Mid Afternoon Meditation 1-4-20

Posted on by under Pastor Wrinkles

But you have rejected, you have spurned,
    you have been very angry with your anointed one.
39 You have renounced the covenant with your servant
    and have defiled his crown in the dust.
40 You have broken through all his walls
    and reduced his strongholds to ruins.
41 All who pass by have plundered him;
    he has become the scorn of his neighbors.
42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes;
    you have made all his enemies rejoice.
43 Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword
    and have not supported him in battle.
44 You have put an end to his splendor
    and cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have cut short the days of his youth;
    you have covered him with a mantle of shame. Psalm 89: 38-45

Is this David speaking of himself or is he speaking prophetically of Jesus and how much of what is being said is perception rather than reality?

Morning Direction From Scripture 1-4-20

I will establish his line forever,
    his throne as long as the heavens endure.

30 “If his sons forsake my law
    and do not follow my statutes,
31 if they violate my decrees
    and fail to keep my commands,
32 I will punish their sin with the rod,
    their iniquity with flogging;
33 but I will not take my love from him,
    nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
34 I will not violate my covenant
    or alter what my lips have uttered.
35 Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness—
    and I will not lie to David—
36 that his line will continue forever
    and his throne endure before me like the sun;
37 it will be established forever like the moon,
    the faithful witness in the sky.” Psalm 89:29-37

What does it mean that God swears by His holiness?

What do verses 30-34 teach us about the New Covenant?

A Photom A Week: Opposite Weather Attracts

Posted on by under Photography

I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN A PHOTO A WEEK CHALLENGE RECENTLY.

I am excited to be back and with luck this will become a permanent part of my new blogging regiment (this is assuming my new blogging regimen survives the year).  Anyway this week I am doing it! Nancy has asked us to show an example of weather  which is the opposite of what we are receiving right now.

Here in Massachusetts the weather is cold and icy. So Florida in August should be about as opposite as you can get from this!

P{lease click the link in the first line of this post to see what Nancy’s other contributors are experiencing for opposite weather.

I will set his hand over the sea,
    his right hand over the rivers.
26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,
    my God, the Rock my Savior.’
27 And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,
    the most exalted of the kings of the earth.
28 I will maintain my love to him forever,
    and my covenant with him will never fail.
29 I will establish his line forever,
    his throne as long as the heavens endure. Psalm 89:25-29

What is the covenant God has made with and through Jesus?
