All things


a WORD from God's Book
(photo: Maui)

Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O LORD, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things.

You gave him authority over all things." Now when it says "all things," it means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all of this happen.

For he must remain in heaven until the time for the final restoration of all things, as God promised long ago through his prophets.

Furthermore, because of Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us from the beginning, and all things happen just as he decided long ago.

But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don't need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you all things, and what he teaches is true--it is not a lie. So continue in what he has taught you, and continue to live in Christ.

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

1 Chronicles 29:11 Hebrews 2:8 Acts 3:21 Ephesians 1:11 1 John 2:27 Romans 8:28

_________________________________________________________________________________
My heart is confident in you, O God; no wonder I can sing your praises! Wake up, my soul!

So now, come back to your God! Act on the principles of love and justice, and always live in confident dependence on your God.

I am confident that I will see the LORD's goodness while I am here in the land of the living.

And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation.

But Christ, the faithful Son, was in charge of the entire household. And we are God's household, if we keep up our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ.

We are confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Hour by hour I place my days in your hand…

Even if you live a long time, don't take a single day for granted. Take delight in each light-filled hour…

Jesus replied, "There are twelve hours of daylight every day. As long as it is light, people can walk safely. They can see because they have the light of this world.

A wise youth works hard all summer; a youth who sleeps away the hour of opportunity brings shame.

Yes, it will be `business as usual' right up to the hour when the Son of Man returns.

Lift

___________________________________________________________________________________
"If only you would prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer!

Let's lift our hearts and hands at one and the same time, praying to God in heaven

Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be lifted up, you age-abiding doors, that the King of glory may come in.

Cause me to hear Your loving-kindness in the morning, for on You do I lean and in You do I trust. Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my inner self to You.

I assure you that you can say to this mountain, `May God lift you up and throw you into the sea,' and your command will be obeyed. All that's required is that you really believe and do not doubt in your heart.

Humble yourselves [feeling very insignificant] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up and make your lives significant].

Know


a WORD from God's Book
(photo: WOW! Not just a bush - home cs)
___________________________________________________________________________________
"So what's new? I know all this. The question is, "How can mere mortals get right with God?'


But how can people call for help if they don't know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven't heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them?


Since the world in all its fancy wisdom never had a clue when it came to knowing God, God in his wisdom took delight in using what the world considered dumb--preaching, of all things!-to bring those who trust him into the way of salvation.


And this is the real and eternal life: That they know you, The one and only true God, And Jesus Christ, whom you sent.


We know very well that we are not set right with God by rule-keeping but only through personal faith in Jesus Christ. How do we know? We tried it--and we had the best system of rules the world has ever seen! Convinced that no human being can please God by self-improvement, we believed in Jesus as the Messiah so that we might be set right before God by trusting in the Messiah, not by trying to be good.

Gain

_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Happy is the person who finds wisdom and gains understanding.

Then you will understand what it means to fear the LORD, and you will gain knowledge of God.

And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process? Is anything worth more than your soul?

Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I may have Christ.


[ The Priceless Gain of Knowing Christ ] Whatever happens, dear brothers and sisters, may the Lord give you joy. I never get tired of telling you this.

a WORD from God's Book

______________________________________________________________________
This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is changing lives everywhere, just as it changed yours that very first day you heard and understood the truth about God's great kindness to sinners.

Oh, what a wonderful God we have! How great are his riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his methods!

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

God has given gifts to each of you from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Manage them well so that God's generosity can flow through you.

"So don't be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.

Yet true religion with contentment is great wealth.

The godly can look forward to happiness, while the wicked can expect only wrath.

Be brave. Be strong. Don't give up. Expect GOD to get here soon.

But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

GOD told them, "I've never quit loving you and never will. Expect love, love, and more love!

You, GOD, prescribed the right way to live; now you expect us to live it.

The LORD made his people very fruitful;

[ A Man Devoted to God ] Job was a man who lived in Uz. He was honest inside and out, a man of his word, who was totally devoted to God and hated evil with a passion.

A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree.

I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to your commandments.

"No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.

They joined with the other believers and devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, sharing in the Lord's Supper and in prayer.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
Don't plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.

I, the LORD, am your God, who brought you from the land of Egypt so you would no longer be slaves. I have lifted the yoke of slavery from your neck so you can walk free with your heads held high.

I have heard Israel saying, `You disciplined me severely, but I deserved it. I was like a calf that needed to be trained for the yoke and plow. Turn me again to you and restore me, for you alone are the LORD my God.

Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light."

Isn't it obvious that faith and works are yoked partners, that faith expresses itself in works? That the works are "works of faith"?

Sense

___________________________________________________________________________________
Jesus said, "What a generation! No sense of God! No focus to your lives! How many times do I have to go over these things? How much longer do I have to put up with this?

But when the Friend comes, the Spirit of the Truth, he will take you by the hand and guide you into all the truth there is. He won't draw attention to himself, but will make sense out of what is about to happen and, indeed, out of all that I have done and said.


Things calmed down after that and the church had smooth sailing for a while. All over the country--Judea, Samaria, Galilee--the church grew. They were permeated with a deep sense of reverence for God. The Holy Spirit was with them, strengthening them. They prospered wonderfully.

"Here's what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.

But what happens when we live God's way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard--things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people.

[ Just a Touch ] As he finished saying this, a local official appeared, bowed politely, and said, "My daughter has just now died. If you come and touch her, she will live."

Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch the untouchables. Kick out the demons. You have been treated generously, so live generously.

When you look at a baby, it's just that: a body you can look at and touch. But the person who takes shape within is formed by something you can't see and touch--the Spirit--and becomes a living spirit.

I want you woven into a tapestry of love, in touch with everything there is to know of God. Then you will have minds confident and at rest, focused on Christ, God's great mystery.

They're completely out of touch with the source of life, Christ, who puts us together in one piece, whose very breath and blood flow through us. He is the Head and we are the body. We can grow up healthy in God only as he nourishes us.

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

Our responsibility is never to oppose the truth, but to stand for the truth at all times.

Stand your ground, putting on the sturdy belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness.

Moment



a WORD from God's Book
(photo: Monterey,CA by Paul Wesphal)
_______________________________________________________________________________
His anger lasts for a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may go on all night, but joy comes with the morning.

Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? Of course not.

The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength.

You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am.

It will happen in a moment, in the blinking of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, the Christians who have died will be raised with transformed bodies. And then we who are living will be transformed so that we will never die.

Psalm 30:5 Matthew 6:27 Psalm 138:3 Psalm 139:3 1 Corinthians 15:52
