Bible Verses For The Day..............

[mountainlion20032003]

Build one another up!

Let all things be done unto edifying -
build one another up!

If anyone thinks himself to be religious,
and yet does not bridle his tongue but
deceives his own heart, this man's
religion is worthless.

James 1:26 NASB

__________________

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Ephesians 4:29-32 NIV

__________________

There is one who speaks rashly
like the thrusts of a sword,

But the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Truthful lips will be established forever,
But a lying tongue is only for a moment.

Proverbs 12:18,19 NASB

The Lord is our Strength and our shield...

for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

And you will be called the repairer of the breach,
The restorer of the streets in which to dwell."

Meditation 3/02 - 3/08 The Law Fulfilled NASB

Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.

For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:17-20 NASB

[mountainlion20032003]

[mountainlion20032003]

"... The Lord be with you. And they answered him, The Lord bless thee." Ruth 2:4

[mountainlion20032003]

Learn & Teach Obedience

As children of God we should learn obedience...
As parents of children, we should teach it.
During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him

Hebrews 5:7-9 NIV

__________________

"If his sons forsake My law
And do not walk in My judgments,

If they violate My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,

Then I will punish their transgression with the rod
And their iniquity with stripes.

But I will not break off My lovingkindness from him,
Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.

My covenant I will not violate,
Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.

Psalm 89:30-34 NASB

A wise son maketh a glad father: but
a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but
righteousness delivereth from death.

Meditation 3/02 - 3/08 The Law Fulfilled ESV

Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:17-20 ESV

[mountainlion20032003]

"And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." Romans 5:3

[mountainlion20032003]

[mountainlion20032003]

Trust HIM Always.

Trust God, even when you feel weak and powerless...
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

2 Corinthians 12:8-10 NIV

__________________

"For affliction does not come from the dust,
Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,

For man is born for trouble,
As sparks fly upward.

But as for me, I would seek God,
And I would place my cause before God;

Who does great and unsearchable things,
Wonders without number.

He gives rain on the earth
And sends water on the fields,

So that He sets on high those who are lowly,
And those who mourn are lifted to safety.

Job 5:6-11 NASB

__________________

Give ear to my words, O LORD,
consider my meditation.

Hearken unto the voice of my cry,
my King, and my God:
for unto thee will I pray.

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD;
in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee,
and will look up.

Psalm 5:1-3 KJV

Meditation 3/02 - 3/08 The Law Fulfilled MSG

Don't suppose for a minute that I have come to demolish the Scriptures--either God's Law or the Prophets. I'm not here to demolish but to complete. I am going to put it all together, pull it all together in a vast panorama.

God's Law is more real and lasting than the stars in the sky and the ground at your feet. Long after stars burn out and earth wears out, God's Law will be alive and working.

Trivialize even the smallest item in God's Law and you will only have trivialized yourself. But take it seriously, show the way for others, and you will find honor in the kingdom.

Unless you do far better than the Pharisees in the matters of right living, you won't know the first thing about entering the kingdom.

Matthew 5:17-20 MSG

[mountainlion20032003]

"With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding." Job 12:13
