Psa 121:1 and 2 Thes 2:16 "Lift Up Your Eyes" (August 2)
I am about to close my eyes on this day and say farewell, no more. God's Eyes will not close. While I lay down this exhausted body of ine, He will not slumber tonight. God will keep my life, my problems. God will keep me from evil, from myself. God will keep my coming and going, even though it's not working. My help comes from God. Lift up your eyes to the hills. And if there is any place where my eyes are downcast, do your work, O LORD. My Helper. My Keeper. Psalm 121: 1-2. May the LORD Jesus Christ Himself comfort your heart and establish you in every good work and word of yours. 2 Thes 2:16

We are not to be deceived. The Day of the Lord is not here yet. Not until the lawless one is revealed. Things are a mess right now, but they will get worse before they get better. But ut with a single breath, the Lord Jesus will destroy this antichrist. A single breath.
ReplyDeleteWe've been studying Revelations since January, and no science fiction writer could write such horrific drama as that Truth that is to come. But we are not to fear and take comfort in our eternal security.
One more beautiful blessing to pray for those we love:
Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.
Today is our 32nd anniversary and all either of us can think about is our sweet little dog, Abby. She is very sick and the vet said it's hard to tell what it is because of all the fluid she has on her stomach. She normally weighs 37 lbs. but she's gained 10 lbs in the last few weeks--all fluid the doc said. It's either her heart, her liver or her kidneys though. Not sure yet, but we have some hard days ahead. If you don't mind praying for such trivial things, please pray for Abby's comfort and for God to heal her. She's not in obvious pain right now, so that's a blessing.
ReplyDeletePsalm 121 is one I often go to in the early hours of the morning when I cannot sleep due to outside influences. It is a huge thing to know for sure that the Lord is watching over me all the time.
ReplyDelete2 Thes. 2:8 just gives me chills/thrills..the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth.
Annette, nothing in our lives that touches our hearts is trivial to our Lord! Happy Anniversary!
Bev, praying that you receive much needed rest!
The Psalms always comfort me, they are go to book in the Bible. I've pointed many a person to them when they are at their wits end. He has never failed to comfort me with His Word.
ReplyDeleteBev,praying that you do get much needed rest after the whirlwind week and week end you experienced last week.
Happy Anniversary, Annette. Our Lord is always concerned over the things that concern us. He is so over the details of your life. May you find His peace today over your beloved pet.
ABBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! I said that and just broke down crying for you. Oh no! Sweet precious Abby! Best dog ever. So hope she pulls through! Macy is 14 and became deathly sick and pulled through with no meds even. She couldn't even walk. Sooooo. Hoping for a major pull through. Keep us posted! She's your best dog! AND Happy Happy Anniversary to two wonderful people who have embraced life and all it offers and made something beautiful out of it with your marriage! What courage! What tenacity! What love! Happy Day???
ReplyDeleteNo rest yet...I board a flight in a few hours for Seattle for my niece's wedding. One more wedding. Tears fall too freely. Rather difficult time for me. Love Friday's reading---Psalm 123:2 I will look to Him til He shows me mercy. A little more dependent on Him than ever. Love to you all.
ReplyDeleteAbby update: just got back to the ranch from the A&M small animal hospital. They drained her abdomen and told us she's not doing very well. Her liver is failing. We'll keep her comfortable but it won't be long they think. She has been my surrogate child since the kids left for college. It's just hard.
ReplyDeleteI get to watch Bella this weekend for Greg and Laura's anniversary so that is helping me stay preoccupied. Thanks for yours prayers and love here.
Thinking about you with yet another wedding and family and so much at once, Bev. Hope you get a break to rest at least for a few days before school.
