Jesus Gives Us Great Joy!

The Lovingkindness of the LORD
*
Psalm 89:1, 5

To all generations I will make known Your faithfulness with my mouth.
The heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord;
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones."

His Lovingkindness is Everlasting
*
"Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.
Know that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving
And His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His lovingkindness is everlasting
And His faithfulness to all generations."

"Jesus exalts what the world despises and rejects what it admires."
Admitting We are Poor
*
17-18 ..."Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of His disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured.
19 And all the people were trying to touch Him, for power was coming from Him and healing them all.
20 And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.
22 Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.
23 Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.
24 But woe to you who are rich, for you are receiving your comfort in full.
25 Woe to you who are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.
26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.
27-28 But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
29 Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either.
30 Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.
31 Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.
32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
34 If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount.
35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful..."

We are like those who dream...
"When the Lord brought back
the captive ones of Zion,
We were like those who dream.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter
And our tongue with joyful shouting;
Then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
The Lord has done great things for us;
We are glad.
Restore our captivity, O Lord,
As the streams in the South.
Those who sow in tears
shall reap with joyful shouting.
He who goes to and fro weeping,
carrying his bag of seed,
Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him."

Hidden in My Heart
*
I seek You Lord with all my heart
Don't let me stray Lord
From Your commands
I hide Your Word in my heart
That I might not sin Lord
Sin against You
Your Word is a lamp to guide my feet
Your Word is a light unto my path
Your Word is hidden in my heart
That's where it will always be
'Cause Your Word is living deep inside
The deepest part of me
Psalm 119:10,11,16,105
10) With all my heart I have sought You;
Do not let me wander from Your commandments.
11) Your word I have treasured in my heart,
That I may not sin against You.
16) I shall delight in Your statutes;
I shall not forget Your word.
105) Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.

The LORD can give you His Peace

The Lord make His face shine on you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance on you,
And give you peace.’"

The Lord Is My Shepherd
*
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside quiet waters
He restores my soul
Surely goodness and love will follow me
All the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forevermore
Even though I walk through
The valley of the dark
I will not fear any evil
For You are here to comfort
And anoint me
My heart overflows
You will hide me
In the shadow
You are with me
*
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down
in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the
paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and lovingkindness
will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house
of the Lord forever.

Love is
*
Love
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love does not envy or boast
Love is not rude
Love is not self-seeking
Or easily angered
And it keeps no memory of wrong
It never delights in evil
But rejoices in truth
Love
Always protects
Always trusts
Love always hopes and perseveres
Love never fails
For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son
That whoever believes in Him
They will never perish
They will love forever
For God is Love
Love never fails
God is Love
And Love never fails
-Jay Stocker
*
1 Corinthians 13:4-8a
"Love is patient,
love is kind and is not jealous;
love does not brag and is not arrogant,
does not act unbecomingly;
it does not seek its own,
is not provoked,
does not take into account a wrong suffered,
does not rejoice in unrighteousness,
but rejoices with the truth;
bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails;"
*
John 3:16-21
“For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish,
but have eternal life.
For God did not send the Son into
the world to judge the world,
but that the world might be saved through Him.
He who believes in Him is not judged;
he who does not believe has been judged already,
because he has not believed in the name
of the only begotten Son of God.
This is the judgment,
that the Light has come into the world,
and men loved the darkness
rather than the Light,
for their deeds were evil.
For everyone who does evil hates the Light,
and does not come to the Light for fear that
his deeds will be exposed.
But he who practices the truth
comes to the Light,
so that his deeds may be manifested
as having been wrought in God.”
*
1 John 4:15-16
"Whoever confesses that
Jesus is the Son of God,
God abides in him, and he in God.
We have come to know and have
believed the love which God has for us.
God is love, and the one who abides
in love abides in God, and God abides in Him."

“Cease striving and know that I am God"
*
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
“Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.

Be Still And Know by Jay Stocker
Be still my soul
Be still and know that He is God
Rest quietly
Rest in His loving arms for--
He is watching over you
Ever faithful, ever true
So be still my soul
Be still and know that He is God.
Be still my soul
Be still and listen for His voice
Rest in His peace
Knowing how much He cares for--
He is watching over you
Ever faithful, ever true
So be still my soul
Be still and know that He is God.

and wait patiently for Him..."

Preach the Word; Be Ready-with Great Patience...
*
..."I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.
Make every effort to come to me soon; for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
Only Luke is with me.
Pick up Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
When you come bring the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.
Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
Be on guard against him yourself, for he vigorously opposed our teaching.
At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them.
But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fully accomplished, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was rescued out of the lion’s mouth.
The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. Erastus remained at Corinth, but Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.
Make every effort to come before winter.
Eubulus greets you, also Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren.
The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you."

..."Train up a child in the way he should go,
Even when he is old he will not depart from it."...
*
2 Timothy 3:14-17
..."continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."
*
"O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thought from afar.
You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O Lord, You know it all.
You have enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is too high, I cannot attain to it.
Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me,
And the light around me will be night,”
Even the darkness is not dark to You,
And the night is as bright as the day.
Darkness and light are alike to You.
For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks to You,
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
If I should count them,
they would outnumber the sand.
When I awake, I am still with You.
O that You would slay the wicked, O God;
Depart from me, therefore, men of bloodshed.
For they speak against You wickedly,
And Your enemies take Your name in vain.
Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
I hate them with the utmost hatred;
They have become my enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way.

The Road Before You: Choices
*
-Read the Bible for God's Wisdom
-Read God's Word, the Bible, to learn of Him
-Choosing Obedience to Honor God
*
*
Psalm 11:10
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever."
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
Fools despise wisdom and instruction."
Prov 2:6
"For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding."
Prov 11:2
"When pride comes, then comes dishonor, But with the humble is wisdom."
Prov 15:33
"The fear of the Lord is the instruction for wisdom, And before honor comes humility."
Matthew 7:24-27
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”
Romans 11:33-36
"Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!
For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor?
Or who has first given to Him that it might be paid back to him again?
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.
To Him be the glory forever. Amen."
Ephesians 1:15-23
"For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints, do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers; that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe.
These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all."
Colossians 4:5-6
"Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity.
Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person."
James 1:2-6
"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind."

May the LORD be glorified by our choices!

Speeding Through Life?
Photographer: Glenn Chatfield: "I asked the pilot for a fly-by!"
*
We can go speeding through life until we realize that Jesus will never leave you. He is your only safe place.
*
When your sky is cold and lonely
And your heart is filled with fear
I will wrap My arms around you
Know that I am here
And I will keep you safe and sound
Through the darkness that surrounds
I will never leave you
Nor forsake you
Know that I am with you
You will never be alone
When your way is bright and glowing
And your soul knows no despair
Can you hear Me singing with you?
In your triumph I will share
For I am watching over you
And I rejoice in all you do
So remember, never doubt this
Hold it tightly to your heart
I'm forever, always with you
I will be right where you are
-written by Jay Stocker
*
Hebrews 13:5-6
"Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said,
“I will never desert you,
nor will I ever forsake you,”
so that we confidently say,
“The Lord is my helper,
I will not be afraid.
What will man do to me?”

Waiting for the LORD; Gaining New Strength!
*
Those who put their hope in the LORD
Will renew their strength
They will run and not grow weary
They will walk and not faint
They will fly like an eagle
Soar through the sky
Far above the storm
They will glide on the cool breeze
Safe from the fight
Those who put their trust in Jesus
Those who have their hope in the Lord
-written by Jay Stocker
*
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord!"
-written by Louisa Stead

Isaiah 40:31
"Yet those who wait for the Lord
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary."

Wake Up and Smell the Cocoa!
*
Psalm 61
"Hear my cry, O God;
Give heed to my prayer.
From the end of the earth
I call to You when my heart is faint;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For You have been a refuge for me,
A tower of strength against the enemy.
Let me dwell in Your tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.
For You have heard my vows, O God;
You have given me the inheritance
of those who fear Your name.
You will prolong the king’s life;
His years will be as many generations.
He will abide before God forever;
Appoint lovingkindness and truth
that they may preserve him.
So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
That I may pay my vows day by day."

Hold Fast to the Word He Preached
*
1 Corinthians 15:1-4,8-10,20-23,50-58
"Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures...
...He appeared to me [Paul] also. For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me...
...now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming...
...Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written,
“Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord."
