God Our Father - Faithful, Merciful and True

Deuteronomy 4:31 NIV

________________

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Numbers 23:19 KJV

________________

It is a trustworthy statement: For if we died with Him, we will also live with Him; If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us; If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

2 Timothy 2:11-13 NASB

God, Whose grace is all sufficient, be glorified!

Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God

Weekly Meditation 7/8 - 7/14 The Majesty of the Lord ESV

The Majesty of the Lord

Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.

Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and cry to her
that her warfare is ended,
that her iniquity is pardoned,
that she has received from the LORD's hand
double for all her sins.
A voice cries:
"In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD;
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Every valley shall be lifted up,
and every mountain and hill be made low;
the uneven ground shall become level,
and the rough places a plain.

And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
and all flesh shall see it together,
for the mouth of the LORD has spoken."

Isaiah 40:1-5 ESV

[mountainlion20032003]

"And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;" 2 Corinthians 5:18

[mountainlion20032003]

Walking in the light - counting the cost

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Matthew 5:11,12 KJV

________________

"Hear me, you who know what is right,
you people who have my law in your hearts:
Do not fear the reproach of men or
be terrified by their insults.

For the moth will eat them up like a garment;
the worm will devour them like wool.
But my righteousness will last forever,
my salvation through all generations."

Isaiah 51:7,8 NIV

________________

Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light.
And your judgment as the noonday.

Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.

Psalm 37:5-7 NASB

________________

God, Whose grace is all sufficient, be glorified!

Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God
is the object of our faith; the only faith that
saves is faith in Him.

Weekly Meditation 7/8 - 7/14 The Majesty of the Lord MSG

The Majesty of the Lord

"Comfort, oh comfort my people,"
says your God.
"Speak softly and tenderly to Jerusalem,
but also make it very clear
That she has served her sentence,
that her sin is taken care offorgiven!
She's been punished enough and more than enough,
and now it's over and done with."

Thunder in the desert!
"Prepare for God's arrival!
Make the road straight and smooth,
a highway fit for our God.
Fill in the valleys,
level off the hills,
Smooth out the ruts,
clear out the rocks.
Then God's bright glory will shine
and everyone will see it.
Yes. Just as God has said."

Isaiah 40:1-5 The Message

[mountainlion20032003]

"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;" St. John 14:16

[mountainlion20032003]

Who is Like HIM? Faithful and True!

Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, surely I will do it.

Listen to Me, you stubborn-minded, Who are far from righteousness. I bring near My righteousness, it is not far off; And My salvation will not delay.

Isaiah 46:11b-13a NASB

________________

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas and Timothy, was not "Yes" and "No," but in him it has always been "Yes." For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ.

2 Corinthians 1:19-21 NIV

________________

Consider how I love thy precepts:
quicken me, O LORD,
according to thy lovingkindness.

Thy word is true from the beginning:
and every one of thy righteous judgments
endureth for ever.

Psalm 119:159,160 KJV

________________

God, Whose grace is all sufficient, be glorified!

Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God
is the object of our faith; the only faith that
saves is faith in Him.

Weekly Meditation 7/8 - 7/14 The Majesty of the Lord NLT

The Majesty of the Lord

"Comfort, comfort my people," says your God.

"Speak tenderly to Jerusalem.
Tell her that her sad days are gone and
that her sins are pardoned.
Yes, the LORD has punished her
in full for all her sins."

Listen! I hear the voice of someone shouting,
"Make a highway for the LORD through the wilderness.
Make a straight, smooth road through the desert
for our God.

Fill the valleys and level the hills. Straighten out
the curves and smooth off the rough spots.

Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed,
and all people will see it together.
The LORD has spoken!"

Isaiah 40:1-5 NLT

[mountainlion20032003]

"... O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong." Daniel 10:19

[mountainlion20032003]

Faithful is He Who called you!

The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those
who seek you.

Psalm 9:9,10 NIV

________________

Nevertheless my lovingkindness
will I not utterly take from him,
nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
My covenant will I not break,
nor alter the thing that is
gone out of my lips.

Psalm 89:33,34 KJV

________________

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.

Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

2 Peter 3:9-12 NASB

________________

God, Whose grace is all sufficient, be glorified!

Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God
is the object of our faith; the only faith that
saves is faith in Him.

Weekly Meditation 7/15 - 7/21 I Repent KJV

"I Repent"

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

I know that thou canst do every thing,
and that no thought can be withholden from thee.

Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge?
therefore have I uttered that I understood not;
things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak:
I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear:
but now mine eye seeth thee.

Wherefore I abhor myself,
and repent in dust and ashes.

Job 42:1-6 KJV

[mountainlion20032003]

"Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness" Ecclesiastes 2:13
