Bible verses thread.... (28)

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. (James 3:13)

¿Quién es sabio y entendido entre ustedes? Que lo demuestre con su buena conducta, mediante obras hechas con la humildad que le da su sabiduría. (Santiago 3:13)

The verse in my sig.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)

Él fue traspasado por nuestras rebeliones, y molido por nuestras iniquidades; sobre él recayó el castigo, precio de nuestra paz, y gracias a sus heridas fuimos sanados. (Isaías 53:5)

This verse is saying that the homeless and the strangers that we may see, and extend compassion and kindness to, could very well be "angels in disguise"...it also reminds me of what Jesus said about giving to the "least of these" and that when we do, we give to "Him", as if HE is the "least of these" in disguise.

beautiful and precious reminder...

Yes, it is a beautiful and precious reminder. We never know who might be put in our pathway.

The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. (Jeremiah 31:3)

Hace mucho tiempo se me apareció el Señor y me dijo: «Con amor eterno te he amado; por eso te sigo con fidelidad, (Jeremías 31:3)

Matthew 5:43-48

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? ..."

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8-9)

«Porque mis pensamientos no son los de ustedes, ni sus caminos son los míos —afirma el Señor —. Mis caminos y mis pensamientos son más altos que los de ustedes; ¡más altos que los cielos sobre la tierra! (Isaías 55:8-9)

Has Matthew 7:1-3 been said yet?

The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. (Psalm 145:9)

El Señor es bueno con todos; él se compadece de toda su creación. (Salmos 145:9)

Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, (Romans 4:20)

Ante la promesa de Dios no vaciló como un incrédulo, sino que se reafirmó en su fe y dio gloria a Dios, (Romanos 4:20)

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. (Psalm 3:5)

Yo me acuesto, me duermo y vuelvo a despertar, porque el Señor me sostiene. (Salmos 3:5)

This is soooooo profound.....this kind of love reminds me about the Bible verse that love covers a multitude of sins.......reminds me of a movie called "Flyboys" when an atheist, an aerial flyer in the war, knowing that his comrads had families, wives, and children, volunteered to go on a mission that would surely result in his death, took it to save the lives of his comrads.

It was profound and powerful, and it had me meditating on those Bible verses.
