Psalm 108, HIS great love for us!

Psa 108:1-2, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn.

The heart of king David was confident in GOD alone! He knew where his help came from! It wasn’t from man but GOD HIMSELF!

Psa 121:1-2, I will lift up my eyes to the hills—FROM WHENCE COMES MY HELP? MY HELP COMES FROM THE LORD, WHO MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH.

David was a talented musician who would wake up every morning to sing praises to the KING OF kings! The LORD was with him!

Psa 108:5-6, Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth; THAT YOUR BELOVED MAY BE DELIVERED, Save with Your right hand, and hear me.

David was confident in the LORD, and also, he knew that the LORD loved him! He called himself “beloved” Just like JOHN

Joh 21:20, Then Peter, turning around, SAW THE DISCIPLE WHOM JESUS LOVED FOLLOWING, WHO ALSO HAD LEANED ON HIS BREAST AT THE SUPPER…

This is not arrogance but it’s a true statement! Both David and John were beloved of GOD! Yet you can add many, many others to that list!

Dan 9:23, At the beginning of your supplications the command went out, and I have come to tell you, FOR YOU ARE GREATLY BELOVED..

Do you know that you are loved by GOD HIMSELF? Even with all your faults HE is still in love with you!

Rom 1:7, To ALL who are in Rome, BELOVED OF GOD, CALLED TO BE SAINTS: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Rom 8:38-39, For I am persuaded that Neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.

Joh 3:16, FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.

Our sins are great, yet HIS love is greater! Trust in the LORD for HE loves you!

Psalm 98, HIS is coming!

Psa 98:1, OH, SING TO THE LORD A NEW SONG! FOR HE HAS DONE MARVELOUS THINGS; His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory. 

What the LORD has done for us is amazing! Other, so-called gods, religions, deities, require the people to go to them, BUT OUR LORD CAME TO US AND ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BE CRUCIFIED FOR THE PENALTY OF OUR SINS! HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!

Luk 1:46-47, 49, And Mary said: “MY SOUL MAGNIFIES THE LORD, AND MY SPIRIT HAS REJOICED IN GOD MY SAVIOR…. FOR HE WHO IS MIGHTY HAS DONE GREAT THINGS FOR ME, AND HOLY IS HIS NAME. 

Psa 98:2, The LORD has made known HIS SALVATION; HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS HE has revealed in the sight of the nations. 

The LORD has revealed HIS salvation and righteousness to those willing to hear and humble themselves! But, the day is coming where the nations will know this truth!

Luk 3:6, AND ALL FLESH SHALL SEE THE SALVATION OF GOD.’ “

Every knee, in heaven, earth and in hell shall bow down at the name of JESUS!

Php 2:10-11, THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, OF THOSE IN HEAVEN, AND OF THOSE ON EARTH, AND OF THOSE UNDER THE EARTH, AND THAT EVERY TONGUE SHOULD CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER.

Psa 98:7-8, Let the sea roar, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell in it; Let the rivers clap their hands; Let the hills be joyful together before the LORD,

ALL of HIS creation shall worship HIM at HIS coming; HE shall judge the world righteously!

Psa 98:9, FOR HE IS COMING TO JUDGE THE EARTH. WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS HE SHALL JUDGE THE WORLD, AND THE PEOPLES WITH EQUITY. 

Psa 67:4, Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy! FOR YOU SHALL JUDGE THE PEOPLE RIGHTEOUSLY, AND GOVERN THE NATIONS ON EARTH. SELAH 

HE SHALL BE KING OF ALL THE EARTH, AND WILL RULE WITH AN IRON FIST! BE READY FOR HE IS NEAR!

Rev 22:20, He who testifies to these things says, “SURELY I AM COMING QUICKLY.” Amen. EVEN SO, COME, LORD JESUS! 

Psalm 86, Are we Righteous?

Psalm 86:1-2, Bow down Your ear, O LORD, hear me; ​​FOR I AM POOR AND NEEDY. Preserve my life, FOR I AM HOLY; ​​You are my God; ​​Save Your servant who trusts in You!

A Psalm of David, was he holy before the LORD? This is not a claim of being perfect, but he was set apart from other men to do the work of GOD! The LORD will hear his cry!

Psalm 4:3, But know that the LORD has set apart for Himself him who is godly; THE LORD WILL HEAR WHEN I CALL TO HIM.

Can we call ourselves righteous before GOD? Scripture says our righteousness is but dirty rags

Isa 64:6, BUT WE ARE ALL LIKE AN UNCLEAN THING, AND ALL OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSES ARE LIKE FILTHY RAGS;

Yet, the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous?

1Peter 3:12a, For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers;

When we come to faith in CHRIST JESUS, HIS blood covers us and cleanses us! So, when the FATHER sees us HE sees HIS RIGHTEOUS SON!

Isa 61:10, I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; FOR HE HAS CLOTHED ME WITH THE GARMENTS OF SALVATION, HE HAS COVERED ME WITH THE ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, …

Psa 86:5, FOR YOU, LORD, ARE GOOD, AND READY TO FORGIVE, AND ABUNDANT IN MERCY TO ALL THOSE WHO CALL UPON YOU.

The LORD is good, and merciful to those that come to HIM! Some call HIM the GOD of second chances; more like 10th or 20th etc. chances! 

Matt 18:21-22, Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” JESUS said to him, “I DO NOT SAY TO YOU, UP TO SEVEN TIMES, BUT UP TO SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN.

Peter thought it a lot to forgive his brother seven times, YET the LORD is full of compassion!

Psa 86:15, BUT YOU, O LORD, ARE A GOD FULL OF COMPASSION, AND GRACIOUS, LONGSUFFERING AND ABUNDANT IN MERCY AND TRUTH.

This is the LORD we serve, our loving FATHER who gave to us HIS only SON, JESUS, who gave all to save the lost!  THANK YOU LORD!

Psalm 75, The cup of HIS wrath!

Psa 75:1, … We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.

The works of the LORD, in regards to Israel, are simply amazing! We should always give thanks to the LORD for HE continues to work!

Deu 4:33-34, DID ANY PEOPLE ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live? Or did God ever try to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that THE LORD YOUR GOD DID FOR YOU IN EGYPT BEFORE YOUR EYES?

Psa 75:4-5, “I SAID TO THE BOASTFUL, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’ And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn. Do not lift up your horn on high; Do not speak with a stiff neck.’ “

HE has said to those that brag and the proud, “STOP BOASTING, STOP BEING PRIDEFUL; IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU, BUT IT’S ABOUT HIM”!

Psa 75:6-7, FOR EXALTATION comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south. BUT GOD IS THE JUDGE: HE PUTS DOWN ONE, AND EXALTS ANOTHER.

THE LORD PROMOTES WHO HE WILLS! HE WOULD EVEN LIFT UP A CORRUPT RULER IN ORDER TO JUDGE A NATION! HE IS IN FULL CONTROL, NOTHING GETS PAST HIM!

Pro 29:2, When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. 

Luk 1:52, HE HAS PUT DOWN THE MIGHTY FROM THEIR THRONES, AND EXALTED THE LOWLY. 

Psa 75:8, FOR IN THE HAND OF THE LORD THERE IS A CUP, And the wine is red; It is fully mixed, and He pours it out; SURELY ITS DREGS SHALL ALL THE WICKED OF THE EARTH DRAIN AND DRINK DOWN.

Job 21:20b, … LET HIM DRINK OF THE WRATH OF THE ALMIGHTY.

The cup in HIS hand is a cup of wrath, a cup of judgement which the wicked will one day drink even to it’s dregs! YET Remember the LORD HIMSELF drank that cup for us, HE took the punishment that we deserved on HIMSELF!

Isa 51:22, Thus says your Lord, The LORD and your God, Who pleads the cause of His people: “See, I HAVE TAKEN OUT OF YOUR HAND THE CUP OF TREMBLING, The dregs of the cup of My fury; YOU SHALL NO LONGER DRINK IT. 

Psalm 65, white as wool!

Psa 65:1-2, …A Song. Praise is awaiting You, O God, in Zion; And to You the vow shall be performed. O YOU WHO HEAR PRAYER, TO YOU ALL FLESH WILL COME.

GOD hears the prayers of all flesh, not only the Jewish nation! THE DAY IS COMING WHEN ALL PEOPLE SHALL COME TO HIS PRESENCE DURING THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF CHRIST! SOME WILL COME IN FEAR GRASPING THE SLEEVE OF A JEWISH MAN TO BRING HIM IN!

Zec 8:22-23, YES, MANY PEOPLES AND STRONG NATIONS SHALL COME TO SEEK THE LORD OF HOSTS IN JERUSALEM, AND TO PRAY BEFORE THE LORD.’ “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘IN THOSE DAYS TEN MEN FROM EVERY LANGUAGE OF THE NATIONS SHALL GRASP THE SLEEVE OF A JEWISH MAN, SAYING, “LET US GO WITH YOU, FOR WE HAVE HEARD THAT GOD IS WITH YOU.” ‘ “

Psa 65:3, INIQUITIES PREVAIL AGAINST ME; AS FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, YOU WILL PROVIDE ATONEMENT FOR THEM. 

Sin and temptation are always present in our lives for we all fall short of the glory of GOD! YET, HE WITH HIS BLOOD HAS WASHED US AND CLEANSED US BEING MADE WHITE AS SNOW!

Isa 1:18, “Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, THEY SHALL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW; Though they are red like crimson, THEY SHALL BE AS WOOL. 

Sin for us maybe easily hidden from men, but in the presence of the LORD WE WEAR OF FILTHINESS AS GARMENTS FOR ALL TO SEE!

Zec 3:4-5, Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, “TAKE AWAY THE FILTHY GARMENTS FROM HIM.” And to him He said, “SEE, I HAVE REMOVED YOUR INIQUITY FROM YOU, AND I WILL CLOTHE YOU WITH RICH ROBES.” AND I SAID, “LET THEM PUT A CLEAN TURBAN ON HIS HEAD.” SO THEY PUT A CLEAN TURBAN ON HIS HEAD, AND THEY PUT THE CLOTHES ON HIM. AND THE ANGEL OF THE LORD STOOD BY.

Psa 65:4, Blessed is the man You choose, And cause to approach You, That he may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Of Your holy temple.

Eph 1:4, JUST AS HE CHOSE US IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 

SEEK HIS GOODNESS, SEEK HIM FOR HE PAID A GREAT PRICE FOR YOU!

Psalm 40, HIS Thoughts for us!

Psa 40:1-3, … I WAITED PATIENTLY FOR THE LORD; AND HE INCLINED TO ME, AND HEARD MY CRY. HE ALSO BROUGHT ME UP OUT OF A HORRIBLE PIT, OUT OF THE MIRY CLAY, AND SET MY FEET UPON A ROCK, AND ESTABLISHED MY STEPS. He has put a new song in my mouth—Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the LORD.

In times of trouble it’s hard, at least for me, to patiently wait on the LORD! I remember that we were bleeding out money and nothing coming in, BUT THEN HE OPENED A DOOR FOR ME! ALL I COULD DO IS PRAISE HIM! THAT WAS TWO YEARS AGO TODAY (OCT 1, 2018)! REMEMBER THE LORD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING AND IS NEVER LATE!

Psa 40:4, BLESSED IS THAT MAN WHO MAKES THE LORD HIS TRUST…

Psa 40:5, MANY, O LORD MY GOD, ARE YOUR WONDERFUL WORKS WHICH YOU HAVE DONE; AND YOUR THOUGHTS TOWARD US CANNOT BE RECOUNTED TO YOU IN ORDER; IF I WOULD DECLARE AND SPEAK OF THEM, THEY ARE MORE THAN CAN BE NUMBERED. 

The LORD is always working and is never sleeping on the job! HIS thoughts for you can’t be counted for HE is always thinking of you!

Jer 29:11, FOR I KNOW THE THOUGHTS THAT I THINK TOWARD YOU, says the LORD, THOUGHTS OF PEACE AND NOT OF EVIL, TO GIVE YOU A FUTURE AND A HOPE. 

We were at the beach recently, and while looking at the sand it brought this beautiful scripture to memory!

Psa 139:17-18, How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! HOW GREAT IS THE SUM OF THEM! IF I SHOULD COUNT THEM, THEY WOULD BE MORE IN NUMBER THAN THE SAND; When I awake, I am still with You.

The Creator of the universal, the Creator of everything seen and unseen knows your name! HE listens to your voice and looks upon you at every moment! HE is always thinking about you and has a plan for you! WOW!

Psa 40:17, But I am poor and needy; YET THE LORD THINKS UPON ME. You are my help and my deliverer; Do not delay, O my God. 

IT’S NOT WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER HIM, BUT WHAT HE HAS TO OFFER US! HE IS LOVE, AND A FATHER TO THOSE THAT PLACE THEIR TRUST IN HIM! BLESSED ARE YOU IF YOU TRUST IN HIM!

Psalm 36, the Evil and the Just!

Psa 36:1-2, … the transgression of the wicked: THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE HIS EYES. FOR HE FLATTERS HIMSELF IN HIS OWN EYES, WHEN HE FINDS OUT HIS INIQUITY AND WHEN HE HATES.

The wicked have no concept of sin, to them it’s just normal life! They lie, steal and cheat, yet in their eyes it’s not wrong as long as they don’t get caught!

Psa 36:3-4, The words of his mouth are WICKEDNESS AND DECEIT; He has ceased to be wise and to do good. HE DEVISES WICKEDNESS ON HIS BED; He sets himself in a way that is not good; He does not abhor evil

BUT THE LORD SEES AND HEARS ALL! ONE DAY, EVEN IDLE WORDS WILL NEED TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR!

Mat 12:36, And I tell you this, YOU MUST GIVE AN ACCOUNT ON JUDGMENT DAY FOR EVERY IDLE WORD YOU SPEAK. 

The day of the LORD comes with wrath against the inhabitants of this world!

Isa 13:11, “I WILL PUNISH THE WORLD FOR ITS EVIL, AND THE WICKED FOR THEIR INIQUITY; I WILL HALT THE ARROGANCE OF THE PROUD, AND WILL LAY LOW THE HAUGHTINESS OF THE TERRIBLE. 

But the righteous who know their GOD say!

Psa 36:7-9, HOW PRECIOUS IS YOUR LOVINGKINDNESS, O GOD! THEREFORE THE CHILDREN OF MEN PUT THEIR TRUST UNDER THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS. THEY ARE ABUNDANTLY SATISFIED WITH THE FULLNESS OF YOUR HOUSE, AND YOU GIVE THEM DRINK FROM THE RIVER OF YOUR PLEASURES. FOR WITH YOU IS THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE; IN YOUR LIGHT WE SEE LIGHT.

It’s just amazing in my eyes how the LORD can love people? We are all wretched and sinful, YET HE shows HIS love for us? Job said,

Job 7:17, “What is man, that You should exalt him, THAT YOU SHOULD SET YOUR HEART ON HIM, 

IT’S NOT ABOUT MAN, IT’S ABOUT THE LORD! FOR HE IS LOVE, HE IS RIGHTEOUS, HE IS JUST! EVIL MEN WILL GET THEIR JUST REWARD, BUT TO THOSE WHO KNOW THEIR GOD HE WILL SPEND ETERNITY IN HIS PRESENCE! HE IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD FOLLOW HIM, SEEK HIM AND PRAISE HIM!

Psalm 23, The SHEPHERD!

Psa 23:1, …THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD; I SHALL NOT WANT. 

In ancient times being called a shepherd was considered to be the lowest of the low. It was an abomination to the Egyptians to be known as a shepherd (Gen 46:34)!

YET, JESUS called himself “THE GOOD SHEPHERD”! The KING OF kings, the CREATOR of the universal willingly took this position because of HIS GREAT LOVE FOR HIS PEOPLE!

Psa 23:2-3, He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.

Sheep do not lie down when they fear, when they feel anxiety or when they feel hungry! BUT, THE GOOD SHEPHERD PROVIDED EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED!

Isa 40:11, HE WILL FEED HIS FLOCK LIKE A SHEPHERD; HE WILL GATHER THE LAMBS WITH HIS ARM, AND CARRY THEM IN HIS BOSOM, AND GENTLY LEAD THOSE WHO ARE WITH YOUNG. 

Psa 23:4, Yea, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL; FOR YOU ARE WITH ME; YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME. 

THE GOOD SHEPHERD protected the sheep with HIS rod and guided them with HIS staff! Notice that we, the sheep, are WALKING THOUGH THE VALLEY NOT STAYING IN IT! Also notice it JUST A SHADOW; FOR JESUS TOOK THE STING OF DEATH ONTO HIMSELF!

Joh 10:11, “I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD. THE GOOD SHEPHERD GIVES HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP. 

Isa 53:6, ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY; WE HAVE TURNED, EVERY ONE, TO HIS OWN WAY; AND THE LORD HAS LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL. 

WITHOUT THE SHEPHERD WE ARE LOST IN OUR OWN SINS, LOST IN OUR OWN DEPRAVITY, CONDEMNED TO DEATH! YET WE HEARD HIS VOICE AND BELIEVED IN HIM! WE TOOK SHELTER IN HIM AND ARE DEPENDENT ON HIM FOR EVERYTHING! WE ARE HIS!

Joh 10:27, MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME.

Psalm 22, Crucified for us!

Psa 22:1-2, MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME? WHY ARE YOU SO FAR FROM HELPING ME, AND FROM THE WORDS OF MY GROANING? O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; And in the night season, and am not silent. 

David indeed felt abandoned by GOD, yet these are the same words JESUS used on the cross of calvary! WE MAY NEVER FULLY UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GOD THE FATHER AND GOD THE SON, BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ETERNITY THE FATHER TURNED HIS BACK ON HIS OWN SON!

2Co 5:21, FOR HE MADE HIM WHO KNEW NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, THAT WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM. 

HE put on HIMSELF the sins of all mankind, and took the punishment, that was clearly meant for us, upon HIMSELF! The heavenly FATHER with his pure eye could no longer see his only begotten SON hanging on the cross!

Hab 1:13, YOU ARE OF PURER EYES THAN TO BEHOLD EVIL, AND CANNOT LOOK ON WICKEDNESS….

Psa 22:6-8, BUT I AM A WORM, AND NO MAN; A REPROACH OF MEN, AND DESPISED BY THE PEOPLE. ALL THOSE WHO SEE ME RIDICULE ME; They shoot out the lip, THEY SHAKE THE HEAD, saying, “HE TRUSTED IN THE LORD, LET HIM RESCUE HIM; LET HIM DELIVER HIM, SINCE HE DELIGHTS IN HIM!”

THE LORD JESUS, HUMBLED HIMSELF FROM THE “I AM” IN EXODUS TO “I AM A WORM”! HE HEALED THE SICK, HE RAISED THE DEAD, HE MADE THE BLIND SEE AND THE DEAF HEAR AND WE CRUCIFIED HIM WITH OUR SINS!

Heb 1:8, But to the Son He says: “YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SCEPTER OF YOUR KINGDOM. 

JESUS SET ASIDE HIS GLORY, HONOR AND RIGTHEOUSNESS TO SAVE THE LOST! FOR WE WERE LOST IN OUR SINS, YET HE PURGE OUR SINS FROM US! IT IS BECAUSE OF OUR SINS THAT HE WAS CRUCIFIED ON THE CROSS!

Psa 22:16, For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. THEY PIERCED MY HANDS AND MY FEET; 

Dan 9:26, ..MESSIAH SHALL BE CUT OFF, BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF;

IT WAS FOR YOU THAT HE WAS CUT OFF!

Psalm 5, the heart of man!

Psa 5:1-3, … GIVE EAR TO MY WORDS, O LORD, CONSIDER MY MEDITATION. GIVE HEED TO THE VOICE OF MY CRY, MY KING AND MY GOD, FOR TO YOU I WILL PRAY. MY VOICE YOU SHALL HEAR IN THE MORNING, O LORD; IN THE MORNING I WILL DIRECT IT TO YOU, AND I WILL LOOK UP. 

EVERY MORNING DAVID ROSE UP TO PRAY TO GOD, TO GIVE HIM THE BEST OF THE DAY! JESUS DID THE SAME! DO WE?

Mar 1:35-36, NOW IN THE MORNING, HAVING RISEN A LONG WHILE BEFORE DAYLIGHT, HE WENT OUT AND DEPARTED TO A SOLITARY PLACE; AND THERE HE PRAYED. And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him.

WHILE JESUS WAS PRAYING PETER AND THE OTHERS WERE SNORING! PRAYER TO JESUS WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HIS PHYSICAL NEEDS!  BUT IN CONTRAST VERSES 4-6!

Psa 5:4-6, FOR YOU ARE NOT A GOD WHO TAKES PLEASURE IN WICKEDNESS, NOR SHALL EVIL DWELL WITH YOU. THE BOASTFUL SHALL NOT STAND IN YOUR SIGHT; YOU HATE ALL WORKERS OF INIQUITY. YOU SHALL DESTROY THOSE WHO SPEAK FALSEHOOD; THE LORD ABHORS THE BLOODTHIRSTY AND DECEITFUL MAN.

As we draw closer to HIM we can clearly see man’s depravity! GOD IS A GOD OF LOVE; THAT IS HIS NATURE! YET SCRIPTURES SAYS THE LORD HATES 7 THINGS!

Pro 6:16-19, These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A PROUD LOOK, A LYING TONGUE, HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD, A HEART THAT DEVISES WICKED PLANS, FEET THAT ARE SWIFT IN RUNNING TO EVIL, A FALSE WITNESS WHO SPEAKS LIES, And ONE WHO SOWS DISCORD AMONG BRETHREN.

The sad reality is this is found in ALL MEN AND WOMEN! No one is exempt from this truth! BUT HE CAN TRANSFORM OUR HEARTS AND MIND; EVEN THE HARDEN PERSON!

Eze 36:26, I WILL GIVE YOU A NEW HEART and PUT A NEW SPIRIT WITHIN YOU; I WILL TAKE THE HEART OF STONE OUT OF YOUR FLESH AND GIVE YOU A HEART OF FLESH.

1Pe 3:12, FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HIS EARS ARE OPEN TO THEIR PRAYERS; BUT THE FACE OF THE LORD IS AGAINST THOSE WHO DO EVIL.”
