Audio Reading of Notes:
The LORD is the source and sustainer of life, and life eternal known as salvation. I lay down in peace and wake in peace, knowing I am among God's people, the saved. Bless those of Salvation in the LORD, and you will be blessed. Curse these people of God, and be cursed.
Psalms 3:5,8 KJV I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me…Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
The LORD does not care if your physical father is Abraham. He cares if He is your spiritual Father. Such blunt language, conveyed to the hard-hearted, is not antisemitic; it's the truth!
Matthew 3:7,9 KJV …O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? …And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

The LORD is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Matthew 3:16,17 KJV …and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice (Father) from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
'Us' speaks to the plurality of God - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It also speaks to the eternal beings of the heavenly realm, both good and evil.
Genesis 3:22 KJV And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
The subtle beast questions God. The submissive child obeys.
Genesis 3:1 KJV …hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Shouts of joy and the sounds of weeping are signatures of those who are obediently invested in the Kingdom of God.
Ezra 3:13 KJV So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
Father, may our shouts of joy and noise of weeping be invested in You today. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
