"Only Life Changes"

The Story of Psalm 68. The Philistines lived by the sea to the west of the Jews. David was the king of the Jews. The Philistines and the Jews were enemies. In one of their fights, the Philistines took away the Ark of God. The Ark was a special box made of wood. It was a metre (measure) long and half a metre (measure) high and half a metre (measure) wide. Thy God hath commanded thy strength. The great power of the Israelites, and the height of glory and strength to which the kingdom of David had arisen, was the work of God; which naturally makes way for the petition following, Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
Psalm 68:1-35
Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melted before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rides upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. God setteth the solitary in families: he brings out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. O God, when thou went forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah: The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon. The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan. Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desires to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever. The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death. But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goes on still in his trespasses. The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea: That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same. They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels. Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali. Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war. Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: To him that rides upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
Father God, I thank You and praise You for this verse in Psalm Chapter 68:10 that reads: “Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.”} I thank You and praise You that it is Your will to help those that are afflicted, to support the weak, to provide for the widows and orphans and to help those that are in need. But also there are those who are seem to defeated by a world that don’t care about the felons. Those who serve their time for disobedience and they come out of prison just to find that perfect people who never sinned a day in their lives they think; put felons back in jail to condemn them as dirty. We know those perfect people you see, will get their just reward. Guide others to see what these perfect people do and God stop them perfect people in their own dirty deeds. Just saying. I thank You that You are a God of second chances. Use my mind to and mouth to encourage others. Use my hands and feet to be of service to those in need, and use my voice to speak words of healing, courage and encouragement to those that are afflicted and in distress. Thank You and praise You for hearing my prayer and believing in Your children and thank You that You are just a breath away for all and all, in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

{Treasure Box}
Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall hear: thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou wilt take away the chain out of the midst of thee, and cease to stretch out the finger, and to speak that which profited not. Isaiah 58:9

Thank You, heavenly Father, for Your plan of prayer. We are glad You want us to keep in close touch with You in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
Matthew 10:32-42
Every one therefore that shall confess me {Jesus Christ} before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword. For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And as a man’s enemies shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not up his cross, and follows me, is not worthy of me. He that finds his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it. He that receives you, receives me: and he that receives me, receives him that sent me. He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receives a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man. And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

Get wisdom, because it is better than gold: and purchase prudence, for it is more precious than silver. The path of the just departs from evils: he that keeps his soul keeps his way. Proverbs 16: 16-17
Have a wonderful day full of blessings and joy and enjoy this new day.

Psalm 67: This national psalm of thanksgiving expresses the gratefulness of the people to God and their confidence in His continued blessings. It begins with a blessing by the priest (verse 1), and a reflection of the Aaronic benediction (in Numbers 6:24-26). Then there is a call to all peoples to praise God (verses 2-5). ” What Psalm 67 means ” explains them. Bible students do not know who wrote this psalm, or when. It uses two ideas from the Old Testament, one is from the Book of Numbers. The other is from the Book of Genesis. Here is Numbers 6:24-26. 😊 “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26 😊”El Señor te bendiga y te guarde; el Señor hace que su rostro brille sobre ti y sea amable contigo; el Señor vuelve su rostro hacia ti y te da paz.” Números 6:24-26 They are words that God spoke to Moses, for Moses to tell the people. *LORD is a special name for God. This wonderful psalm is sometimes forgotten or neglected when God’s people think of their favorite psalms. Though Martin Luther wrote five large volumes of exposition on Psalms, he skipped Psalm 67 entirely. Nevertheless, this psalm has a heart to see God’s way, God’s salvation, and God’s praise extended through all the earth.
Psalm 67:1-7
God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah. Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
Father God,I thank You and praise You for the awesome works of Your hands and the awesome deeds that You have done for me. I thank You and praise You that Jesus came to redeem me and to die in my place, so that I could be raised into newness of life, and live with You in the eternal times to come. How awesome are Your works and how great and Mighty is Your power. All the earth will worship You and sing praises to Your holy name, for You alone are worthy of our honor, glory and thanksgiving, our worship and praise. I am believing for You Father God, to work in all lives today for all sinners to come to repentance and grow in Your grace and walk, In Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Psalm 67:1

What does the word “Selah” mean in the Bible? Selah is defined as a Hebrew word that has been found at the ending of verses in Psalms and has been interpreted as an instruction calling for a break in the singing of the Psalm or it may mean “forever.”. An example of Selah is seeing the term used seventy-one times in the Psalms in the Hebrew Bible. Your Dictionary definition and usage example.

Psalm Chapter 66: Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth: As in the previous and the next psalm, Psalm 66 has not only Israel in view but all the earth. The psalmist understood that God was not only God over Israel, but the whole world. It was good and appropriate for him to call everyone to joyfully praise God. This is a thanksgiving-psalm, and it is of such a general use and application that we need not suppose it penned upon any particular occasion. All people are here called upon to praise God, I. For the general instances of his sovereign dominion and power in the whole creation (v. 1-7).
Psalm Chapter 66:1-20
Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious. Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him. He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
Father God, I thank You and praise You for my inside voice and outside voice. You are making my outside voice new everyday. I lift up my voice in praise to Your glorious and honorable name! You alone are worthy, You alone are the Lord God Almighty! Thank You that You have saved me from the pit and set my feet on the Rock of my salvation. How awesome are Your deeds and I thank You, praise You and I love You Lord, in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Now I have given up everything else that I may really know Christ and experience the mighty power that brought Him back to life again, and find out what it means to suffer and die with Him, So that whatever it takes I will be one who lives in the fresh newness of life of those who are alive from the dead. I don’t mean to say I am perfect. I haven’t learned all I should even yet, but I keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that Christ saved me for and wants me to be. No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be but I am bringing all my energies to bear on this one thing: forgetting the past and looking forward to the {future} what lies ahead. I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God is calling us up to heaven because of what Christ Jesus did for us.
Philippians 3:10-14

I am Your servant; therefore give me common sense to apply Your rules to everything I do. Psalm 119:125

Psalm 65: The psalm has a simple purpose: to express thanksgiving for rain and harvest, an appropriate subject in a farming economy. It is addressed to God in its entirely and presents Him as The God who forgives (verses 1-4), the God who intervenes in history (verses 5-8), and the God who provides (verses 9-13).The title of this psalm is To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song. Charles Spurgeon observed this about the uncommon pairing of Psalm and Song for this composition: “The Hebrew calls it a Shur and Mizmor, a combination of psalm and song, which may be best described by the term, ‘A Lyrical Poem.’

Praise waits for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. O thou that hears prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. Blessed is the man whom thou chooses, and causes to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea. Which by his strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power: Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makes the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. Thou visits’ the earth, and waters it: thou greatly enriches it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou prepares them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. Thou waters the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settles’ the furrows thereof: thou makes’ it soft with showers: thou blesses the springing thereof. Thou crowns the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
Psalm 65:1-13
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makes the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

Psalm 65:8

My son Jon tried to end his life when he come out of jail. I revived him as the ambulance came and got Jon and took him to MH. Then he was taking to evaluation hospital. He had insurance back then.

In July of 2019 I made our paid property commercial. So our Brother and sister-in-law was using the drive way part of the property because we agreed to let our relatives use the property. December 2019 our brother-in law left with us his 2 park bench’s and bird bath. “The new man next door”, came and told me he owns that stuff. But it was on my property. The “new man next door” also told me he owned my driveway which was a lie! My brother-in-law had his property surveyed and my driveway was not included. So we closed off our driveway. Mean time I used the dolly to take the park bench’s and the water fountain back over the other property cause I didn’t know and “The man next door” threatened to call the police and I shouldn’t of listened to” The man next door” because he was just bulling me and “The new man next door” watched me struggle carrying the stuff back. Then asked me when I was finished if I needed help. This property I took back, belonged to my Brother and sister in law not “The new man next door” Then “The new man next door” started letting his dog run my fence deliberately just for the dogs to fight, like this was going to control us. “The new man next door” knew when we came outside and sent his dog to the fence and still does to this day. Then one day of late February 2021 his daughter was riding her bike and let their dog attack my dog while I was holding my dog on a leash. Their dog was off a leash, she deliberately let her dog attack mine while I held the leash trying to get away from that dog that belonged to her. “The new girl next door” called her dog as she rode by and snarled a look like revenge and didn’t even stop to apologize.
One day early April 2021 “The new man next door” daughter called the police on my son Jon because our dogs ball went over the fence. Then another day April 24, 2021 Jon had our dog Pongo on the leash and was walking him and the dog got loose and went in “The new man next door” yard and “The new man next door” daughter would not let my son get the dog and she had many witness’s cause she wanted my son to go to jail and she said this to him harrasing him he proceeded home and then tried to get in our house and ended up breaking our door. We called the police and They came and we didn’t know what had happened this is why I called the police. Well they took Jon to TRI-County Conroe, Texas for evaluation. Then I went and picked up Jon at Tri County at 11 pm at night. I was told exactly what happen at this time. He was embarrassed by “The new man next door” and his daughter and hurt that she wouldn’t let him have his dog. Anyways. April 26, 2021. My son Jon went fishing that morning and I was looking for Pongo’s leash Sunday and my son proceeded to walk by “The new man next door” yard and the dog’s leash was on the fence of “The new man next door” . So Jon grabbed it at the end of “The new man next door” driveway. So “The new man next door” daughter called the police on Jon and Jon was arrested for trespassing.
We went to 501 Thompson (Suite 300) Conroe, Texas I believe Tuesday April 27, 2021 for a (Emergency Detention Warrant) Medical Emergency police came and took Jon to Tri County where Jon was released that evening of the 27th of April 2021.
April 28, 2021 I was walking around taking pictures like I always do down the paths of Lakeland and I was walking on the street and “The new man next door” was putting the trash out. So I said good afternoon. “The new man next door” slowly walked towards me and asked what is the problem with your son I shrugged my shoulders and said “What’s wrong with my son? He said that Jon has scared his daughter. Then his daughter comes out screaming at me about me walking on her property. I said nicely this is the street I am taking photos and she said you can’t take photos of my house. I said I wasn’t taking photos of your house. I said I always walk around taking photos. She said well you was over on your path taking photos ,now you are in front of my house. I said call the police cause I have the right just as before to walk where I want to. I said I have done nothing to you. She preceded to get upset and let me know why I shouldn’t let my son live in the neighborhood and how I was a bad mother etc. In her way of childish talking of course it is my word against hers. I was not at all on her property! But it was made true she was watching me close. That afternoon my son Jon wanted to go fishing and so I took my school book and notepad and was reading my school book and being a good mom watching and taking care of my son so I didn’t have to deal with the grief. So I was studying and my son was doing what he wanted to do. Then she comes out side and I was reading my book didn’t know she was there and she is yelling at me saying I am just like my son standing in front of her house. I was not. An saying she was going to smear me and my son all over social media and just being out right evil. So I ignored her. No one should put up with this kind of neighbor harassment
My son has been on “The new man next door” property 4 times only

1. When I asked him to take something over to “The new man next door” daughter.
2. When my son went over with me to give her acard and jelly I had made as a gift for “The new man next door” and his daughter.
3. To get the dogs ball and “The new man next door” daughter called the police.
4. To get Pongo our dog’s leash.
   No neighbor should have to put up with neighbors who cause problems. We have done nothing to hurt or harm these people.

Anything that’s done apart from faith is sin. Roman’s 14:23
Even if we believe that it makes no difference to the Lord that we do these things, still we cannot just go ahead and do them to please ourselves; for we must bear the “burden” of being considerate of the doubts and fears of others. Of those who feel these things are wrong. Lets please the other fellow, not ourselves, if it is for his good and builds him up in the Lord. Jesus Christ didn’t please Himself. As the prophets said, He came for the very purpose of suffering under the insults of those who were against the Lord. Romans 15:1-3

Psalm 64 emphasizes the devious nature of David’s enemies. They use secret plots. They shoot in secret. They attack suddenly. Especially because David mentions an attack by arrows from a hidden or secret position, his enemies act like the ancient version of snipers. The psalmist earnestly begs of God to preserve him from disquieting fear. The tongue is a little member, but it boasts great things. The upright man is the mark at which the wicked aim, they cannot speak peaceably either of him or to him. There is no guard against a false tongue.
Psalm 64:1-10
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
Father God, thank You for David’s example of a person who confided in You even when others plotted against David, You stuck by Him through it all. Thank You when our enemies plot against us. You hear, see and respond to them with their own evilness and let them fall into their own pit of injustices they prepared for themselves to hurt others. I thank You and praise You that You are a Father God of justice for the righteous man and woman. You are Your Children’s All and All Glorious Father. A Father that loves his children who do right, even if they are harasser or gossiped about. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. Psalm 64:10
