Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

✝️ DAILY DEVOTIONAL, August 8, 2022
Thanks Dan!
Ask a question before drifting off the sleep, spurgeon and you provided the answer ☺️ ❤️
Good (not Monday) morning, Cat. Blessings, girl, for this day and all the others following.🤗
The love from and of Christ shines through Dr Spurgeon. If one ever needed an example of the truth of his devotional this morning, all that needs to be done is to read every word.
For me, not one can write or deliver a heavenly message better or more full of faith and hope than Dr Spurgeon….unless it is Archbishop Vigano, from whom I also take the greatest comfort.🙏

Wasn’t that a Keith Whitley tune? “When you say nothing at all?” Been a long time since I’ve heard it and Alison does a great job with it. Though, I am partial to the original.
For some reason – I can’t receive responses, Garrison. Though I don’t know you…. I often pray for you and your bride. Blessings Garrison.
I believe it was, J.
Soooo good. Loved Keith’s gravely voice. I try not to listen to country too much… makes me miss Texas. Not that I’d recognize Texas anymore after 20 some odd years. God bless her!
Just had to…
Keith Whitley – When You Say Nothing at All – Bing video
Trust me, if you know where to go it’s the same. We’re stubborn about some things, J. 🙂
Thank God
If you are a Texan, or have lived in this state but left, trust me…you take it with you and spread it everywhere. You can be a super spreader!! No bad thing.
That’s right, Bet. I think I am a super spreader right now. 😀
Well don’t wear a mask! Spread more!😁
There’s some George Jones in Keith
🙂
🙂
It was a Paul Overstreet & Don Schlitz tune, covered by 3 different artists that charted with it.
Alison Kraus, Keith Whitley and Ronan Keating.
I’m kinda partial to this one
Thanks for your partial rendition… ❤️
Hi everybody!!
Howdy 🤠

Prayer in the Father’s Honor
…that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. —Luke 1:35
If the Son of God has been born into my human flesh, then am I allowing His holy innocence, simplicity, and oneness with the Father the opportunity to exhibit itself in me? What was true of the Virgin Mary in the history of the Son of God’s birth on earth is true of every saint. God’s Son is born into me through the direct act of God; then I as His child must exercise the right of a child— the right of always being face to face with my Father through prayer. Do I find myself continually saying in amazement to the commonsense part of my life, “Why did you want me to turn here or to go over there? ‘Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?’ ” (Luke 2:49). Whatever our circumstances may be, that holy, innocent, and eternal Child must be in contact with His Father.
Am I simple enough to identify myself with my Lord in this way? Is He having His wonderful way with me? Is God’s will being fulfilled in that His Son has been formed in me (see Galatians 4:19), or have I carefully pushed Him to one side? Oh, the noisy outcry of today! Why does everyone seem to be crying out so loudly? People today are crying out for the Son of God to be put to death. There is no room here for God’s Son right now— no room for quiet, holy fellowship and oneness with the Father.
Is the Son of God praying in me, bringing honor to the Father, or am I dictating my demands to Him? Is He ministering in me as He did in the time of His manhood here on earth? Is God’s Son in me going through His passion, suffering so that His own purposes might be fulfilled? The more a person knows of the inner life of God’s most mature saints, the more he sees what God’s purpose really is: to “…fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ…” (Colossians 1:24). And when we think of what it takes to “fill up,” there is always something yet to be done.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Am I getting nobler, better, more helpful, more humble, as I get older? Am I exhibiting the life that men take knowledge of as having been with Jesus, or am I getting more self-assertive, more deliberately determined to have my own way? It is a great thing to tell yourself the truth.

MORNING
The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Prov. 4:18
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Phil. 3:12
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD. Hos. 6:3
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Matt. 13:43
We all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. II Cor. 3:18
When that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. I Cor. 13:10
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. I Cor. 13:12
Beloved, now are we the sons of God; and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. I John 3:2, 3
EVENING
Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall he saved. Rom. 10:13
Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. John 6:37
Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. Luke 23:42, 43
What will ye that I shall do unto you? They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him. Matt. 20:32-34
If ye … being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luke 11:13
I will put my Spirit within you. Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of. Ezek. 36:27, 37
This is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. I John 5:14, 15

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.

Something a little different music wise:
May everyone’s day be filled with live, happiness and an occasional laugh! ❤️
Thank you, my friend. Off to try to save what’s left of parched plants, before the unforgiving heat has its way with them. I may be on a fool’s errand, but have to try.
Good morning, Bet. Yes, it’s a good idea to do the yard work in the morning or late evening. Weather Channel says there might be a slight chance of rain in my area later in evening. I didn’t see much of anything on the radar. High 90s temps, with a couple of triple digit days thrown for the next 3 weeks. Again, that’s what is forecast in central Oklahoma. Summers in Texas are probably worse unless you live near the Gulf Coast. Then there’s the humidity to contend with.
Take care, stay hydrated, and try not to over exert yourself. I’m surprised (and glad) we haven’t had any power blackouts yet.
I’ve been drinking lots of bottled water lately.
Good morning, sir. I do hope you get some worthy of a good downpour. Yes do please keep hydrating! I’ve been doing the same. We are so desperate for moisture. I can’t remember when we last had any, that’s how long it has been.
The day will eventually come I know. In the meantime, just have to keep praying.
Hope your week is full of blessings, Joe,as I know you we a blessing for others.😘🙏

Breaking news: Nurse Linton and Anne Heche have both been disqualified from the Los Angeles Grand Prix Formula One race.
Absolutely
Did you see the vid of the car crash where the nurse plowed through the intersection in LA? She had to be doing close to 100 mph. Unreal.
I certainly did. I believe he was the one not paying attention. She should have stopped. Going way too fast. If she was charged for anything, I haven’t seen it. He was lucky to be able to walk away.
Cyclists in Britain are the worst. Very demanding of the roads they think they own. Pay no taxes, hold everyone up on those narrow roads. And now they have been given license to report cars they think are too close to them in passing. The cause u told accidents and hold a moral superiority that is extremely obnoxious.
I could go on…

The place where the WWW (world wide web) was invented is hunting for and finding WWW boson production. (W bosons are involved in the weak force.)

And, a new milestone has been achieved in Laser Ignition Fusion.

If we are lucky, they may even achieve breakeven in a few years.
But to have a viable energy source, they need 100 times what they put in.
So keep funding massive fusion research because its always just decades away.
