scriptures
tuesday's scripture: for if those who live by law are heirs, faith has no value and the promise is worthless.(romans 4: 14, niv)
today's scripture: when abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am God Almighty; walk before me and be blameless." (genesis 17: 1, niv)
questions about the scripture:
for tuesday...
what does this scripture say to you???
in the old testament, where was the first mention of "the promise" (the coming of Christ)???
for today...
why was it important that abram (abraham) be blameless (righteous)???
what covenant was made with abraham that day???
what transpired in the house of abraham as a result of that covenant???
my answers to monday's questions:
for HE has not despised or disdained
the suffering of the afflicted one;
HE has not hidden HIS face from him
but has listened to his cry for help.
(psalm 22:24, niv)
why is it always pointed out that GOD is a GOD for all people including the seemingly least??? i believe it is pointed out firstly because it is true!!! however, i also think that GOD wants us all to know through HIS word that though we all have different lots in life on earth that regardless of whether we are rich or poor, sick or well, kings or slaves, etc... in heaven there is no caste system (if you will). HE loves His children the same and unconditionally!!!
are the least of these more blessed than those who are wealthy in all areas such as health, money, education, etc...??? "the least of these" have the propensity to be more blessed by GOD because we have a greater emptiness for HIM to fill with His SPIRIT. it is more difficult for those who are wealthy (in whatever worldly way) to have as great a need for GOD because they are so full of things and self... at least that is what i have noticed and believe.
memory of the day:
one of my dearest friends came over
and visited last night: i enjoyed it so much:)
saying grace:
God you are everything to me. i love You with all my heart and soul. thank you for answered prayer!!! just show me what i am supposed to do and when i am supposed to do it. for You know better than i...
here am i, send me:D
please forgive me my sinful nature. i try but know that i fall short of blamelessness. i am so grateful for your gift of the HOLY SPIRIT as Your SPIRIT is never failing:)
help me to forgive and point out to me those that i need to forgive that i may walk in YOUR light.
HEAVENLY FATHER, i lift these especially as prayers of intercession.
