A blessing over the people of the Lord today.

God's promises over our families, the extensions of our families, and over us, who are His children.

God's promises for us today...written in the Bible.  

We love you Lord.  
We are your children.  
Our children are Your children and our families are Your families.

You will always be with us, if we will seek you.  Your promises stand, and will hold. 

A blessing over the people of the Lord today.

The people of Israel will become like mighty warriors, and their hearts will be made happy as if by wine.  

Their children, too, will see it and be glad; their hearts will rejoice in the Lord. 

(8) When I whistle to them, they will come running, for I have redeemed them.  

From the few who are left, they will grow as numerous as they were before.

(9) Though I have scattered them like seeds among the nations, they will still remember me in distant lands.  

They and their children will survive and return again to Israel. 

(10) I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria.  I will resettle them in Gilead and Lebanon until there is no more room for them all.

(11) They will pass safely through the sea of distress, for the waves of the sea will be held back, and the waters of the Nile will dry up.  

The pride of Assyria will be crushed, and the rule of Egypt will end. 

(12) By my power I will make my people strong, and by my authority they will go wherever they wish. I, the Lord, have spoken!”  ~Zechariah 10:7-12

God's promises hover and hang over us today.  He drapes His Word over our shoulders and also spreads His Scriptures before us like a carpet-runner on our path of life.  

And don't kid yourself...His promises stand, but it is not always easy, and it won't be.  

They will pass safely through the sea of distress, for the waves of the sea will be held back, and the waters of the Nile will dry up.  ~Zechariah 10:11

Trial, hardship, pain, sorrow and distress will definitely come.   ...And have. 
(Can I get an "Amen"?)

But our Lord brings us through it.

They will pass safely through the sea of distress...  ~Zechariah 10:11

The waves of this world threaten to overtake us, but the Lord holds them back and He holds us up.  We are protected by our Father and His Word is the umbrella we stand under and the rock we stand upon.

...for the waves of the sea will be held back...  ~Zechariah 10:11

Even when we feel as if we are drowning, our Lord will dry up our high waters.

...and the waters of the Nile will dry up.  ~Zechariah 10:11

~~~

We do not persevere or succeed on our own.  And yet, God's people have a promise over them...over us. A providence over us.  A power over us...God's!

By my power I will make my people strong, and by my authority they will go wherever they wish. I, the Lord, have spoken!”  ~Zechariah 10:12

A blessing over the family of Christ today.

May we feel His strength today.  God's Word arms us with it. 
By my power I will make my people strong...  ~Zachariah 1:12

May we seek and yield and bow before the authority of God in our hearts and lives.  And may we be blessed in spirit and fruit by doing so!!  

...and by my authority they will go wherever they wish.  
I, the Lord, have spoken!”  ~Zechariah 10:12

~~~

A blessing over the people of the Lord today...God's Word over the people of the Lord today.

Blessings,

It’s never too late to turn to the Lord.   And--it’s never too late to turn back to the Lord.   Do we GET IT?   King Hezekiah GOT IT.   The people in his area (Israel) had not been following the Lord, and they had fallen away from the (God-ordained) traditions that the Lord had designed to connect His people with Himself,  like going to church (Temple), and like celebrating the festival of Passover.  So they sent a proclamation throughout all Israel...inviting everyone to come to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover of the  Lord , the God of Israel. The people had not been celebrating it in great numbers as required in the Law ( 2 Chronicles 30:5). Hezekiah  invited the people back to church!  But how to get the word out? He  wrote letters of invitation to the people (2 Chronicles 30:1), but letters without delivery are dead messages.  Hezekiah needed to get the letters ... to God's people! At the king’s command, runners were...

Ever been around boys (of any age)?  They don't concern themselves with talking about   other  boys...they are not (usually) comparative that way, and would prefer to be competitive instead.  They are often contented with jokes and sounds, rather than defaming other guys or discussing their shortfalls. But...ever been around women ( of any age )?  For some sinful reason, our conversations often seem to p ick-a-little, talk-a-little, pick some more and talk, talk, talk about other women.  We  simmer into a boil as we digress and regress into unbecoming chatter about   other  women.   It's a terrible habit and yet girls in elementary school don't need to be taught how and even elderly church biddies can't quite fully withdraw.  We all still fall to condemning others  from time to time.  We have this sinful draw to make ourselves feel good by chirping back and forth and making someone   else   feel bad. It's na...

The earth is the   Lord ’s, and everything in it.   The world and all its people belong to him.   (2)  For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas  and built it on the ocean depths.   ~Psalm 24:1-2 We belong to Him, but also…our world belongs to Him: and  everything in it .   Everything.   Every tree and flower, every person, every pelican, everything. How are we responding to that glorious Truth today?   Can we praise Him today?  Can we acknowledge and absorb (and respond!) to the awesome Truth that we belong to Him :  the Creator of all things, and our Creator?   He laid the earth’s foundation ...and (even)  the earth  knows that it belongs to him ... Do we? Are we choosing to respond to Him today?   The trees do.    Looking out my window as I read these words of God, I saw these words  proven by God as n aked tree-branch arms were raised in praise of their Creat...
