Day Two

A friend said:

PS I prayed for you this morning!

From another:

Isaiah 60

The Glory of Zion

 ¹ “Arise, shine, for your light has come, 
   and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. 
² See, darkness covers the earth 
   and thick darkness is over the peoples, 
but the LORD rises upon you 
   and his glory appears over you. 
³ Nations will come to your light, 
   and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

 ⁴ “Lift up your eyes and look about you:
   All assemble and come to you;
your sons come from afar,
   and your daughters are carried on the hip.
⁵ Then you will look and be radiant,
   your heart will throb and swell with joy;
the wealth on the seas will be brought to you,
   to you the riches of the nations will come.
⁶ Herds of camels will cover your land,
   young camels of Midian and Ephah.
And all from Sheba will come,
   bearing gold and incense
   and proclaiming the praise of the LORD.
⁷ All Kedar’s flocks will be gathered to you,
   the rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
they will be accepted as offerings on my altar,
   and I will adorn my glorious temple.

 ⁸ “Who are these that fly along like clouds,
   like doves to their nests?
⁹ Surely the islands look to me;
   in the lead are the ships of Tarshish,^[a]
bringing your children from afar,
   with their silver and gold,
to the honor of the LORD your God,
   the Holy One of Israel,
   for he has endowed you with splendor.

 ¹⁰ “Foreigners will rebuild your walls,
   and their kings will serve you.
Though in anger I struck you,
   in favor I will show you compassion.
¹¹ Your gates will always stand open,
   they will never be shut, day or night,
so that people may bring you the wealth of the nations—
   their kings led in triumphal procession.
¹² For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish;
   it will be utterly ruined.

 ¹³ “The glory of Lebanon will come to you,
   the juniper, the fir and the cypress together,
to adorn my sanctuary;
   and I will glorify the place for my feet.
¹⁴ The children of your oppressors will come bowing before you;
   all who despise you will bow down at your feet
and will call you the City of the LORD,
   Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

 ¹⁵ “Although you have been forsaken and hated,
   with no one traveling through,
I will make you the everlasting pride
   and the joy of all generations.
¹⁶ You will drink the milk of nations
   and be nursed at royal breasts.
Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior,
   your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
¹⁷ Instead of bronze I will bring you gold,
   and silver in place of iron.
Instead of wood I will bring you bronze,
   and iron in place of stones.
I will make peace your governor
   and well-being your ruler. 
¹⁸ No longer will violence be heard in your land,
   nor ruin or destruction within your borders,
but you will call your walls Salvation
   and your gates Praise.
¹⁹ The sun will no more be your light by day,
   nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,
for the LORD will be your everlasting light,
   and your God will be your glory. 
²⁰ Your sun will never set again,
   and your moon will wane no more;
the LORD will be your everlasting light,
   and your days of sorrow will end. 
²¹ Then all your people will be righteous
   and they will possess the land forever.
They are the shoot I have planted,
   the work of my hands,
   for the display of my splendor.
²² The least of you will become a thousand,
   the smallest a mighty nation.
I am the LORD;
   in its time I will do this swiftly.”

and from another:

"May everything we do begin with your inspiration, continue with your help,
and reach perfection under your guidance. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen."

 

Dear Jesus

You promise in Isaiah 56: that your salvation is at hand and your righteousness to be revealed... it goes on to say that in Your house you give us a place and a name. 

I thank you Father that your saving grace is at hand in Juliet's life. Your righteousness is being revealed to her daily. I thank you Father that as her little girl you give her a place of rest in Your house... and she hears you call her name. Speak softly to her today. and Father I thank You that in Psalms 36 you say that we can be abundantly satisfied in Your house and drink from your rivers of pleasure and in you we see light. Thanks for giving that all to Juliet and B today. Pleasures of Your goodness, light, and drink. 

In Jesus name

amen

and from my mom:

Yes, Yes, yes...may the God of all wisdom and especially love, for that is HE, give you courage and speak to your heart.  I will pray specifically for you and your meeting with Brett, everyday, and with more intentionality now that I have seen your request.  Love, Mommy

Hi friend-I have been praying for you and am praying for you right now!

Colossians 2:2-3

"My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."

Praying that in this week and even in your conversation with B that you would continue to be encouraged in Christ and know the treasures and blessings of God more and more.  I am praying also for God's wisdom and knowledge to reign in you both this week.

Love and prayers!!

 

 1 Listen to my prayer, O God,
  do not ignore my plea;
 2 hear me and answer me.
 My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught

 16 As for me, I call to God,
  and the LORD saves me.
17 Evening, morning and noon
  I cry out in distress,
  and he hears my voice.
18 He rescues me unharmed
  from the battle waged against me,
  even though many oppose me.

22 Cast your cares on the LORD
  and he will sustain you;
he will never let
  the righteous be shaken.

With Much Love,

Fear is always this flee ahead. But when we give thanks for this moment, we stay in this moment with the God Who is Here, I AM.
