Who is Wise?

Nov14

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary and gathered from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
<><><><><><><><><><>
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.
<><><><><><><><><><>
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.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
<><><><><><><><><><>
Fools, because of their rebellious way, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted. . . . they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
<><><><><><><><><><>
Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!

But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction, And makes his families like a flock. The upright see it and are glad; But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.

🌹Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things, And consider the lovingkindnesses of the Lord.

Ephesians 2:8-9 NASB1995

Romans 3:23-24 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.3.23-24.NASB1995

Highway of Holiness

Oct30

A highway will be there, a roadway, And it will be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it, But it will be for him who walks that way, And fools will not wander on it.
No lion will be there, Nor will any vicious beast go up on it; These will not be found there. But the redeemed will walk there,
And the ransomed of the Lord will return And come with joyful shouting to Zion, With everlasting joy upon their heads. They will find gladness and joy, And sorrow and sighing will flee away. Isaiah 35:8-‬10‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.35.8.NASB1995

‭‭Are you walking the road of holiness?
It begins with acknowledgement and confession that you are a sinner. It continues by seeking God and walking the rest of your life in faith, trusting in the leadership and guidance of Jesus. Listening . . . for the voice of God.

Your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left.
Isaiah‬ ‭30:21‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.30.21.NASB1995

The Word of God, the Bible, and the Holy Spirit together are the voice of direction and understanding.

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.
Psalms‬ ‭25:8‭-‬9‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.25.8.NASB1995

‭‭So,
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Matthew‬ ‭7:13‭-‬14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.7.13.NASB1995

The road of holiness is a safe road. God is your protector from the ravenous lions, wolves, and beasts of the world.

And in the end, the ransomed of the Lord will return And come with joyful shouting to Zion, With everlasting joy upon their heads. They will find gladness and joy, And sorrow and sighing will flee away. FOREVER!!!

‭‭🌹In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
Proverbs‬ ‭3:6‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Listen and Heed

Oct19

Listen and give heed, do not be haughty, For the Lord has spoken.
Give glory to the Lord your God, Before He brings darkness And before your feet stumble On the dusky mountains, And while you are hoping for light He makes it into deep darkness, And turns it into gloom.
But if you will not listen to it, My soul will sob in secret for such pride; And my eyes will bitterly weep And flow down with tears, Because the flock of the Lord has been taken captive.
This is your lot, the portion measured to you From Me,” declares the Lord, “Because you have forgotten Me And trusted in falsehood.
Jeremiah 13:15‭-‬17‭, ‬25 NASB

🌹I have wiped out your transgressions like a thick cloud And your sins like a heavy mist. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.”
Isaiah 44:22 NASB

No God Like Our God!

Who is like You among the gods, O Lord? Who is like You, majestic in holiness,Awesome in praises, working wonders?
In Your lovingkindness You have led the people whom You have redeemed; In Your strength You have guided them to Your holy habitation.
Exodus 15:11‭, ‬13 NASB

Have you been to God’s holy habitation? The place where His majestic holiness dwells? The place where His wondrous works bring you to praise God and experience His awesomeness?
The redeemed have been led by God’s strength. The redeemed continue to be led to the eternal holy habitation of our God.

No Better Living

Sep28

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,
looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,
who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
Titus 2:11‭-‬14 NASB

The “grace of God has appeared”! Appeared in Jesus Christ who brought salvation! How blessed the believer is!!

Besides salvation, Jesus came to instruct for today. “deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,”
Jesus gave His life for us “to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.” Hallelujah!!! To know Jesus and to serve Him zealously is a wonderful and joyous privilege!

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10 NASB

To live for Jesus is a blessing. We walk with Him “looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,”

🌹Walking in godliness, serving God as we look for His return.

I am Redeemed

Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
1 Peter 5:8 NASB

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary
