It’s been too long; even so I don’t have a lot to say today but “learn to do well” was as a LED to me, so I’m here to share.
Isaiah 1: 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. source
Doing that which is against GOD comes naturally; we must LEARN to do well. We must be taught to do what is right. And what is right? We cannot know unless we obey verse 18. Come together with the LORD and learn from Him. What did JESUS say? (See Matthew 11:29 – clickHERE)
Learn to do well. That’s what He said. Learn. Learn to do well by learning from HIM.
Psalm 73:1 Truly God is good to Israel, To those who are pure in heart. 2 But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling, My steps had almost slipped. source
And I asked: as for me, my feet came close to stumbling, my step had almost slipped — why? Why had I come close to stumbling? Why had I almost slipped?
Verse 3 For I was envious of the arrogant as I saw the prosperity of the wicked. source
Every time!
Envious!
Never good!
How does it happen?
Taking our focus from GOD and His goodness TO US onto people, especially people who seem to be doing all kinds of wickedness, will pollute our hearts and our feet will start slipping and sliding. Every time!
I would say particularly today but it’s all days that family and friends and their well-being is my concern. It is today this verse of Scripture is before me and I am endeavoring to put it before you.
2 Chronicles 16:9 (NKJV) 9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. . . ..”source
Do we see it? Do we see The LORD Himself is looking; He is seeking people to bless. He is seeking people He can show up strong on their behalf. Strong! Mighty! Looking!
Do you want to be one of those people?
Read on and you will discover you can be, if you aren’t already.
If you go to thesourceand read, you will find I did not include all the verse.
I have my reasons.
Not all people are those people. Read the Chapter and decide why; if you haven’t already.
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
