Ecclesiastes 7:8

Image
Ecclesiastes 7:8 "The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride." Ecclesiastes 7:8 Matthew Henry Commentary 7:7-10 The event of our trials and difficulties is often better than at first we thought. Surely it is better to be patient in spirit, than to be proud and hasty. Be not soon angry, nor quick in resenting an affront. Be not long angry; though anger may come into the bosom of a wise man, it passes through it as a way-faring man; it dwells only in the bosom of fools. It is folly to cry out upon the badness of our times, when we have more reason to cry out for the badness of our own hearts; and even in these times we enjoy many mercies. It is folly to cry up the goodness of former times; as if former ages had not the like things to complain of that we have: this arises from discontent, and aptness to quarrel with God himself.

Proverbs 21:5

Proverbs 21:5 Proverbs 21:5 The thoughts of the diligent  tend only to plenteousness; but of every one  that is  hasty only to want. The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness,.... A man that is thoughtful and studious, and wisely forms schemes in his mind, and diligently pursues them; the issue of it is, generally speaking, prosperity and plenty: such a man is usually thriving and flourishing; and this holds good in things spiritual, as well as in things temporal,  Matthew 25:29 ;  but of everyone that is hasty only to want; that is in haste to be rich, and is resolved to be so, right or wrong, he comes at last to poverty and want: or he who is rash and precipitate in acting, who never thinks before he acts, but rashly engages in an affair; or, however, does not give himself time enough to think it over, but, as soon as ever it has entered his thoughts, he immediately attempts to put it in execution; a man so thoughtless and inconsiderate, so rash and hasty,

Grace So Glorious

Grace So Glorious  Beneath the cross of Jesus Christ No shadow remains for shame to hide Redemption shone for all to see Perfection bore our penalty With a grace so glorious Immortal day the veil was torn When mercy donned a crown of thorns As law gave way to liberty And freedom for humanity With a grace so glorious. Oh, the glory of the Savior's love Surrounding our surrender To know forever we are welcomed home Crowned in glory to glory Worthy is the Lord Of all the glory forever Holy is the Lord Triumphant praises without end All hailing the King of righteousness And every eye beholds the One Our hearts were undeserving of With a grace so glorious O wondrous day when I will see The face of Him who ransomed me I'll fall in worship at His feet And rise to reign eternally In a grace so glorious Oh, in a grace so glorious

Grace Upon Grace

Grace Upon Grace John 1:1-18 ESV 🌿 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.   In him was life,[a] and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him.He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light. The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.   He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own,[b] and his own people[c] did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man

You Can Do It

You Can Do It Philippians 4:12-13 🌿 "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.  I can do all this through him who gives me strength."

Be Strong

Be Strong Joshua 1:7-9 🌿 NIV "Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Worthy, Love, Precious and Enough

Image
You are Precious  But now, this is what the LORD says-- he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush [ 1 ] and Seba in your stead. Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, `Give them up!' and to the south, `Do not hold them back.' Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth--

This Is According To Our Faith

Image
Faith As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region. Matthew 9:27-31

Fixing Our Eyes On Jesus

Image
Endured “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart”  Hebrews 12:1-3

The Joy Of The Lord

The Joy Of The Lord Is Our Strength  Nehemiah 8:9-11 NASB Then Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, "This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn or weep." For all the people were weeping when they heard the words of the law. Then he said to them, "Go, eatof the fat, drink of the sweet, and send portions to him who has nothing prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength." So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, "Be still, for the day is holy; do not be grieved."…

Come Though Fount Lyrics

Image
Come Thou Fount Come thou fount of every blessing
 Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
 Streams of mercy never ceasing
 Call for songs of loudest praise And teach me some melodious sonnet Sung by flaming tongues above
 I'll praise the Mount I'm fixed upon it
 Mount of Thy redeeming love Here I raise my Ebenezer
 Hither by Thy help I come
 Oh, and I hope by Thy good pleasure I Safely to arrive at home Oh Jesus, sought me when a stranger
 Wondering from the fold of God
 He, to rescue me from danger 
Interposed His precious blood So to grace, how great a debtor 
 Daily I'm constrained to be
 And let Thy goodness like a fetter 
Bind my wandering heart to Thee Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
 Prone to leave the God I love
 Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it 
 Seal it for Thy courts above Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it 
 Seal it for Thy courts above
