From the least to the greatest, all will know God through His Son and our Savior Christ Jesus the LORD. What a tremendous improvement to the Old Covenant!

Hebrews 8:6 states ^“But as it is, Christ^[b] has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.”

Combining the Old Testament reading with the New Testament reading for today*, I was reminded of the everlasting nature of the New Covenant, emphasizing the breakable nature of the Old.

First, we are reminded as stated in the Bible Hub.com, of a few important take aways from Ezekiel 16:

9. “The Significance of Spiritual Adultery
Ezekiel 16 uses the metaphor of adultery to describe Israel’s unfaithfulness. This highlights the seriousness of spiritual infidelity and the pain it causes God. “You were not satisfied” (Ezekiel 16:28). It’s a call to examine our own lives and ensure our hearts are fully devoted to God.

10. The Assurance of God’s Mercy
Finally, Ezekiel 16 assures us of God’s mercy. Despite Israel’s sins, God’s mercy prevails. “I will establish My covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD” (Ezekiel 16:62). This is a comforting reminder that God’s mercy is greater than our failures, and His love endures forever.”

Lastly, we notice the Old becomes obsolete, since Israel was unable to keep their part of the bargain.

The good news is that Christ Jesus upholds the New as the sinless (aka perfect) Son of God. Forever it will stand.

For those struggling to know whether “one way” for all people is possible, consider this linked short from Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell.

Today, if you “hear” His voice (through the Holy Spirit conviction), respond in faith and call out to your Creator and Redeemer. -Teresa #yesLord

Ezekiel 16: 59-63 (ESV) bold added for emphasis

The Lord’s Everlasting Covenant

⁵⁹ “For thus says the Lord God: I will deal with you as you have done, you who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant,⁶⁰ yet I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish for you an everlasting covenant. ⁶¹ Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you take your sisters, both your elder and your younger, and I give them to you as daughters, but not on account of^[b] the covenant with you. ⁶² I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall know that I am the Lord, ⁶³ that you may remember and be confounded, and never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord God.”

b. Ezekiel 16:61 Or not apart from

Hebrews 8:7-13 (ESV)

 ⁷ For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.

⁸ For he finds fault with them when he says:^[c]

“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
    when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
    and with the house of Judah,
⁹ not like the covenant that I made with their fathers
    on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
For they did not continue in my covenant,
    and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord.
¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
    after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
    and write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
    and they shall be my people.
¹¹ And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor
    and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall all know me,
    from the least of them to the greatest.
¹² For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
    and I will remember their sins no more.”

¹³ In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

When David wrote this Psalm, he left no room for wondering if we should bless the Lord!

Why?

-The Lord’s name is holy

-He gives supernatural benefits

-He has the power to forgive iniquity

-He has the ability to heal diseases

-He buys us back (redeems us), from the pit

-He crowns our lives with steadfast love and mercy

-He renews our youth (like an eagle), by satisfying us with goodness

-He works righteousness and justice for the oppressed

-He was made known to the people of Israel by His actions and He made His ways known to Moses, personally

-His merciful grace makes Him slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love

-He won’t stay angry or chide us forever

-He is not going to repay our iniquities or treat us as harshly as our sin deserves

-His steadfast love is great to those who fear Him, just as the heavens are higher than the earth

-He removes our transgressions from us farther than the east is from the west

-He shows compassion towards those who fear Him as a Father would show toward his children

-He remembers how we are made (from dust)

-Men and women have earthly lives that are temporary (like the grass), flourishing like a flower in the field. When the wind passes over it, it’s gone (its “place” doesn’t even remember it)

-the Lord’s steadfast love is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, his righteousness to their children’s children, (on those keeping the Lord’s covenant and remembering to do His commandments)

-His throne is established in the heavens and His kingdom rules over all, therefore:

• Bless the Lord…you his angels
• Bless the Lord…all his hosts
• Bless the Lord…all his works
• Bless the Lord, O my soul!

Take some time today to sing this, to pray this, to practice rejoicing in this but most importantly…to revel in the truth of God’s word. -Teresa #thanksdad #Abbafather

Psalm 103:1-22 (ESV)

103 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and all that is within me,
    bless his holy name!
² Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits,
³ who forgives all your iniquity,
    who heals all your diseases,
⁴ who redeems your life from the pit,
    who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
⁵ who satisfies you with good
    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

⁶ The Lord works righteousness
    and justice for all who are oppressed.
⁷ He made known his ways to Moses,
    his acts to the people of Israel.
⁸ The Lord is merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
⁹ He will not always chide,
    nor will he keep his anger forever.
¹⁰ He does not deal with us according to our sins,
    nor repay us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
¹² as far as the east is from the west,
    so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
¹³ As a father shows compassion to his children,
    so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
¹⁴ For he knows our frame;^[a]
    he remembers that we are dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are like grass;
    he flourishes like a flower of the field;
¹⁶ for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
    and its place knows it no more.
¹⁷ But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
    and his righteousness to children’s children,
¹⁸ to those who keep his covenant
    and remember to do his commandments.
¹⁹ The Lord has established his throne in the heavens,
    and his kingdom rules over all.

²⁰ Bless the Lord, O you his angels,
    you mighty ones who do his word,
    obeying the voice of his word!
²¹ Bless the Lord, all his hosts,
    his ministers, who do his will!
²² Bless the Lord, all his works,
    in all places of his dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!

More and more we rely on a good cup of coffee in the morning to be ready to start the day.

Psalm 94 talks about God’s consolation cheering our soul (especially when our hearts are heavy).

Although it does not include authorship, there is speculation that Jeremiah, Moses or most likely David penned its content with application extending to the worldwide “church”.

Regarding verse 19, this excerpt states it well… from The BibleHub.com “thy comforts delight my soul; such as flow from the love of God, is shed abroad in the heart; from the presence of God enjoyed; from the exceeding great and precious promises of the Gospel; from Christ, and the things of Christ, shown, brought home, and applied by the Spirit; his person, offices, fulness, righteousness, blood, and sacrifice; all which are a fund of divine consolation to a distressed mind: these are the consolations of God, of which he is the provider, author, and giver, and therefore called “the God of all comfort”; they come from Christ, the “consolation of Israel”, and by the Spirit the Comforter, who sheds abroad the love of God in the heart; reveals Christ, and the things of Christ; opens and applies the promises; wherefore these comforts are called the “comforts of the Holy Ghost”; and they are usually enjoyed by means of the word and ordinances…strong, and even everlasting, and which “delight the soul”; worldly comforts may delight the animal part, and please the senses, but not delight the soul, especially a wounded spirit, a distressed mind; but these will satiate the weary soul, and replenish the sorrowful soul with a joy unspeakable, and full of glory: the psalmist may here represent the church in the latter day, when in the midst of her troubles, and having many distressing thoughts concerning the issue of things; the comforts of God, from his promises, will delight her”…

On our walk home from coffee this morning, we spied the illumination of the creek bed feeding the wetlands. It was beautiful in the setting of the “super” luminous full moon and early rising of the dawn.

From the night to the morning…we look to you, O God, our strength and our Redeemer. Even as a night watchman waiting for the coming of the dawn, my soul waits for you. -Teresa

Psalm 94:12-19 (ESV)*

¹² Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O Lord,
    and whom you teach out of your law,
¹³ to give him rest from days of trouble,
    until a pit is dug for the wicked.
¹⁴ For the Lord will not forsake his people;
    he will not abandon his heritage;
¹⁵ for justice will return to the righteous,
    and all the upright in heart will follow it.

¹⁶ Who rises up for me against the wicked?
    Who stands up for me against evildoers?
¹⁷ If the Lord had not been my help,
    my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
¹⁸ When I thought, “My foot slips,”
    your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.
¹⁹ When the cares of my heart are many,
    your consolations cheer my soul.

My granddaughters and I explored this bird’s nest yesterday. Each of us captured an image, depicting what we thought.

After reading this Biblical passage, I was reminded that God gives us a way out from fear.

When I look at our oldest granddaughter’s photo, I “see” that the baby birds were not afraid to fly when it was time. The mama bird was not afraid to have the babies. The father bird was not afraid of the squirrel who frequently tried to steal bird eggs from the nearby trees.

When we are yoked together with our Lord and Savior, we too can be freed from fear. His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

Matthew 11:28-30 (ESV)

[28] Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Do not remain captive to fear, instead be free to keep in step with God’s purposes. His work molds us and disciplines us with the ultimate goal of strength and humility.

Giants in the faith are the ones who quietly endured, pulling alongside the Savior, for the good of many. #restinHiswork

You may not see their name in lights or even know their names. Our Heavenly Father knows them. They were/are the ones who escaped from the snare of fear, moving forward confidently in His ultimate work on the cross. -Teresa #Resurrection

Jeremiah 30:8-10 (ESV)*

⁸ “And it shall come to pass in that day, declares the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and I will burst your bonds, and foreigners shall no more make a servant of him.^[a] 9 But they shall serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

¹⁰ “Then fear not, O Jacob my servant, declares the Lord,
    nor be dismayed, O Israel;
for behold, I will save you from far away,
    and your offspring from the land of their captivity.
Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease,
    and none shall make him afraid.

What is lacking in YOUR faith?

If I lived in Paul’s day, what a gift it would be to sit in church knowing that Paul’s team was bringing the very lesson I lacked.

Who today is bringing those very lessons into your life?

That which makes us abound in love for one another and for all people can only come through changed hearts. This is also known as being born again (of the Spirit).

Paul experienced this as he claimed that everything about his life B.C. (before Christ), including his religious status as a Pharisee was of no value compared to “knowing” the Lord Jesus Christ.

There is an ability to know intellectually and more importantly there is knowing, experientially. The experience Paul had (when his entire character changed), happened on the road to Damascus (Acts 9).

No amount of right knowledge (AI) will substitute for right character (true grit).

When Paul continued to have a desire to minister to those who were new in their faith, he demonstrated true grit. (see the passage below)

What person brings life to you? They just may be the one you must also continue ministering to. #buildingfaith

As we minister to one another, never underestimate the importance of bringing life through your faith walk. We may not be an apostle, but the Holy Spirit is still at work today. #changedhearts

As Paul prayed these words, He (the Lord Jesus Christ) is also establishing our hearts blameless in holiness before Him (God the Father)…may we no longer be lacking but full of faith, love and joy. -Teresa

I Thessalonians 3:6-13 (ESV)*

⁶ But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love and reported that you always remember us kindly and long to see us, as we long to see you— ⁷ for this reason, brothers,^[f] in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith. ⁸ For now we live, if you are standing fast in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God, ¹⁰ as we pray most earnestly night and day that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith?

¹¹ Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you,¹² and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you, ¹³ so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

Nothing speaks better than nature when thinking of the descriptive words in Paul’s passage below.

Who knew that to restore our peace was as simple as being in nature. #Godofpeace

When you learn something, you receive it and then practice it. #havingearstohear

Being at peace with others only happens when you are willing to hear that which is worthy of praise.

Continually thinking on these things brings about the environment necessary for growth.

Turning from darkness to light brings about growth. This is another lesson seen in nature. #photosynthesis

Don’t allow the anxieties of life keep you from thinking about things that are lovely and praiseworthy. -Teresa

Philippians 4:8-9 (ESV)*

⁸ Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. ⁹ What you have learned^[e] and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

We enjoyed this beautiful moon early on today. How can it reflect this much of the sun’s light?

The passage below states that honest work with our own hands brings about the ability to share with others in need. #stealnomore

When the Lord Jesus Christ breaks the chain of our sin nature, it may feel like a struggle. Then, the light of His life shines through us. Our faith must be securely in Christ alone.

When a father disciplines the child he loves, we are reminded it is for their good. Part of that spiritual discipline involves being “dead” to the things that once ruled us. That means we don’t react to them as before. We have a choice.

When our Lord broke the chain (of our family of origin- aka Adam), He also adopted us into a new family. Being part of His heavenly family means that God is also our father.

How does this look? It may be as practical as falling asleep at night remembering “I am united to Christ (not to bitter thinking).” Renewed minds can change our emotions: i. e. kindness, tender hearted, forgiving.

Futile thinking, on the other hand, is doing the same thing over and over with no power over the flesh. It leads to more of the same old thing: bitterness, wrath, anger, slander.

Remember that when Christ is your Savior, His love can change the inner climate of your heart.

How do we forgive others? …remembering how much we have been forgiven. -Teresa #reflectGod’s image #putofftheold #putonthenew

Ephesians 4:17-32 (ESV)*

The New Life

¹⁷ Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. ¹⁸ They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. ¹⁹ They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. ²⁰ But that is not the way you learned Christ!— ²¹ assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, ²² to put off your old self,^[f] which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, ²³ and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, ²⁴ and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

²⁵ Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. ²⁶ Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, ²⁷ and give no opportunity to the devil. ²⁸ Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. ²⁹ Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. ³⁰ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. ³¹ Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. ³² Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.Read full chapter

I was walking on these river rocks with my new barefoot shoes (which are supposed to help strengthen my foot muscles for balancing). Then, I realized the rocks were slick because the water was so low.

The slippery slope of religion is not always easy to navigate. Paul’s term for it is “a yoke of slavery”. We will lose our balance trying to navigate man-made rules or religious laws.

In this passage, Paul equates the practice of circumcision (plus all the laws of Judaism) to a yoke of bondage. This kept many of the new believers in Christ from experiencing righteousness through faith alone.

Is there something hindering you from walking by the Spirit or trusting Christ’s righteousness alone?

It may be the success of worldly wisdom, or the pride of following a code of ethics.

Whatever causes you to work hard so that others are proud of you or to do without so that you are proud of yourself may be the very thing holding you captive.

In the end, true freedom comes when we rest in the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ. He alone can set us free from self-condemnation or the need for religious man-made approval.

When Job said he came into the world naked and would return the same way, he reminds us not to trust our earthly status, reputation or wealth. We can, however, trust our Savior (aka Redeemer) who lives eternally. He alone has bought us with His blood. His life was offered up willingly to bring us all to glory.

Galatians 5:1-12English Standard Version

Christ Has Set Us Free

5 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

² Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. ³ I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. ⁴ You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified^[a] by the law; you have fallen away from grace. ⁵ For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. ⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.

⁷ You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? ⁸ This persuasion is not from him who calls you. ⁹ A little leaven leavens the whole lump. ¹⁰ I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view, and the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is. ¹¹ But if I, brothers,^[b] still preach^[c]circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed. ¹² I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves!Read full chapter

We only used 3 logs for this fire, but the wood was a type of hardwood (maybe a fruit tree of some kind).

When the darkness encroaches, it does not take a “bonfire” to keep it at bay. In fact, the Yosemite forest rangers prefer a low lying fire.

When Christ came, it was during a “kairos” moment of time (not chronos or chronological in meaning- notice our son’s watch in this picture). This means that it was just the right moment in time, for the thoughts and distance of the human heart to know God’s perspective.

This was prophesied by Isaiah. The “root of Jesse” foreshadowed the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, when Jesus gave the sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-6), he proposed a new way. Not the old covenant of law and order (so to speak), enforced by religious leaders. The old way had involved big buildings and mandatory offerings (in order to be accepted by God and community).

In the Psalm below, David (Jesse’s son), echoed this sentiment of needing a community to belong to. Although he was anointed as king of Israel, Saul as the “sitting” king, continued to pursue him. Would David succumb to fear or faith?

In The BibleHub.com description of Psalm 56 it is stated so well:

“1. Trust in God Over Fear
In Psalm 56, David reminds us that when fear grips our hearts, we should place our trust in God. “When I am afraid, I put my trust in You” (Psalm 56:3). This is a powerful lesson for our daily lives, encouraging us to lean on God’s strength rather than succumbing to anxiety. Trusting in God transforms our fear into faith, allowing us to face challenges with confidence.”

The world today seems to be in another moment of “time”, different than our ability to measure it chronologically. Perhaps the light that God has put in us should not be hid under a bushel.

The righteous branch that Jesus planted in our lives can be described in emotional terms: love, compassion, peace. All the fruit of the Spirit is reflected when our lives unite with the Savior through the vine.

If something or someone needs to change, Lord, help it be me.

When your community starts with God as your Heavenly Father, then you have nothing to fear. -Teresa #chooselife #trinity

³ And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
He shall not judge by what his eyes see,
    or decide disputes by what his ears hear,
⁴ but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
    and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
