“But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place. For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; to the one an aroma from death to death, to...
“Rescue me, O Lord, from evil men;
Preserve me from violent men
Who devise evil things in their hearts;
They continually stir up wars.
They sharpen their tongues as a serpent;
Poison of a viper is under their lips. Selah.
“Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from violent...
Apart from sadness on this earth,
its misery and toil,
comes to us Jesus, Adonai,
with mystery mirth: Spirit seven-fold.
In eagerness our hearts frame songs,
lips intercede to say
in melody the truths of HaShem
Who gives Gentiles an Age to praise.
Come, sing you grafted-in ones
from every...
“Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh” (Philippians 3:2-3 NIV).
In context, the situation was that there were Judaizers...
“In the future, when your son asks you, ‘What is the meaning of the stipulations, decrees and laws the Lord our God has commanded you?’ tell him: ‘We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. Before our eyes the Lord sent signs and wonders—great...
“Fear the Lord your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name. Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you; for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land. Do not put the...
“Then they answered Joshua, ‘Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses. Whoever rebels against your word and does not obey it, whatever you may...
“It is God who has made my heart faint,
And the Almighty who has dismayed me,
But I am not silenced by the darkness,
Nor deep gloom which covers me.” (Job 23:16-17)
Job was a man of God who served and obeyed the Lord, in practice, so God regarded him as a righteous man. God said about him...
“O God, why have You rejected us forever?
Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?
2 Remember Your congregation, which You have purchased of old,
Which You have redeemed to be the tribe of Your inheritance;
And this Mount Zion, where You have dwelt.
3 Turn Your footsteps...
I prayed today,
in earthbound syllables, unlike the angelic kind,
mine miraculous as the upper room languages,
for I prayed believing Christ would interpret them right:
as for intent, as for need, although
bundled with emotions wrapped around truths He has shown us.
Lord, how encouraging!

“I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God;
Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
Wondrously show Your lovingkindness,
O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand
From those who rise up against them.
Keep me as the apple of the eye;
Hide me in the shadow of Your wings
From...
What we are going through right now, as a people, and as world nations, isn't about political right vs left, or left vs right, but this is about them, the world powers that be, vs us, the people of the world. If you are a Christian (or not), you can read about it in Revelation 13, Matthew 24, 1...
“Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples, saying: ‘The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses; therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them.’” (Matthew 23:1-3 NASB1995)...
