Thankfull thursday ~ COURAGE ~

Laurie @ Women Taking A Stand chose COURAGE today! This is what she shares

I have never thought of myself as a particularly courageous person. I don't jump
out of planes. I have never gone water skiing. I would tremble to climb Mt.
Everest. I don't even like spiders, and definitely I am gravely afraid of little
rodents!


Bravery? That is for other people. Right?
Wrong!!


When I think about the trials that my life has taken me thru - I
realize that courage had alot to do with my survival. Some days, it might have
been easier to climb Mount Everest! But during those times of wanting to hide my
head in the sand and wishing I could run into my bedroom and hover under the
covers - I realized that was EXACTLY what the enemy was trying to get me to do.
The enemy wanted me to wither, to fall, to cave in, to fall off the mountain!


Some of you know exactly what I am talking about. Needing courage to
take another step. Needing Courage.


Courage in your moment of grief.
Courage in your moment of pain. Courage in your moment of sickness. Courage in
your moment of stress. Courage in your moment of despair. Courage.



PSALM 3:3 "Lord, You are my shield, my wonderful God who gives
me courage."

While reading this i could relate and see God's hands through my whole life ,struggles and cirumstances. His biggest gift i got in my life and what i wrote about in my testimony is that " I learned about God just how i learn to write and speak " For me he was and is always " a living reality"!!
I see different moments of courage in my life

1. Coming as a young adult to Europe all by myself


2. Handling insecurity's of not having a staying permit and stable work in the "beautyfield"


3. Making the choice to study for and work with elderly


4. Get married and stayed married!


5. Start a beautybusiness with my dh's from "scratch"( no savings and businessloan) and combine it with my other job


6. Raisig up our kids....


7. Surviving " the recession"

This looking back stirs-up ALOT of Praise and THANKFULNESS for GOD ALMIGHTY!

• FOR HIS LEADING HAND AND GUIDANCE


• HIS PROTECTION FROM HARM AND WRONG CHOICES AND WHEN MADE WRONGS FORGIVENESS AND GRACE


• HE PROVIDED EACH AND EVERYDAY IN DIFFERENT WAYS, IN NATURE,IN OPPURTUNITIES,IN PEOPLE BRINGING OUR WAY,IN GIVING US EACHOTHER AS A FAMILY.....


• HE GAVE US COURAGE TO FACE EACH AND EVERYDAY BOLDLY AND GAVE HIM HONOUR WITH OUR LIFE


• HE GIVES US ALWAYS HOPE, A FUTURE AND PEACE WHAT SURPASES AND TRANCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING!

Job 12:7-12 (New International Version)

7 "But ask the animals, and they will teach you,
or the bird of the air, and they will tell you;

8 or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
or let the fish of the sea inform you.

9 Which of all these does not know
that the hand of the LORD has done this?

10 In his hand is the life of every creature
and the breath of all mankind.

11 Does not the ear test words
as the tongue tastes food?

12 Is not wisdom found among the aged?
Does not long life bring understanding?

Moravian Daily Texts...and 8 THINGS.....

Psalm 55:20-23
Job
34:29-35:16; 1 Corinthians 8

When they heard that the Lord had
given heed to the Israelites and that he had
seen their misery, they bowed
down and worshipped. Exodus 4:31
And the people trusted and listened believingly that God was
concerned with what was going on with the Israelites and knew all about their
affliction. They bowed low and they worshiped.


He has helped his
servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy. Luke
1:54
He embraced his chosen child, Israel;
he remembered and
piled on the mercies, piled them high.

God of mercy, help us today. You have seen our need and heard our prayers.
Accept our thanks and praise in Jesus' name. Amen.

For today's readings The Psalm and Job make things so clear and visual in this translation version.

Be blessed!

Psalm
55:20-23 (The Message)

20-21 And this, my best friend, betrayed his
best friends;
his life betrayed his word.
All my life I've been charmed
by his speech,
never dreaming he'd turn on me.
His words, which were
music to my ears,
turned to daggers in my heart.

22-23 Pile your
troubles on God's shoulders—
he'll carry your load, he'll help you out.
He'll never let good people
topple into ruin.
But you, God, will
throw the others
into a muddy bog,
Cut the lifespan of assassins
and
traitors in half.

And I trust in you.

Job
34:29-35:16

Because You Refuse to Live on God's Terms

29-30 "If God is silent, what's that to you?
If he turns his
face away, what can you do about it?
But whether silent or hidden, he's
there, ruling,
so that those who hate God won't take over
and ruin
people's lives.

31-33 "So why don't you simply confess to God?
Say,
'I sinned, but I'll sin no more.
Teach me to see what I still don't see.
Whatever evil I've done, I'll do it no more.'
Just because you refuse to
live on God's terms,
do you think he should start living on yours?
You
choose. I can't do it for you.
Tell me what you decide.

34-37 "All
right-thinking people say—
and the wise who have listened to me concur—
'Job is an ignoramus.
He talks utter nonsense.'
Job, you need to be
pushed to the wall and called to account
for wickedly talking back to God
the way you have.
You've compounded your original sin
by rebelling
against God's discipline,
Defiantly shaking your fist at God,
piling up
indictments against the Almighty One."
Job 35
Elihu's Third Speech
When God Makes Creation a Classroom
1-3 Elihu lit into Job again: "Does
this kind of thing make any sense?
First you say, 'I'm perfectly innocent
before God.'
And then you say, 'It doesn't make a bit of difference
whether I've sinned or not.'

4-8 "Well, I'm going to show you
that you don't know what you're talking about,
neither you nor your
friends.
Look up at the sky. Take a long hard look.
See those clouds
towering above you?
If you sin, what difference could that make to God?
No matter how much you sin, will it matter to him?
Even if you're good,
what would God get out of that?
Do you think he's dependent on your
accomplishments?
The only ones who care whether you're good or bad
are
your family and friends and neighbors.
God's not dependent on your behavior.

9-15 "When times get bad, people cry out for help.
They cry for
relief from being kicked around,
But never give God a thought when things go
well,
when God puts spontaneous songs in their hearts,
When God sets out
the entire creation as a science classroom,
using birds and beasts to teach
wisdom.
People are arrogantly indifferent to God—
until, of course,
they're in trouble,
and then God is indifferent to them.
There's nothing
behind such prayers except panic;
the Almighty pays them no mind.
So why
would he notice you
just because you say you're tired of waiting to be
heard,
Or waiting for him to get good and angry
and do something about
the world's problems?

16 "Job, you talk sheer nonsense—
nonstop
nonsense!"

Psalm 55:16-19
Job 34:1-28; 1 Corinthians 7:25-40

O that my ways may be steadfast in keeping your statutes! Psalm 119:5
You, God, prescribed the right way to live;
now you expect us to live it.
Oh, that my steps might be steady,
keeping to the course you set;

Jesus said, "For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and
sister and mother." Matthew 12:50
"Look closely. These are my mother and brothers. Obedience is thicker than blood. The person who obeys my heavenly Father's will is my brother and sister and mother."

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will
be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and
forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us
not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the
power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. (General Liturgy I, Moravian Book
of Worship, p. 4)

My readings i do today with you on my blog...I look them up on biblegateway in the message version and who reads my blogs frequently knows that i emphasis what speaks to me or what pops -up as important to me so........Get with me in THE WORD!!

Psalm 55:16-19

16-19 I call to God;
God will help me.
At dusk, dawn, and noon I sigh
deep sighs—he hears, he rescues.
My life is well and whole, secure
in the middle of danger
Even while thousands
are lined up against me.
God hears it all, and from his judge's bench
puts them in their place.
But, set in their ways, they won't change;
they pay him no mind.

Job 34

Elihu's Second Speech

It's Impossible for God to Do Evil

1-4Elihu continued: "So, my fine friends—listen to me,
and see what you think of this.
Isn't it just common sense—
as common as the sense of taste—
To put our heads together
and figure out what's going on here?

5-9 "We've all heard Job say, 'I'm in the right,
but God won't give me a fair trial.
When I defend myself, I'm called a liar to my face.
I've done nothing wrong, and I get punished anyway.'
Have you ever heard anything to beat this?
Does nothing faze this man Job?
Do you think he's spent too much time in bad company,
hanging out with the wrong crowd,
So that now he's parroting their line:
'It doesn't pay to try to please God'?

10-15 "You're veterans in dealing with these matters;
certainly we're of one mind on this.
It's impossible for God to do anything evil;
no way can the Mighty One do wrong.
He makes us pay for exactly what we've done—no more, no less.
Our chickens always come home to roost.
It's impossible for God to do anything wicked,
for the Mighty One to subvert justice.
He's the one who runs the earth!
He cradles the whole world in his hand!
If he decided to hold his breath,
every man, woman, and child would die for lack of air.
God Is Working Behind the Scenes
16-20 "So, Job, use your head;
this is all pretty obvious.
Can someone who hates order, keep order?
Do you dare condemn the righteous, mighty God?
Doesn't God always tell it like it is,
exposing corrupt rulers as scoundrels and criminals?
Does he play favorites with the rich and famous and slight the poor?
Isn't he equally responsible to everybody?
Don't people who deserve it die without notice?
Don't wicked rulers tumble to their doom?
When the so-called great ones are wiped out,
we know God is working behind the scenes.

21-28 "He has his eyes on every man and woman.
He doesn't miss a trick.
There is no night dark enough, no shadow deep enough,
to hide those who do evil.
God doesn't need to gather any more evidence;
their sin is an open-and-shut case.
He deposes the so-called high and mighty without asking questions,
and replaces them at once with others.
Nobody gets by with anything; overnight,
judgment is signed, sealed, and delivered.
He punishes the wicked for their wickedness
out in the open where everyone can see it,
Because they quit following him,
no longer even thought about him or his ways.
Their apostasy was announced by the cry of the poor;
the cry of the afflicted got God's attention.


1 Corinthians 7:25-40 (The Message)

25-28The Master did not give explicit direction regarding virgins, but as one much experienced in the mercy of the Master and loyal to him all the way, you can trust my counsel. Because of the current pressures on us from all sides, I think it would probably be best to stay just as you are. Are you married? Stay married. Are you unmarried? Don't get married. But there's certainly no sin in getting married, whether you're a virgin or not. All I am saying is that when you marry, you take on additional stress in an already stressful time, and I want to spare you if possible.

29-31I do want to point out, friends, that time is of the essence. There is no time to waste, so don't complicate your lives unnecessarily. Keep it simple —in marriage, grief, joy, whatever. Even in ordinary things—your daily routines of shopping, and so on. Deal as sparingly as possible with the things the world thrusts on you. This world as you see it is on its way out.

32-35 I want you to live as free of complications as possible. When you're unmarried, you're free to concentrate on simply pleasing the Master. Marriage involves you in all the nuts and bolts of domestic life and in wanting to please your spouse, leading to so many more demands on your attention. The time and energy that married people spend on caring for and nurturing each other, the unmarried can spend in becoming whole and holy instruments of God. I'm trying to be helpful and make it as easy as possible for you, not make things harder. All I want is for you to be able to develop a way of life in which you can spend plenty of time together with the Master without a lot of distractions.

36-38If a man has a woman friend to whom he is loyal but never intended to marry, having decided to serve God as a "single," and then changes his mind, deciding he should marry her, he should go ahead and marry. It's no sin; it's not even a "step down" from celibacy, as some say. On the other hand, if a man is comfortable in his decision for a single life in service to God and it's entirely his own conviction and not imposed on him by others, he ought to stick with it. Marriage is spiritually and morally right and not inferior to singleness in any way, although as I indicated earlier, because of the times we live in, I do have pastoral reasons for encouraging singleness.

39-40A wife must stay with her husband as long as he lives. If he dies, she is free to marry anyone she chooses. She will, of course, want to marry a believer and have the blessing of the Master. By now you know that I think she'll be better off staying single. The Master, in my opinion, thinks so, too.

WEEKLY MEMORY VERSE- Psalm 119: 105

"Let's move on to next week's verse.
Oh, it is very easy!! I just looked and we're going to be working on the Queen
of Diamonds from the "Embracing the Word" cards:


Your word is a lamp
to my feet and a light to my path.....Psalm 119:105 (NASB) "

With those words Beth from The Power of Your Love introduce last week memory verse to us.
I never heard of the saying "Queen of Diamonds" But i must say this verse caught my eye already some years ago and for some reason or the other it sticks easily to my mind....
I tried to memorize it this time in the Message version
By your words I can see where I'm going;they throw a beam of light on my dark path!!

The word LIGHT catches my eye always in Gods Word, because i have it in my confirmation verse psalm

27: 1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD
is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?

In our Memory verse it saysYOUR WORD is a LIGHT to my path !!

I looked the word LIGHT up in dictionary.com and found interesting meanings especially when you have also in mind that THE WORD is also THE LORD.....JESUS HE IS the LIVING WORD!!

16. a gleam or sparkle, as in the eyes. Jesus must be seen in our eyes!!

18. spiritual illumination or awareness; enlightenment.Jesus ...The Word makes us aware enlightens us!!

20. mental insight; understanding.Yes i understand more and more being in the word: His Word and spend time with Him!!

21. lights, the information, ideas, or mental capacities possessed: to act according to one's lights. Yes i act more according to the insights( the light) i get!!

22. a lighthouse. For sure Jesus is our lighthouse our bacon especially in the storms!!

31. to cause (the face, surroundings, etc.) to brighten, esp. with joy, animation, or the like (often fol. by up) Yes it start with me to spread the Word...spread The Love of Jesus!!

32. to guide or conduct with a light. HE is my guide and the Word is....!!

37. to brighten with animation or joy, as the face or eyes This must be the effect of spending time with Jesus in The Word isn't it....!!

38. bring to light, to discover or reveal:NOTHING can stay in the Dark when it comes in contact with Jesus or when it is " hold against the word" ....ALL comes to light!!

44. see the light, a. to come into existence or being. Yes our life get purpose!! ( higher purpose)
b. to be made public. Giving testimony...being a witness!!
c. to begin to accept or understand a point of view one formerly opposed: I was there and dun that..Now i get a better ( deeper) understanding!!

Blessings my Friends

This week i READ psalm 4 already and posted it on friday ,it is an EVENINGPRAYER from David.

1John 3 1-7 You can read it is very known.....

My attention was caught by the verses in
Luke 24:36-48 (The Message)

36-41While they were saying all this, Jesus appeared to them and said, "Peace be with you." They thought they were seeing a ghost and were scared half to death. He continued with them, "Don't be upset, and don't let all these doubting questions take over. Look at my hands; look at my feet—it's really me. Touch me. Look me over from head to toe. A ghost doesn't have muscle and bone like this." As he said this, he showed them his hands and feet. They still couldn't believe what they were seeing. It was too much; it seemed too good to be true.

41-43He asked, "Do you have any food here?" They gave him a piece of leftover fish they had cooked. He took it and ate it right before their eyes.

You're the Witnesses
44Then he said, "Everything I told you while I was with you comes to this: All the things written about me in the Law of Moses, in the Prophets, and in the Psalms have to be fulfilled."
45-49He went on to open their understanding of the Word of God, showing them how to read their Bibles this way. He said, "You can see now how it is written that the Messiah suffers, rises from the dead on the third day, and then a total life-change through the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed in his name to all nations—starting from here, from Jerusalem! You're the first to hear and see it. You're the witnesses. What comes next is very important: I am sending what my Father promised to you, so stay here in the city until he arrives, until you're equipped with power from on high."

I am (we are witnesses) we are called up by Jesus ....who made Him self known to us ( isn't it)

Maybe we receive HIM just like the disciples written above....

With un-believe ,scared to dead...we give HIM leftovers ( this broke my heart when i read and realize ..i'm guilthy of this...BUT JESUS still eats it and don't show we are disappointing Him.......!!)

BUT JESUS is not giving up on us...He instructs...teaches...open up THE WORD and HIMSELF to us and CALLS us up to be WITNESSES.He promisses us POWER from ABOVE!

I want to be A WITNESS and pray and hope you also!!

Wish you a Godfilled witnessful week.

SUPER SUNDAY

Link up today at AMAZING GRACE for Super Sunday !
She called us up " To lift up our hands and Praise God today"

God urges us to do this and He knows why He says this because this is like OXYGEN for our soul and spirit.....It uplifts...it carries...it strenghtens...It get's you through all circumstances,It get's you through a tunnel......It brings you in the Light....and if you are in the tunnel, you KNOW Light is at the end......!!

Did David not talk about these circumstances. Did David not approuch NEGATIVE cirumstances in and arround him with.....

1. LOVING
2. TRUSTING
3. PRAYING/WORSHIPPING GOD

Psalm 18
1-2 I love you, God— you make me strong.
God is bedrock under my feet,
the castle in which I live,
my rescuing knight.
My God—the high crag
where I run for dear life,
hiding behind the boulders,
safe in the granite hideout.

3 I sing to God, the Praise-Lofty,
and find myself safe and saved.

4-5 The hangman's noose was tight at my throat;
devil waters rushed over me.
Hell's ropes cinched me tight;
death traps barred every exit.

6 A hostile world! I call to God,
I cry to God to help me.
From his palace he hears my call;
my cry brings me right into his presence—
a private audience!

7-15 Earth wobbles and lurches;
huge mountains shake like leaves,
Quake like aspen leaves
because of his rage.
His nostrils flare, bellowing smoke;
his mouth spits fire.
Tongues of fire dart in and out;
he lowers the sky.
He steps down;
under his feet an abyss opens up.
He's riding a winged creature,
swift on wind-wings.
Now he's wrapped himself
in a trenchcoat of black-cloud darkness.
But his cloud-brightness bursts through,
spraying hailstones and fireballs.
Then God thundered out of heaven;
the High God gave a great shout,
spraying hailstones and fireballs.
God shoots his arrows—pandemonium!
He hurls his lightnings—a rout!
The secret sources of ocean are exposed,
the hidden depths of earth lie uncovered
The moment you roar in protest,
let loose your hurricane anger.

16-19 But me he caught—reached all the way
from sky to sea; he pulled me out
Of that ocean of hate, that enemy chaos,
the void in which I was drowning.
They hit me when I was down,
but God stuck by me.
He stood me up on a wide-open field;
I stood there saved—surprised to be loved!

20-24 God made my life complete
when I placed all the pieces before him.
When I got my act together,
he gave me a fresh start.
Now I'm alert to God's ways;
I don't take God for granted.
Every day I review the ways he works;
I try not to miss a trick.
I feel put back together,
and I'm watching my step.
God rewrote the text of my life
when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.

25-27 The good people taste your goodness,
The whole people taste your health,
The true people taste your truth,
The bad ones can't figure you out.
You take the side of the down-and-out,
But the stuck-up you take down a peg.

28-29 Suddenly, God, you floodlight my life;
I'm blazing with glory, God's glory!
I smash the bands of marauders,
I vault the highest fences.

30 What a God! His road
stretches straight and smooth.
Every God-direction is road-tested.
Everyone who runs toward him
Makes it.

31-42 Is there any god like God?
Are we not at bedrock?
Is not this the God who armed me,
then aimed me in the right direction?
Now I run like a deer;
I'm king of the mountain.
He shows me how to fight;
I can bend a bronze bow!
You protect me with salvation-armor;
you hold me up with a firm hand,
caress me with your gentle ways.
You cleared the ground under me
so my footing was firm.
When I chased my enemies I caught them;
I didn't let go till they were dead men.
I nailed them; they were down for good;
then I walked all over them.
You armed me well for this fight,
you smashed the upstarts.
You made my enemies turn tail,
and I wiped out the haters.
They cried "uncle"
but Uncle didn't come;
They yelled for God
and got no for an answer.
I ground them to dust; they gusted in the wind.
I threw them out, like garbage in the gutter.

43-45 You rescued me from a squabbling people;
you made me a leader of nations.
People I'd never heard of served me;
the moment they got wind of me they listened.
The foreign devils gave up; they came
on their bellies, crawling from their hideouts.

46-48 Live, God! Blessings from my Rock,
my free and freeing God, towering!
This God set things right for me
and shut up the people who talked back.
He rescued me from enemy anger,
he pulled me from the grip of upstarts,
He saved me from the bullies.

49-50 That's why I'm thanking you, God,
all over the world.
That's why I'm singing songs
that rhyme your name.
God's king takes the trophy;
God's chosen is beloved.
I mean David and all his children—
always.

And this song so blessed me this week and talked about " Lifthing up our hands and Worshipping God"

Than Sings My Soul Saturday!~ THY WORD IS A LIGHT........~

Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. John 1:1-5, 14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.......
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,......

Fearless Friday - Evening Prayer -

I end with an EVENINGPRAYER from David on this FEARLESSFRIDAY hosted by Angela at Free Spirit Haven

Psalm 4 (The Message)


1 When I call, give me answers. God, take my side! Once, in a tight place, you gave me room;
Now I'm in trouble again: grace me! hear me!

2 You rabble—how long do I put up with your scorn?
How long will you lust after lies?
How long will you live crazed by illusion?

3 Look at this: look
Who got picked by God!
He listens the split second I call to him.

4-5 Complain if you must, but don't lash out.
Keep your mouth shut, and let your heart do the talking.
Build your case before God and wait for his verdict.

6-7 Why is everyone hungry for more? "More, more," they say.
"More, more."
I have God's more-than-enough,
More joy in one ordinary day

7-8 Than they get in all their shopping sprees.
At day's end I'm ready for sound sleep,
For you, God, have put my life back together.

You can still make a blogpost with your prayerrequest and link-up other wise don't forget to do it next week or put the Fearless friday picture on your blog!

Have a Godfilled weekend friends.

Moravian Daily text

Psalm 53
Job 29; 1 Corinthians 5:9-6:8

Then I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the lands where I
have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be
fruitful and multiply. Jeremiah 23:3
(Message) I'll take over and gather what's left of my sheep, gather them in from all the lands where I've driven them. I'll bring them back where they belong, and they'll recover and flourish.

Jesus said, "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather
with me scatters." Luke 11: 23
( Message )"This is war, and there is no neutral ground. If you're not on my side, you're the enemy; if you're not helping, you're making things worse.

Ever-present God, you are always with us: in joy to bless, in grief to comfort,
in distress to assist, in danger to strengthen. Keep us in your loving care. In
Jesus' name. Amen.

Psalm 52
Job 28; 1 Corinthians 4:16-5:8

The promises of the Lord are promises that are pure, silver refined in a furnace
on the ground, purified seven times. Psalm 12:6

Christ says, "The one who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I
have heard from him." John 8:26

Dependable God, your promises to us are too many to list but they will never be
broken. When we are weary and discouraged, remind us that you are faithful.
Amen.

I love the psalm to read for today.
You can read it with me in the message version.

Psalm 52

A David Psalm, When Doeg the Edomite Reported to Saul, "David's at Ahimelech's House"

1-4 Why do you brag of evil, "Big Man"?
God's mercy
carries the day.
You scheme catastrophe;
your tongue cuts razor-sharp,
artisan in lies.
You love evil more than good,
you call black white.
You love malicious gossip,
you foul-mouth.

5 God will tear you
limb from limb,
sweep you up and throw you out,
Pull you up by the roots
from the land of life.

6-7 Good people will watch and
worship.
They'll laugh in relief:
"Big Man bet on the wrong horse,
trusted in big
money,
made his living from catastrophe."

8 And I'm an olive tree,
growing green in God's house.
I trusted in the generous mercy
of God
then and now.

9 I thank you always
that you went into action.
And I'll stay right here,
your good name my hope,
in company with
your faithful friends.

Weekly Memory Verse ~`Isaiah 53 :6 ~

Isaiah 53:6 (The Message)

2-6The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling,
a scrubby plant in a parched field.
There was nothing attractive about him,
nothing to cause us to take a second look.
He was looked down on and passed over,
a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand.
One look at him and people turned away.
We looked down on him, thought he was scum.
But the fact is, it was our pains he carried—
our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.
We thought he brought it on himself,
that God was punishing him for his own failures.
But it was our sins that did that to him,
that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins!
He took the punishment, and that made us whole.
Through his bruises we get healed.
We're all like sheep who've wandered off and gotten lost.
We've all done our own thing, gone our own way.
And God has piled all our sins, everything we've done wrong,
on him, on him.


NKJV - Isa 53:6 - All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.


NLT - Isa 53:6 - All of us have strayed away like sheep. We have left God's paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on him the guilt and sins of us all.


NIV - Isa 53:6 - We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.


ESV - Isa 53:6 - All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

When i read this verse in context than i realized that it still applies how non-christians look at christianity...but also how so called Christians can miss seeing Jesus in other people who we look down to......( What you haven't done to the least of these you haven't done to me......)

I look all those verses and meanigs of strongs up in biblegateway and Blue Letter Bible

It was interesting to me to discover the different nuances every translation makes.....

And how the Words speaks a lot figuratively like the meaning that we are like sheeps....following in groups all with the same ideas and manners what is commonly accepted....Than we really go astray far a way from God....

We have to turn back .....The Shepperd search for His sheep.......calls us back and i love the word in the NLT version YET.....the LORD laid on HIM..........

What would we have done if JESUS wasn't send by the LORD for all our sins...for al our iniquities......?? He came as a servant for all of us and also as THE KING OF KINGS........

SUPER SUNDAY

Today i join in SUPER SUNDAY at AMAZING GRACE
Peggy talked about to look at Heaven/ Creation and to see the power of God and to praise Him.



I feel so blessed that i grow up close to nature in the tropics " Surinam" a pearl of a country in the Amazone forest!

The waterfalls...The tropic rains, the animals who live around you and not in zoo

To notice how a seed grows and become a beautiful flower or a vegetable or fruit to eat.....
As a child i realize that i am part of nature and God take care of me just like he take care of the animals.The power in how things grow and in the storms and tropical rains and how night turns in day. Is the same power what God brings in my live when i look up to Him for His diretions....

It is amazing......
I look -up a verse about creation.......

Romans 1:20 (The Message)

Ignoring God Leads to a Downward Spiral
18-23But God's angry displeasure erupts as acts of human mistrust and wrongdoing and lying accumulate, as people try to put a shroud over truth. But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can't see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse. What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn't treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives. They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life. They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand.

Psalm 92
A Sabbath Song
1-3 What a beautiful thing, God, to give thanks, to sing an anthem to you, the High God!
To announce your love each daybreak,

Accompanied by dulcimer and harp,
the full-bodied music of strings.

Fearless Friday

Psalm 106 (as a prayer) for this FEARLESS FRIDAY


Father God we've sinned a lot, both we and our parents;

We've fallen short, hurt a lot of people.

After our parents left their Egypt,
they took your wonders for granted,

forgot your great and wonderful love.

They were barely beyond the Red Sea
when they defied You Lord Oh most High God
—the very place you saved them!
—the place you revealed your amazing power!

You rebuked the Red Sea so that it dried up on the spot
—You paraded them right through!
—no one so much as got wet feet!

You saved them from a life of oppression,
pried them loose from the grip of the enemy.

Then the waters flowed back on their oppressors;
there wasn't a single survivor.

Then they believed Your words were true
and broke out in songs of praise.

Yes Father God We believe your words given to us in your Word, Your " LIVING WORD"- JESUS CHRIST- we believe in Him .We accept Him we give our whole Life to Him....

We left Egypt.....You God resqued us!
Thank You for your immens love
Holy Spirit lead us....guide us
Make us strong to face temptations so we would not fall into it
We our selfse are weak but You O Lord our savior are STRONG!
Part THE RED SEAS for us
Destroy our oppressors and enemy's...
Let YOUR Holy WATER of Life and Salvation clean our life's

Make our hands strong for battle.....
But let them also have the touch of Your love
So we can give that to all whome we come accross
Gird our feet to stay on the solid way you have for us to go
Hold them firm no matter the weather around us
And our head father anoint it dear Lord..
That our cup will overflow...
This is what i pray father God with my sisters in Christ who have put this day aside father to bring our prayers our hearts desires to you because to whome else can we bring it....You alone can fight our battles and give
Victory. You know what Victory is you have seen and face it all and ressurrect from the grave.
I praise your name Lord Jesus Halleluja Amen !

Thankfull thursday ~I am God's daughter ~

THANKFULL Thursday is today i love both TT hostings i came accross in "blogland"
Sonya at Truth4 The Journey and Laurie host this month forIris at Grace Alone.
We can never be Thankfull enough.

The topic Laurie brought forward today is ...I am God's daughter ....She says this...
"Isn't it awesome that God has a big lap that we can just crawl up upon and just have "cuddle time" with our Heavenly Father anytime that we choose to.
ISAIAH 46:4 "I will be your God through all your lifetime, yes, even when your hair is white with age."
and more encouraging words on this subject.

It brings Joy to my heart to know that i have an father in Heaven..

I am thankfull

• I can come to Him JUST AS I AM (1 Chronicles 17:16)
  16-27 King David went in, took his place before God, and prayed:
  Who am I, my Master God, and what is my family, that you have brought me to this place in life? But that's nothing compared to what's coming, for you've also spoken of my family far into the future, given me a glimpse into tomorrow and looked on me, Master God, as a Somebody. What's left for David to say to this—to your honoring your servant, even though you know me, just as I am? O God, out of the goodness of your heart, you've taken your servant to do this great thing and put your great work on display. There's none like you, God, no God but you, nothing to compare with what we've heard with our own ears.
• That to sit on His "lap" is a BALM TO MY SOUL( Jeremiah 46:11 )
  11-12"Oh, virgin Daughter Egypt, climb into the mountains of Gilead, get healing balm.
• He encourage me to STAY STRONG AND RUN THE RACE OF LIFE LIKE AN ATLETE (Proverbs 15:9)
  9 A life frittered away disgusts God; he loves those who run straight for the finish line.
• He is an father I CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON 24/7
• I can TRUST HIM LIKE NO OTHER HE IS GOOD AND FAIR (Deuteronomy 4:7 )
  7-8 Yes. What other great nation has gods that are intimate with them the way God, our God, is with us, always ready to listen to us? And what other great nation has rules and regulations as good and fair as this Revelation that I'm setting before you today?

I can sum up a lot more BECAUSE he is "THE PERFECT FATHER....THE BEST FATHER" we can imagine but i keep to my other TT hostes Sonya rules to sum up 5 T's.... Linkup today to one of this TT hostesses and share also your TT or read more tt's and praise together our FATHER GOD.

Proverbs 16( Message)

Everything with a Place and a Purpose

1 Mortals make elaborate plans, but God has the last word.

2 Humans are satisfied with whatever looks good;
God probes for what is good.

3 Put God in charge of your work,
then what you've planned will take place.

4 God made everything with a place and purpose;
even the wicked are included—but for judgment.

5 God can't stomach arrogance or pretense;
believe me, he'll put those upstarts in their place.

6 Guilt is banished through love and truth;
Fear-of-God deflects evil.

7 When God approves of your life,
even your enemies will end up shaking your hand.

8 Far better to be right and poor
than to be wrong and rich.

9 We plan the way we want to live,
but only God makes us able to live it.
It Pays to Take Life Seriously
10 A good leader motivates,
doesn't mislead, doesn't exploit.

11 God cares about honesty in the workplace;
your business is his business.

12 Good leaders abhor wrongdoing of all kinds;
sound leadership has a moral foundation.

13 Good leaders cultivate honest speech;
they love advisors who tell them the truth.

14 An intemperate leader wreaks havoc in lives;
you're smart to stay clear of someone like that.

15 Good-tempered leaders invigorate lives;
they're like spring rain and sunshine.

16 Get wisdom—it's worth more than money;
choose insight over income every time.

17 The road of right living bypasses evil;
watch your step and save your life.

18 First pride, then the crash—
the bigger the ego, the harder the fall.

19 It's better to live humbly among the poor
than to live it up among the rich and famous.

20 It pays to take life seriously;
things work out when you trust in God.

21 A wise person gets known for insight;
gracious words add to one's reputation.

22 True intelligence is a spring of fresh water,
while fools sweat it out the hard way.

23 They make a lot of sense, these wise folks;
whenever they speak, their reputation increases.

24 Gracious speech is like clover honey—
good taste to the soul, quick energy for the body.

25 There's a way that looks harmless enough;
look again—it leads straight to hell.

26 Appetite is an incentive to work;
hunger makes you work all the harder.

27 Mean people spread mean gossip;
their words smart and burn.

28 Troublemakers start fights;
gossips break up friendships.

29 Calloused climbers betray their very own friends;
they'd stab their own grandmothers in the back.

30 A shifty eye betrays an evil intention;
a clenched jaw signals trouble ahead.

31 Gray hair is a mark of distinction,
the award for a God-loyal life.

32 Moderation is better than muscle,
self-control better than political power.

33 Make your motions and cast your votes,
but God has the final say.

Word Filled Wednesday ~ Proud Parent Proverbs 23..... ~

Proverbs 23:22 -25(The Message)

Listen with respect to the father who raised you,
and when your mother grows old, don't neglect her.
Buy truth—don't sell it for love or money;
buy wisdom, buy education, buy insight.
Parents rejoice when their children turn out well;
wise children become proud parents.
So make your father happy!
Make your mother proud!

Last Palm Sunday i felt like a PROUD PARENT when my uncle took this picture.
So i went to surge ( love bible gateway...) what God says about proud parents.
