PSALM NUGGET, OT LESSON, NT LESSON

PSALM NUGGET:

"Then they remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God their Redeemer."  (Psalm 78:35)

OT LESSON:

"Then Job replied: 'I have heard many things like these; you are miserable comforters, all of you!  Will your long-winded speeches never end?  What ails you that you keep on arguing?"  (Job 16:1-3, NIV)

NT LESSON:

"And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, 'You are My Beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.'"  (Luke 3:22)

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"

Hebrews 12:2

"YOU...SHALL...BRING ME UP AGAIN...."

"You, Who have shown me great and severe troubles, shall revive me again, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth."  (Psalm 71:20)

Many reading this have known, "....great and severe troubles."

What the psalmist confesses you and I can confess right now, and in that confession we know that as we trust in Jesus Christ, He will, indeed, "....bring me up again from the depths of the earth."

Father, in Jesus' Name, thank You for continually, "....bring[ing] me up again"----- and, "again."  Amen.

PSALM NUGGET ON FACE BOOK 

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"

Hebrews 12:2

LITERALLY: "I WILL NEVER, NO POSITIVELY NEVER...."

"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.'"  (Hebrews 13:5, NASB)

This is an exhortation to not worry about provision.  And the reason is, while short, all encompassing for our every moment of our lives,  "For [Jesus] Himself has said, 'I will never desert.., nor...ever forsake you." 

Father, in Jesus' Name, I embrace You and Your promise.  Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"

Hebrews 12:2
