I came to this table this morning after a fitful night of dreams. So, turning it all over to God during my morning Bible Read was a welcome relief.
PSALM 65 For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song.
** Theme:** God provides abundantly. We can be thankful to God for his many blessings.
Author: David
1 Praise awaits you, our God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled. 2 You who answer prayer, to you all people will come. 3 When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave our transgressions. 4 Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple. 5 You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds, God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas, 6 who formed the mountains by your power, having armed yourself with strength, 7 who stilled the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations. 8 The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy. 9 You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it. 10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its crops. 11 You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance. 12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness. 13 The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing.
Study Notes:
65:1, 2 In the Old Testament times, vows were taken seriously and fulfilled completely. No one had to make a vow, but once made, it was binding. [I highlighted "binding".]. (Deuteronomy 23:21-23). The vow that is being fulfilled here is the promise to praise God for his answers to prayer.
65:3 Although we may feel overwhelmed by the multitude of our sins, God will forgive them all if we ask sincerely. Do you feel as though God could never forgive you, that your sins are too many, or that some of them are too great? The good news is that God can and will forgive them all. [I highlighted the next sentence.]. Nobody is beyond redemption, and nobody is so full of sin that he or she cannot be made clean.
65:4 Access to God, the joy of living in the temple courts,was a great honor. God had chosen a special group of Israelites, the tribe of Levi, to serve as priests in the tabernacle (Numbers 3:5-51). They were the only ones who could enter the sacred rooms where God's presence resided. [I highlighted the next sentence.]. Because of Jesus' death on the cross, all believers have personal access to God's presence everywhere and at any time.
65:6-13 This harvest psalm glorifies God the Creator as reflected in the beauty of nature. Nature helps us understand something of God's character. The Jews believed that God's care of nature was a sign of love and provision for them. Nature shows God's generosity--giving us more than we need or deserve. Understanding God's abundant generosity should make us grateful to God and generous to others.
Last evening I started researching more about NESARA. I stumbled upon a website that had information on it about what it is and when it was supposed to be implemented. I read it was an act of Congress which the implementation was interrupted by the events of 9/11 and its aftermath. After reading about this, I decided to try to vet the truthfulness by going to the Congressional Record for the 106th Congress. I started reading and tired before finding definitive answers. Then I didn't have a good night of sleep.
So, this morning, I talked to God about it. And I read this Psalm about God's abundant blessings. He reminded me that he does hear our prayers, and he does provide. I told him that I search and still I don't know the answers to my questions, and each time I said "I dunno" I followed it with "but you do"--because I know that God is allknowing. It was good, because it refocused me to where I should be focused. I love the way God works! He does provide abundantly. He does answer prayers "expansively". I can attest and praise GOD for it all.
Lord of All, thank you for the ability to talk to you about anything. Thank you for clear guidance and for all the blessings that you give to us. Thank you, especially, for your saving grace. Keep us on our tasks for your glory, as your creation, the way you intended us to be. In Truth. In Christ Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
A Song (Praise God for leading me to this perfect song for today!): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i8P4N7AvY7I
Have a blessed and generous day!
I have a hard time believing (despite belief meaning very little against the truth) that it is divine will to shower us all with money and make our lives that easy. God will make sure that we have enough physically to prosper spiritually, if we are willing to follow his Law. But God puts challenges in our lives exactly because God wants us to overcome them and learn from them. The Bible is written in parables, allegories, analogies and shouldn't be read literally. It requires an eye that can see. Praying to God and asking for forgiveness is necessary, and God has infinite compassion and will help us if we ask. But if we don't work on our defects, if we don't work to make our own mind body and spirit a temple for God, then we will still go to hell once we die. Noble thoughts don't get us anywhere, we have to act, improve ourselves. We have to start by observing our own defects: anger, hatred, lack of empathy and compassion, envy, laziness, adultery & fornication, lying, stealing etc. Because God already knows us and wants us to know ourselves.
I left it with God. May His will be done. Meanwhile, after I clean house and me, I will search the Congressional Record some more.
If you knew me like God knows me, you would know that I have trusted in him for provisions, and without fail, he provides.
I certainly don't know you that way yet I am sure that God provides you with everything you deserve. Bless you.
Plus his grace and forgiveness.
God Bless Fren!!!!
Getting closer to the biggest Jubilee of all time.
I dunno, but God does.
God should have shown you the law.
That is the claim made for Nesara (which compared to the GR and Communism has much in common), of course it is all hush hush, and.... signed by a guy who told you to look up the definition of "is" after abusing his position. You believe that?
If anything, when it comes to money, Bill is the first in line. Then his canckles, and her friends, and maybe, just maybe, a bit for someone else.
God may show me still. Or, He might even be working through your comment (and this post to an check you responded).
Correction: "an check" was sposed to be "to which" .
Yes, indeed. The mysterious ways can reveal themselves in the things people say that reverberate with you.
For some reason I feel led to ask if you have knowledge of that "defn of is is" guy signing NESARA. I still cannot find writings or evidence of it. Have searched some in the congressional record, and in the supremecourt.gov site to no avail. I am skeptical about BC's willingness to sign it, even if compelled to by supreme court.
That is exactly my point.
Basically, ANY law should be forwarded to the Presidents Desk, yes? That should be reflected in the congressional record as this is an important legal Act.
When the Prez get's it, he has 3 choices:
Given the story, the "law" was sneaked in while Congress maintained some quorum to do business.
And, given Slick Willie 's inclinations, no 3 might have been his best shot at preventing the system he is leaching on to distance itself from him and his friends.
So, my argument here, as you nicely pointed out, show me the records. And in the absence of any record, NESARA LAW is a misnomer at least.
God always wins. Thank you for sharing this.
Something to keep in our mind and our prayers is whether we are looking for prosperity or for unconditional love.
The 2nd beast is yet to come (Revelations 13), we need to keep our guard up even when things seem great.
Amen and God bless you and your family too.
I have been encouraged with your faith and insights that you share. I remember when you had covid and how difficult it was for you. I and my extended family are dealing with it now after all this time. The Lord equipped me with information and supplies I need but I would covet your prayers as it can get overwhelming to make sure you are doing all the right things to stay out of the hospital. Unfortunately several unvaxxed have not made it out alive. God is faithful and I have never known Him to forsake me so I am riding this out one day at a time but I feel weary.
I pray for all those who need GOD'S healing power. I pray we all recognize GOD'S healing power within us. This morning I prayed that the healing extend to our relationships also. I pray with confidence because I see God already working on this. I don't remember having covid. I have had other battles that God has healed (is healing), so perhaps you are thinking of that.
I remember who had the covid and it wasn't you...haha! Faulty memory...sorry...thanks for the encouragement. Another family member got covid and I had to drive 2 hours to deliver supplies so I had to muster up some of that divine strength. We are all maintaining...it seems everywhere but we will at least have some natural immunity.
