Meditation Opportunities Daily Verse

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NIV) @BIBLEGATEWAY.COM

16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Prayers and Blessings our nation can get back to what once was. So many believed and sacrificed.


So many more will never understand care or work to keep freedom free to grow forward and be more than temporal moments and things that in the blink of an eye. are gone just as quick as they came.

 

None of what we live is happenstance.  It is the choices we make.   And we are here to do so because we are a free country slowly losing freedoms.  We are here because Christ went to the cross and took on all the debt, pain, and sorrow so humanity across the globe would have a chance to choose to live.

 

Today our military, our protectors, our first responders are the reason we are here.   Because of all they do and they although not going to the cross put their lives on the line to allow a nation to express freedom of choice, freedom of will for the good who died and are dying in the process!

 

Our choices and life are what they are because we allow them to be.  It is what it is until it is not; and Freedom is never free.   Your good, bad, or indifferent choices are costing something somewhere from someone.



Today we honor the many that paid the price with the very last breath given to fight so our country would not have to.    

Thank you to all those who have given all they are for a world that will never know them. May the God of all the heavens be with all who have been left behind because of their choices to fight for freedom and the Red, White, and Blue.

 

For all the fallen heroes on a battlefield, on the city streets, in the desert.   Be it you are rescuing babies from human trafficking, a starving living being from hunger or homelessness.   life from a burning building, a nation from those that fight for power and control with no regard for humanity at all.      Thank you!

Never stop being the good, doing the good; being the light when darkness is all around us.

Shining brightly be it in your wheelchair or shining down from the heavens.    Be it you are crippled in your mind, body, or spirit.    As the price you paid to help so many or just one.   Know you were the gift of life that God sent to help show the way to so many.

Be it any of us acknowledge, take it, and continue the journey trying to be our best self and walking and living for something more than our own selfish time given on earth.  Or we too do the best we can where we can.    We will never be grateful enough for what you who have gone ahead of us and given up so we can be.         Be it on the battlefield, behind enemy lines or through the first who hung on the cross.   May we all never forget to be face down kneeling for the cross standing for what we believe.

 

As many will be out having BBQs having fun some having a little too much.  As we celebrate, we who are working have a long weekend and others well some of us just like to always have fun and not contribute but take.

No matter what our situations or who we may know or what they may do including our own beings.    May we never take for granted or get caught up chasing all that is temporal, forgotten and meaningless in the end.   May we all be our best selves and dare to make our little space around us better for futures to come.

May we Lord come together for what truly matters and grow spiritually, foundationally, and deep within all that grows a future for humanity that you alone sacrificed to be.

Choices and the freedom to make them is the gift of your own Father God.   What we do with them for our own time here and now and anything for a future to come and the children, of this world is ours.  

 

May we wake and act in love, in life and prosper for what is eternal not just five minutes to be tossed out chasing the next.

May we find our freedoms in you Christ as we are set free out of the cages of our mind, our spirits, our very own abilities, and addictions we alone with you can change for something greater, something everlasting that only you Father God have answers to go on.    Hope in you Jesus is a new day dawning even if, even when!

 

Hope has a name; You alone Jesus.  May all the lights shine bright, and your children step up, step out and be the heroes of any tomorrows allowed.     Leading the way by example of peace making, teaching how and not what.   Planting the seeds of what matters in abundance yes guiding all that is necessary to really live and not just chase and toss out the temporal.     If this is all it is Jesus be with us. 

 

Be with me and all I am connected in truth, in spirit in all you will.

Thank you for the sacrifices of those who have gone ahead and thank you for this day.

Psalm 119:27 Let me understand the teaching of your precepts; then I will meditate on your wonders.

2 Chronicles 16:9  For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.  You have done  a foolish thing, and from now you will be at war.

Hebrews 13:15 NKJV  Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that his, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.

 

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Are any of us worthy?   210% committed in whatever we set out to conquer?     Are we so caught up in proving our worth to the world that really does not care or are we truly worthy with purpose and obedience in all we do?

 

Yes, triggering thoughts from today’s ODB.com devotional.      Makes me think just why, when, and how people go about their business each day and the end results they are chasing.     The gold diggers, those that find it easier to scam and use up the blinded or just those that realize what is happening but for whatever the purpose deep in their own hearts allow themselves to be used as well.    

Almost like the abused that continually go back to the abuser until the day the choice is made for them.

Jesus, our one and only King of kings, Lord and Savior was truly worthy and beyond committed in his sacrifice for love, for life for humanity, for us!

 

Well, what do I know anyway; here and now up and off to do what I do this Sunday morning.   Just sharing thoughts and thankfully blessed another day I am given to have my feet hit the floor and take that big deep breath as I look around allowing this mind maze to start zero to sixty seconds.       With that hopefully I will capture the live we will record of this weekends message and share it out.

 

Until then no matter who, when, where… Know you are loved and needed in this world.   Someone needs your light, your wisdom, your smile.

 

Have a blessed Sunday and know not everyone is allowed this blessing to reach for the stars one more day knowing if they miss, they will always have the moon to land on.   Never stop reaching for God’s creation or his hand and heart in you.

 

If you are having problems reaching, just reach out right where you are in your heart, your mind and spirit and ask Jesus to come to you.   He is just waiting for you to let  him in every day.  

For now know you are blessed.

Matthew 1:23 “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.”

Psalm 34:6  Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

Colossians 2:6-7  So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

 

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

It is not big surprise as I purposely made it to sleep in this morning that when I got up looking around finally in the daylight; this mind starts scanning all the things I feel I need to take care of.

From little projects of organization to finding what was thought to be, but not insight.

That perhaps the frustration of the more I look the more I find from the hands or lack of others that tend to use up yet never foster good care over what they are blessed.

Yet no matter how disarray this minds eye sees things in the blessings I am given.   I am overwhelmed with the knowledge I am safe here until you tell me Lord it is time to move again.

The ripples of what goes on around me thinking what if I need to go… and then I realize I will go where you send me as you have here and now when it is time I will go again.

 

Now sipping on this second cup and the mind goes back to the truth for that one who has been chatting me up for some time now.   Telling me what they think I want to hear. When all you want is the truth…Knowing to love someone with all you are and them acceptingly with no agenda, no lies, purposing to want that like love. 

Putting Christ first and aligning their life with the best they can be, the best they purpose for and all things in truth, obedience and just being the best self with all the opportunities and blessings they too are given each day allowed up.

Those filled with flattery and so quick to say I love you but cannot even love themselves enough to really know how to get past the me’ism and selfishness that drives them for the day to day that ripples through the veins within in the arms that bury them deeper into the darkness.

Maybe I am wrong, doubtful as I am so damn transparent any given day; many think they have that one up and many cases they play with the kindness that you allow to live deep within Jesus.

That which I am forever grateful, knowing how angry and withdrawn I could become…

 

That old joke I use to say before walking with so much… Just put them on the shelf until you need them and every now and again dust them off.

 

Even my anger of all the let down from those who broke me when I would say men are allot like those old cars that I would drive around in.   They could never be depended on in the most trip needed to be made.   Either out of gas or broken down leaving you stranded on that long dark road of life.

Oh yes, it appears Jesus you have opened this mind to weave and twist around this morning.

But, oh, so thankful another day given.    Knowing things up ahead that would, could, maybe even should be… Yet everything is in your hands Jesus.   For all that I am then, now, and always belong to you.   No matter how that leaves me in the middle of a crowd yet so very alone.  I still remember that day Jesus when you made me realize I have never been.

 

This world has so many corn mazes to find our ways through; but you Lord have never let go of me even when I did not know you had hold.

If this is what it is meant to be; so be it!      All my imperfections, wrong turns and sometimes purposed misdeeds or just lost in mistakes.    It does not matter who understands or gets me.  As it is about you Father.      This world has broken me a long time ago, long before you finally got this kid from the school of hard knocks ever taught.

It is what it is until it is not.    Though craving and desires to have someone like you Jesus from the outside in…  We can forever dream eyes wide shut or open.    As long as we know who you are and cling tightly to all you are.   It does not matter what others say, do or don’t.

 

Come what may we all get to choose, and I choose you first Jesus.   You are my only hope, my breath, my very existence.    Even it has a different meaning for every soul who believes.  I know it is you who allow me life.    Even if my own free will sometimes gets distracted and I let my own self down, hoping and wanting from a world and some within it, that blows whatever direction the wind flows.

 

If it is only you, I am able to love with all that I am and everything else is what it is.   I am blessed.  A mare recipient of more than what others can never understand.

Even on the days I do not.      Today, tomorrow, sometime, or never it is you and your word and the grace of Father God and his promise of abundance and beauty in what we choose to believe, what we choose to work towards, what we choose to hold on, what we choose to let go.

If one second, I ever let go I pray you catch me as I fall Jesus.  And if you do not may all the love and abilities given from then until now remind me how blessed it has been when so many others have not been.

The hurt, the healing.   Gives us all  purpose to choose and be and try or give up.   You Lord; I choose you as I am alive even though pieces of me are all over this journey and parts of me have died while others are fighting to come alive.

You know our hearts, our minds and even our actions.    Guide me, shining your presence as I cannot on my own.      Thank you for this day and all the twists and turns and anything that goes with it.    Forever in love yet eternally yours!

Forever in love yet eternally yours!

1 Timothy 6:15-16  Which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see.  To him be honor and might forever. Amen.

James 4:8  Come near to God and he will come near to you.  Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double minded. 

Acts 17:28  “For in him we live and move and have our being.: as some of your own poets have said, “ We are his offspring.”

Psalm 145:3-6  Great is the Lord and most worth of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.  One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your might acts.  They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works.  They will tell of the  power of your awesome works and I will proclaim your great deeds.

 

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Happy fun blessed Friday into what we know as the sacrificial Memorial weekend for all our fallen who put their lives on the line so those in the USA would have freedoms they will never truly appreciate or use wisely.

Thank you, Lord, for another day given and all that has gone with this week passing and all that is to come today.

 

Release me Father from these entangled not so upbeat feelings that are trying to consume me.   Be it the political rhetoric that consumes my day to day or that of others shared with me that just adds to the layers already applied.

 

Be with those who are going through the changes, be the strength for those who need to let go and grow forward including myself.

 

The frustration of those who lack the will and respect and fly on the coattails of others or just the messes constantly left behind and the only way around keeping them cleared is ignore them or leave them all together.  

Empty words, without action; constant give away and pulling back.    The waves and ripples of all those that do not believe in you Jesus.

You are the only one that has allowed me to build my life.   Not the promotions, accolades, flattery of those who feel if they keep saying what they think you want to hear life will be as it should be.

 

Frustrating yes, when you put so much in anything and you are weary and all you really are that magic carpet ride others wipe their feet on.

The world and all those in it; including myself I suppose have our own unspoken agenda’s.

 

Open our eyes Lord and as I wake fully this day let mine be open to you and not all that seems to be trying to cling and weight me down.    Give me the visions of your beauty and how to take the next steps of all that is lasting and not just shutting out or down.

 

Clicks in an office, in a church in even your own small groups of what seems to be your life circle.     Let it go and free us for all that matters, all that is purposeful and all that is truth.

Not the temporal lies or games even if this in the world of unknown is one giant chess game and today although Princess of the most high King, Queen of my own domain feeling more like a pawn.

 

Weary and just needing to make it over that wall knowing your hand is there Jesus.   For me, for those I love, for those I want to love.

All I am belongs to you; all is yours…

Send your angels of accountibility, mercy, grace, and healing.   You know all things.

Protection, guidance letting your light shine bright.  Magnifying you Jesus.

 

Yet we get lost wishing, wanting, pushing, or tossing our way through so the world or those in our view see us.   Feeling empty, sometimes downright lost when we do not have the affirmations and things so temporal.

Trying to make sense Lord; I have no answers but that the disbelief I have some in truth is more real than anything they have given me to hold onto.   The want for others and pains of not seeing them growing to fulfill that want themselves when I know they do as they suffer in their own.    Or just the foolish pride I carry at times as I try to do to much and thrive for others; yet feel at times so uncertain for even my own.

Magnify all that you are for all my days left.   For all I connect through the rainbow ride or the fires.     So hard when scarred with so much cynicism so young  in life.    Exposed so early to how dark and painful the world can be.    Wash us clean Lord and shine bright the path to your truth.

 

Thank you for this day.

Thank you for all who have laid down their lives for the freedoms even now humanity is throwing away.

Thank you for the love that we take for granted.

Thank you for allowing each of us up another day to seek, be or live out the blessings and opportunities awaiting.

 

This too shall pass, what is in the dark always comes to light.  Be it yours, mine, or any unknowns.

 

May I always find you face down or with lifted hands and anywhere in between.  May I never forget who you are in me; and who I am created by you.   Be with even those who think they are taking flight and are one up and ahead without you in their own plans, schemes, and at times misdeeds for the selfish ambitions they seek.

I was until you allowed me out of my own wreckage as I now try to grasp on all that I am. 

So, feeling like a puppet, or dancing monkey.   May this day and any given be acknowledged and we be truly filled with your spirit of peace, abundant love, and hope of any tomorrows.   May we lift our hands, our eyes, and our hearts to you Jesus!   

 

More than just happy; may we dance deep in our souls when we cannot move out of our own way without the elements trying to consume us.    In Jesus mighty name.  May we learn and be love as you are Father God.

“Clothing your mind in Me is your best preparation for each day.  This discipline brings Joy and Peace to you and those around you.”

 

Psalm 27:8 NKJV  When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart sad to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”

Romans 13:14  Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of sinful nature. 

1 Corinthians 2:16  “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?”  But we have the mind of Christ.

Colossians 3:12  Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

 

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Running to you Father is all I can do.   There is no other that holds me like you do.

Just being me or trying to be my best self; with dreams, desires, wants and needs.   Yet really all I am requires you to sustain.

 

If only all the world of humanity would realize how precious, they are in your creation and stop trying to be what the world says it should be.   Looking and being what the perception of superficial day to day calls for.  Making money doing what we do, starving ourselves from true joy and peace to look like that supermodel or just fit in that mold of weirdness that we dare to be different just to exist and be seen.

 

In the arms of you my Father you accept ups and show us the way of every hair on our heads and how to unknot those heart strings when we cling to you through Jesus Christ.

Nowhere is it written unless we wrote it out that there would not be hard days.  Those days in the fire that help mold the next path we will run, skip, or walk slowly through.

There will always be something and someone more than me.  Always  those I truly love for the depths of what their glow shines forth.  

Even while their stitched-up hearts that have been broken in a billion pieces; without any mission to give or take from anyone.  They just glow forward helping nourish the spirits within your garden Jesus.

 

I will never stop needing you then, now, and always.   For all I am is blessed to life by you God. All I am given are the blessings loaned while in this journey.    Being good stewards of our vessels, and all things acquired for good use and purpose to shine, and help others grow forward.    

 Knowing in the blink of an eye; wind of a storm or drop of rain it can all change.  Yet the ability and blessing to be our best selves with what we are given and knowing if it is not good enough for some, many, or none at all it would have never been nor intended to be.

The greatness of you who lives through the very cells created in abundance of unexplainable peace all the while the darkness and its demons try to snuff out the very light that leads us to one day meet you in the land of milk and honey Jesus.   Face to face no more worries, pain, sorrow.   One day we will be face-to-face with the Truth Everlasting.

 

So be it sitting around a table with the breeze blowing as new meaning to family and friends circled up has come to be.   Or the heartbreak scrolling across any tv set where another one of your children have lost their mind to the demons.   

Jesus

Come Yesterday!

Come Tomorrow!

Come Now!  We need you now; I need you now and always, every breath I am allowed to exhale.

Thank you for allowing me the knowledge and power of you.  Thank you for this new day of opportunities waiting for me and all I connect.    May all I do be purposed and pleasing in your eyes and will.
