LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.

Meditation 5/11 - 5/17 This is life eternal MSG

Jesus said these things.
Then, raising his eyes in prayer, he said:

Father, it's time.

Display the bright splendor of your Son
So the Son in turn may show your bright splendor.

You put him in charge of everything human
So he might give real and eternal life
to all in his charge.

And this is the real and eternal life:
That they know you,
The one and only true God,
And Jesus Christ, whom you sent.

I glorified you on earth
By completing down to the last detail
What you assigned me to do.

And now, Father, glorify me with
your very own splendor,
The very splendor I had in your presence
Before there was a world.

John 17:1-5 MSG

[mountainlion20032003]

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

[mountainlion20032003]

Concerning Self Denial

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

Matthew 16:24-26 NIV

___________________

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Titus 2:11-13 KJV

___________________

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

Galatians 5:24,25 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.

Meditation 5/11 - 5/17 This is life eternal NLT

When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you. For you have given him authority over everyone in all the earth. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him.

And this is the way to have eternal life - to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth. I brought glory to you here on earth by doing everything you told me to do.

And now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began.

John 17:1-5 NLT

[mountainlion20032003]

"And join them one to another into one stick: and they shall become one in thine hand."

[mountainlion20032003]

[mountainlion20032003]

He Created All Things

He Created All Things
for the good pleasure of His will

-------------

"You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being."

Revelation 4:11 NIV

-------------

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

1 John 5:14,15 KJV

-------------

Come now, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.'

Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

Instead, you ought to say, 'If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.'

James 4:13-15 NASB

-------------

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.

Matthew 6:10

Let this be our daily heart's desire...

-------------

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.

Meditation 5/11 - 5/17 This is life eternal CEV

After Jesus had finished speaking to his disciples, he looked up toward heaven and prayed:

Father, the time has come for you to bring glory to your Son, in order that he may bring glory to you. And you gave him power over all people, so that he would give eternal life to everyone you give him.

Eternal life is to know you, the only true God, and to know Jesus Christ, the one you sent. I have brought glory to you here on earth by doing everything you gave me to do.

Now, Father, give me back the glory that I had with you before the world was created.

John 17:1-5 CEV

[mountainlion20032003]

[mountainlion20032003]

"I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
