How Kind!

Image
“How kind the LORD is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours! The LORD protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me. Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me. He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. And so I walk in the LORD’s presence as I live here on earth!” — Psalms 116:5-9 (NLT) “What can I offer the LORD for all he has done for me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the LORD’s name for saving me.” (Psalms 116:12-13) “All you who fear the LORD, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield.” (Psalms 115:11) It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in people. (Psalms 118:8) For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” (See Hebrews 13:5) “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.” (Psalms 118:29 NLT)

The Goodness of GOD

“ Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me. He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. ” — Psalms 116:8 (NLT) I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul. You have not handed me over to my enemies but have set me in a safe place. (Psalms 31:7-8 NLT) God is my shield, saving those whose hearts are true and right. (Psalms 7:17 NLT) So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the LORD! (Psalms 31:24 NLT) How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world. (Psalms 31:19 NLT) I will give thanks to Yahweh according to His righteousness and will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High. (Psalms 7:17 LSB) Oh give thanks to Yahweh, call upon His name; Make known His acts among the peoples. (Psalms 105:1 LSB)

Look to Him

Image
I prayed to the LORD, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. In my desperation I prayed, and the LORD listened; he saved me from all my troubles. — Psalms 34:4-6 (NLT) So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. (2 Corinthians 4:18 NLT) Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! Fear the LORD, you his godly people, for those who fear him will have all they need. Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the LORD will lack no good thing. (Psalms 34:8-10 NLT) The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. The righteous person f...

A Gift from God

Image
“God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.” — Ephesians 2:8 (NLT) Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. (Ephesians 2:1 NLT) All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else. (Ephesians 2:3 NLT) In those days you were living apart from Christ. You lived in this world without God and without hope. (See Ephesians 2:12) But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) (Ephesians 2:4-5 NLT) But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.” (Ephesians 2:13 NLT) Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now...

Call on The Name

Image
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him, for “Whoever calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.” — Romans 10:12-13 (LSB) …this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: “‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike— and they will prophesy. And I will cause wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below— blood and fire and clouds of smoke. The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and glorious day of the LORD arrives. But everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.’” (Acts 2:16-21 NLT) “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among mankind by which we must be save...

Endure

Image
“And everyone will hate you because you are my followers. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” — Mark 13:13 (NLT) Because Yeshua overcame, as believers and followers of Christ, we too shall overcome. Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay. (Hebrews 10:35-37 NASB1995) Make a decision to be faithful to the end and you will be saved. We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful. (James 5:11 NASB1995) So, don’t grow weary. Patiently persevere.

Return to Him

Image
Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, says: “Come back to me! By returning and resting in me you will be saved. In quietness and trust you will be made strong. But you refused.” — Isaiah 30:15 (TPT) The LORD is a faithful God. He longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him. (See Isaiah 30:18 NASB1995) Yahweh desires for us to come to Him so He can show us His love and compassion. Isaiah 30:19 (NLT) says: “He will be gracious if you ask for help. He will surely respond to the sound of your cries.” Even though the Lord may allow you to go through a season of hardship and difficulty, he himself will be there with you. He will not hide himself from you, for your eyes will constantly see him as your Teacher. When you turn to the right or turn to the left, you will hear his voice behind you to guide you, saying, “This is the right path; follow it.” (Isaiah 30:20-21 TPT)

His Great Love

Image
...God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),  — Ephesians 2:4-5 (NASB1995) See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God! (See 1 John 3:1 NASB1995) …may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love];  (See Ephesians 3:17-18 AMP)  “Live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. Be convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could eve...

Call on His Name Today

Image
“let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Yeshua ha-Mashiach ha-Natzrati (of Nazareth) —whom you had crucified, whom God raised from the dead—this one stands before you whole. This Yeshua is ‘the stone—rejected by you, the builders—that has become the chief cornerstone.’ There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved!” — Acts 4:10-12 (TLV) Before you call upon the pastor, preacher, priest, or president, make sure you call upon and trust in the name of Yeshua, our Savior.  “And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” (Acts 2:21 NKJV) Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.” (Acts 10:43 NASB1995) “And now you must repent and turn back to God so that your sins will be removed, and so that times of refreshing will stream from the Lord’s presence.” (Act...

He Came to Save

Image
God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. — John 3:17 (TLV) The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. (See Luke 19:10) Yeshua did not come to call the [self-proclaimed] righteous [who see no need to repent], but sinners to repentance [to change their old way of thinking, to turn from sin and to seek God and His righteousness].” (See Luke 5:32 AMP) “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 TLV) 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. (John 3:18 NASB1995) Believe in the Lord Yeshua as your personal Savior and entrust yourself to Him and you will be saved. “Now is the fullness of time,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near! Turn away from your sins, and believe in the Good News!” — ...

He is faithful to answer. In Jeremiah 29:12 (NASB1995) the LORD says: “Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.” God shows no favoritism. (See Acts 10:34 NLT) For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the LORD will be saved.” (Romans 10:12-13 NASB1995) Amen.

Opening his mouth, Peter said: “I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality, but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him.” — Acts 10:34-35 (NASB1995) The Lord your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe. (See Deuteronomy 10:17 NASB1995) For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:11-13 NASB1995)

From Above

He won’t change His mind or play tricks in the shadows . — James 1:16-17 (VOICE) As Believers, our heavenly Father has bestowed upon us so many gifts:  to eat and drink and see the good in all of our hard work is a gift from God. (Ecclesiastes 3:13 VOICE) God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. (Ephesians 2:8 NLT) He has given us grace, peace, joy, and so many precious promises in His Word. He continually lavishes us with His unfailing love. However, the most prized and precious gift of all is the gift of His Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38, Acts 10:45) dwelling within us. The Holy Spirit is our Comforter, Helper and guide. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead, resides in us. The Holy Spirit enables us to fulfill the will of God...

Let’s march into his presence singing praises, lifting the rafters with our hymns! — Psalm 95:1-2 (MSG) Zephaniah 3:17 (NASB)  says: “The LORD your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior.

Be still and acknowledge that the LORD is God. Stand in awe of His magnificence. We are not to rely on ourselves, but on our heavenly Father. The Message Bible says: … stop your silly efforts to save yourselves. Your strength will come from settling down in complete dependence on me— The very thing you’ve been unwilling to do . (Isaiah 30:15)

New Life

Image
For it wasn’t that long ago that we behaved foolishly in our stubborn disobedience. We were easily led astray as slaves to worldly passions and pleasures. We wasted our lives in doing evil, and with hateful jealousy we hated others. — Titus 3:3 (TPT) Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life burgeons!  (2 Corinthians 5:17 MSG) Twenty-nine years ago, I became a new creation in Christ, the old things passed away and all things became new. No longer a prisoner of my past, but a child of God with a glorious future. Praise God for Jesus Christ, the giver of new life! When the extraordinary compassion of God our Savior and his overpowering love suddenly appeared in person, as the brightness of a dawning day, he came to save us. Not because of any virtuous deed that we have done but only because of his extravagant mercy. He saved us, resurrecting us through the washing of rebirth. We...
