This week, I've been so thankful for specific truths that I've encountered in God's Word, His promises, His commands... each one a treasure printed there in black and white but also penetrating and alive... I love the fact that God speaks my love language...
#351 God, Who chooses to reaveal Himself with exquisite, enlightening, encouraging, sometimes excruciating and exhilirating words.
#352 Jesus, Who is the Living Word
#353 the Holy Spirit, Who reveals the meaning of all of those words, whispers into my heart, opens my mind and confirms through all that is around me the revelation He's given
#354 the many different men who allowed God to work through them to pen those words
#355 "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:29
#356 "Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near." Philippians 4:5
#357 "But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect…"1 Peter 3:15
#358 "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." Colossians 3:12
#359 "Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law." Psalm 119:18
#360 "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness..." 2 Timothy 3:16
#361 "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. Wealth and honor come from You alone, for You rule over everything. Power and might are in Your hand, and at your discretion people are made great and given strength.O our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name!" 1 Chronicles 29:11-13
#362 "He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who orders his way aright I shall show the salvation of God." Psalm 50:23
#363 "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." Hebrews 10:23-25
#364 "My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John 2:1
#365 "He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it." Titus 1:9
Love #353....Holy Spirit's guidance has been meaning SO much to me lately...
