Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold His reward is with Him, and His work before Him. And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. Isaiah 62:11-12 :amen:

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. I all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. Proverbs 3:5-8

Matthew 5:13-16
"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For He hath clothed me with the
garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe
of righteousness,!!
Isaiah 61:10

He clothed me, He covered me, With this great imputation He made the exchange of my sin for His righteousness! When the penitent sinner, ME, recognized he cant achieve his own righteousness by works and repents and calls for God's mercy, the Lord covers his with His own divine righteousness by grace through his faith!

Soli deo gloria, sola gratia, sola fide, sola Christus, sola scriptura

Surely works for me!! May we rest under the shadow of His Wings!

Psalm 102 speaks volumes to me.

And I sometimes use it as my personal prayer to God:

Hear my prayer, O Lord;
let my cry for help come to
you.
Do not hide your face from
me
when I am in distress.
Turn your ear to me;
when I call, answer me
quickly.

For my days vanish like
smoke;
my bones burn like glowing
embers.
Psalm 102: 1-3.

Not well known scriptures but rich in meaning and clues about the 'accuser of the brethren' and how God handles him.

Zechariah 3:1-6

Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan sanding at his right side to accuse him. The Lord said to Satan, "The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?

Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, "Take off his filthy clothes."

Then he said to Joshua, "See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you."

Then I said, " Put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by.

The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua: "This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'If you will walk in my ways and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.

By the Blood of the Lamb of God, i.e. Jesus (the angel of the Lord is a type for Jesus) our sins are taken away and we are made righteous...not by any deed we do. Satan would accuse the beloved of God..but God comes to their defense and gives them his clean garments and decree to receive Godly authority and responsibility. Their (our) place is assured in the Beloved. We are made pure by the Blood of Jesus and may wear the clean clothes the Lord has given us. Against this kind of protection...Satan cannot be successful in accusing others. There is a condition though, in these words, "If you will walk in my ways and keep my requirements. (v. 6) So obedience and discipleship is necessary on our part. :amen:

For Christ [the Messiah Himself] died for sins once for all, the Righteous for the unrighteous (the Just for the unjust, the Innocent for the guilty), that He might bring us to God. In His human body He was put to death, but He was made alive in the Spirit. 1 Peter 3:18 (Amplified Bible)

Psalm 102:1-7. is a good description of how it feels to be low..This Psalm is definitely a prayer which we can utter to the Lord.

Hear my prayer, O Lord;
let my cry for help come to you.
Do not hide your face from me
when I am in distress.
Turn your ear to me;
when I call answer me quickly.

For my days vanish like smoke;
my bones burn like glowing embers.
My heart is blighted and withered like grass,
I forget to eat my food.

Because of my loud groaning
I am reduced to skin and bones.
I am like a desert owl,
like an owl among the ruins.

I lie awake; I have become
like a bird along on a roof. :pray:

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. John 7:37, 38

I see. But there are so many people fascinated with saying, "To hell with the devil," that they don't realize what they are saying. I think this is what Peter might have meant when he talked about those who "slander celestial beings."
