Happy Monday,
Precious In His Sight
Isaiah 43:4 ESV /
Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life.
Psalm 116:15 ESV /
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
1 Peter 2:9 ESV
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
1 John 3:1 ESV /
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
When we are physically, emotionally, or mentally ill, we tend to run from God, instead of to God. Just as a child flees from taking medication, we flee from the one who can heal us.
We also tend to hide from others when we need people the most. Especially God-fearing people who could encourage us and pray for us.
It is embarrassing to admit that we are weak and we do not have it altogether.
The truth is that no one has it all together. Sometimes it is not embarrassment that causes us to curl up and hide. We do not want to be a burden to others. Everyone has their share of troubles and we do not want to add to other’s burdens.
God help us to know when to speak up. God help us to always RUN to Him.
Pray for the people of Israel. Pray for lost souls.
Maranatha,
Betty
Revelation 22:20
I Am Coming Quickly
He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
