PSALM NUGGET, OT LESSON, NT LESSON

PSALM NUGGET;

"Be my rock of habitation, to which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress."  (Psalm 71:3)

OT LESSON:

"But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up."  (Ecc. 4:10)

NT LESSON:

"Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith." (Galatians 3:24)

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

"....TO REVEAL HIS SON IN ME...."

"....It pleased God...to reveal His Son in me...." (From Galatians 1:15, 16)

This is precisely what it "pleases" God to do in you and me also, indeed, in all who surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. 

Many times we may not seem like we are good examples of this.  We absolutely must, however, get over looking at ourselves and resolutely, "....run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus."  

Confess this out loud with me: "....It pleased God to reveal His Son in me."

Father, in Jesus' Name, I pray that I get over myself and into You.  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

"TRULY MY SOUL......................."

"Truly my soul silently waits for God; from Him comes my salvation.  He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved....My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from him.  He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved.  In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God....God has spoken once, twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God."  (Psalm 62:1, 2, 5-8, 11)

I made a particular note of one verse of this Psalm for a text, then kept taking notes of others, until I came up with many verses from Psalm 62.  Again, just reading aloud the Psalms is its own medicine.

I have been meeting weekly with about 17 people from various "stages" in their relationship in Jesus; some of them have none.  I have encouraged them several times to read the Bible with the heart, not just the mind.  It will make all the difference in our attitude towards Bible reading.

Yes, the Bible speaks of understanding and wisdom, but remember Romans 10:  "For with the heart one believes unto righteousness...."  And, "with the heart," one receives the impartation of Jesus' Words.

Father, in Jesus' Name, thank You for the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in Your Words, and, the impartation of Your life in those Words.  Amen.
