God’s Heart

Oct10

Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His godly ones.
Psalms 116:15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.116.15.NASB1995

He will rescue (redeem) their life (soul) from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight;
Psalms 72:14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.72.14.NASB1995

I wonder . . . does God’s heart break at the death of a lost soul? For the one who rejects His offer of refuge? Of redemption?

As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the Lord is tried; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
Psalms 18:30 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.18.30.NASB1995

My shield is with God, Who saves the upright in heart. God is a righteous judge, And a God who has indignation every day. If a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready.
Psalms 7:10-12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.7.10-12.NASB1995


Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.
Psalms 62:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.62.8.NASB1995

🌹On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
Psalms 62:7 NASB1995

For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever. 
Psalms 16:10-11 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.16.10-11.NASB1995

Psalms 86:13 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.86.13.NASB1995

I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.

The cords of death encompassed me, And the torrents of ungodliness terrified me. The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.
Psalms 18:4-5 NASB1995

Then I called upon the name of the Lord: “O Lord, I beseech You, save my life (deliver my soul)!”

Guard my soul and deliver me; Do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You.

Judgment – Part 1

Jul15

But the Lord abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment,
Psalms 9:7 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.9.7.NASB1995

which He will bring about at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
1 Timothy 6:15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1ti.6.15.NASB1995

This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
John 3:19 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.3.19.NASB1995

Jesus is the only way through which someone is saved from judgment.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
John 5:24 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.5.24.NASB1995

The ONE & ONLY

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.

Mother Mary (Luke 1-2:22)

May10

And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord.”

And Mary said: “My soul exalts the Lord, And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave; For behold, from this time on all generations will count me blessed.
Luke 1:45-48 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.1.45-48.NASB1995

Mary. The Mother of Jesus. Just an ordinary girl chosen by God to fulfill God’s redemptive plan. She humbly took on this role of Mother to Jesus.

The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.”
Luke 1:30-33 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.1.30-33.NASB1995

Mary rejoiced at the birth of her son. She treasured the years she had raising Him.

‭And He (Jesus) went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.
Luke 2:51 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.2.51.NASB1995

Mary knew Jesus came for a purpose and faced the death of her firstborn son. Being a mother is hard work but . . .

🌹. . . we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

By One Man

Mar19

As Resurrection Sunday approaches, the Scriptures can prepare our heart as we reflect on what a tremendous impact this event has on all mankind.

For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.
1 Corinthians 15:21 NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.15.21.NASB1995

Sin entered the world in the Garden of Eden through the disobedience of one man. It continues to be a threat to mankind today.
‭‭
Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
James 1:15 NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.15.NASB1995

‭‭Sin brings about death. Eternal, forever dying death.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23 NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.6.23.NASB1995

But God. . . !!!

Jesus came as a man to earth. Through Him, this one man, comes eternal life for all who believe.

Do you believe?

30 Days of Thanks – D21

Nov21

Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His godly ones.
Psalms‬ ‭116:15‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.116.15.NASB1995

‭‭Why do you suppose God would consider the death of His godly ones as precious?

Does God not rejoice at the salvation of His children, His creation?

He will rescue (redeem) their life (soul) from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight;
Psalms‬ ‭72:14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.72.14.NASB1995

‭‭Even though we have received God’s redemption and our eternity from oppression and violence, we still face oppression and violence this side of heaven. But . . . One day when our mortal bodies are no more, we will receive full all God has promised to His own. How precious in the sight of God, is the death of His godly ones.

I’m saddened by those who die without Jesus. What a contrast when compared to the death of a godly saint who believed and trusted God. I am very thankful to God for the ability to rejoice at a believer’s celebration of life because they continue to live. Oh how precious.

Dedicated to Joyce and Noel.

30 Days of Thanks – D18

Nov18

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.
There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains, Because they had rebelled against the words of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High. Therefore He humbled their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was none to help. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart.
Psalms‬ ‭107:8‭-‬14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.107.8.NASB1995

Thank You, Lord, for satisfying my thirsty soul and filling my hungry soul with what is good!! Humble my soul, Lord. You have removed my chains and brought me out of darkness into Your glorious light! Thank You for saving me from the shadow of death. Glory to Your name! Thank You!!

Living or Dying?

Sep11

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants,
Deuteronomy 30:19 NASB

Life and blessing or death and curses. Does that seem to be an easy choice? If it were, why are so many choosing death and curses? Could it be self-centered pride? “I can do life myself.”

Let’s take a look at what life is:

by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
Deuteronomy 30:20 NASB

The promised land awaited the Israelites. The promised land awaits those today who humbly surrender to God’s eternal love, obedience to His Word, and holding fast to Him. This is life!

1. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
Deuteronomy 6:5 NASB
2. All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you obey the Lord your God:
Deuteronomy 28:2 NASB
3. You shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him and cling to Him, and you shall swear by His name.
Deuteronomy 10:20 NASB

🌹for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’
Acts 17:28 NASB

Are you living or dying?
