Isaiah 25, The veil has lifted!

Isa 25:1, O LORD, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

From the mist of tribulation of the world, Praise shall break out exalting the LORD! Isa 24:14.

Isa 25:3, THEREFORE THE STRONG PEOPLE WILL GLORIFY YOU; THE CITY OF THE TERRIBLE NATIONS WILL FEAR YOU.

No more unbelief, no more atheist; The fear of the LORD shall be known to all!

Isa 25:7, AND HE WILL DESTROY ON THIS MOUNTAIN THE SURFACE OF THE COVERING CAST OVER ALL PEOPLE, AND THE VEIL THAT IS SPREAD OVER ALL NATIONS. 

The veil that covers the eyes of all none believers will be destroyed

2Co 3:15-16, BUT EVEN TO THIS DAY, WHEN MOSES IS READ, A VEIL LIES ON THEIR HEART. NEVERTHELESS WHEN ONE TURNS TO THE LORD, THE VEIL IS TAKEN AWAY.

Isa 25:8, HE WILL SWALLOW UP DEATH FOREVER, AND THE LORD GOD WILL WIPE AWAY TEARS FROM ALL FACES; THE REBUKE OF HIS PEOPLE HE WILL TAKE AWAY FROM ALL THE EARTH; FOR THE LORD HAS SPOKEN.

The tribulation is over and the LORD Reigns on the earth! No more death, no more fear; and HE will wipe away our tears of pure joy from our eyes! THIS IS OUR GOD!

Rev 21:4, AND GOD WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES; THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH, NOR SORROW, NOR CRYING. THERE SHALL BE NO MORE PAIN, FOR THE FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY.” 

Isa 25:9, AND IT WILL BE SAID IN THAT DAY: “BEHOLD, THIS IS OUR GOD; WE HAVE WAITED FOR HIM, AND HE WILL SAVE US. THIS IS THE LORD; WE HAVE WAITED FOR HIM; WE WILL BE GLAD AND REJOICE IN HIS SALVATION.” 

The Jewish nation will come to know that HE whom they have rejected (Acts 4:11), JESUS, is their long-awaited MESSIAH.

Zec 12:10, …THEN THEY WILL LOOK ON ME WHOM THEY PIERCED. YES, THEY WILL MOURN FOR HIM AS ONE MOURNS FOR HIS ONLY SON, AND GRIEVE FOR HIM AS ONE GRIEVES FOR A FIRSTBORN. 

Imagine denying HIM for almost 2000 years only to find out that HE is their MESSIAH! Yes they will mourn for they pierced their own Messiah out of ignorance and pride, but now their eyes are now opened! Remember, GOD uses everything, even their ignorance, to bring salvation to the world! THANK YOU, LORD!

Isaiah 15, Judgement has come to MOAB!

Isa 15:1, THE BURDEN AGAINST MOAB. BECAUSE IN THE NIGHT Ar of MOAB IS LAID WASTE AND DESTROYED, Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste And destroyed, 

The wrath of GOD has come to MOAB, which is modern day Jordan, South East of Israel. While everyone was sleeping destruction came!

Isa 15:2-3, He has gone up to the temple and Dibon, TO THE HIGH PLACES TO WEEP. Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba; On all their heads will be baldness, And every beard cut off. In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth; … EVERYONE WILL WAIL, WEEPING BITTERLY.

Jer 48:42, AND MOAB SHALL BE DESTROYED AS A PEOPLE, BECAUSE HE EXALTED HIMSELF AGAINST THE LORD. 

No man no country can exalt themselves before GOD and live! When judgement comes the only thing people can do is cry.

Heb 10:31, IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD. 

Isa 15:6-7, FOR THE WATERS OF NIMRIM WILL BE DESOLATE, FOR THE GREEN GRASS HAS WITHERED AWAY; THE GRASS FAILS, THERE IS NOTHING GREEN. THEREFORE THE ABUNDANCE THEY HAVE GAINED, AND WHAT THEY HAVE LAID UP, THEY WILL CARRY AWAY TO THE BROOK OF THE WILLOWS.

There is nothing left for MOAB, No water, no vegetation everything has withered away! THOSE WHO SURVIVE shall carry away what little they have left and flee away!

Isa 15:9, FOR THE WATERS OF DIMON WILL BE FULL OF BLOOD; BECAUSE I WILL BRING MORE UPON DIMON, LIONS UPON HIM WHO ESCAPES FROM MOAB, AND ON THE REMNANT OF THE LAND.”

The refugees who survive the initial attack will be killed! Complete and utter destruction! As Judgement came to Moab, so it must come here as well! The day of the LORD comes, and there is only one way to escape!

1Th 5:9, FOR GOD DID NOT APPOINT US TO WRATH, BUT TO OBTAIN SALVATION THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, 

Remember GOD is love, but HE is also JUST! HE has given every sinner a way of salvation through HIS SON who died for us!

Rom 5:8-9, BUT GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. MUCH MORE THEN, HAVING NOW BEEN JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, WE SHALL BE SAVED FROM WRATH THROUGH HIM.

Get right with the LORD for HE is coming!

Isaiah 5, What more could HE have done for us?

Isa 5:1-2, Now let me sing to my Well-beloved A song of my Beloved regarding HIS vineyard: MY WELL-BELOVED HAS A VINEYARD On a very fruitful hill. He dug it up and cleared out its stones, And planted it with the choicest vine. He built a tower in its midst, And also made a winepress in it; SO HE EXPECTED IT TO BRING FORTH GOOD GRAPES, BUT IT BROUGHT FORTH WILD GRAPES.

The LORD has a vineyard, verse 7 “ISRAEL”, who had so much advantages than any other! The LORD took care of it and protected it, BUT IT PRODUCED POISONOUS GRAPES?

Isa 5:3-4, “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, JUDGE, PLEASE, BETWEEN ME AND MY VINEYARD. WHAT MORE COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO MY VINEYARD THAT I HAVE NOT DONE IN IT? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, Did it bring forth wild grapes?

What more could GOD had done for Israel, and even us gentiles? So many people blame GOD, yet do not consider what HE has done for us! HE allowed HIMSELF to be crucified on that cross in order pay our debt “sin”; Yet so many ignore HIM and even hate HIM?

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

Isa 5:5, And now, PLEASE LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I WILL DO TO MY VINEYARD: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down. 

GOD is love and HE loves HIS people, but HE is also JUST! HE sent Assyria to judge Israel!

Isa 10:6, I will send him against an ungodly nation, And AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF MY WRATH I WILL GIVE HIM CHARGE, To seize the spoil, to take the prey, And to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 

Israel rejected GOD, wild grapes, and then rejected their own MESSIAH JESUS. GOD’s wrath upon HIS own people is hot, YET HE SHALL PRESERVE HIS REMNANT! Rom 9:27.

Isa 5:13, THEREFORE MY PEOPLE HAVE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE…

Even though we may not see GOD’s physical presence; KNOW THAT HE IS ALWAYS THERE! YOU ARE NOT FOOLING HIM FOR HE SEES ALL YOU DO AND KNOWS YOUR THOUGHTS!

Hos 4:6, MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. BECAUSE YOU HAVE REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I also will reject you from being priest for ME; BECAUSE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THE LAW OF YOUR GOD, I ALSO WILL FORGET YOUR CHILDREN. 

WHAT MORE COULD HE HAVE DONE FOR US?

Isaiah 3, The wrath of our Loving GOD!

Isa 3:1-3, For behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, TAKES AWAY FROM JERUSALEM AND FROM JUDAH The stock and the store, The whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water; The mighty man and the man of war, The judge and the prophet, And the diviner and the elder; The captain of fifty and the honorable man, The counselor and the skillful artisan, And the expert enchanter.

Because of sin and corruption in Israel, the LORD not only took away their provisions, but their leaders, prophets, judges, honorable men, counselor etc.. 

2Ki 24:14, Also he carried into captivity all Jerusalem: all the captains and all the mighty men of valor, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths. NONE REMAINED EXCEPT THE POOREST PEOPLE OF THE LAND. 

Isa 3:4, 6, “I WILL GIVE CHILDREN TO BE THEIR PRINCES, AND BABES SHALL RULE OVER THEM…. When a man takes hold of his brother In the house of his father, saying, “YOU HAVE CLOTHING; YOU BE OUR RULER, And let these ruins be under your power,” 

Instead of wise competent leaders, they are replaced by children without understanding. They think only of themselves rather than others! Like our leaders today!

Ecc 10:16, WOE TO YOU, O LAND, when your king is a child, And your princes feast in the morning! 

YES, the LORD is loving, but HE is also just and HE will reward you according to what you have sown! Whether good or bad!

Isa 3:10-11, “SAY TO THE RIGHTEOUS THAT IT SHALL BE WELL WITH THEM, FOR THEY SHALL EAT THE FRUIT OF THEIR DOINGS. WOE TO THE WICKED! IT SHALL BE ILL WITH HIM, FOR THE REWARD OF HIS HANDS SHALL BE GIVEN HIM.

Judgement is coming, and we will receive what we deserve; for HE keeps accurate records of all we say, do and think!

2Co 5:10, For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 

Isa 3:25-26, Your men shall fall by the sword, And your mighty in the war. Her gates shall lament and mourn, And she being desolate shall sit on the ground.

Judgement came for Israel by the hands of Assyria, and it’s also coming here to our country. For the cry slaughtered children, and the corruption of this country has reached HIS ears! Remember HE is loving, but also Just!

Proverbs 17, Love covers up sin!

Pro 17:1, Better is a dry morsel with quietness, Than a house full of feasting with strife. 

Imagine a home filled with hatred, envy, and strife; not even the best food in the world would taste good in the mist of these people! A dry piece of bread in quietness / peace is by far more enjoyable!

Pro 15:17, Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, Than a fatted calf with hatred. 

Psa 37:16-17, A LITTLE THAT A RIGHTEOUS MAN HAS IS BETTER THAN THE RICHES OF MANY WICKED. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, BUT THE LORD UPHOLDS THE RIGHTEOUS.

Pro 17:3, The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, BUT THE LORD TESTS THE HEARTS. 

As fire refines both silver and gold, the LORD test the heart of his servants! Do we serve to glorify the LORD or ourselves? Our works will be tested by the LORD for HE seeks true faith in HIM!

1Pe 1:7, THAT THE GENUINENESS OF YOUR FAITH, BEING MUCH MORE PRECIOUS than gold that perishes, THOUGH IT IS TESTED BY FIRE, MAY BE FOUND TO PRAISE, HONOR, AND GLORY AT THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST, 

1Co 3:13, EACH ONE’S WORK WILL BECOME CLEAR; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; AND THE FIRE WILL TEST EACH ONE’S WORK, OF WHAT SORT IT IS. 

Pro 17:9, He who covers a transgression seeks love, BUT HE WHO REPEATS A MATTER SEPARATES FRIENDS. 

What type of friend are you? Do you spread rumors of someone or do you cover/hide someone’s shame?

1Pe 4:8, And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “LOVE WILL COVER A MULTITUDE OF SINS.” 

Pro 17:27-28, He who has knowledge spares his words, And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit. Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.

I’m reminded of this quote from Abraham Lincoln, “It is better to keep your mouth shut and let them think you a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt”!  SOMETIMES IT’S JUST BEST TO KEEP QUIET AND LISTEN; BE THERE FOR A SOMEONE IN THEIR TIME OF NEED!

Jas 1:19, SO THEN, MY BELOVED BRETHREN, LET EVERY MAN BE SWIFT TO HEAR, SLOW TO SPEAK, slow to wrath;

Psalm 145, Great is our GOD!

Psa 145:1-2, … I will extol YOU, MY GOD, O KING; And I will bless YOUR name forever and ever. Every day I will bless YOU, And I will praise YOUR name forever and ever.

This is the last Psalm attributed to king David, a Psalm of praise and adoration of HIM who is worthy to be praised! David, being an earthly king, knew that GOD, his GOD, is the true KING of kings! He will bless and praise daily without end!

Rev 19:16, And HE has on HIS robe and on HIS thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Psa 145:3, GREAT IS THE LORD, AND GREATLY TO BE PRAISED; AND HIS GREATNESS IS UNSEARCHABLE. 

When we consider HIS creation all around us, the stars and galaxies, the mighty sea, our own bodies etc; we are left in awe of HIS greatness! YET, this is only a glimpse of HIS power for we only see the mere edges of it!

Job 26:12-14, HE stirs up the sea with HIS power, And by HIS understanding HE breaks up the storm. By HIS Spirit HE adorned the heavens; HIS hand pierced the fleeing serpent. INDEED THESE ARE THE MERE EDGES OF HIS WAYS, AND HOW SMALL A WHISPER WE HEAR OF HIM! BUT THE THUNDER OF HIS POWER WHO CAN UNDERSTAND?”

Psa 145:8-9, The LORD IS GRACIOUS AND FULL OF COMPASSION, SLOW TO ANGER AND GREAT IN MERCY. The LORD IS GOOD TO ALL, AND HIS TENDER MERCIES ARE OVER ALL HIS WORKS.

Even though, for us, sometimes it’s hard to see, and impossible to understand the trials that happen in our lives? why did I lose my job, why this why that, why a precious life was taken? YET, KNOW THE LORD IS GOOD TO ALL AND WHAT HE DOES, EVEN THOUGH WE DON’T UNDERSTAND, WAS FOR THE BEST!

Rom 8:28, AND WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD, TO THOSE WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.

Psa 147:5, Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; HIS UNDERSTANDING IS INFINITE. 

Psa 145:18, THE LORD IS NEAR TO ALL WHO CALL UPON HIM, TO ALL WHO CALL UPON HIM IN TRUTH. 

HE is like the air that surrounds us, always present for HE has said, “I SHALL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU”! HE hears are prayers, and knows the sadness in our hearts!

Psa 145:21, MY MOUTH SHALL SPEAK THE PRAISE OF THE LORD, AND ALL FLESH SHALL BLESS HIS HOLY NAME FOREVER AND EVER. 

Happen what may, David made his choice to follow the LORD, Have you?

Psalm 144, our Eternal GOD!

Psa 144:1, …Blessed be the LORD my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle

David was a man of war whose strength came from the LORD. He battled many armies and fought a giant with success, but David lost the battle with the tempter himself! Know it or not, but we are in a battle with an unseen enemy!

2Sa 11:2, Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. AND FROM THE ROOF HE SAW A WOMAN BATHING, AND THE WOMAN WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL TO BEHOLD. 

HIS word trains us for the spiritual battle we have daily! Remember even wise Job wasn’t immune to the lust of the eyes!

Job 31:1, “I HAVE MADE A COVENANT WITH MY EYES; WHY THEN SHOULD I LOOK UPON A YOUNG WOMAN? 

1Pe 5:8, BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR. 

Psa 144:3, LORD, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him? 

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

It’s not about who we are, but about who HE is! HE is a GOD of love who made man in HIS image and set HIS heart on him!

Rom 5:8, But God demonstrates His own love toward us, IN THAT WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. 

Psa 144:4, Man is like a breath; His days are like a passing shadow. 

While HE is eternal without beginning or end, we are but a breath, here one day and gone the next!

Jas 4:14, whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 

Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed to anyone and it’s our choice how we live our lives! This world offers very little, but HE offers eternity with HIM! Choose wisely for we have more time behind us than before us!

Joh 5:24, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

Psalm 139, HE knows you more than you know yourself!

Psa 139:1-4, … O LORD, YOU HAVE SEARCHED ME AND KNOWN ME. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.

GOD knows everything about you for HE has searched you heart and all your thoughts are before HIM! YOU CAN’T HIDE ANYTHING FROM HIM FOR HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT YOU AND ME!

Psa 139:6, SUCH KNOWLEDGE IS TOO WONDERFUL FOR ME; IT IS HIGH, I CANNOT ATTAIN IT.

Such knowledge is far beyond human abilities; for HE knows us, and everyone else in the world, more than we know about ourselves. There are trillions of stars in the universe, Yet HE knows each one by name!

Psa 147:4, HE COUNTS THE NUMBER OF THE STARS; HE CALLS THEM ALL BY NAME. 

Psa 139:7-10, WHERE CAN I GO FROM YOUR SPIRIT? OR WHERE CAN I FLEE FROM YOUR PRESENCE? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, EVEN THERE YOUR HAND SHALL LEAD ME, AND YOUR RIGHT HAND SHALL HOLD ME.

GOD is like the air that surrounds us constantly giving breath to our bodies. Yet, we don’t perceive the air before us nor even think of it, but we know it’s there! HE is like that, always before yet we don’t perceive HIM!

Job 9:11, If He goes by me, I do not see Him; If He moves past, I DO NOT PERCEIVE HIM; 

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.

HE loves us so much that HE can’t take HIS eyes off of us! HE is constantly thinking of us, and even though we don’t perceive HIM know that HE is there!

Zep 3:17, THE LORD YOUR GOD IN YOUR MIDST, THE MIGHTY ONE, WILL SAVE; HE WILL REJOICE OVER YOU WITH GLADNESS, HE WILL QUIET YOU WITH HIS LOVE, HE WILL REJOICE OVER YOU WITH SINGING.” 

Scripture says, what is man that YOU are mindful of him? It’s not who we are but who HE is! HE IS THE GOD OF LOVE AND COMPASSION NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO FAITH IN HIM! BEAUTIFUL PSALM! THANK YOU LORD!

Psalm 136, For HIS mercy endures forever!

Psa 136:1a, OH, GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD!

This is a statement of fact; HE is and HE does good! GOD is love, and HE loves us!

1Jn 4:16, AND WE HAVE KNOWN AND BELIEVED THE LOVE THAT GOD HAS FOR US. GOD IS LOVE, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. 

Psa 136:1b, … FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER. 

This phrase is repeated 26 times in this psalm, one for every verse! GOD is good and rich in mercy clearly seen in the work of HIS SON; for JESUS suffered on the cross for our sins!

Eph 2:4-5, BUT GOD, WHO IS RICH IN MERCY, BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT LOVE WITH WHICH HE LOVED US, even when we were dead in trespasses, MADE US ALIVE TOGETHER WITH CHRIST (by grace you have been saved),

Psa 136:2-3, Oh, give thanks TO THE GOD OF gods! …. Oh, give thanks TO THE LORD OF lords! FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER:

This is HIS title, HE IS THE GOD OF gods, LORD OF lords, KING OF kings!

Rev 19:16, And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. 

Deu 10:17, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD is God of gods AND LORD of lords, THE GREAT GOD, MIGHTY AND AWESOME, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. 

And the day is coming, and almost here that HE will be the KING OF ALL THE EARTH!

Zec 14:9, AND THE LORD SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH…

Psa 136:26, OH, GIVE THANKS TO THE GOD OF HEAVEN! FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER. 

In everything we should always give thanks to HIM for HE is good and HIS mercies will endure forever, and ever! TURN BACK TO THE LORD FOR HE IS NEAR, TURN BACK TO THE LORD FOR HE LOVES YOU, AND IS WAITING FOR YOU!

Joe 2:12-13, “Now, therefore,” says the LORD, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm.

Psalm 119:161-176, the good SHEPHERD!

Shin ש, 161-168

Psa 119:164, SEVEN TIMES A DAY I PRAISE YOU, Because of YOUR RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENTS.

It’s a good thing to pray frequently, but not when it’s done in a legalistic way! Not in bondage, “I HAVE TO PRAY”, But in love! Talk to the LORD always in your mind, give thanks, ask for help even for the small things! HE IS ALWAYS LISTENING TO HIS CHILDREN!

1Th 5:16-18, REJOICE ALWAYS, PRAY WITHOUT CEASING, In Everything Give Thanks; FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS FOR YOU.

Psa 119:165, Great peace have those who love Your law, And nothing causes them to stumble.

No one likes trials, but the beauty in them is that you confirm that HE IS! THERE IS GREAT PEACE IN KNOWING THAT THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS IS THERE WALKING NEXT TO YOU, AND LISTENING!

Php 4:7, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Tau ת, 169-176

Psa 119:169, Let my cry come before You, O LORD; GIVE ME UNDERSTANDING ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.

The world is trying indoctrinate us and our kids in the ways of the world! YOU CAN CHOSE YOUR GENDER, ABORTION IS GOOD IT’S NOT A BABY, THERE IS NO GOD! BUT, the psalmist wants HIS understanding, HIS word, HIS ways! Stop listening to the world, and listen to HIM!

Rom 12:2, AND DO NOT BE CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. 

Psa 119:176, I HAVE GONE ASTRAY LIKE A LOST SHEEP; SEEK YOUR SERVANT, For I do not forget Your commandments. 

Know it or not, but all of us have gone astray, Yet, HE seeks HIS lost sheep to bring them home! HE IS THE GOOD SHEPHERD!

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. 

IT COST HIM EVERYTHING, but did it knowing that GREAT JOY WILL COME OUT OF IT!
