Settling

Jan6

And he (Satan) led Him (Jesus) up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world (the inhabited earth) in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
Luke 4:5-6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/lk.4.5-6.NASB1995

and he (Satan) said to Him (Jesus), “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.”
Matthew 4:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.4.9.NASB1995

“The world!” I’m not settling for this world when God offers the best. Good things come to those who wait. The best is yet to come.

Yet those who wait for the Lord Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
Isaiah 40:31 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.40.31.NASB1995

in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.
2 Timothy 4:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2ti.4.8.NASB1995

Jesus’ response to Satan:

. . . “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.’ ”
Matthew 4:10 NASB1995

You are my God, and I give thanks to You; You are my God, I extol You.
Psalms 118:28 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.118.28.NASB1995

Extol: worship, exalt, glorify, celebrate

O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water. Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.

Shout, Serve, Come, Know

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.

Psalms 100:1-3 NASB1995‬

Know the God you have been shown. God is real, believer, so know He is God and there is no other. He is your God and you are His sheep and like a shepherd He will tend His flock, and in His arm He will gather the lambs And carry them in His bosom; He will gently lead the nursing ewes. You are loved.

Gentle Quiet Spirit

May14

Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.
Philippians 4:5 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.4.5.NASB1995

Do you have a gentle spirit? Have you ever thought about where a gentle spirit comes from?

‭Your adornment must not be merely external . . . but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.
1 Peter 3:3a-4 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.3.3-4.NASB1995

A gentle spirit comes from Jesus. The imperishable and gentle quiet spirit is the Holy Spirit that resides in a saved person. Precious in the sight of God is the reflection of the Father’s Son, Jesus, in us. Surrendering our whole heart to God will transform us into a gentle spirited person.
‭
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
Romans 12:1 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.12.1.NASB1995

To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit;
For, “The one who desires life, to love and see good days, Must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit. He must turn away from evil and do good; He must seek peace and pursue it.”
1 Peter 3:8,10-11 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.3.8-11.NASB1995


So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
Galatians 6:10 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.6.10.NASB1995

🌹But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.

Wonderful God! 🙌

Mar22

Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders which You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to count.
Psalms 40:5 NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.40.5.NASB1995

‭‭God, what a tremendous blessing it is to worship and know the One who does great and unsearchable things, miracles without number. You alone do great wonderful acts for Your lovingkindness is everlasting. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. My heart rejoices when I awake each new day and I am still with You. Praise to You my wonderful God! In the glorious name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
(Job 5:9; Psalms 136:4; Psalms 139:17-18 NASB1995‬‬)

Seek and Know

Oct3

“As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind (soul); for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.
1 Chronicles 28:9 NASB

The grace of God allows us to find Him.
Seeking God is to know Him.
Knowing God is to revere Him.
To revere God is to worship, respect, honor, exalt, cherish, adore, admire, obey and seek.

🌹You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13 NASB
