Enduring Truth

Feb25

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.
They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward.
Psalms 19:9-11 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.19.9-11.NASB1995

🙏As for the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips I have kept from the paths of the violent.
My steps have held fast to Your paths. My feet have not slipped.
Psalms 17:4-5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.17.4-5.NASB1995

You have commanded Your testimonies in righteousness And exceeding faithfulness.
Psalms 119:138 NASB1995

Jesus Came to Call

Oct29

For what purpose did Jesus come to earth in bodily form? Why would He leave His throne on high to become a carpenter’s son? Why would He allow His death?

Because of you!!!

Christ Jesus . . . although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Philippians 2:6-8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.2.5-8.NASB1995

Jesus came in obedience to God the Father for a purpose.

Is Jesus our example? Are we to be obedient to God by following in the footsteps of Jesus?

I find these words of Jesus very convicting:

I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” Luke 5:32 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.5.32.NASB1995

Do you?

🌹Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

Humbled Grace

Aug2

But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself.
For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord.
1 Corinthians 4:3-4a NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.4.3-4.NASB1995

‘Can mankind be just before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?
Job 4:17 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.4.17.NASB1995

Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins.
Ecclesiastes 7:20 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/ecc.7.20.NASB1995

as it is written, “There is none righteous, not even one;
Romans 3:10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.3.10.NASB1995

So let us put away the judgment of our brothers and sisters in Christ – the pointing fingers, the gossip, the “I am better than you” self-righteous attitude – and show humbled grace.

🌹If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

Righteous Garment

Naked before the Lord God I stand. Hide my nakedness in Your robe of righteousness I ask. Clothe me and shine through me as Your vessel of righteousness to the world.
