God Bless You

“This is what the LORD says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.”- Isaiah 43:16, 18-19

12 Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not of my mother; and she became my wife. 13 And when God had me wander from my father's household, I said to her, 'This is how you can show your love to me: Everywhere we go, say of me, "He is my brother." ' "

14 Then Abimelech brought sheep and cattle and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham, and he returned Sarah his wife to him.

Genesis 22
Abraham Tested
1 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!"
"Here I am," he replied.

2 Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about."

3 Early the next morning Abraham got up and saddled his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about.

1 Corinthians 1 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)

Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society

1 Corinthians 1

1Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

2To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—their Lord and ours:

3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving
4I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5For in him you have been enriched in every way—in all your speaking and in all your knowledge— 6because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. 7Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 8He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
Divisions in the Church
10I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas[a]"; still another, "I follow Christ."

13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into[b] the name of Paul? 14I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. 16(Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
Christ the Wisdom and Power of God
18For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written:
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."[c]

20Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.

26Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast before him. 30It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."[d]

Psalm 122

 
Psalm 122 (King James Version)


Public Domain

Psalm 122

1I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

2Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

4Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

5For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

7Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

8For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

Psalms 137 (Good News Bible)

 Psalms 137 (Good News Bible)

1By the rivers of Babylon
we sat down;
there we wept when we
remembered Zion.
2On the willows near by
we hung up our harps.
3Those who captured us told us to
sing;
they told us to entertain them:
"Sing us a song about Zion."

4How can we sing a song to the LORD
in a foreign land?
5May I never be able to play the
harp again
if I forget you, Jerusalem!
6May I never be able to sing again
if I do not remember you,
if I do not think of you as my greatest joy!

7Remember, LORD, what the
Edomites did
the day Jerusalem was
captured
Remember how they kept saying,
"Tear it down to the ground!"

8Babylon, you will be destroyed.
Happy is the man who pays you
back
for what you have done to us---
9who takes your babies
and smashes them agains a rock. 

Psalm 93 (Good News Bible)

Psalm 93 (Good News Bible)

1The Lord is king.
He is clothed with majesty
and strength.
The earth is set firmly in place
and cannot be moved.
2Your throne, O Lord, has been
firm from the beginning,
and you existed before time began.

3The ocean depths raise their
voice and roar.
4The Lord rules supreme in
heaven,
greater than the roar of the
ocean,
more powerful than the waves
of the sea.

5Your laws are eternal, Lord,
and your Temple is holy indeed,
forever and ever.


May the Lord Bless you and keep you always:)

Psalm 4 (Good News Bible) & A Poem :)

Evening Prayer For Help
1Answer me when I pray,
O God, my defender!
When I was in trouble, you
helped me.
Be kind to me now and hear
my prayer.

2How long will you people insult
me?
How long will you love what is worthless
and go after what is false?

3Remember that the Lord has
chosen the righteous for his
own,
and he hears me when I call to
him.

4Tremble with fear and stop sinning;
think deeply about this,
when you lie in silence on your beds,
5Offer the right sacrifices to the LORD,
and put your trust in him.

6There are many who pray:
"Give us more blessings, O
LORD.
Look on us with kindness!"

7But the joy that you have given me
is more than they will ever
have
with all their grain and wine.,

8When I lie down, I go to sleep in
peace,
you alone, O Lord, keep me perfectly safe.


I awaken LORD
a new day sets before me
new plans
new thanks
I seek you LORD
when I lie down
I pray to you
When I awake
I lift my songs to you
When I move throughout the day
It is you beside me always

:)

Have a blessed day in the LORD

Philippians 1:1-11 (NKJV)

Philippians 1

1Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Jesus Christ,
To all the saints in Christ Jesus who aer in Philippi with the bishops and deacons:
2Grace and Peace to you and peace from God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thankfulness and Prayer
3I thank my God upon every rememberance of you, 4always in every prayer of mine making
request for you all with joy, 5for you fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, 6being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ, 7 just as it it right for me to think this of you all, because I have yuo in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace. 8For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.

9And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that yuo may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Psalm 141 (New International Version)

Psalm 141:1-4 (NIV)

1Oh LORD, I call to you; come quickly to me.
Hear my voice when I call to you.
2May my prayer be set before you like incense;
may the lifting of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.
3Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD;
keep watch over the door of my lips.
4Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil,
to take part in wicked deeds
with me who are evil doers;
let me not eat of their delicacies.


Lord I thank you for today and I thank you for the love you show daily and your blessings. Please bless the world Lord and everyone and every animal that dwells within it Lord. Lead me to show others your light your truth and your love. Please bring peace to Jerusalem LORD. AMEN
