Mankind Versus God

Jul11

Mankind:
Surely I am more stupid than any man, And I do not have the understanding of a man. Neither have I learned wisdom, Nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.
Proverbs 30:2-3 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.30.2-3.NASB1995

Versus God:
Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son’s name? Surely you know!
Proverbs 30:4 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.30.4.NASB1995

Do you know?

Jesus says:
No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.
John 3:13 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.3.13.NASB1995

The Lord rules over everything.

Whatever the Lord pleases, He does, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps. He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who makes lightnings for the rain, Who brings forth the wind from His treasuries.
Psalms 135:6-7 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.135.6-7.NASB1995

For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited), “I am the Lord, and there is none else.
Isaiah 45:18 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.45.18.NASB1995

Do you know who God is? Do you KNOW Him?

🌹The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

I Will Still Praise Him

Jul10

Why are you in despair (sunk down),      O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me?
Hope (wait) in God, for I shall again (still) praise Him
For the help (saving acts) of His presence.
The help of my countenance and my God.
Psalms 42:5,11d NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.42.5.NASB1995

‭My God! My countenance! The peace seen on the face that says, “I will hope and wait in His presence, while I still praise Him!”
‭
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I have hope in Him.”
Lamentations 3:24 NASB1995‬

The ONE & ONLY

Jul9

See now that I, I am He, And there is no god besides Me; It is I who put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heal, And there is no one who can deliver from My hand.
Deuteronomy 32:39 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/deu.32.39.NASB1995

https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.43.10-11.NASB1995

Psalms 50:22-23 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.50.22-23.NASB1995

Hindering Unbelief

Jul8

And He (Jesus) did not do many miracles (works of power) there because of their unbelief.
Matthew 13:58 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.13.58.NASB1995

Do we hinder the work of God by our unbelief?
Do we believe He is able to do the impossible through us? In us? For us?

And Jesus said to him, “ ‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.”
Mark 9:23 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mrk.9.23.NASB1995

🌹Jesus *said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

Shout, Serve, Come, Know

Jul5

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.
Know that the Lord Himself (He) is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves (His we are); We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Psalms 100:1-3 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.100.1-3.NASB1995

Shout joyfully before God for your salvation!
Serve Him with gladness because of His many blessings!
Come into His presence with joyous thanksgiving singing praises to your glorious God.
Know the God you have been shown. God is real, believer, so know He is God and there is no other. He is your God and you are His sheep and like a shepherd He will tend His flock, and in His arm He will gather the lambs And carry them in His bosom; He will gently lead the nursing ewes. You are loved.
Psalm 95:1-2; Deuteronomy 4:35; Psalm 95:7a; Isaiah 40:11

Blessed Are Those Who Long

Jul4

just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,
Ephesians 1:4-5 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.1.4-5.NASB1995

‭Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him.
Isaiah 30:18 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.30.18.NASB1995

Believers are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to walk in good works. Jesus reconciled the believer in order to present us holy, blameless and beyond reproach. Jesus came to open the eyes of the blind and the ears of the deaf – those lost in darkness and deaf to God’s word. God will guide our feet in the way of peace. The Lord longs to be gracious to you.
Ephesians 2:10; Colossians 1:22; Isaiah 32:3, 30:21; Luke 1:79
‭
🌹O Lord, be gracious to us; we have waited for You. Be their (our) strength every morning, Our salvation also in the time of distress.

The Veil

Jul3

but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
2 Corinthians 3:16 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.3.16.NASB1995

The veil that separates man and God.
The temple had a veil that separated the Holy place from the Holy of Holies.  Once a year the High Priest would meet with God in the Holy of Holies with a blood sacrifice for himself and for the sins of the people. Hebrews 9:6-7

When Jesus died on the cross, He being the final sacrifice – the sacrifice of the Holy of Holies for all – the veil of separation was torn from top to bottom. Access to the Holy of Holies was open to all who desired access.

Individuals still walk with the veil of separation. Separation from the Holy of Holies, God. Through Jesus the veil is removed. Jesus was the final sacrifice that removed the veil.

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
2 Corinthians 4:3 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.4.3.NASB1995

but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
2 Corinthians 3:16 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.3.16.NASB1995

Are you ready to have your veil removed?

🌹But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18 NASB1995‬

My Own Know Me

Jul2

Good and upright is the Lord; Therefore He instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in justice, And He teaches the humble His way. All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and truth To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.
Psalms 25:8-10 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.25.8-10.NASB1995

Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness.”
2 Timothy 2:19 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2ti.2.19.NASB1995

The saddest, most devastating words a person who believes they are saved could hear are, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.”

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’
Matthew 7:21-23 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.7.21-23.NASB1995

For Your name’s sake, O Lord, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
Psalms 25:11 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.25.11.NASB1995

Do you know, that you know, that you know Jesus personally?

🌹I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,

Secure Refuge

Jul1

The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble, And He knows those who take refuge in Him.
Nahum 1:7 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/nam.1.7.NASB1995

But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in time of trouble.
Psalms 37:39 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.37.39.NASB1995

God approves, has regard for, the way of the righteous. The righteous know where their salvation and refuge comes from. Are you one who takes refuge in the Lord, trusting in His strength, secure in His stronghold?

🌹For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.
Psalms 1:6 NASB1995‬
