Forward


“I thought to myself, ‘I would love to treat you as my own children!’I wanted nothing more than to give you this beautiful land—the finest possession in the world. I looked forward to your calling me ‘Father, ’and I wanted you never to turn from me.

But they would not listen to and obey Me or bend their ear [to Me], but followed the counsels and the stubborn promptings of their own evil hearts and minds, and they turned their backs and went in reverse instead of forward.

Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing.

“Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind.

For before John came, all the prophets and the law of Moses looked forward to this present time.

Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.

Jeremiah 3:19 Jeremiah 7:24 Psalm 143:10 Isaiah 58:8 Matthew 11:13 Romans 5:2

The way of obedience is the way of blessing.
