Just a quick hello for the weekend.
The first rejoice and the last rejoice of the KJV. Lets see.
Exodus 18:9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians. source
I like that! That would be a great thing for us to do this weekend. Rejoice for all the goodness which the LORD has done for us.
And the last rejoice? What could it be?
Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. source
Need I say more?
8 . . . Day and night they never stop saying:
“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,’
who was, and is, and is to come.” Revelation 4 source
Day and night they never stop saying it.
Holy, holy, holy
He is eternal. GOD who was, GOD who is and GOD who always will be.
It’s a heavenly scene but it is written and preserved for our learning, not just for the future but for now I think. Today.
Today, if my life, not necessarily 24/7 speech, will say He is MY eternal GOD and He is holy, holy, holy, then there will not be much on this temporary planet that will trip me up. Takes practice.
I am comforted and challenged to think on this.
A Word of Comfort from The GOD of ALL Comfort.
Revelation 21:4 (CSB) 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; grief, crying, and pain will be no more, because the previous things have passed away. source
And until then
2 Corinthians 1:3-5 (TLV)3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Father of compassion and God of all encouragement. 4 He encourages us in every trouble, so that we may be able to encourage those who are in any trouble, through the very encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged by God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Messiah overflow into us, so also through Messiah our encouragement overflows. source
