Plenty

2 When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom. via Proverbs 11 HCSB;CJB – Dishonest scales are detestable to the – Bible Gateway.

My first Scripture of this day.

When pride comes, disgrace follows.

When I give heed to pride; when I think in pride I am sure to act in pride and when I act in pride, disgrace is sure to follow. Dishonor, even. Dishonor to the Name of JESUS and dishonor to the Body of Christ – to the name of Christian. That is the last thing this society needs. We don’t need to give this world any more ‘ammunition’ to hurl at us; they have plenty.

Disgrace is beneath us, my Friends. Let us shun it with all the strength we have; we can only accomplish this in humility – humble living. Humility is not putting ourselves down, it’s lifting JESUS up.   And it’s the WISE thing to do!

Here’s a link for Proverbs 11 if you would like to read it in its entirety.

Short but Full

19 Pilate then took Yeshua and had him flogged. 2 The soldiers twisted thorn-branches into a crown and placed it on his head, put a purple robe on him, 3 and went up to him, saying over and over, “Hail, ‘king of the Jews’!” and hitting him in the face.

And what would have been your response and my response if this were the treatment we received?

That’s why we need a Savior!

May we choose A Gratitude Day!, my Friends, on this 16th day of 2014!!

Here’s . . .

Just a phrase from my Journey reading this morning. “. . . even in His holiness, He understands our humanness.”

14 For he understands how we are made, he remembers that we are dust. via Ps 103 KJV;CJB – Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that – Bible Gateway.

which started me at Psalm 103. Here’s a link if you want to read the whole of it.

Here’s an excerpt to take on your way today.

17 But the mercy of Adonai on those who fear him is from eternity past to eternity future, and his righteousness extends to his children’s children, 18 provided they keep his covenant and remember to follow his precepts.

Today’s Arsenal

This is for me this morning, but I will share with you just in case you need it too. I’ll give it in context and then pull a nugget or two for today’s arsenal.

6 Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the right time he may lift you up.
7 Throw all your anxieties upon him, because he cares about you.
8 Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
9 Stand against him, firm in your trust, knowing that your brothers throughout the world are going through the same kinds of suffering.
10 You will have to suffer only a little while; after that, God, who is full of grace, the one who called you to his eternal glory in union with the Messiah, will himself restore, establish and strengthen you and make you firm.
11 To him be the power forever and ever. Amen.
12 Through Sila, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written you briefly, encouraging you and giving my witness that this is God’s true grace. Stand firm in it!
13 Your sister congregation in Bavel, chosen along with you, sends greetings to you, as does my son Mark.
14 Greet each other with a kiss of love. “Shalom aleikhem!” to all who belong to the Messiah.

via 1 Peter 5 KJV;CJB – The elders which are among you I – Bible Gateway.

Mighty Hand – ABBA’s Hand is mighty today!  Take that and apply it where you need it!

Stay sober! — Don’t become intoxicated today, or drunk on the dregs of this world; on the challenges, the troubles, the sins, the pleasures, the to do lists, the anything this world has to offer or shove at us today; don’t become inebriated with stuff today.

Stand firm in your trust – that ABBA is good and that He loves YOU.

And if not today, soon

will HIMSELF restore, establish and strengthen you and make you firm.

 

Blessings, my Friends on this 14th day of 2014.
