.

The Word Only - Victory Through our Lord Jesus Christ.

From Daily Light:

Adam.. begat a son in his own likeness. Gen. 5:3

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Job 14:4

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Psa. 51:5

Dead in trespasses and sins; ... by nature the children of wrath, even as others. Eph. 2:1, 3

I am carnal, sold under sin. That which I do I allow not; for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing. Rom. 7:14, 15, 18

By one man sin entered into the world.... by one man's disobedience many were made sinners. Rom. 5:12, 19

If through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. Rom. 5:15

The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Rom. 8:2

Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. I Cor. 15:57

Comfort One Another..

Well, I’m not sure if I’ll publish this, but I wanted to write my thoughts down.. about grief. 
Grief is a curious thing, it creeps upon you in the most unexpected ways at times, and overwhelms. 
It is thus for me at this moment.. 

Our grief can be about many things, at the moment mine is for my dad. 

My dad was very, very dear to me, he passed in early Aug 2018. As I was the only one of his children in town I took him out the most. I came to know him, and much about him that I did not know before these one on one times with him, after he went into the nursing home. 

I shouldn’t really be sad as dear, sweet, precious, darling dad is with our wonderful loving LORD. 
(Dad’s very brief salvation post, see HERE.) 
What a comfort it is to know this .. what joy divine it is to have this blessed hope! 
Love this passage below, don’t you?

It’s singing in my heart at the moment, that sea photo I took with darling dad last year.
Especially resting in the “Wherefore comfort one another with THESE words.”!
I think I may share this post as it may bless someone, who is really struggling with grief or with some sort of loss at the moment. 
Dark moments can be all enveloping - until we cry out to the LORD.
Once His light shines, then hope revives! 
There is hope! 
There is light, there is a brighter day! 
“Amen, even so come, LORD Jesus.”

Glory to His Name Alone!

Dear ones, I am reminded...

Jeremiah 9

Vs 23 Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

Vs 24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.

This text is one I did about ten years ago on vellum. Very hard to work on. I love these verses. 

They remind us of our foibles.. our tendency to love the praise of men. I did this text in a secular non believing group of calligraphers. I wonder now whether they thought on the words or simply looked at it as art. I suspect the latter.

Jeremiah lamented that they the people of his day did not honour God and give Him praise. 

May we recall that we are nothing.
For example the skill used to create this illuminated text is God's gift! Not of me..
So when one praises me for it I should point them to the Lord, the Giver of every good and perfect gift.

As Job said, I abhor myself!

Job 42:1-6:

"Then Job answered the Lord , and said, I know that thou canst do every thing , and that no thought can be withholden from thee.

Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 

I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth Thee. 

Wherefore I abhor myself , and repent in dust and ashes."

******

O Lord help us to keep a heavenly perspective. To see things as you see them. 

And give you the honour and praise before men.  In all things. Amen.

He Cares for You

February 2 MORNING
"Daily Light"
Oh that thou wouldest keep me from evil. I Chron. 4:10

Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. Luke 22:46

The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matt. 26:41

Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain. Prov. 30:7-9

The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. Psa. 121:7

I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible. Jer. 15:21

He that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. I John 5:18

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Rev. 3:10

The LORD knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations. II Pet. 2:9
How faithful is our precious Father God?
He sees our heartache, our groanings, knows loves and cares for each intimate detail.
He will never leave us nor forsake us.

( "Does Jesus care?"
Or this link here).

Let us caste our care upon Him for He careth for you.
Thank you LORD.
Love you LORD.

Praying for you. Our Father gets it! How He loves and cares.
