God And America

Job 12:23-25

 

He makes nations great, and destroys them - God has blessed America and made her powerful in the world, a super-power, to spread her Godly influence into other nations; then God can destroy her, He is taking away her blessings, our influence in the world is waning and there is talk of our Dollar not being regarded as the world's currency.

He enlarges nations, and disperses them - We see God having done this in Israel: They were a world power under David and Solomon, but after that they waned and were eventually dispersed among all the other nations. The same can and may happen in America.

He deprives the leaders of the Earth of their reason - Our American president and Congress cannot be reasoned with, they have their own agendas, and history and logic are twisted.

He sends them wandering through a trackless waste - Economically they are leading us into places no one has had the timerity to go before.

They grope in darkness with no light - They do Quantitave Easings and raise the debt ceiling beyond anything that has ever been done before.

He makes them stagger like drunkards - 'nuff said! 




 

God Is Light

I John 1:5

 

God is light, in Him there is no darkness at all; no shadow of turning, pure light.

3:2

 

Now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

4:12a

 

No one has ever seen God . . .

When Moses spent time with God on the mountain, and actually saw God's "back," he came down from that mountain glowing, so that he had to wear a veil over his face.

God is pure, unadulterated light, with no "shadow of turning." Our eyes are incapable, unable to "see" light, we need shadows to define what we're looking at; pure light would be a glare, that would burn our eyes to look at, like looking into the Sun, which is a "light holder" reflecting a small portion of God's glory. But when Jesus returns, and our bodies are "changed," then we'll have "new eyes" and will be able to behold Him, see Him as He is.

Thoroughly Equipped

II Timothy 3:14-17

Personalized Paraphrase:

As for me, I must continue in the Truth I was taught since I was a child, which led me to the Salvation You granted me so many years ago, and continues to inform me through my trust in Your Word and the faithfulness of my Savior, Christ Jesus. Because I know that the whole Bible is the Holy Scripture that You, God, breathed into Your prophets to write down, and all of it as a whole is for teaching me what to believe, calling me out on what I do wrong, fixing my weaknesses and errors, and training me in the Godly lifestyle You, Father, made me to live. Then I will be thoroughly equipped and fitted to accomplish every good work You planned ahead of time for me to do for Your glory and toward Your kingdom here on this Earth, that Your will shall be done down here just as it is done now in Heaven. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Wisdom And Understanding

Proverbs 2:1-11

Pray it:

O my Father, my Abba, Daddy, I have read and studied Your words to me, I have sought to apply my heart to Your wisdom and understanding Your ways. I call out for insight and I cry out loud for understanding; I have looked for it as for silver and searched for it as for hidden treasure. Please, Father dear, grant me understanding that I may worship You in true knowledge and wisdom, for all true wisdom, understanding and knowledge is from You. Only in You will I achieve victory, for You are my shield, guarding my way and protecting me. Keep me faithful to Your righteousness, and forgive my failings, that I may be found blameless. Then please grant me Your understanding if what is right and just and fair--every good path. Then let Your wisdom enter my heart, and the knowledge of You and Your ways will be pleasant to my soul; and let discretion protect me, and understanding guard me.

Make My (Day?) Joy!

Philippians 2:2

Make - My choice, I must do it.

My - God's pleasure, not mine.

Joy - God's smile, His deep happiness and approval.

Complete - Full, whole, finished.

Being like-minded - Understanding and agreeing

Having the same love - Real, true love, not just affection or lust or owning.

Being one in spirit - Agreeing in mind, emotion and desires.

And purpose - The reason why, the goal, the finish line.

O my Father, please help me to want to and do what You want for me. Help me to see others, especially my own family members, as You see them; teach me to discern their thoughts and thought processes so that I will be able to agree in my thoughts with them. Help me to love them with Your true, pure, deep and genuine love, in spite of and because of their faults and failings. Teach me to understand their fears, shame and pride in the light of Your Truth for them, so that I will be able to agree with them in accomplishing Your purposes for each of us and for all of us; to promote Your kingdom here--that Your will would be done here on this Earth just as it is done now in Heaven. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Our Few Days

Psalm 39:4

Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

My Prayer:

O my Father, my Divine Daddy, I ask you to show me what shall be the end of my life, and the number, how many days You will have given me; let me know and realize how fleeting my life is, so that I will treasure each day, not wasting the moments I still have here. Show me what You would have me do each moment of every day, realizing my end, to accomplish all the purposes You have planned for me to fulfill during these few days. Teach me to continually look to You for direction, to walk in Your steps the path You have set before me, seeing others through Your eyes and allowing my heart to break for what breaks Your heart.

Delight In The Lord

Psalm 1:2-3

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Personalized:

O my dear daughter, I will bless you because your delight is in My law I have given you, and your thoughts are continually on Me. So, sweetie, I see you as though you are a tree planted by the stream of My Living Water that nourishes you so that you bear your fruit for me every time I desire it, and your leaf will never wither whatsoever the weather around you, and I will cause you to succeed in everything you do for Me.

Love,

Dad
