Lu 7:38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

Lu 7:39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

Lu 7:40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

Lu 7:41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

Lu 7:42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

Lu 7:43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

Lu 7:44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

Lu 7:45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

Lu 7:46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.

Lu 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

Lu 7:48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

Lu 7:49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

Lu 7:50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

Ro 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

Ro 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Ro 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Ro 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Ro 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Ro 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Ro 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

Ro 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

Ro 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Lu 20:38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

Ro 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

To Find Rest In God's Grace

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others. 

Dear Lord please help us understand that Your Grace is beyond our ability to comprehend because it is so wonderful and above any merit that we could have, or deserve except in our hoped for conclusion to answered prayers, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

The concept of grace in Christianity is central to understanding the role of Jesus Christ in the salvation of believers. Grace, in Christian theology, refers to the unmerited favor and the divine love of God extended to humanity, particularly through the sacrifice and teachings of Jesus Christ. It plays a pivotal role in the Christian understanding of salvation.

The trials of the Christian life you shall find heavy, but...grace will make them light. -Spurgeon

KJV.*

Mt 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. 

Mt 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Mt 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Mt 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

1Jo 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Mic 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

To Seek Wisdom From Above

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Dear Lord please lead us into areas of kindness and protective caregiving as we mix and mingle with Your Children while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world and please help us grow as we partake of the nourishment that is in Your Word, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV*

 1Co 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

1Co 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

Jas 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

Jas 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

In these verses, James is emphasizing the contrast between earthly wisdom, characterized by envy and strife, which leads to confusion and evil deeds, and divine wisdom, which is pure, peaceable, gentle, merciful, and sincere. James encourages his readers to seek and embrace the wisdom that comes from above, as it fosters positive qualities and actions.

1Pe 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

For It Was Founded Upon A Rock

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Dear Lord please help us to instill in others the value of the Christian Life by all of the fruits that we have in our possession, and in our family and please help us to have the right values and priorities and to be unselfish and humble and to live by the golden rule, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV*

Mt 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Ga 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Mt 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Mt 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Mt 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Mt 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

Mt 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Mt 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Mt 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Mt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Mt 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Mt 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Mt 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Mt 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Mt 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

Mt 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Mt 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

Mt 7:29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Search Me, O God, And Know My Heart

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in everything that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others. 

Jer 17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Ro 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Ro 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Yes, the concept of reaping what you sow is indeed found in the Bible. One of the most well-known passages that conveys this idea is Galatians 6:7-from the New Testament, which states:

"Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life."

This verse emphasizes the idea that the consequences of one's actions will ultimately come back to them, whether for good or for ill. It suggests that if you engage in positive and righteous actions (sowing to the Spirit), you will ultimately reap positive and righteous outcomes, whereas negative and sinful actions (sowing to the flesh) will lead to negative consequences. This principle of reaping what you sow can be found in various other passages throughout the Bible as well.

 Joh 1:1 ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

 Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Dear Lord please lead us into understanding and into insight as we study Your Word !

Ps 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

Having Compassion

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Dear Lord please lead us into the safety of wisdom and wise choices as we mix and mingle with Your Children while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world even when the answers seem to be according to what evil dictates and help us overcome this evil with good, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV*

1Pe 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

1Pe 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

1Pe 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

1Pe 3:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

1Pe 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

1Pe 3:13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

1Pe 3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

1Pe 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

1Pe 3:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

1Pe 3:17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

1Pe 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

1Pe 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

1Pe 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

1Pe 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

In these verses, the apostle Peter encourages believers to live in harmony, showing compassion and humility towards one another. He advises them not to repay evil with evil but instead to bless those who mistreat them. Peter reminds them that they are called to inherit a blessing.

Peter also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a good conscience and suffering for doing what is right, just as Christ suffered for their sins. He highlights Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection, which brings salvation to believers through baptism.

Peter draws a parallel between Noah's ark and baptism, signifying how water symbolizes both cleansing and salvation. He explains that baptism is not about removing dirt from the body but rather an appeal to God for a good conscience through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Peter concludes by emphasizing Christ's victory over spiritual powers and authorities, proclaiming His ascension to the right hand of God. He asserts that Christ's triumph over all things, including death and sin, is a source of hope and assurance for believers.

A Devine Plan

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others. 

Dear Lord please lead us into a day of understanding and insight into the purpose for our existence as we mix and mingle with Your Children and help us to set the examples that we should even when we are too weak to even come close to those examples set by our parents as they lived their lives under duress  and pain only to lose respect and ability to continue on, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV*

Re 7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Re 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Re 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Re 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Re 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 

Re 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Re 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Then the Spirit of prophecy changed the scene of my vision: I seemed to stand on a high eminence, from whence I could distinctly survey the whole model of this heavenly city, which was let down from heaven, a model of a divine plan and workmanship.

Dear Lord please help us see hope and assurance as we harvest the messages of perseverance and endurance, love over hate, and good over evil, that are in the Book of Revelation, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

What We Know Is Right

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

 Dear Lord please lead us away from embarrassment as we mix and mingle with Your Children while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world even when we do not feel strong in faith when we have to witness for what we know is right as we see the injustices all around us, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV*

1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

1Co 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

Nu 11:29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!

1Co 14:5  I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

1Co 14:6  Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

1Co 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

Ga 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Php 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Php 1:15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

Php 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
