SHARING BIBLE VERSES

[summer007]

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill made low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken. Isaiah 40:4-5.

[summer007]

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come saith the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiners fire, and like a fullers soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in rightousness. Malachi 3:1-3.

[vernecarty]

O.K. now you have done it Summer!
I am off to listen to Handel's Messiah.

Have you heard of the 'Young Messiah'? a very soulful version...At least you did'nt wake-up this morning singing 'Drummer Boy' said the king to the people everywhere do you know what I know, a child, a child shivers in the cold we must bring him silver and gold, we must bring him silver and gold.  Have Fun...Summer. p.s.

Title: Praise to God
Passage: Hebrews 13:15
Let us always offer to God our sacrifice of praise.

You are a great God

Your character is holy
Your truth is absolute
Your strength is unending
Your discipline is fair....
Your provisions are abundant for our needs
Your light is adequate for our path
Your grace is sufficient for our sins....
Your are never early, never late....
You sent your Son in fullness of time and will return at the
            consummation of time.
Your plan is perfect
Bewildering, Puzzling, Troubling
But perfect.

Devotional from Grace for the Moment

TITLE: THE VOICE OF ADVENTURE

Passage: Psalm 27:1

Jesus says the options are clear.
On One side there is the voice of safety.
You can build a fire in the hearth, stay inside, and stay warm and dry for what you dont try, right? You cant fall if you dont take a stand, right? You cant lose your balance if you never climb, right. So dont try it. Take the safe route.
Or you can bear the voice of adventure
God's adventure.
Instead of building a fire in your hearth,
build a fire in your heart.
Follow God's impulses, Adopt a child. Move overseas. Teach the class. CHange careers. Run for office. Make a difference.
Sure it isnt safe, but what is?

    The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who
    hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
    Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant
    also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.

    John 12:25-26

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my
    mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and
    wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full
    well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in
    the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of
    the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days
    ordained for me were written in your book before one of them
    came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How
    vast is the sum of them!

    Psalm 139:13-17

[Joe Sperling]

" Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Phil 4: 6,7)

[summer007]

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. Psalm 90:1-2.

[summer007]

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11:12

[summer007]

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that upon him was called Faithful and True, and in rightousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. Revelation 19:11-13

[lenore]

    I went past the field of the sluggard, past the vineyard of
    the man who lacks judgment; thorns had come up everywhere,
    the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in
    ruins. I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a
    lesson from what I saw: A little sleep, a little slumber, a
    little folding of the hands to rest--and poverty will come
    on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.

    Proverbs 24:30-34


    I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one
    will take your crown. Him who overcomes I will make a pillar
    in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I
    will write on him the name of my God and the name of the
    city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out
    of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new
    name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says
    to the churches.

    Revelation 3:11-13


   
    Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day
    of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and
    after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then,
    with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the
    breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet
    fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of
    peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith,
    with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the
    evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the
    Spirit, which is the word of God.

    Ephesians 6:13-17

[Joe Sperling]

"He has showed you oh man what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God"
(Micah 6:8 NIV)

[summer007]

And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. Rev 21:19a. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was of pure gold, as it were transparent glass. Rev 21: 21.

[summer007]

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised  to them that love him? James 2:5
