I read in Isaiah 58 (NIV). And I began with verse 11:
“The Lord will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.”
I have a little card holder that...
“Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
till the storms of destruction pass by.

to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
He will send from heaven and save me;
he will...

from evil and leads to...
The Apostle Paul wrote For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth (2 Corinthians 13:8 NKJV).
The attitude of the Christian who walks obedient to the Messiah and His Word should be, "I am in Christ,
and He in me; therefore, nothing said or done to diminish me as a just person...

for you I wait all the day long.”

Psalms 46:1-11 ESV
“God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah”...
Words by John H. Sammis, 1887
Music by Daniel B. Towner, 1887
When we walk with the Lord
in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Not a shadow can rise,
not a cloud in the skies...

his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

and let us exalt his name together!” (Psalms 34:1-3 ESV)
No matter what we are going through; no...

“But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
The Lord has established his throne in the heavens...
“Bel bows down; Nebo stoops;
their idols are on beasts and livestock;
these things you carry are borne
as burdens on weary beasts.
They stoop; they bow down together;
they cannot save the burden,
but themselves go into captivity.” (Isaiah 46:1-2 ESV)
What is an idol? Does it...
John 13:34-35 ESV
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
There is a lot of confusion today over this subject of “love.”...
“If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword;
he has bent and readied his bow;
he has prepared for him his deadly weapons,
making his arrows fiery shafts.
Behold, the wicked man conceives evil
and is pregnant with mischief
and gives birth to lies.
He makes a pit, digging it...

2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 ESV

Many are rising against me;
many are saying of my soul,
‘There is no salvation for him in God.’ Selah

my glory, and the lifter of my head.
I cried aloud to the Lord,
and he answered me from his holy hill...
