Psalm 19

Psalm 19 (The Message)

A David Psalm
 1-2 God's glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon.
   Madame Day holds classes every morning,
      Professor Night lectures each evening.

 3-4 Their words aren't heard,
      their voices aren't recorded,
   But their silence fills the earth:
      unspoken truth is spoken everywhere.

 4-5 God makes a huge dome
      for the sun—a superdome!
   The morning sun's a new husband
      leaping from his honeymoon bed,
   The daybreaking sun an athlete
      racing to the tape.

 6 That's how God's Word vaults across the skies
      from sunrise to sunset,
   Melting ice, scorching deserts,
      warming hearts to faith.

 7-9 The revelation of God is whole
      and pulls our lives together.
   The signposts of God are clear
      and point out the right road.
   The life-maps of God are right,
      showing the way to joy.
   The directions of God are plain
      and easy on the eyes.
   God's reputation is twenty-four-carat gold,
      with a lifetime guarantee.
   The decisions of God are accurate
      down to the nth degree.

 10 God's Word is better than a diamond,
      better than a diamond set between emeralds.
   You'll like it better than strawberries in spring,
      better than red, ripe strawberries.

 11-14 There's more: God's Word warns us of danger
      and directs us to hidden treasure.
   Otherwise how will we find our way?
      Or know when we play the fool?
   Clean the slate, God, so we can start the day fresh!
      Keep me from stupid sins,
      from thinking I can take over your work;
   Then I can start this day sun-washed,
      scrubbed clean of the grime of sin.
   These are the words in my mouth;
      these are what I chew on and pray.
   Accept them when I place them
      on the morning altar,
   O God, my Altar-Rock,
      God, Priest-of-My-Altar.

Psalm 116

Psalm 116 (American Standard Version)


Psalm 116

 1 I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications.  2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
 3 The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
 4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
 5 Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.
 6 Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
 7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
 8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.
 9 I will walk before Jehovah In the land of the living.
 10 I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted:
 11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
 12 What shall I render unto Jehovah For all his benefits toward me?
 13 I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of Jehovah.
 14 I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people.
 15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah Is the death of his saints.
 16 O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds.
 17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of Jehovah.
 18 I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people,
 19 In the courts of Jehovah's house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.

Psalm 119 (American Standard Version)


Psalm 119

ALEPH.
 1 Blessed are they that are perfect in the way, Who walk in the law of Jehovah.  2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, That seek him with the whole heart.
 3 Yea, they do no unrighteousness; They walk in his ways.
 4 Thou hast commanded us thy precepts, That we should observe them diligently.
 5 Oh that my ways were established To observe thy statutes!
 6 Then shall I not be put to shame, When I have respect unto all thy commandments.
 7 I will give thanks unto thee with uprightness of heart, When I learn thy righteous judgments.
 8 I will observe thy statutes: Oh forsake me not utterly.
BETH.
 9 Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word.  10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: Oh let me not wander from thy commandments.
 11 Thy word have I laid up in my heart, That I might not sin against thee.
 12 Blessed art thou, O Jehovah: Teach me thy statutes.
 13 With my lips have I declared All the ordinances of thy mouth.
 14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, As much as in all riches.
 15 I will meditate on thy precepts, And have respect unto thy ways.
 16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
GIMEL.
 17 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live; So will I observe thy word.  18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold Wondrous things out of thy law.
 19 I am a sojourner in the earth: Hide not thy commandments from me.
 20 My soul breaketh for the longing That it hath unto thine ordinances at all times.
 21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, That do wander from thy commandments.
 22 Take away from me reproach and contempt; For I have kept thy testimonies.
 23 Princes also sat and talked against me; But thy servant did meditate on thy statutes.
 24 Thy testimonies also are my delight And my counsellors.
DALETH.
 25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: Quicken thou me according to thy word.  26 I declared my ways, and thou answeredst me: Teach me thy statutes.
 27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: So shall I meditate on thy wondrous works.
 28 My soul melteth for heaviness: Strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
 29 Remove from me the way of falsehood; And grant me thy law graciously.
 30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness: Thine ordinances have I set before me.
 31 I cleave unto thy testimonies: O Jehovah, put me not to shame.
 32 I will run the way of thy commandments, When thou shalt enlarge my heart.
HE.
 33 Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes; And I shall keep it unto the end.  34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; Yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
 35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; For therein do I delight.
 36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, And not to covetousness.
 37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity, And quicken me in thy ways.
 38 Confirm unto thy servant thy word, Which is in order unto the fear of thee.
 39 Turn away my reproach whereof I am afraid; For thine ordinances are good.
 40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: Quicken me in thy righteousness.
VAV.
 41 Let thy lovingkindnesses also come unto me, O Jehovah, Even thy salvation, according to thy word.  42 So shall I have an answer for him that reproacheth me; For I trust in thy word.
 43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; For I have hoped in thine ordinances.
 44 So shall I observe thy law continually For ever and ever.
 45 And I shall walk at liberty; For I have sought thy precepts.
 46 I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings, And shall not be put to shame.
 47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, Which I have loved.
 48 I will lift up my hands also unto thy commandments, which I have loved; And I will meditate on thy statutes.
ZAYIN.
 49 Remember the word unto thy servant, Because thou hast made me to hope.  50 This is my comfort in my affliction; For thy word hath quickened me.
 51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: Yet have I not swerved from thy law.
 52 I have remembered thine ordinances of old, O Jehovah, And have comforted myself.
 53 Hot indignation hath taken hold upon me, Because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
 54 Thy statutes have been my songs In the house of my pilgrimage.
 55 I have remembered thy name, O Jehovah, in the night, And have observed thy law.
 56 This I have had, Because I have kept thy precepts.
HHETH.
 57 Jehovah is my portion: I have said that I would observe thy words.  58 I entreated thy favor with my whole heart: Be merciful unto me according to thy word.
 59 I thought on my ways, And turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
 60 I made haste, and delayed not, To observe thy commandments.
 61 The cords of the wicked have wrapped me round; But I have not forgotten thy law.
 62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee Because of thy righteous ordinances.
 63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, And of them that observe thy precepts.
 64 The earth, O Jehovah, is full of thy lovingkindness: Teach me thy statutes.
TETH.
 65 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Jehovah, according unto thy word.  66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge; For I have believed in thy commandments.
 67 Before I was afflicted I went astray; But now I observe thy word.
 68 Thou art good, and doest good; Teach me thy statutes.
 69 The proud have forged a lie against me: With my whole heart will I keep thy precepts.
 70 Their heart is as fat as grease; But I delight in thy law.
 71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes.
 72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me Than thousands of gold and silver.
YODH.
 73 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.  74 They that fear thee shall see me and be glad, Because I have hoped in thy word.
 75 I know, O Jehovah, that thy judgments are righteous, And that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
 76 Let, I pray thee, thy lovingkindness be for my comfort, According to thy word unto thy servant.
 77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; For thy law is my delight.
 78 Let the proud be put to shame; For they have overthrown me wrongfully: But I will meditate on thy precepts.
 79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me; And they shall know thy testimonies.
 80 Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, That I be not put to shame.
KAPH.
 81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation; But I hope in thy word.  82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, While I say, When wilt thou comfort me?
 83 For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke; Yet do I not forget thy statutes.
 84 How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
 85 The proud have digged pits for me, Who are not according to thy law.
 86 All thy commandments are faithful: They persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
 87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; But I forsook not thy precepts.
LAMEDH.
 88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; So shall I observe the testimony of thy mouth.  89 For ever, O Jehovah, Thy word is settled in heaven.
 90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
 91 They abide this day according to thine ordinances; For all things are thy servants.
 92 Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
 93 I will never forget thy precepts; For with them thou hast quickened me.
 94 I am thine, save me; For I have sought thy precepts.
 95 The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me; But I will consider thy testimonies.
MEM.
 96 I have seen an end of all perfection; But thy commandment is exceeding broad.  97 Oh how love I thy law! It is my meditation all the day.
 98 Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies; For they are ever with me.
 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers; For thy testimonies are my meditation.
 100 I understand more than the aged, Because I have kept thy precepts.
 101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, That I might observe thy word.
 102 I have not turned aside from thine ordinances; For thou hast taught me.
 103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
 104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: Therefore I hate every false way.
NUN.
 105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path.  106 I have sworn, and have confirmed it, That I will observe thy righteous ordinances.
 107 I am afflicted very much: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according unto thy word.
 108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, O Jehovah, And teach me thine ordinances.
 109 My soul is continually in my hand; Yet do I not forget thy law.
 110 The wicked have laid a snare for me; Yet have I not gone astray from thy precepts.
 111 Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; For they are the rejoicing of my heart.
 112 I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes For ever, even unto the end.
SAMEKH.
 113 I hate them that are of a double mind; But thy law do I love.  114 Thou art my hiding-place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
 115 Depart from me, ye evil-doers, That I may keep the commandments of my God.
 116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live; And let me not be ashamed of my hope.
 117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe, And shall have respect unto thy statutes continually.
 118 Thou hast set at nought all them that err from thy statutes; For their deceit is falsehood.
 119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: Therefore I love thy testimonies.
 120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; And I am afraid of thy judgments.
AYIN.
 121 I have done justice and righteousness: Leave me not to mine oppressors.  122 Be surety for thy servant for good: Let not the proud oppress me.
 123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, And for thy righteous word.
 124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy lovingkindness, And teach me thy statutes.
 125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, That I may know thy testimonies.
 126 It is time for Jehovah to work; For they have made void thy law.
 127 Therefore I love thy commandments Above gold, yea, above fine gold.
 128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; And I hate every false way.
PE.
 129 Thy testimonies are wonderful; Therefore doth my soul keep them.  130 The opening of thy words giveth light; It giveth understanding unto the simple.
 131 I opened wide my mouth, and panted; For I longed for thy commandments.
 132 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me, As thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
 133 Establish my footsteps in thy word; And let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
 134 Redeem me from the oppression of man: So will I observe thy precepts.
 135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; And teach me thy statutes.
 136 Streams of water run down mine eyes, Because they observe not thy law.
TSADHE.
 137 Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, And upright are thy judgments.  138 Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness And very faithfulness.
 139 My zeal hath consumed me, Because mine adversaries have forgotten thy words.
 140 Thy word is very pure; Therefore thy servant loveth it.
 141 I am small and despised; Yet do I not forget thy precepts.
 142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And thy law is truth.
 143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me; Yet thy commandments are my delight.
 144 Thy testimonies are righteous for ever: Give me understanding, and I shall live.
QOPH.
 145 I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O Jehovah: I will keep thy statutes.  146 I have called unto thee; save me, And I shall observe thy testimonies.
 147 I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words.
 148 Mine eyes anticipated the night-watches, That I might meditate on thy word.
 149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thine ordinances.
 150 They draw nigh that follow after wickedness; They are far from thy law.
 151 Thou art nigh, O Jehovah; And all thy commandments are truth.
 152 Of old have I known from thy testimonies, That thou hast founded them for ever.
RESH.
 153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me; For I do not forget thy law.  154 Plead thou my cause, and redeem me: Quicken me according to thy word.
 155 Salvation is far from the wicked; For they seek not thy statutes.
 156 Great are thy tender mercies, O Jehovah: Quicken me according to thine ordinances.
 157 Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; Yet have I not swerved from thy testimonies.
 158 I beheld the treacherous, and was grieved, Because they observe not thy word.
 159 Consider how I love thy precepts: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thy lovingkindness.
 160 The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever.
SHIN.
 161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause; But my heart standeth in awe of thy words.  162 I rejoice at thy word, As one that findeth great spoil.
 163 I hate and abhor falsehood; But thy law do I love.
 164 Seven times a day do I praise thee, Because of thy righteous ordinances.
 165 Great peace have they that love thy law; And they have no occasion of stumbling.
 166 I have hoped for thy salvation, O Jehovah, And have done thy commandments.
 167 My soul hath observed thy testimonies; And I love them exceedingly.
 168 I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies; For all my ways are before thee.
TAV.
 169 Let my cry come near before thee, O Jehovah: Give me understanding according to thy word.  170 Let my supplication come before thee: Deliver me according to thy word.
 171 Let my lips utter praise; For thou teachest me thy statutes.
 172 Let my tongue sing of thy word; For all thy commandments are righteousness.
 173 Let thy hand be ready to help me; For I have chosen thy precepts.
 174 I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah; And thy law is my delight.
 175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; And let thine ordinances help me.
 176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; Seek thy servant; For I do not forget thy commandments.

Psalm 119:11- Bible Memory Verse Song for Kids

Monday we will look in to Psalm 119.
Its a big one. 176 verses.
Its rich with good stuff.
worth the extra time required.


John 3

John 3

The New Birth
 1 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9 Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?”
10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? 11 Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.[a] 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but[b] have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

Pslam 27

Psalm 27 (New King James Version)


Psalm 27

A Psalm of David.
 1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;
         Whom shall I fear?
         The LORD is the strength of my life;
         Of whom shall I be afraid?
 2 When the wicked came against me
         To eat up my flesh,
         My enemies and foes,
         They stumbled and fell.
 3 Though an army may encamp against me,
         My heart shall not fear;
         Though war may rise against me,
         In this I will be confident.
        
 4 One thing I have desired of the LORD,
         That will I seek:
         That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
         All the days of my life,
         To behold the beauty of the LORD,
         And to inquire in His temple.
 5 For in the time of trouble
         He shall hide me in His pavilion;
         In the secret place of His tabernacle
         He shall hide me;
         He shall set me high upon a rock.
        
 6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
         Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
         I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
        
 7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice!
         Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
 8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
         My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”
 9 Do not hide Your face from me;
         Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
         You have been my help;
         Do not leave me nor forsake me,
         O God of my salvation.
 10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
         Then the LORD will take care of me.
        
 11 Teach me Your way, O LORD,
         And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
 12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
         For false witnesses have risen against me,
         And such as breathe out violence.
 13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
         That I would see the goodness of the LORD
         In the land of the living.
        
 14 Wait on the LORD;
         Be of good courage,
         And He shall strengthen your heart;
         Wait, I say, on the LORD!

    JDC Aids Israel Fire Evacuees

    In response to the devastating Carmel fires, JDC immediately activated its Emergency Response Team in the North and continues to coordinate relief and recovery efforts with local authorities and the Israeli government to ensure the safety and well-being of the most vulnerable in the area, especially evacuated elderly, disabled, and youth at risk.

    Also, JDC's network of Israeli volunteer initiatives is working closely with local municipalities to provide additional assistance. In communities where these volunteer programs exist, the ability to quickly address the needs of evacuees was marked in comparison to other locations. JDC's Emergency Response System—developed during the second intifada and the Second Lebanon War—is ensuring the swift delivery of all needed support.

    We are working closely with the Israel's Ministries of Social Affairs and Health, Home Front Command and the National Emergency Network to monitor the situation and make a clear assessment of current needs and those that will arise once the fire has been extinguished.

Reston, VA - North Dakota and Montana have an estimated 3.0 to 4.3 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil in an area known as the Bakken Formation.

A U.S. Geological Survey assessment, released April 10, shows a 25-fold increase in the amount of oil that can be recovered compared to the agency's 1995 estimate of 151 million barrels of oil.

Technically recoverable oil resources are those producible using currently available technology and industry practices. USGS is the only provider of publicly available estimates of undiscovered technically recoverable oil and gas resources.


 

New geologic models applied to the Bakken Formation, advances in drilling and production technologies, and recent oil discoveries have resulted in these substantially larger technically recoverable oil volumes. About 105 million barrels of oil were produced from the Bakken Formation by the end of 2007.


 

The USGS Bakken study was undertaken as part of a nationwide project assessing domestic petroleum basins using standardized methodology and protocol as required by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 2000.


 

The Bakken Formation estimate is larger than all other current USGS oil assessments of the lower 48 states and is the largest "continuous" oil accumulation ever assessed by the USGS. A "continuous" oil accumulation means that the oil resource is dispersed throughout a geologic formation rather than existing as discrete, localized occurrences. The next largest "continuous" oil accumulation in the U.S. is in the Austin Chalk of Texas and Louisiana, with an undiscovered estimate of 1.0 billions of barrels of technically recoverable oil.


 

"It is clear that the Bakken formation contains a significant amount of oil - the question is how much of that oil is recoverable using today's technology?" said Senator Byron Dorgan, of North Dakota. "To get an answer to this important question, I requested that the U.S. Geological Survey complete this study, which will provide an up-to-date estimate on the amount of technically recoverable oil resources in the Bakken Shale formation."


 

The USGS estimate of 3.0 to 4.3 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil has a mean value of 3.65 billion barrels. Scientists conducted detailed studies in stratigraphy and structural geology and the modeling of petroleum geochemistry. They also combined their findings with historical exploration and production analyses to determine the undiscovered, technically recoverable oil estimates.


 

USGS worked with the North Dakota Geological Survey, a number of petroleum industry companies and independents, universities and other experts to develop a geological understanding of the Bakken Formation. These groups provided critical information and feedback on geological and engineering concepts important to building the geologic and production models used in the assessment.


 

Five continuous assessment units (AU) were identified and assessed in the Bakken Formation of North Dakota and Montana - the Elm Coulee-Billings Nose AU, the Central Basin-Poplar Dome AU, the Nesson-Little Knife Structural AU, the Eastern Expulsion Threshold AU, and the Northwest Expulsion Threshold AU.


 

At the time of the assessment, a limited number of wells have produced oil from three of the assessments units in Central Basin-Poplar Dome, Eastern Expulsion Threshold, and Northwest Expulsion Threshold.

The Elm Coulee oil field in Montana, discovered in 2000, has produced about 65 million barrels of the 105 million barrels of oil recovered from the Bakken Formation.

Psalm 22

Psalm 22 (New King James Version)


Psalm 22

To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Deer of the Dawn.”[a] A Psalm of David.
 1 My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
         Why are You so far from helping Me,
         And from the words of My groaning?
 2 O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear;
         And in the night season, and am not silent.
        
 3 But You are holy,
         Enthroned in the praises of Israel.
 4 Our fathers trusted in You;
         They trusted, and You delivered them.
 5 They cried to You, and were delivered;
         They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.
        
 6 But I am a worm, and no man;
         A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
 7 All those who see Me ridicule Me;
         They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
 8 “He trusted[b] in the LORD, let Him rescue Him;
         Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!”
        
 9 But You are He who took Me out of the womb;
         You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.
 10 I was cast upon You from birth.
         From My mother’s womb
         You have been My God.
 11 Be not far from Me,
         For trouble is near;
         For there is none to help.
        
 12 Many bulls have surrounded Me;
         Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me.
 13 They gape at Me with their mouths,
         Like a raging and roaring lion.
        
 14 I am poured out like water,
         And all My bones are out of joint;
         My heart is like wax;
         It has melted within Me.
 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
         And My tongue clings to My jaws;
         You have brought Me to the dust of death.
        
 16 For dogs have surrounded Me;
         The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
         They pierced[c] My hands and My feet;
 17 I can count all My bones.
         They look and stare at Me.
 18 They divide My garments among them,
         And for My clothing they cast lots.
        
 19 But You, O LORD, do not be far from Me;
         O My Strength, hasten to help Me!
 20 Deliver Me from the sword,
         My precious life from the power of the dog.
 21 Save Me from the lion’s mouth
         And from the horns of the wild oxen!
        
         You have answered Me.
        
 22 I will declare Your name to My brethren;
         In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
 23 You who fear the LORD, praise Him!
         All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,
         And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!
 24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
         Nor has He hidden His face from Him;
         But when He cried to Him, He heard.
        
 25 My praise shall be of You in the great assembly;
         I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.
 26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied;
         Those who seek Him will praise the LORD.
         Let your heart live forever!
        
 27 All the ends of the world
         Shall remember and turn to the LORD,
         And all the families of the nations
         Shall worship before You.[d]
 28 For the kingdom is the LORD’s,
         And He rules over the nations.
        
 29 All the prosperous of the earth
         Shall eat and worship;
         All those who go down to the dust
         Shall bow before Him,
         Even he who cannot keep himself alive.
        
 30 A posterity shall serve Him.
         It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation,
 31 They will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born,
         That He has done this.

"Silver Bells" Christmas Time in the City John Denver

Merry Christmas

Good Morning today is Thursday 12.02.2010

Good Morning,
We no one will be more surprised than I was when you see what we have today.
As I always do I ask the Lord what do you want to speak to us about today.
I heard Act 29.
Well we are Act 29 the bible stops at Acts 28 (for those that may need to look it up like I did.)
So I thought I must of misunderstood.
I ask again.
Same answer. Acts 29
So, I went looking for Acts 29 in my normal places and found this.
I believe we are to minister to some on with this song.
I had to pay close attention to the words because my brain has a hard time keeping up. So I got the words and add them to the clip to make it easier.
I pray for the person(s) God is trying to reach.
Please remember God is Love and he is not out to get you.
He Loves you and wants only His best for you.
God Is Love.
Sometimes our earthly parents don’t do us right.
God is not all about that.
He Is LOVE.
Think on this.

Acts 29 - Come On



Words to this song, Come on

Im feelin, im feelin uneven and my socks don't match
To my crew you're my team and I got yo back
Im tired of not sleeping and but its not so bad
Im living out my dreams and my works off for that
Reaching out with my arms tied behind my back
Preaching out in my heart but its time to rap
I reminisce on last night while im loving the track
But one light with gods stand but they running the pack
Somebody let me know when im running on track
Take this knife off my neck and cut me some slack
The purest soul, hes earned em on his son and the black
I stare at the sky feeling like the dirtiest rag
ugly I stand, suddenly gets our and bled
Devoured by the devil, hes a powerful man
But fathom is my god, so I can't be beaten
But we lack as a whole, he will deliver, CMON

Yea, I'm just a puzzle chu-- the missing pieces
Called on god so he can be my completion
Songs I faced only last for a season while it rains and pours it was he I believed in
Evils up this earth placed in deceivement
Many feel condemned knowing that he seems them
Knowing that he closes his eyes when he sees sin
Knowing hes as real as the air that we breathe in
Missing church and getting hurt every weekend
Knowing that the only way to heaven is to sneak in
Its not an option no
Understand your not alone as tears flow from your opitic oo's
Like a glass of lemonade when I squeeze the mic


Surrounded by snakes with sharp teeth they bite
Rejoicing my pain,
So I sing instead of cry knowing that he's coming back like a thieve in the night CMON

How can we doubt whats always been real
Receive feelings of proof but still denied the truth
Eaten alive, thirsty for ice livin water
Steaks inside, a nice cold bottle of coscia
the gospel being sold out by imposters
Christ paid the price so my sins wouldn't lock us
Cost us a life; knock us outa the game
Group the kill r pain theres only one name
Judge me for my cost but im not going to pay
Its not long distance, hes not far away
The ends of time tried to scared my face But theres no limitations living in gods grace
Hes eat me fresh and turns my bad into good
Hes not out to burn us just misunderstood
Misconceptions in the minds of the mislead
From misquoted words but that's not what it said
You rather end the wrong contact plus never ask god to reveal what he promised (nah)
Its not always gunna be crystal clear, working out my salvation as I tremble in fear
tronair to the definition of love, life,from under washing my dirty dishes with this blood
I can see past, the physical realm let god in your heart and become overwhelmed
Still bound, by the spirit of the one (one), who shed his blood for you
He gave us free will, and free tum (tum) but theres consequences for the things we do CMON

Psalm 113 Let The Name

Psalm 113

Psalm 113 (New King James Version)


Psalm 113

The Majesty and Condescension of God
 1 Praise the LORD!
        
         Praise, O servants of the LORD,
         Praise the name of the LORD!
 2 Blessed be the name of the LORD
         From this time forth and forevermore!
 3 From the rising of the sun to its going down
         The LORD’s name is to be praised.
        
 4 The LORD is high above all nations,
         His glory above the heavens.
 5 Who is like the LORD our God,
         Who dwells on high,
 6 Who humbles Himself to behold
         The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?
        
 7 He raises the poor out of the dust,
         And lifts the needy out of the ash heap,
 8 That He may seat him with princes—
         With the princes of His people.
 9 He grants the barren woman a home,
         Like a joyful mother of children.
        
         Praise the LORD!
