What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life— and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us— what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.

Dwell on What is Lovely

Nov6

Finally, brethren, whatever is lovely, . . . Dwell on these things.
Philippians 4:8e NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.4.8.NASB1995

How lovely on the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace And brings good news of happiness, Who announces salvation, And says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
Isaiah 52:7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.52.7.NASB1995

Lovely are the words of salvation spoken from the mouth of God’s believers.

How lovely are Your dwelling places, O Lord of hosts!
Psalms 84:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.84.1.NASB1995

How lovely the new heaven and new earth¹ will be where the holy city, new Jerusalem is, having come down out of heaven from God.² We will behold the tabernacle of God and He will dwell among us, and we shall be His people, God Himself among us.³ There will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain for they have all passed away.⁴
Revelation 21:1-4 NASB1995 https://bible.com/bible/100/rev.21.1-4.NASB1995

A Hopeful Faith

Oct9

Now faith is the assurance (substance) of things hoped for (expected), the conviction (evidence) of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.11.1.NASB1995

As believers in Jesus Christ, through His gift of salvation, we become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end. Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.
In hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? So let us with perseverance wait eagerly as we hope for what we do not see. Let’s look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Hebrews 3:14/Hebrews 3:6/Romans 8:24/Romans 8:25/2 Corinthians 4:18 NASB1995

🌹For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Sow & Reap

Jun20

Jesus *said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.
John 4:34 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.4.34.NASB1995

Jesus, in obedience to the Father, came to accomplish the work the Father sent Him to do. We, as followers of Christ, in obedience, follow in His footsteps.

‭And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:18-20 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.28.18-20.NASB1995

We, believers, have all been called to share the gospel. We are all to sow at every opportunity. Sowing must take place for there to be a harvest. The one who sows may not be the same one who reaps a particular soul.

For in this case the saying is true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’
I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.”
John 4:37-38 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.4.37-38.NASB1995

Our sowing will not be in vain. One glorious day the planters and the harvesters will rejoice together!

Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
John 4:36 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.4.36.NASB1995

🌹Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.

Persecuted for Christ

Jun10

He (Jesus) opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying
‭“Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:1, 10 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.5.1-10.NASB1995

But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled,
Peter 3:14 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.3.14.NASB1995

[19] For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly.
[20] For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.
[21] For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps,
[22] who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth;
[23] and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; [24] and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.
1 Peter 2:19-24 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.2.19-24.NASB1995

Did you notice in verse 23, ‘Jesus entrusted Himself to the Father’?
Even while suffering he uttered no threats! What an example, of bearing up under persecution, Jesus is for us, and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously.

but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.
Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right.
1 Peter 4:16, 19 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.4.16-19.NASB1995

‭we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.
For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,
while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:8-10, 16-18 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.4.8-18.NASB1995

The things not seen are eternal. The kingdom awaits the persecuted for the sake of Christ.

The Everlasting God

Apr25

Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, Or as His counselor has informed Him?
With whom did He consult and who gave Him understanding? And who taught Him in the path of justice and taught Him knowledge And informed Him of the way of understanding?
Isaiah‬ ‭40:13‭-‬14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.40.13-14.NASB1995

Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. He it is who reduces rulers to nothing, Who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.
Isaiah 40:21-23 NASB1995‬

To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare with Him?
Isaiah 40:18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.40.18.NASB1995

“To whom then will you liken Me That I would be his equal?” says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high And see who has created these stars, The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, Not one of them is missing.
Isaiah 40:25-26 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.40.25-26.NASB1995

Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding,
Job 38:4 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.38.4.NASB1995

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable.
Isaiah 40:28 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.40.28.NASB1995
