Saturday Psalm & Praise

Psalm 127

 1Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

 2It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

 3Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

 4As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

 5Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.


Psalm 128

 1Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

 2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

 3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

 4Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

 5The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

 6Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.



Psalm 129

 1Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

 2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

 3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. 

 4The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

 5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

 6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

 7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

 8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.


Psalm 130

 1Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

 2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

 3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

 4The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

 5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

 6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

 7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

 8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

My Bible Reading For Today!

Posted in My Daily Life
I thought it was time to update my blog. I want to share with you what I read in the Bible today. I was told to read two chapters of Psalms, but I got so interested that I read 5! Well, I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did. :o)

Psalm 12
1
Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
 2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
8The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

Psalm 13
 1How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
 2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
 5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
 6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

Psalm 14
 1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
 2The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
 3They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
 4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
 5There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
 6Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.
 7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Psalm 15
 1Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
 2He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
 3He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
 4In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
 5He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Psalm 16
 1Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
 2O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
 3But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
 4Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
 5The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
 6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
 7I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
 8I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
 10For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
 11Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

How did you like the Psalms? Tell me some of your favorite Bible chapters and verses. I love to hear them! :o)

Saturday Psalm & Praise

Here is my SP&P for today.

Proverbs 27

 1Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

 2Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

 3A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.

 4Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

 5Open rebuke is better than secret love.

 6Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

 7The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

 8As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.

 9Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

 10Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

 11My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

 12A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

 13Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

 14He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

 15A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

 16Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.

 17Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

 18Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

 19As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

 20Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

 21As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.

 22Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

 23Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.

 24For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?

 25The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.

 26The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.

 27And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

Proverbs 28

 1The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

 2For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

 3A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

 4They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

 5Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

 6Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

 7Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

 8He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

 9He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

 10Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.

 11The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

 12When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.

 13He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

 14Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

 15As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

 16The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

 17A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.

 18Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

 19He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

 20A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

 21To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

 22He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.

 23He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

 24Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

 25He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

 26He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

 27He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

 28When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.

Proverbs 29

 1He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

 2When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

 3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

 4The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

 5A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

 6In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

 7The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

 8Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

 9If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

 10The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.

 11A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

 12If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

 13The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.

 14The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.

 15The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

 16When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.

 17Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

 18Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

 19A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.

 20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

 21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.

 22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

 23A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

 24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

 25The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

 26Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.

 27An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIC!

Posted in My Daily Life

Apple Blossoms Eric Brought Me 05-08Where do I begin??? With the day we found out we were expecting you? Or the day we found out we were expecting our first son? Or when the Dr. told me that ‘there may be some problems’, and I felt God telling me that I can say to this mountain be thou moved and be thou cast into the sea… and the problems were gone that afternoon from the ultrasound screen?

Or should I talk about moving 1500 miles when you were but three months old? Or how rambunctious you are were? Watching you stand down by the fence at two, watching the trains go by, “honking them”.Eric Holding Mr. Bennett

Knowing in my heart that your little two-year-old leg was broken when we took you to the ER, and crying when the Dr. confirmed it…

Seeing you change Hannah’s diaper, then Isaac’s, then Caleb’s, and now Lucy’s. The joy I feel when you laugh with her and coo with her and want to hold her. It gives me hope and a vision of what a great father you will be someday.

Eric Enjoying A Favorite PastimeThe barn chores, cleaning up a room you didn’t mess up. Holding your tongue when you want to let it go. Reading everything you can get your hands on!

Always coming to Mom’s aid when I need handy-man work done and Daddy is at work. Always finding you outside. Always. Riding your bike to check on goats and chickens - or to run the trash out…Kitchen Floor Matt and Rachel, Eric and Hannah

The anticipation of turning eleven. How can you be eleven? Just yesterday you got into the double digits, and now an entire year has passed. Make the most of your time, for it passes much too quickly.

I am so proud of you son. I could reiterate all of the moments like these, and I could not say just how proud I am to be your Momma. Eric Helping Jocelyn Make Her Hope ChestThere aren’t enough words. I love you. I am thankful for these past eleven years and I look forward to so many more I can’t even count those either!

Have a super fantastic blessed birthday, my son!!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You are an awesome son!

All my love, Mom

Saturday Psalm & Praise - Revelation

Today is Saturday and I want to post Revelation 20:4 5 6 to share with you about the End times

Revelation 20:4 (King James Version)
4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Revelation 20:5 (King James Version)
5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Revelation 20:6 (King James Version)
6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath
 no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
 
Have a great day

Sincerely,
