WFW - PSALM 78



Psalm 78:21-31 (The Message)


21-31 When God heard that, he was furious—
his anger flared against Jacob,
he lost his temper with Israel.
It was clear they didn't believe God,
had no intention of trusting in his help
.
But God helped them anyway, commanded the clouds
and gave orders that opened the gates of heaven.
He rained down showers of manna to eat,
he gave them the Bread of Heaven.
They ate the bread of the mighty angels;
he sent them all the food they could eat
.
He let East Wind break loose from the skies,
gave a strong push to South Wind.
This time it was birds that rained down—
succulent birds, an abundance of birds.
He aimed them right for the center of their camp;
all round their tents there were birds.
They ate and had their fill;
he handed them everything they craved on a platter.
But their greed knew no bounds
;
they stuffed their mouths with more and more.
Finally, God was fed up, his anger erupted
he cut down their brightest and best,
he laid low Israel's finest young men.

YESTERDAY'S ACTIVITY!!
















Moravian Daily Texts ~June 2 in THE MESSAGE ~

Tuesday, June 2


Psalm 71:19-24
Proverbs 25; 2 Corinthians 7:1-13a


Life on this earth doesn't add up to much, but God's heavenly army keeps everything going.No one can interrupt his work, no one can call his rule into question. (MSG)
He does what he wills with the host of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth.
There is no one who can stay his hand or say to him, 'What are you doing?'
Daniel 4:35


God brought you alive—right along with Christ! Think of it! All sins forgiven, the slate wiped clean, that old arrest warrant canceled and nailed to Christ's cross. He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets. (MSG)
God disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public example of them,
triumphing over them in Christ. Colossians 2:15

Heavenly Father, we sometimes fail to realize that it is your will and not our
own that will be done on earth. Forgive us when we lose sight of what you are
doing in our lives. May our thoughts, actions, and words reflect your mercy and
forgiveness. Amen.

" The Shepherd who is calling.. "
Monday, June 1
Psalm 71:9-18
Proverbs 24; 2 Corinthians 6:3-18


As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I
look after my sheep. Ezekiel 34:12

Jesus said, "I have come to call not the righteous but sinners to repentance."
Luke 5:32

Gracious Comforter, we often find ourselves separated from the flock, scattered
amidst life's trials and tribulations. We know you are always with us, keeping
watch over us. Help us, O Lord, to hear you calling us back into your fold.
Amen.

Moravian Daily Texts ~ PENTECOST ~

Day of Pentecost

Watchword for the Week
O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all. Psalm 104:24

More majestic than the thunders of mighty waters, more majestic than the waves
of the sea, majestic on high is the Lord! Psalm 93:4

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And
suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind. All of
them were filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:1-2,4

Holy Spirit, move in us like a mighty wind, filling us with your energy. Teach
us new ways to move within our world in order to display your majesty and bring
others to believe in you. Amen.


Shall we read today together....so God's powerfull Word can be a balm for our soul and make us stand firm!

Blessings.



May 31 readings
Acts 2:1-21; Psalm 104:24-34,35b
Romans 8:22-27; John 15:26-27,16:4b-15


What draw my attention!!

In Acts

"In the Last Days," God says,
"I will pour out my Spirit
on every kind of people:
Your sons will prophesy,
also your daughters;
Your young men will see visions,
your old men dream dreams.
When the time comes,
I'll pour out my Spirit
On those who serve me, men and women both,
and they'll prophesy.
I'll set wonders in the sky above
and signs on the earth below,
Blood and fire and billowing smoke,
the sun turning black and the moon blood-red,
Before the Day of the Lord arrives,
the Day tremendous and marvelous;
And whoever calls out for help
to me, God, will be saved."


In the Psalm
33-35 Oh, let me sing to God all my life long,
sing hymns to my God as long as I live!
Oh, let my song please him;
I'm so pleased to be singing to God.


The whole of the reading part in ROMANS spoke volumes to me....

22-25All around us we observe a pregnant creation. The difficult times of pain throughout the world are simply birth pangs. But it's not only around us; it's within us. The Spirit of God is arousing us within. We're also feeling the birth pangs. These sterile and barren bodies of ours are yearning for full deliverance. That is why waiting does not diminish us, any more than waiting diminishes a pregnant mother. We are enlarged in the waiting. We, of course, don't see what is enlarging us. But the longer we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy.

26-28Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God.
That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

WEEKLY MEMORY VERSE ~ John 13: 35~



John 13:35 (New Living Translation)
35 Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”

It made me remember how this LOVE must look like !

1 Corinthians 13:4-9 (New International Version)

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

This song and video i also came accross wich is talking about this LOVE in practice

Than Sings My Soul Saturday!~.....The voice of the Savior........~

Voice Of a Savior

Written by Sam Mizell and Matthew West

Some people try to listen to the bottom of a bottle
Some people try to listen to a needle in their arm
Some people try to listen to the money in their pocket
Some people try to listen to another's arms

You and I are not that different
We got a void and we're just trying to fill it up
With something that will give just a little peace
All we want is a hand to reach to
Open arms that say I love you
We'd give anything to hear
The voice of a Savior

Some people try to find it with blind ambition
Some people try to find it where no one else has gone
Some people try to find it in the crowns of victory
Some people get defeated lose the strength to carry on

Some people try to find it in the shadow of a steeple
Some people try to find it in the back row pew
Some people try to find it in the arms of Jesus
That's where I found it, how about you?


The artist who sings this song is Mandisa.

A- B -C of THE WORD......P.........and "Dutch treats give away"

P

"Isn't it obvious that your God is present with you; that he has given you peaceful relations with everyone around? My part in this was to put down the enemies, subdue the land to God and his people; your part is to give yourselves, heart and soul, to praying to your God. So get moving—build the sacred house of worship to God! Then bring the Chest of the Covenant of God and all the holy furnishings for the worship of God into the sanctuary built in honor of God."

PRESENT- PEACEFUL -PUT -PRAYING

This time i did not look for the letter in the verses i shared on my blog last week.
I felt to search for a verse at biblegateway.com for the words peaceful and praying!

I found this verse and strangely it felt it was spoken straightly to me.......especially the brown part." Give youreselfe heart and soul to praying!"

I remembered i said in my "Memory verse post this week" that i had to do an heart ad soul job!! And i remember praying faitfully and with passion that time was a struggle. It was like i was in a "rud" felt like my communication with God was kind of "empty".

So this verse is a beautiful heartfelt one....
I want to play a game with you also ...to see if you can answer these questions.......
1 Who said it...?
2 To whome it was directed to....?
3 Where can you find it ?
( No cheating with looking -up on the internet or concordance....)

The 1st commenter with the 3 good answers wins a "Dutch treats" gift! Comments untill Sunday at midnight ( Dutch time you can read it on my blog)
Have fun blessings for the weekend and don't forget to head over to "Greylike snuffie " for more readings on this Letter!
==============================================
Give-away is......CLOSED!!

1 It was said by King David

2 To all of Israel's leaders

3 1 Chronicles 22:17



Fearless Friday ~ WE ARE OUT SINGING THE GOOD NEWS!!~

Photobucket

Fearless Fridays, a day where bloggers commit to share their prayer requests and pray for one another. To participate in Fearless Fridays, head over to Angela our host at "Free Spirit Haven" for more info and to link -up, or leave your prayer request in the comments to this post,than i will pray for you my friend.

This afternoon in a "short break" i had ; between rushing at noon from work to see a" a play" at school from my son,coming "upstairs" ( i life above the school) and " the play" from my daughter.....My head body and mind was seeking for a moment of REST......Especially it was also our courtcase day..... and the hour and moment the case was going on........My hubby went to it in person with our lawyer...In prayer we need to back-up our hubby's anytime any moment as possible so....

What is best to do. Especially when your mind is racing...* smile*; is to take" The Psalms" and pray it over ourselfse......frequently they go over in my own prayer because your spirit is settled and is free again to pray....

These are the ones i prayed this afternoon As you feel to put your name also in them....


Psalm 3 (The Message)

1-2 God! Look! Enemies past counting! Enemies sprouting like mushrooms,
Mobs of them all around me Bernice, roaring their mockery:
"Hah! No help for her from God!"

3-4 But you, God, shield me on all sides;
You ground my feet, you lift my head high;
With all my might I shout up to God,
His answers thunder from the holy mountain.

5-6 I stretch myself out. I sleep.
Then I'm up again—rested, tall and steady,
Fearless before the enemy mobs
Coming at me from all sides.

7 Up, God! My God, help me!
Slap their faces,
First this cheek, then the other,
Your fist hard in their teeth! ( My spirit eye saw this figh!! God kicking them wow it made me smile..)

8 Real help comes from God.
Your blessing clothes your people!

Psalm 21 (The Message)

A David Psalm


1-7Your strength, God, is the king's Mine ( Queens ; are we not?!!)strength. Helped, me hollering Hosannas.
You gave me exactly what i wanted;
you didn't hold back.
You filled ( are filling) my arms with gifts;
you gave me a right royal welcome.
I wanted a good life; you gave it to me,
and then (will) made (make) it a long life as a bonus.
You lifted me high and bright as a cumulus cloud,
then dressed me in rainbow colors.
You pile blessings on me;
you make me glad when you smile.
Is it any wonder the QUEEN( I) loves God?
that she's sticking with the Best?

8-12 With a fistful of enemies in one hand
and a fistful of haters in the other,
he radiate with such brilliance
that they cringe as before a furnace.
Now the furnace swallows them whole,
the fire eats them alive!
You purge the earth of their progeny,
you wipe the slate clean.
All their evil schemes, the plots they cook up,
have fizzled—every one.
You sent them packing;
they couldn't face me.

13 Show your strength, God, so no one can miss it.
We are out singing the good news!

Thankfull thursday ~THE LORD CHOOSE...... ~



Sonya at Truth4theJourney and Lynn from SpirituallyUnequalMarriage are hosting this thursday this special meme!
I was looking if Lynn posted already the theme for todays TT post, but not yet!

I know i'm verry early this thursday...I know i'm ahead in time with most of you my readers.....

But i believe i have found a theme the Lord wanted me to look at because, while reading the blog post about Stellan .The "miracle" baby i asked for prayer( scroll to button under). I was praising The Lord with His mummy that Stellan came this far!
And just now i read my Moravian text verses for wednesday b/c i read a lot verses on WFW ( Word filled wednesday's) and didn't read my own daily verses ( sigh..) for the day and must confess and be honest to you.I did not spend time alone with the Lord wednesday ( "sigh "i don't want to evaluate the whole week at all!!). My mind was on Him and with Him during the day but ALONE TIME........( to much distracted and making wrong choices in prioritizing...)

Forgive me Father Lord for this lack of my....I confess this to you right this moment Lord. I didn't put my priorities straight and went through the day in a "blur" Amen

And STILL and this brings me to my own "theme of Thankfullness"
" The Lord CHOOSE............."

When the man covered with leprosy saw Jesus, he bowed with his face to theground and begged him, "Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean." Then Jesusstretched out his hand, touched him, and said, "I do choose. Be made clean."Luke 5:12-13

You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. John 15:16

The 1st one was my wednesday " reading " dayverse and the second was Amy-Deanna her verse to open wednesday's meme !

When i read Stellan's report today, and those verses later.....I thought of our "Sovereign" God.......who KNOWS EVERYTHING BEST when to heal.... when to wait and show Himself in the whole "healing proces"in this Life , when to call us back to Him in Heaven where there is NO pain and suffering and we are there perfect together with Him....., when to send us out and appoint us to produce, when to protect...........when to ......fill it in my friends!!

I thank YOU FATHER GOD when you choose...

  • Just now to speak to my heart and listen to my prayer for forgiveness.
  • I'm so thankfull that i read in Your Word (even not knowing anymore where it is written),that i can plead on The blood shed for me for anything...and that you wash us whiter than snow........!!
  • To heal my body,soul and mind before...everyday and the day's to come
  • To send Your son to us from Heaven.I thank You Lord Jesus that You came to endure our sins,and to life under us and still with us everyday in Spirit!
  • That you ROSE AGAIN!! And CHOOSE to manifest this power in our Life daily.For the choice to send down your SPIRIT to comfort and strenghten and be EVERYTHING for us!

Thank You Lord!

(Don't forget to make your own TT and read others.....He CHOOSE YOU to praise Him today! )

WFW ~ Isaiah 60 ~




Isaiah 60 ( MSG)

People Returning for the Reunion

1-7 "Get out of bed, Jerusalem! Wake up.
Put your face in the sunlight.
God's bright glory has risen for you.
The whole earth is wrapped in darkness,

all people sunk in deep darkness,
But God rises on you,
his sunrise glory breaks over you.
Nations will come to your light,
kings to your sunburst brightness.
Look up! Look around!
Watch as they gather, watch as they approach you:
Your sons coming from great distances,
your daughters carried by their nannies.
When you see them coming you'll smile—big smiles!
Your heart will swell and, yes, burst!

WEEKLY MEMORY VERSE ~ Math 22: 37-39



Matthew 22:37-39

And He said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.".....(NASB)

37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'(NIV)

37And He replied to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect).
38This is the great (most important, principal) and first commandment.
39And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself.(Amplified Bible)

37-40Jesus said, "'Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.' This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.' These two commands are pegs; everything in God's Law and the Prophets hangs from them." (MSG)


As you know i Love the MSG version....Love the Lord with ALL our Passion- Prayer and Intelligence!!

And our neighbours ( people we come accross with) as ourselfs!!


Memorizing was not hard for me....My reflection about this verse..how i work it out was hard...I don't know if i am to "hard" on myself

But i struggle in the physical realm since i can remember to give my ALL ............

Evenzo in the spiritual realm i stayed long in the place to feel Loved and that i can trust God...And i praise God for that and the healing power of His LOVE in my Life......

I had a place to go and share myself with my heavenly father......


As i said the MSG version says it right Love with ALL Passion- Prayer and Intelligence.

I had to work hard on the Passion and also the Prayer side a SOUL and HEART Job!!


And i realized along the way why ,was said that Loving God must come 1st and alongside together goes loving your neighbour!!


To Love as how God sees it...no hidden agenda's ...doing without expecting back...To Love un-selfishly...Is ONLY possible when He ....His wisdom...with His strenght etc.....is the engine/fuel to get me doing( loving)

I did it without...and got burnt-out.....and or desillusioned!!


So those thoughts went through my head........

To Love Sacrificially...To Love God with ALL that i have.


I pray for myself and for every Christian ,make me (us) a servant Lord conforming to do your will daily in the small and big things services to Him and to others..In Jesus Name i pray Amen

( don't forget to head over to Beth at Powerof Your Love for more links to read about this vers and the new verse for coming week) Peggy from AmazingGrace ...... wrote also a lovely post about this vers)

just name the other title related to your comment, this way we can all read
through, and you will be sure that blogger sees your comment next week. If you
like what you read become a follower and make a new friend! We all love new
friends!

Here is my "Blogger Appreciation Post!"

In a way i "roll" in this blogging myself....Before i was a fervent reader of blogwriters from p31 ministry.That i opened an blog and dare to write is to me the leading of God....He knows that my desire is to grow in His Word. He knows i love to read books and blogs concerning His Word,He knows i need Christian Friends in real life and online to " spur" and direct me to grow in His Word......And He knew i CAN'T STAND IT when i can't figure someting out.......
I opened a blog account to respond in others there blog but last December
Edie from Rich Gifts had a give away for a BLOG MAKEOVER and THAT atracted me to join because i wanted to start blogging in a BEAUTIFULL BLOG !!...LOL..So to have more change you had to post about this give away.......I will not tell you how much figuring out it took me to start -up this whole thing.....End of the story was i didn't win. BUT i met some new bloggers and i went on reading and commenting.I discovered meme's and start using that to write blogs........and along the way i saw and see God's hand in all of this

Daveda gave some points to write about and i gave them a thought as an evaluation of exactly 5 month's of blogging!It was also good to reflect on my different blogposts from the last 5 month's...

Why you blog
In a way i notice it is therapeutic for me for my Mind and Spirit to focuss on God and to make a practical dailylink to what i'm learning!
The reading of blogs and receiving comments inspires and encourages. A whole new world opened to me a world of Christian woman who are building up friendships online and encourage eachother to stand strong in The Lord and pray together..

Why you like to write
I don't see myself yet as a writer...LOL....
I always wrote my thoughts on paper before but more to remember things or write down what i'm learning out of the bible or Christian books....
I write also my blogs in my second or third languge so to say.......The language i spoke my whole life is Dutch beside my native language Surinamees.....I come to love english due to meeting my husband...I began to think a lot in english and i discovered that i love the bible story's more when i read it in english.........English christian books helped me a lot also to grow spiritually

How reading the blogs of others has touched your heart
Where must i began.... I read so much heartfelt blogs of woman who are so passionate in SEEKING The Lord and bringing over THE WISDOM they learned......Others are so TRANSPARENT about there DAILY LIFE and STRUGGLES. This touches my heart a lot because this is HOW God intend us to be and share with eachother as Christians.We have all the same way to go in Life : seeking salvation, working on leading a holy Life to be at the end with our Lord and Savior and He saying to us "WELL DONE mY FAITFULL SERVANT"!

What God has done in your life through blogging
God is bringing out of me what He is learning me and want me to put so to say" pen to paper" so i can read it over and over so it will become something of myself AND He shows me how i can be a blessing to others.....

Tell us about some of the special people you have meet...etc

The 1st special person i met is
Edie from Rich Gifts she is so creative and passionate for the Lord......and blesses a lot of bloggers with her blogmakeovers and graphics!

The meme's i did since the beginning are THANKFULL THURSDAY hostesses are
Sonya from Truth 4 the Journey and Iris from GraceAlone.
Due to Iris her blog break I met LYNN from SpirituallyUnequalMarriage and
Laurie from WOMEN TAKING A STAND who are hosting now for her.

Along the way i think when i was linking-up on the WordFilled Wednesdays i met
LauraLeeShaw from SelaPausePonderPraise. I soooooooooooooooo love the Graphics she makes on those days to picture out a bibleverse.......And she encouraged bloggers for her....post to write there testimony......I remember as the day of yesterday that i felt the "nudge" to write it and the battle in my mind about this.......So the day i saw the email that she decide to post the story's of 11 writers and i was one of them.....I could not believe it and i think that was a experience i will not forget...I never gave a testimony in my life or even gave it a thought before........A lot happened in real life around that publishing date and i can tell you the enemy was not amused and tried to take my joy away but He failed......!!
This was the blogpost about
"My Story" and this was how Laurie Lee published it.

Bloggers who i learned a lot in their post concerning indept meanings of the bible words or who are really TEACHING and the link to daily Life are
Laurie-Ann from A Magnolia's Heart Beats
Beth fromThe Power of Your Love and warmHarte host together with Peggy fromAMAZING GRACE~Mazes, Messes, Miracles and other sisters a memorizing meme "Bible Instruction Before Leaving Earth" what is such a blessing to me every monday to write on that day about the weekverse.

Special moments and written blogs in those 5 month's
Is a writing on a wednesday
WFW - 1 john 3:1 " He is our Sheperd and we are HIS Sheep" and on SUPER SUNDAY " To be in THE LIGHT of THE LORD ".To see how they are composed and my thoughts with it...I came a long way in those month's with composing blogs...LOL.....I notice the Power in SCRIPTURE ,PICTURE inter twined with music.......
This was my verry
1st blog with scripture and a message but not so apealing yet i find but still powerfull!!

The idea to blog about memories of x-mas i found on the blog of
Greg C and writing 7 Christmases was in a way therapeutic for me

The Decision to join in writing
New Years Meditations! suggested by Lori ( laurelwreathsreflections) and the writing of it made me realize God has a plan with me blogging and that was the time i committed myself to blog faitfully!

My 1st award for a "Fabulouse blog" was given by Laurie from
Supernatural Living that was also a memorable moment....

In the month of March i felt i brought accross in different writings the message the Holy Spirit wanted me to bring. One i remember as "My miror post
"~ FACE TO FACE ~ most of the commentors on that day are still following my blog

SUPER SUNDAY~ ASCENSION SUNDAY ~

Ascension Sunday Seventh Sunday of Easter

It is a Super Sunday isn't it let's praise and thank God for ALL that He has done and is doing for us.
Let's "storm" to His throne with our prayers and songs of praises!

This morning i was contemplating what to write in this SS post.....Through blogging about God and praising Him or looking how He is at work in my life and the comments and to read other blogs. I'm growing closer to Him and in His Love for me...........

LOVE is the basis/ beginning of everyting ..........
The memorizing verse for this week meme at
"ThePowerofYourLove" is

And He said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.".....Matthew 22:37-39 (NASB)

We must love in the way He loves us! A sacrificial love......,with all our heart,soul and mind.....that was my "thoughtflow these last days... to love "Sacrificially"
What does that mean to me how it looks practically in relation to me family members......my neighbours...co-workers.....
I will work out my thoughts and post them tomorrow (monday) when we write about the memory verse and link-up overthere..

But to my surprise when i open up my google reader today those are the words what came accross to me....and i don't want to withhold you this devotional and thoughts of a sister at
this blog

"I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know:
the only ones among you who will be really happy
are those who have sought and found
how to serve."
Albert Schweitzer



I'm not very good at serving. I want to be, but I tend to have my own agendas, my own timetable, and being task-oriented, I like to get things done...my things. I'm quite happy to help other people, but it's better if it fits in with my plans for the day or the week.

And yet, as followers of Christ, we're supposed to serve others. And as a leader, I'm supposed to be servant-hearted. But to be honest, it's much easier said than done. I'm still trying to figure out how it all works practically........( to read more head over to her place)
Sing with me together this song my friends and head over to peggy to read more SS post!

Feel free to leave an message that you came over !

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.
