“Say to all the people of the land and to the priests, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months these seventy years, was it actually for Me that you fasted? When you eat and drink, do you not eat for yourselves and do you not drink for yourselves?
Zechariah 7:5-6 NASB
🌹Are we about God in our Christian walk or ourselves? Salvation isn’t the end game but just the beginning.

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.
🌹I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

A lump of clay. Just a blob until it is placed in the hands of a potter.
A new born baby is similar to a lump of clay. They are helpless without the care of a parent. This helpless baby, under the care of loving parents will learn to walk, talk, dress themselves, etc.
Aren’t parents a type of potter, transforming this baby, lump of clay, into someone beautiful and special?
🌹Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6 NASB
like newborn babies, long for the (unadulterated) pure (spritual) milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in (up to salvation) respect to salvation,
1 Peter 2:2 NASB
We all were a lump of clay in the physical realm. But what about the spiritual realm?
Have you placed your life in the Potter’s hands? Are you still a lump of clay in need of salvation? Are you in the word, being transformed by the Potter into a useful vessel?
Be sure to stop by tomorrow for the transformation of clay in the Potter’s hands.

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 NASB
“The Lord knows those who are His.“
Aren’t those some beautiful words? As I was reading this yesterday those words just jumped off the page. I am known by the the good Shepherd! I am known by the Savior of the world! I am known by the King of kings. I am known by the Lord of lords. I am known by the Creator of all peoples and things. I am so blessed to know the God who knows me. He has revealed His great love for me and I shall love Him forever!
but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.
1 Corinthians 8:3 NASB
Do you know the One who loves you like no other and knows you? I hope so. There is no better relationship you can have than knowing the one and only true, living God! Seek and you will find.
In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 1:13 NASB
🌹I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,

He chooses our inheritance for us, The glory of Jacob whom He loves. Selah.
Psalm 47:4 NASB
The princes (nobles) of the people have assembled themselves as the people of the God of Abraham, For the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.
Psalms 47:9 NASB
Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel and its Holy One, To the despised One, To the One abhorred by the nation, To the Servant of rulers, “Kings will see and arise, Princes will also bow down, Because of the Lord who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel who has chosen You.”
Isaiah 49:7 NASB
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1 Peter 1:3-5 NASB
Those who hopefully wait for Me will not be put to shame.
Isaiah 49:23d NASB
Indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed; Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.
Psalms 25:3 NASB
🌹For You are the Lord Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.
Psalms 97:9 NASB

New to salvation? Don’t stop there.
like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,
1 Peter 2:2 NASB
God has a plan to grow you called sanctification. Are you longing for the pure milk of the word? As babies progress from milk to solids, the newborn Christian grows from salvation to righteous living.
For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.
Hebrews 5:13-14 NASB
Are you practicing what you are reading in God’s word?
With faithful reading and application of God’s word comes blessing and a thankful heart to God.
How blessed are those who observe His testimonies, Who seek Him with all their heart.
I shall give thanks to You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments.
Psalms 119:2, 7 NASB
Will you make the word of God a habit until it becomes your treasure?
🌹Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You.
I will meditate on Your precepts And regard Your ways. I shall delight in Your statutes; I shall not forget Your word.
Psalms 119:11, 15-16 NASB
AMEN.

The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God of my salvation,
Psalms 18:46 NASB
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation;
Then my tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness. /And my tongue shall declare Your righteousness And Your praise all day long./
My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long;
Psalm 51:14/Psalm 35:28/Psalm 71:15a NASB
When you experience the real cost of your salvation, it is hard to NOT to sing, declare, tell of the righteousness of Jesus and of His salvation.
🌹As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.
Job 19:25 NASB

And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him.
Matthew 18:34 NASB
My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart.”
Matthew 18:35 NASB
A man was shown mercy for a debt owed to his lord but turned around and showed no mercy to a fellow slave who was indebted to him. This man was forgiven his debt and set free but turned around and sent his fellow slave to jail until he was repaid.
Jesus forgave the debt of sin I owed by His blood.
And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
Hebrews 9:22 NASB
Jesus opened the door to salvation. Without forgiveness there is no salvation.
We aren’t to take God’s forgiveness and turn to our brother or sister in Christ and not forgive them. But we also are not to superficially forgive by lip service but are to forgive from the heart. Without true mercy we sentence ourselves to a prison of bitterness, anger, resentment, and separation from God.
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Luke 6:36 NASB
🌹“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Matthew 5:7 NASB

On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
Psalms 62:7 NASB
The Lord gives grace and glory. He is our shelter where we can run and feel safe. He is our rock of strength to face the trials, hurts, stress, tribulations, sufferings of this world. On God alone our salvation and glory rest.
Where, or should I say, Who do you run to in these times?
🌹For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
Psalms 84:11 NASB
Continually Seeking Him,

He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
Psalms 62:6 NASB
The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.
Deuteronomy 32:4 NASB
There is no one holy like You Lord, Indeed, there is no one besides You, Nor is there any rock like You God.
I will declare that You Lord are upright. You are my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in You. Being my rock, I will not be shaken for I trust in You, my salvation, my fortress, my God. In Your holy name I pray, amen.
1 Samuel 2:2 NASB/Psalms 92:15 NASB

Trust in the Lord forever, For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock.
