Even Lions Go Hungry For Lack Of Food, But Those Who Obey The LORD Lack Nothing Good. (Psalm 34:10)
Hello Happy Believer’s.🤗
(#84)) A Longer Video will be available next Tuesday. Combining Art & Scripture. 🎨 🙏
Discovering our Catholic Faith through Art and Scripture. From My AHB Watercolour Collection. I began painting in watercolour in 2019. I am a self-taught Artist. I found that paintings have a language all of their own and the bible has a power all of its own. So, I have decided to combine the two. Both with a healing potential for everybody on their own personal Catholic Faith Journey. My goal is to upload a new painting every week along with scripture audio. Always with the intention to point to Jesus. Thank you for watching my Video 👦🏼👧🏼
Please LIKE – SUBSCRIBE – and SHARE so we can all live our Wonderful Catholic Faith Together in all its Richness. Thank you 🤗
PSALM 78:1-38
Listen, O my people, to my teaching; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth [and be willing to learn].
I will open my mouth in a parable [to instruct using examples]; I will utter dark and puzzling sayings of old [that contain important truth]–
Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.
We will not hide them from their children, But [we will] tell to the generation to come the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD,
And [tell of] His great might and power and the wonderful works that He has done.
For He established a testimony (a specific precept) in Jacob And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers That they should teach to their children [the great facts of God’s transactions with Israel], That the generation to come might know them, that the children still to be born May arise and recount them to their children,
That they should place their confidence in God And not forget the works of God,
But keep His commandments, And not be like their fathers– A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not prepare its heart to know and follow God, And whose spirit was not faithful to God.
The sons of Ephraim were armed as archers and carrying bows, Yet they turned back in the day of battle.
They did not keep the covenant of God And refused to walk according to His law;
And they forgot His [incredible] works And His miraculous wonders that He had shown them.
He did marvellous things in the sight of their fathers In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan [ Pharaoh resided].
He divided the [Red] Sea and allowed them to pass through it, And He made the waters stand up like [water behind] a dam.
In the daytime He led them with a cloud And all the night with a light of fire.
He split rocks in the wilderness And gave them abundant [water to] drink like the ocean depths.
He brought streams also from the rock [at Rephidim & Kadesh] And caused waters to run down like rivers.
Yet they still continued to sin against Him By rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
And in their hearts they put God to the test By asking for food according to their [selfish] appetite.
Then they spoke against God; They said, “Can God prepare [food for] a table in the wilderness?
“Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out And the streams overflowed; Can He give bread also?
Or will He provide meat for His people?” Therefore, when the LORD heard, He was full of wrath; A fire was kindled against Jacob, And His anger mounted up against Israel,
Because they did not believe in God [they did not rely on Him, they did not adhere to Him] And they did not trust in His salvation (His power to save).
Yet He commanded the clouds from above And opened the doors of heaven;
And He rained down manna upon them to eat And gave them the grain of heaven.
Man ate the bread of angels; God sent them provision in abundance.
He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens And by His [unlimited] power He guided the south wind.
He rained meat upon them like the dust, And winged birds (quail) like the sand of the seas.
And He let them fall in the midst of their camp, Around their tents.
So they ate and were well filled, He gave them what they craved.
Before they had satisfied their desire, And while their food was in their mouths,
The wrath of God rose against them And killed some of the strongest of them,
And subdued the choice young men of Israel.
In spite of all this they still sinned, For they did not believe in His wonderful and extraordinary works.
Therefore He consumed their days like a breath [in emptiness and futility] And their years in sudden terror.
When He killed [some of] them, then those remaining sought Him, And they returned [to Him] and searched diligently for God [for a time].
And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their Redeemer.
Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouths And lied to Him with their tongues.
For their heart was not steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful to His covenant.
But He, the source of compassion and lovingkindness, forgave their wickedness …
