October 9, 2024 “ 7 ¶ Praise the LORD from the earth, You great sea creatures and all the depths; 8 Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His word; 9 Mountains and all hills; Fruitful trees and all cedars; 10 Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and flying fowl; 11 Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth; 12 Both young men and maidens; Old men and children. 13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, For His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven. 14 And He has exalted the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints—Of the children of Israel, A people near to Him. Praise the LORD!” (Ps alm 148:7-14 NKJV) Singing of whales and dolphins Neighing and braying of equine Trumpets and percussion join in Strings from diversity of birds Hissing of snakes and serpents Music of rain and hail offered Rumble and crashing of storms Mountains and hills rumble in Trees whisper and dance prai...

Praise the LORD from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights! 2 Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts! 3 Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light! 4 Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, And you waters above the heavens! 5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, For He commanded and they were created. 6 He also established them forever and ever; He made a decree which shall not pass away.” (Ps alm 148:1-6 NKJV) Praise God high Praise God below Even hell below All will praise God Prayerful question: Does my prayer challenge myself and others to praise God? I believe even if God did nothing for you He is still deserving of all praise and worship for who He is! (Praise is for who God is while thanks is for what God has done.)

More seeds of shadows Today found a scar above my knee Memories flooded back to me But which of two memories can it be God what is happening to me First the storm howls about me Waves pound and pull at me Salty taste fills my mouth My ears hurt by storms scream I fight to not lose feet or planes Chaining planes and gripping toes Chains break planes set free Tumbling over and into me Toes not made to grip on steel My body by storm tossed, reels Rain like knives my skin peels Wind knocks me back on heel My friend dies in howling storm His death is a howling wind in me But is this where scar begins in me I do not know and yet to see Second is fire raging storm at sea Fighting the fire for life of me Wall of fire pouring forth from sea Heat burns and melts about me Pouring water doing little good Other hose keeps me alive Artificial air keeps me alive Tag teaming men fight fire Weary men drag hose and fee...

October 7, 2024 “ 12 ¶ Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! 13 For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your children within you. 14 He makes peace in your borders, And fills you with the finest wheat. 15 He sends out His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly. 16 He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes; 17 He casts out His hail like morsels; Who can stand before His cold? 18 He sends out His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow. 19 He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel. 20 He has not dealt thus with any nation; And as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise the LORD!” (Ps alm 147:12-20 NKJV) Praise the Lord in your city Praise the Lord in your congregation Praise the Lord in your family Praise the Lord in your in your heart Prayerful question: Do I lift up God as much as I lift up my needs and requests?

God’s Great Fabric God thought of me, and fit me into the fabric of life. I could see where I was attached to the fabric that made up my parents and their parents too. Many others were attached to me here and there at points in the fabric. Some I couldn’t even remember who they were, but the connections remained strong and true. As I looked farther along I saw a great rumpled area that was pulled away from all but some other rumpled areas of fabric. I asked God why He had messed up the fabric and He told me, “That is where you pulled away from Me!” Farther along I saw where the fabric settled back down, leaving only little pulled places here and there. I saw the deepest connection with Bonnie as our fabric combined to become a new fabric made brighter and more vibrant by the combination. Then came the tiny stitches of my children. I wept as I saw the rumpled areas of their fabric, and then celebrated as I saw it settle out farther along to combine with other fabric to becom...

October 6, 2024 “ 1 ¶ Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful. 2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. 3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. 4 He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. 5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. 6 The LORD lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground. 7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; Sing praises on the harp to our God, 8 Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains. 9 He gives to the beast its food, And to the young ravens that cry. 10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. 11 The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear Him, In those who hope in His mercy.” (Ps alm 147:1-11 NKJV) To sing praise to God is good is beautiful is heali...

October 5, 2024 “ 5 ¶ Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the LORD his God, 6 Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever, 7 Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners. 8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; The LORD raises those who are bowed down; The LORD loves the righteous. 9 The LORD watches over the strangers; He relieves the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked He turns upside down. 10 The LORD shall reign forever—Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!” (Ps alm 146:5-10 NKJV) To those who are in prison God gives freedom To those serving time in prison God gives freedom To those who make their life a prison God gives freedom To those imprisoned by others God gives freedom Prayerful question: Do I pray as one who has been set free by God?

“ Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth.” - Rev John Wesley

October 4, 2024 “ 1 ¶ Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul! 2 While I live I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. 3 Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish.” (Ps alm 146:1-4 NKJV) Praise the Lord Do I praise God I should praise But do I praise Prayerful question: Do I cry out in prayer for help when it is hard to praise God?

I see flames rolling through The cries to fight the flames Ringing within my ears Then other screams appear Fear like a pall overwhelms Will anyone get out of here Water bubbles at my feet Shoes melt to metal deck Thick metal walls turn white Will it melt or spread fire OBA must be changed To create air I can breathe Up and down little break Weary deeper than soul If fire wins we will lose Fire, shark or patrol boat Flames get smaller and Heat no longer burns Clothing smokes and dries Walls turn red than dark Up the ladder last time Burned and bleeding lie Lining hallway writhing Pain undimmed still Suddenly I am in tears Weary and fully worn I left behind in the fire My blood, sweat and tears (OBA stands for Oxygen Breathing Apparatus which produces oxygen from chemicals.)

October 3, 2024 “ 10 ¶ All Your works shall praise You, O LORD, And Your saints shall bless You. 11 They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, And talk of Your power, 12 To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, And the glorious majesty of His kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. 14 The LORD upholds all who fall, And raises up all who are bowed down. 15 The eyes of all look expectantly to You, And You give them their food in due season. 16 You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. 17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works. 18 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. 19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them. 20 The LORD preserves all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy. 21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD, And all flesh shall bless ...

Years ago I read this article about the meaning of hamas in the Bible. I share it with you here. Hamas By the generation of the flood the whole earth had become corrupt, or polluted, and was filled with hamas ( Genesis 6:11 ). The wide range of meanings of the word hamas in the Old Testament encompasses almost the entire spectrum of evil. The term can stand for evil of any sort ( Psalm 11 : 5 , Proverbs 13:2 ); it may simply stand for falsehood, as in “false witness” ( Exodus 23 : 1 , Deuteronomy 19:15 , Psalm 35:1 ) and it occurs with mirma ( Isaiah 60:18 ; Jeremiah 6:7 , 20:8 ), with the two together meaning something like “plunder and pillage.” Hamas has a very close connection to bloodshed as can be seem from Ezekiel 9:9 . Like bloodshed, the term hamas can be used in a physical way, for hamas (or the pollution from it) can cover clothes ( Malachi 2:16 ) and hands ( Job 16:17 , 1 Chronicles 12:17 ). In Genesis, the earth was filled with hamas and had itself become pollu...

October 2, 2024 “ 1 ¶ «A Praise of David.» I will extol You, my God, O King; And I will bless Your name forever and ever. 2 Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever. 3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable. 4 One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts. 5 I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, And on Your wondrous works. 6 Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, And I will declare Your greatness. 7 They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, And shall sing of Your righteousness. 8 The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. 9 The LORD is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works.” (Ps alm 145:1-9 NKJV) I will praise God I will extol God I will bless God God deserves it Prayerful question: Do I seek new ways and new words to praise, extol and bless God wh...

October 1, 2024 “ 9 ¶ I will sing a new song to You, O God; On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You, 10 The One who gives salvation to kings, Who delivers David His servant From the deadly sword. 11 Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, Whose mouth speaks lying words, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood— 12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; That our daughters may be as pillars, Sculptured in palace style; 13 That our barns may be full, Supplying all kinds of produce; That our sheep may bring forth thousands And ten thousands in our fields; 14 That our oxen may be well-laden; That there be no breaking in or going out; That there be no outcry in our streets. 15 Happy are the people who are in such a state; Happy are the people whose God is the LORD!” (Ps alm 144:9-15 NKJV) I will sing a new song to God the old songs are not enough I must share all God is doing for me yesterday and today Prayerful...

“ Count your blessings, name them one by one Count your many blessing see what God has done.” The blessings always begin with You For You have always been so True I think of family who offer love And Your Church, family from above For this day a gift to be loved out For this moment please keep me stout For all the good things You do provide For all the bad things You do hide But lately I must give thanks I see For that which seems not good to me For pain and suffering that does not end For loss and grief that causes my bend For memories that seem a nightmare Which drive me to the point of despair Flashbacks seem more real to me Than all around me I can see For screams unheard within my soul For tears which I cannot control For knowledge that brings me fear As I lose all that I hold dear But I give thanks for I know by You Good will somehow shine through And I give thanks for this pain As You rebirth me again 11/...

September 30, 2024 “ 1 ¶ «A Psalm of David.» Blessed be the LORD my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle— 2 My lovingkindness and my fortress, My high tower and my deliverer, My shield and the One in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me. 3 LORD, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him? 4 Man is like a breath; His days are like a passing shadow. 5 Bow down Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. 6 Flash forth lightning and scatter them; Shoot out Your arrows and destroy them. 7 Stretch out Your hand from above; Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, From the hand of foreigners, 8 Whose mouth speaks vain words, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.” (Ps alm 144:1-8 NKJV) Train me for the spiritual war going on around and within me Bow down and deign to fight with us and for us my Lord God Prayerful question: Do I...

September 29, 2024 “ 7 ¶ Answer me speedily, O LORD; My spirit fails! Do not hide Your face from me, Lest I be like those who go down into the pit. 8 Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You. 9 Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies; In You I take shelter. 10 Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness. 11 Revive me, O LORD, for Your name’s sake! For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble. 12 In Your mercy cut off my enemies, And destroy all those who afflict my soul; For I am Your servant.” (Ps alm 143:7-12 NKJV) I need you now God Show Yourself to me Teach me Lord God Revive me for You Prayerful question: Does my prayer seek God’s will to be done rather than my own?

Shadows are cast by light but some are cast by darkness Darkness getting into the Light is where evil shadows reside Darkness trying to fool people mocking, mimicking the Light Do not be fooled by the shadows they are not shade but are shades Do not be fooled for they bring with them the trinity of death (trinity of death is physical, emotional and spiritual death)

September 28, 2024 “ 1 ¶ «A Psalm of David.» Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. 2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. 3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. 4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. 5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. 6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.” (Ps alm 143:1-6 AV) God please be my righteousness otherwise I can never be justified The evil one persecutes my soul God please be my Living Water Prayerful question: Do I pray for Justification (just-as-if-I-can) from God who alone can make me right with God?

September 27, 2024 “ 4 ¶ Look on my right hand and see, For there is no one who acknowledges me; Refuge has failed me; No one cares for my soul. 5 I cried out to You, O LORD: I said, “You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living. 6 Attend to my cry, For I am brought very low; Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than I. 7 Bring my soul out of prison, That I may praise Your name; The righteous shall surround me, For You shall deal bountifully with me.”” (Ps alm 142:4-7 NKJV) No one knows me No one cares for me I cry out to the Lord Please be my refuge Prayerful question: Does prayer form my God-esteem as a reminder the Father was willing to offer His only begotten Son for me?
