DAY VERSES ~ READ ALONG~




Saturday, July 18



Psalm 87;
Isaiah 41:8-42:9; Philippians 2:5-18


See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you
obey the commandments of the Lord your God; and the curse, if you do not obey
the commandments of the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 11:26-28

The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; on finding
one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
Matthew 13:45-46

O wonderful Savior, Jesus Christ, it is our desire to follow and belong to you
alone. You are the "pearl of great value" who has set us free from our sins.
With grateful hearts we give you our lives and ask that you will make us one of
your own. Amen.


Psalm 87

A Korah Psalm
1-3 He founded Zion on the Holy Mountain— and oh, how God loves his home!
Loves it far better than all
the homes of Jacob put together!
God's hometown—oh!
everyone there is talking about you!

4 I name them off, those among whom I'm famous:
Egypt and Babylon,
also Philistia,
even Tyre, along with Cush.
Word's getting around; they point them out:
"This one was born again here!"

5 The word's getting out on Zion:
"Men and women, right and left,
get born again in her!"


6 God registers their names in his book:
"This one, this one, and this one—
born again, right here."

7 Singers and dancers give credit to Zion:
"All my springs are in you


Isaiah 42

God's Servant Will Set Everything Right


The God Who Makes Us Alive with His Own Life

Philippians 2:5-18

5-8Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn't think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human!Having become human, he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. He didn't claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that—a crucifixion.

9-11Because of that obedience, God lifted him high and honored him far beyond anyone or anything, ever, so that all created beings in heaven and on earth—even those long ago dead and buried—will bow in worship before this Jesus Christ, and call out in praise that he is the Master of all, to the glorious honor of God the Father.

Rejoicing Together
12-13What I'm getting at, friends, is that you should simply keep on doing what you've done from the beginning. When I was living among you, you lived in responsive obedience. Now that I'm separated from you, keep it up. Better yet, redouble your efforts. Be energetic in your life of salvation, reverent and sensitive before God. That energy is God's energy, an energy deep within you, God himself willing and working at what will give him the most pleasure.

14-16Do everything readily and cheerfully—no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night so I'll have good cause to be proud of you on the day that Christ returns. You'll be living proof that I didn't go to all this work for nothing.

17-18Even if I am executed here and now, I'll rejoice in being an element in the offering of your faith that you make on Christ's altar, a part of your rejoicing. But turnabout's fair play—you must join me in my rejoicing. Whatever you do, don't feel sorry for me.

FEARLESS FRIDAY @ DAILY TEXTS ; HE IS OUR SHIELD AND REFUGE; IF GOD IS FOR US WHO IS AGAINST US!!!!!


Photobucket

Friday, July 17


Psalm 86:11-17
Isaiah 40:6-41:7; Philippians 1:23-2:4


He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. Psalm 18:30
MSG 30 What a God! His road
stretches straight and smooth.
Every God-direction is road-tested.
Everyone who runs toward him
Makes it.


If God is for us, who is against us? Romans 8:31
MSG So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose?
Further to v 39 If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.


Strong Shelter and Deliverer, the burdens and concerns of life seem to overwhelm
us. Come to our aid! Surround us with your love and assure us that with you to
care for us we have nothing to fear. Amen.

I so find that my dayverses fit to post together with my "FEARLESS FRIDAY" post. Because we are running on this special day with our prayers to Him; OUR REFUGE, OUR SHIELD. We know that NOBODY CAN BE AGAINST US. Because WE KNOW THAT
The ONE who died for us-who was raised to life for us!- IS IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD AT THIS VERY MOMENT STICKING UP FOR US!!
JESUS LOVES US HE EMBRACES US NOTHING ABSOLUTLY NOTHING CAN COME BETWEEN US AND GOD!!

So head over to Angela at "FREE SPIRIT HAVEN" to read prayer request or find links to blogs who also joined in this meme.Post your own blog or prayer requests overthere or here and we all will pray together in boldness and fearlessnes.

My prayer request are so in agreement with Beth in NC from i am heading towards my destiny.
# PRAYERS FOR HEALING FOR OUR BLOGFRIENDS AND THERE
FAMILY MEMBERS
# THE ELDERY.
# PEOPLE WHO GO THROUGH FINANCIAL CRISIS
#THE WORLD LEADERS FOR WISDOM TO LEAD AND MAINTAIN
WISELY WORLD RESOURCES
I was surprised that the "me" request from Beth is similar to my own....and i think God want me to put it forward here so that you prayer wariors can pray for it......
# SO PRAY FOR MY HORMONE LEVELS TO BE AS GOD CREATED
THEM TO BE
My last request is one for my family this summer to get through it in good spirit.....We can't go away and have not much extra finances to spend on activity's.

Have all a blessed and Godfilled day and weekend!

Moravian Daily Texts ~ July 16 ~

I invite you today to read together with me my daily verses and God's Word.

Thursday, July 16



Psalm 86:1-10
Isaiah 38:1-40:5; Philippians 1:12-22


O Lord of hosts, happy is everyone who trusts in you. Psalm 84:12
MSG
10-12 One day spent in your house, this beautiful place of worship,
beats thousands spent on Greek island beaches.
I'd rather scrub floors in the house of my God
than be honored as a guest in the palace of sin.
All sunshine and sovereign is God,
generous in gifts and glory.
He doesn't scrimp with his traveling companions.
It's smooth sailing all the way with God-of-the-Angel-Armies.


Jesus said, "There is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents
or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not get back very much
more in this age, and in the age to come eternal life." Luke 18:29-30
MSG
29-30"Yes," said Jesus, "and you won't regret it. No one who has sacrificed home, spouse, brothers and sisters, parents, children—whatever—will lose out. It will all come back multiplied many times over in your lifetime. And then the bonus of eternal life!"

O faithful One, today may we renew our trust in you to be our guide and help
through the day. When other forces attempt to pull us away, remind us that there
is no person or thing that will ever sustain us and bring us hope and joy except
for you. Amen.

Readings above
" The psalm of David"
His prayers are always touching my heart...,when i don't know how to put my feelings and emotions in prayer to God..I take those psalms and start praying them...... and to use the words of the message is like having an in-dept conversation with the Lord.......amazing! At the end of those psalms i found my own words and start praying on my own......If your experience is not yet like this try it out......

Psalm 86

A David Psalm
1-7 Bend an ear, God; answer me. I'm one miserable wretch!
Keep me safe—haven't I lived a good life?
Help your servant—I'm depending on you!
You're my God; have mercy on me.
I count on you from morning to night.
Give your servant a happy life;
I put myself in your hands!
You're well-known as good and forgiving,
bighearted to all who ask for help.
Pay attention, God, to my prayer;
bend down and listen to my cry for help.
Every time I'm in trouble I call on you,
confident that you'll answer.

8-10 There's no one quite like you among the gods, O Lord,
and nothing to compare with your works.
All the nations you made are on their way,
ready to give honor to you, O Lord,
Ready to put your beauty on display,
parading your greatness,
And the great things you do—
God, you're the one, there's no one but you!


Isaiah 38

Time Spent in Death's Waiting Room by Hezekiah !!


9-15This is what Hezekiah king of Judah wrote after he'd been sick and then recovered from his sickness:

In the very prime of life
I have to leave.
Whatever time I have left
is spent in death's waiting room.
No more glimpses of God
in the land of the living,
No more meetings with my neighbors,
no more rubbing shoulders with friends.
This body I inhabit is taken down
and packed away like a camper's tent.
Like a weaver, I've rolled up the carpet of my life
as God cuts me free of the loom
And at day's end sweeps up the scraps and pieces.
I cry for help until morning.
Like a lion, God pummels and pounds me,
relentlessly finishing me off.
I squawk like a doomed hen,
moan like a dove.
My eyes ache from looking up for help:
"Master, I'm in trouble! Get me out of this!"
But what's the use? God himself gave me the word.
He's done it to me.
I can't sleep—
I'm that upset, that troubled.

16-19O Master, these are the conditions in which people live,
and yes, in these very conditions my spirit is still alive—
fully recovered with a fresh infusion of life!
It seems it was good for me
to go through all those troubles.
Throughout them all you held tight to my lifeline.
You never let me tumble over the edge into nothing.
But my sins you let go of,
threw them over your shoulder—good riddance!
The dead don't thank you,
and choirs don't sing praises from the morgue.
Those buried six feet under
don't witness to your faithful ways.
It's the living—live men, live women—who thank you,
just as I'm doing right now.
Parents give their children
full reports on your faithful ways.

20God saves and will save me.
As fiddles and mandolins strike up the tunes,
We'll sing, oh we'll sing, sing,
for the rest of our lives in the Sanctuary of God.

21-22Isaiah had said, "Prepare a poultice of figs and put it on the boil so he may recover."

Hezekiah had said, "What is my cue that it's all right to enter again the Sanctuary of God?"

What an experience he had.....God send Isaiah to tell him that He heard his prayer.....He promises him more years and no death and ALSO tell him how he can know this message from Isaiah is genuine........This is so God he works out details and made himself known to you....he knows what is best,when it is best and how to reveal himself to us...To everyone differently...Amazing when you take a moment to think about this.......

How does the story goes further i will go on and read but ,when i read

Isaiah 39

There Will Be Nothing Left
1 Sometime later, King Merodach-baladan son of Baladan of Babylon sent messengers with greetings and a gift to Hezekiah. He had heard that Hezekiah had been sick and was now well.

2Hezekiah received the messengers warmly. He took them on a tour of his royal precincts, proudly showing them all his treasures: silver, gold, spices, expensive oils, all his weapons—everything out on display. There was nothing in his house or kingdom that Hezekiah didn't show them.

3Later the prophet Isaiah showed up. He asked Hezekiah, "What were these men up to? What did they say? And where did they come from?"

Hezekiah said, "They came from a long way off, from Babylon."

4"And what did they see in your palace?"

"Everything," said Hezekiah. "I showed them the works, opened all the doors and impressed them with it all."

5-7Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Now listen to this Message from God-ofthe-Angel-Armies: I have to warn you, the time is coming when everything in this palace, along with everything your ancestors accumulated before you, will be hauled off to Babylon. God says that there will be nothing left. Nothing. And not only your things but your sons. Some of your sons will be taken into exile, ending up as eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon."

8Hezekiah replied to Isaiah, "Good. If God says so, it's good." Within himself he was thinking, "But surely nothing bad will happen in my lifetime. I'll enjoy peace and stability as long as I live."

His attitude...his response afther the blessing of healing and longer life disappoints me !! How would God look down at his child who He send mesengers to proves himself answer his prayer save him from death.....How God feels about that....Is God not disappointed also...or did He know how Hezkiah would take his healing and blessing in a selfish way..........maybe for granted ...maybe even forget what God did to him???

The thought crossed my mind that how i see clearly how his response or way of living had to be .....Praising God ...giving testimony the rest of his life....Not only wanting to have the attention on himself...!!

Is how i find my attitude and response must be and i caught myself also showing the bad atitude or forget to praise God with EVERYTHING big or small!!

I praise God now, this moment TODAY with the lessons i learn in the stories in the bible....!!

God blesses us ...and believe THE BEST of us no matter he knows, there is always a chance we will dissappoint Him.........Along the way He disciplines us,frequently uses though LOVE to bring out the best.......,and the way is always open to repent to turn a page of our life and write an fresh page........

Thank You Lord thank you Father for all the blessings in my life...,for your protection,for the day you re giving me to Life

Forgive me and others for all our transgressions........for all the times we grieve and disappoint you....

Thank you for seing us through your son Jesus Christ, picking us up ...dusting us of and shine us up to become shining light in this world! Lead us guide us discipline us for always and always Amen

Isaiah 40

Messages of Comfort
Prepare for God's Arrival
1-2 "Comfort, oh comfort my people,"
says your God.
"Speak softly and tenderly to Jerusalem,
but also make it very clear
That she has served her sentence,
that her sin is taken care of—forgiven!
She's been punished enough and more than enough,
and now it's over and done with."

3-5Thunder in the desert!
"Prepare for God's arrival!
Make the road straight and smooth,
a highway fit for our God.
Fill in the valleys,
level off the hills,
Smooth out the ruts,
clear out the rocks.
Then God's bright glory will shine
and everyone will see it.
Yes. Just as God has said."

Moravian Daily Texts ~ July 13 ~

Monday, July 13


Psalm 84:8-12
Isaiah 33:17-35:10; Ephesians 6:1-9


Ask for the ancient paths, where the good way lies; and walk in it, and find
rest for your souls. Jeremiah 6:16

"Go stand at the crossroads and look around.
Ask for directions to the old road,
The tried-and-true road. Then take it.
Discover the right route for your souls.( MSG)

Paul said to the governor, "This I admit to you, that I worship the God of our
ancestors, believing everything laid down according to the law or written in the
prophets." Acts 24:14

( MSG) 14-15"But I do freely admit this: In regard to the Way, which they malign as a dead-end street, I serve and worship the very same God served and worshiped by all our ancestors and embrace everything written in all our Scriptures. And I admit to living in hopeful anticipation that God will raise the dead, both the good and the bad. If that's my crime, my accusers are just as guilty as I am.


God of wisdom, strength, and peace, our days seem to be filled with unrest and
confusion. Yet you provide us with sound, loving direction which leads to peace.
Today we commit to follow your way. Take us by the hand and lead us. Amen.

The verses above i link-up with my fav translation the Message! I don't know if it is my sleepy head at the end of this day but the verses where not stirring anything in me......
Nevertheless verse 35 in Isaiah manage to wake me up! (LOL) to picture things and stirred my heart for the promises that God have for me and for you.......My "desserts" ,"wildplaces" and "badlands" will sing joyousely, celebrate and flower! Isn't that an amazing forcast and oh so worth it to hold on and stay on the path God put before us...to hear and follow His WORD!! I know i want to press-on........

Isaiah 35
The Voiceless Break into Song

1-2 Wilderness and desert will sing joyously, the badlands will celebrate and flower—
Like the crocus in spring, bursting into blossom,
a symphony of song and color.
Mountain glories of Lebanon—a gift.
Awesome Carmel, stunning Sharon—gifts.
God's resplendent glory, fully on display.
God awesome, God majestic.


3-4Energize the limp hands,
strengthen the rubbery knees.
Tell fearful souls,
"Courage! Take heart!
God is here, right here,
on his way to put things right
And redress all wrongs.
He's on his way! He'll save you!"


5-7Blind eyes will be opened,
deaf ears unstopped,
Lame men and women will leap like deer,
the voiceless break into song.
Springs of water will burst out in the wilderness,
streams flow in the desert.
Hot sands will become a cool oasis,
thirsty ground a splashing fountain.
Even lowly jackals will have water to drink,
and barren grasslands flourish richly.

8-10There will be a highway
called the Holy Road.
No one rude or rebellious
is permitted on this road.
It's for God's people exclusively—
impossible to get lost on this road.

Not even fools can get lost on it.
No lions on this road,
no dangerous wild animals—
Nothing and no one dangerous or threatening.
Only the redeemed will walk on it.
The people God has ransomed
will come back on this road.

They'll sing as they make their way home to Zion,
unfading halos of joy encircling their heads,
Welcomed home with gifts of joy and gladness
as all sorrows and sighs scurry into the night.

WEEKLY MEMORY VERSE ~ JOHN 1; 1-2 ~


In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.

John 1:1-2 (NASB)

Again this is the Weekly Memory Verse from

Memorizing this was not so dificult. The gospel of John is so important to read and special.To hear the words of this gospel in a film movie made a lasting impact on me i remember some years ago.

Here you can see this verse in it's context!


Weekend Reflection!


Well this is what my kids did this 1st week of there summerholiday!!
The playing area was in our neighbourhood and "youthworkers" planned activity's with them in the afternoon.






We had our fussing around this 1st week ...I get irritated when it looks like my dd and son (8 and 10yo) are constantly arguing about who is looking witch television program....,who is showering 1st.........When i say clean -up this or that they give eachother the fault.....

But all this are not mayor things.......I let them be and learn to deal with eachother...normally they are at school the mayor part of the day ...so holiday brings new experiences between them and also for me.......

This was a week of leisure for me at home more due to the weather because when i have a free day or holiday ; i love to be more outside our apartment with the kids going to stroll around on markets or one of the beautifull city parks,biking around..... Eating ice-cream or drinking a cold drink on a terras in this metropolitan city we live in.

I think i picture a little my week thought to join in at Cascia with this meme. Different than the others i do during the week and so giving a peek in my daily life.
All have a blessed sunday and i will leave you with a beautifull song of Don moen

SUPER SUNDAY~ PRAISE HIM OUR CREATOR KING ~




Psalm 148

1-5 Hallelujah! Praise God from heaven,
praise him from the mountaintops;
Praise him, all you his angels,
praise him, all you his warriors,
Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, you morning stars;
Praise him, high heaven,
praise him, heavenly rain clouds;
Praise, oh let them praise the name of God—
he spoke the word, and there they were!

6 He set them in place
from all time to eternity;
He gave his orders,
and that's it!

7-12 Praise God from earth,
you sea dragons, you fathomless ocean deeps;
Fire and hail, snow and ice,
hurricanes obeying his orders;
Mountains and all hills,
apple orchards and cedar forests;
Wild beasts and herds of cattle,
snakes, and birds in flight;
Earth's kings and all races,
leaders and important people,
Robust men and women in their prime,
and yes, graybeards and little children.

13-14 Let them praise the name of God—
it's the only Name worth praising.
His radiance exceeds anything in earth and sky;
he's built a monument—his very own people!
Praise from all who love God!
Israel's children, intimate friends of God.
Hallelujah!

1 Timothy 6-8 A devout life does bring wealth, but it's the rich simplicity of being yourself before God. Since we entered the world penniless and will leave it penniless, if we have bread on the table and shoes on our feet, that's enough. (MSG)
I came to read it in a " atempt" to start writing a TT post.....Picture this my friends ...;...It is already far in the afternoon overhere and my 4th summer holiday.....
The weather is the whole week raining and windy.....Lucky for the kids in the afternoon dry so they still can have some fun at an activity center not far from our house doing different sport ( on the moment they are kanoen and i have to pick them up in 1 hour time)
We are a little limited financial wise in doing summer activities away from home....
I caught a cold beginning of the week when the weather changed i quess...
My house is in a "holiday state"..LoL
Waking-up this morning i didn't felt like i'm on a holiday.......
DOES IT SOUND CONTENT !!!!
I don't think so and what does HIS WORD TELL ME........." BE CONTENT...If you have bread and shoes...that is enough"!!
Yes Lord Your so right Father.......
I'm fighting with my flesh...who wants to have it easy.......
A clean apartment or hotel room......room service.....or breakfast served.......
Children activities just at hand or even organized so i can go and have ALONE time with hubby...
Strolling at a beach....lying down etc etc.......
Forgive me Lord...help me to be content with what i have NOW!
Take a seat in my heart again with your spirit of contentment.......
Patience to wait for all your promises.......
Discipline to go to your WORD to hear and see and learn to value the LIFE you give IN and WITH YOU!! So i will feel restored and refreshed like being on a HOLIDAY WITH YOU LORD......! So i can give to the people around me...what you gave me...........Yes father...
I THANK YOU for :
  • MY KIDS.........Learn me more to GUIDE and LOVE them!
  • OUR HOUSE..Learn me to appreciate and take care of it to make it a "haven" for us and a place of hospitality!
  • My MONTH SALARY and vacation money for my Jobsecurity financially: Learn me to become more money wise and how to spend.
  • The WEATHER no matter it is raining : You know best Lord when the sun must shine and when it must rain...Learn me to be CONTENT with every situation and season or weather circumstance.....( or in my life daily)
  • For my BLOGFRIENDS and this TT meme to share YOUR LOVE and WISDOM with eachother; Bless us father with your SPIRIT who is more worthy than anything in this world.
This i pray and Lift up to You as a sacrifice of PRAISE and THANKSGIVING!

SUPER SUNDAY~ Don't be afraid!! ~



Sunday, July 5


Fifth Sunday after Pentecost

Watchword for the Week
Jesus says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9

Ezekiel 2:1-5; Psalm 123
2 Corinthians 12:2-10; Mark 6:1-13


The jar of meal was not emptied, neither did the jug of oil fail, according to
the word of the Lord. 1 Kings 17:16


Do not keep striving for what you are to eat and what you are to drink, and do
not keep worrying. Your Father knows that you need them. Luke 12:29-30

Source of confidence, forgive us when we become worried and are filled with
doubt. We confess that it is our tendency to keep striving for what we need
because we believe that we are all-sufficient. You are the one we can trust.
Give us this day all that we need. Encourage us with the love that we experience
in the good Shepherd, our Savior Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen.

I went to google an image for the 1 kings 17 : 16 and found the pottery picture and to reading o the whole chapter i found interesting and love to see it overhere on my blog......

1 Kings 17:1-16 (NRSV)

Now Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the Lord the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word." The word of the Lord came to him, saying, "Go from here and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. You shall drink from the wadi, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there." So he went and did according to the word of the Lord; he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the wadi. But after a while the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.

Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, "Go now to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and live there; for I have commanded a widow there to feed you." So he set out and went to Zarephath. When he came to the gate of the town, a widow was there gathering sticks; he called to her and said, "Bring me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink." As she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, "Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand." But she said, "As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of meal in a jar, and a little oil in a jug; I am now gathering a couple of sticks, so that I may go home and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die." Elijah said to her, "Do not be afraid; go and do as you have said; but first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterwards make something for yourself and your son. For thus says the Lord the God of Israel: The jar of meal will not be emptied and the jug of oil will not fail until the day that the Lord sends rain on the earth." She went and did as Elijah said, so that she as well as he and her household ate for many days. The jar of meal was not emptied, neither did the jug of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah.

QUOTE from LYSA TERKEUST!! (from " A MESS")
I'm convinced there's a reason the first four letters of Messiah spell mess. We need Him. Only the Messiah can take our mess and turn it into a untangled message of hope, forgiveness, and ultimately love.
