Linger Pamela Nelson

Welcome to the Linger podcast. Today we will be reading from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lamentations 3:19-33 The Message Paraphrase.

We are going to be lingering in the presence of God. He invites us to sit with Him, to be still, to cease striving and know that He is God. To linger means to abide, to remain, to stay for a length of time, to become affected by the presence of where we are staying.

We will linger in scripture, in prayer, in breathing in and out the Word of God as we listen to Him, as we wait and listen for Holy Spirit to speak to us, and then pray what He is leading us to pray.

Lamentations 3:19-33 The Message Paraphrase⁠

It’s a Good Thing to Hope for Help from God

19-21 I’ll never forget the trouble, the utter lostness,    the taste of ashes, the poison I’ve swallowed.I remember it all—oh, how well I remember—    the feeling of hitting the bottom.But there’s one other thing I remember,    and remembering, I keep a grip on hope:

22-24 God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out,    his merciful love couldn’t have dried up.They’re created new every morning.    How great your faithfulness!I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over).    He’s all I’ve got left.

25-27 God proves to be good to the man who passionately waits,    to the woman who diligently seeks.It’s a good thing to quietly hope,    quietly hope for help from God.It’s a good thing when you’re young    to stick it out through the hard times.

28-30 When life is heavy and hard to take,    go off by yourself. Enter the silence.Bow in prayer. Don’t ask questions:    Wait for hope to appear.Don’t run from trouble. Take it full-face.    The “worst” is never the worst.

31-33 Why? Because the Master won’t ever    walk out and fail to return.If he works severely, he also works tenderly.    His stockpiles of loyal love are immense.

⁠1 John 3:16-24 MSG

16-17 This is how we’ve come to understand and experience love: Christ sacrificed his life for us. This is why we ought to live sacrificially for our fellow believers, and not just be out for ourselves. If you see some brother or sister in need and have the means to do something about it but turn a cold shoulder and do nothing, what happens to God’s love? It disappears. And you made it disappear.

18-20 My dear children, let’s not just talk about love; let’s practice real love. This is the only way we’ll know we’re living truly, living in God’s reality. It’s also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism, even when there is something to it. For God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves.

21-24 And friends, once that’s taken care of and we’re no longer accusing or condemning ourselves, we’re bold and free before God! We’re able to stretch our hands out and receive what we asked for because we’re doing what he said, doing what pleases him. Again, this is God’s command: to believe in his personally named Son, Jesus Christ. He told us to love each other, in line with the original command. As we keep his commands, we live deeply and surely in him, and he lives in us. And this is how we experience his deep and abiding presence in us: by the Spirit he gave us.

Breath Prayer from today's passage:

(Taking slow breath in and releasing slow breath out.)

Breathe in and say: "For God is greater,"

Breathe out: "than my worried heart."

Psalm 27 NLT

Psalm 27

A psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—    so why should I be afraid?The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,    so why should I tremble?2 When evil people come to devour me,    when my enemies and foes attack me,    they will stumble and fall.3 Though a mighty army surrounds me,    my heart will not be afraid.Even if I am attacked,    I will remain confident.

4 The one thing I ask of the Lord—    the thing I seek most—is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,    delighting in the Lord’s perfections    and meditating in his Temple.5 For he will conceal me there when troubles come;    he will hide me in his sanctuary.    He will place me out of reach on a high rock.6 Then I will hold my head high    above my enemies who surround me.At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy,    singing and praising the Lord with music.

7 Hear me as I pray, O Lord.    Be merciful and answer me!8 My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.”    And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.”9 Do not turn your back on me.    Do not reject your servant in anger.    You have always been my helper.Don’t leave me now; don’t abandon me,    O God of my salvation!10 Even if my father and mother abandon me,    the Lord will hold me close.

11 Teach me how to live, O Lord.    Lead me along the right path,    for my enemies are waiting for me.12 Do not let me fall into their hands.    For they accuse me of things I’ve never done;    with every breath they threaten me with violence.13 Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness    while I am here in the land of the living.

14 Wait patiently for the Lord.    Be brave and courageous.    Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.

Luke 8:4-15 The Message

The Story of the Seeds

4-8 As they went from town to town, a lot of people joined in and traveled along. He addressed them, using this story: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. Some of it fell on the road; it was tramped down and the birds ate it. Other seed fell in the gravel; it sprouted, but withered because it didn’t have good roots. Other seed fell in the weeds; the weeds grew with it and strangled it. Other seed fell in rich earth and produced a bumper crop.

“Are you listening to this? Really listening?”

9 His disciples asked, “Why did you tell this story?”

10 He said, “You’ve been given insight into God’s kingdom—you know how it works. There are others who need stories. But even with stories some of them aren’t going to get it:

Their eyes are open but don’t see a thing,Their ears are open but don’t hear a thing.

11-12 “This story is about some of those people. The seed is the Word of God. The seeds on the road are those who hear the Word, but no sooner do they hear it than the Devil snatches it from them so they won’t believe and be saved.

13 “The seeds in the gravel are those who hear with enthusiasm, but the enthusiasm doesn’t go very deep. It’s only another fad, and the moment there’s trouble it’s gone.

14 “And the seed that fell in the weeds—well, these are the ones who hear, but then the seed is crowded out and nothing comes of it as they go about their lives worrying about tomorrow, making money, and having fun.

15 “But the seed in the good earth—these are the good-hearts who seize the Word and hold on no matter what, sticking with it until there’s a harvest.

Ephesians 1:3-14 MSG

3-6 How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.

7-10 Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we’re a free people—free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free! He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth.

11-12 It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.

13-14 It’s in Christ that you, once you heard the truth and believed it (this Message of your salvation), found yourselves home free—signed, sealed, and delivered by the Holy Spirit. This down payment from God is the first installment on what’s coming, a reminder that we’ll get everything God has planned for us, a praising and glorious life.

Psalm 34:4-14 The Voice

4 When I needed the Lord, I looked for Him;    I called out to Him, and He heard me and responded.He came and rescued me from everything that made me so afraid.5 Look to Him and shine,    so shame will never contort your faces.6 This poor soul cried, and the Eternal heard me.    He rescued me from my troubles.7 The messenger of the Eternal God surrounds    everyone who walks with Him and is always there to protect and rescue us.8 Taste of His goodness; see how wonderful the Eternal truly is.    Anyone who puts trust in Him will be blessed and comforted.9 Revere the Eternal, you His saints,    for those who worship Him will possess everything important in life.10 Young lions may grow tired and hungry,    but those intent on knowing the Eternal God will have everything they need.

11 Gather around, children, listen to what I’m saying;    I will teach you how to revere the Eternal.12 If you love life    and want to live a good, long time,13 Take care with the things you say.    Don’t lie or spread gossip or talk about improper things.14 Walk away from the evil things of the world,    and always seek peace and pursue it.
