I had a dream that the guy I was going out with was waiting for me to be ready, I know this guy Garrick, he was handsome, but I didn't appreciate his beauty because at that time of our meeting, someone else was in my heart, but today looking back, I realized how handsome he was and as I slept last night I see him in my dreams in our old house in Jones Avenue and I was getting ready to go out with him as he was also in our old house, staying in my parents room as if we were married, but we were not.

Genesis 14:21-15:6
English Standard Version
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the persons, but take the goods for yourself.” 22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted my hand[a] to the Lord, God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that I would not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’ 24 I will take nothing but what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me. Let Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share.”

Habakkuk 3
English Standard Version
Habakkuk's Prayer
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.
2 O Lord, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O Lord, do I fear.
In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known;
in wrath remember mercy.
3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah
His splendor covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
4 His brightness was like the light; rays flashed from his hand;
and there he veiled his power.
5 Before him went pestilence, and plague followed at his heels.[a]
16 I hear, and my body trembles; my lips quiver at the sound;
rottenness enters into my bones; my legs tremble beneath me.
Yet I will quietly wait for the day of trouble to come upon people who invade us.
Habakkuk Rejoices in the Lord
17 Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
19 God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer's;
he makes me tread on my high places.
To the choirmaster: with stringed[d] instruments.
Zephaniah 1

1 The word of the Lord that came to Zephaniah the son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
The Coming Judgment on Judah
2 “I will utterly sweep away everything from the face of the earth,” declares the Lord.
3 “I will sweep away man and beast; I will sweep away the birds of the heavens
and the fish of the sea, and the rubble[a] with the wicked.
I will cut off mankind from the face of the earth,” declares the Lord.
4 “I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
and I will cut off from this place the remnant of Baal and the name of the idolatrous priests along with the priests,

God's Covenant with Abram
1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.” 2 But Abram said, “O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue[b] childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3 And Abram said, “Behold, you have given me no offspring, and a member of my household will be my heir.” 4 And behold, the word of the Lord came to him: “This man shall not be your heir; your very own son[c] shall be your heir.” 5 And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” 6 And he believed the Lord, and he counted it to him as righteousness.

Judgment on Judah's Enemies
1 Gather together, yes, gather, O shameless nation,
2 before the decree takes effect[a] —before the day passes away like chaff—
before there comes upon you the burning anger of the Lord, before there comes upon you
the day of the anger of the Lord.
3 Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the Lord.
4 For Gaza shall be deserted, and Ashkelon shall become a desolation; Ashdod's people shall be driven out at noon, and Ekron shall be uprooted.

Lamentations 3;30-5; Hebrews 1; Psalm 119:129-136
Hebrews 1
English Standard Version
The Supremacy of God's Son
1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
“You are my Son, today I have begotten you”?
Or again,
“I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”?
6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,
“Let all God's angels worship him.”
7 Of the angels he says,
“He makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”
10 And,
“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment,
12 like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed.[a]
But you are the same, and your years will have no end.”
13 And to which of the angels has he ever said,
“Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

129 Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them.
130 The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.
131 I open my mouth and pant, because I long for your commandments.
132 Turn to me and be gracious to me, as is your way with those who love your name.
133 Keep steady my steps according to your promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me.
134 Redeem me from man's oppression, that I may keep your precepts.
135 Make your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your statutes.
136 My eyes shed streams of tears, because people do not keep your law.

Observation
I read this Promise in Genesis since yesterday and twice again this morning that GOD has granted favor to Abraham, so that HE promised great rewards for Abraham as GOD assured him not to be afraid. I receive this promise today, as if I have also done something lately that Abraham did. He rescued Lot and his family from the hands of evil men and Lot did not do anything for Abraham to please him but GOD rescued Lot his niece because Abraham was a righteous man. And GOD promised him a son and offspring so many as the stars that HE made Abraham imagine this by looking up at the skies to see the stars. But this promise will not take place as soon as Abraham wanted or anticipated, they had to wait and so the book of Habakkuk is a great encouragement especially in the last verses, that even though the appointed time has not come yet, we can choose to rejoice over what we already have because GOD is the TRUTH and HE will never lie.
Application
I will hold on to the Promises of GOD just as Abraham did. I will cling to HIS WORD for dear life, because it is where my hope lies, my promise of hope is in GOD, I will hope in HIM. I will love HIM with all my heart because no body loves me like HIM. I will keep believing GOD and I will rejoice even if the Promise has not come to pass yet because that Promise will happen for me at the appointed time and I want to be able to wait and prepare myself so that I do not lose this promise or take it for granted when it is already in my hands. I will keep looking to GOD who will grant me my inheritance and very great reward. I will keep looking to GOD and I will rejoice in the GOD of my salvation because HIS promises never fail because HE never fails and HE will exceed my expectations! My attitude is to: Believe the LORD who promised me. Wait on the LORD with Joy and expectations.
Prayers

O HOLY ONE of Israel! GREAT are YOU O LORD, how awesome how marvelous how amazing!!! YOU are the KING of the Universe YESHUA and there is no ONE like YOU! O GOD Almighty, HOLY is YOUR NAME!!!

Please I pray for all my dogs to be caught up in the clouds with me, and all that is precious to me, will be caught up in the heavens to meet YOU. O GOD I have dreamt of Garrick Yu and I don't know why he was on my mind, after Stephen is already out of it. I thank YOU for setting me free from lies, but I pray that YOU will replace all my pain and waiting with joy and blessings. O GOD, do not forget me, and I thank YOU for giving me YOUR WORD today twice since yesterday in Genesis 15:1 For YOU are my shield O GOD and YOU have promised me great rewards!

I pray for YOUR grace O GOD fall on us, carry us and YOUR glory and light shine through us. O GOD, I pray healing for Noli and forgive me for hurting him in the past because he insists that he wanted to love me. Forgive me for making him feel rejected and used. And I pray that whatever YOU have done for Noli, YOU will do for me with my own family because I am tired of being unappreciated. I pray to belong to a bigger and greater group of family who will make me feel loved, I pray for the man YOU have chosen to my husband to be searching for me today let him find me O GOD, let him find me. I pray let him search and find me in JESUS NAME! And may we rejoice at the gift of love YOU are giving us, may we glorify YOU with our lives and testimony and bring many into YOUR Kingdom. I pray O GOD, heal us and make us whole so that we are able to raise and build our family. For YOURS is the glory, the honor, the power and all the praises belong to YOU Our GOD who loves us and takes care of us. To YOU alone!
In the NAME of YESHUA I pray and hope to, AMEN!
