Looking Unto Jesus

🎵"My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness:
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name."🎵
(Hymn: 'My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less')

Hebrews 12:2 NKJV
looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Luke 24:26
“Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?”

Psalm 69:7,19
Because for Your sake I have borne reproach;
Shame has covered my face.
You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor; My adversaries are all before You.

Philippians. 2:8
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

Hebrews. 2:9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.

Psalm 110:1
The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”

"Looking unto Jesus — αφορωντες. Looking off and on, or from and to; looking off or from the world and all secular concerns to Jesus and all the spiritual and heavenly things connected with him. This is still an allusion to the Grecian games: those who ran were to keep their eyes fixed on the mark of the prize; they must keep the goal in view. The exhortation implies, 1. That they should place all their hope and confidence in Christ, as their sole helper in this race of faith. 2. That they should consider him their leader in this contest and imitate his example."
©Clarke, Adam. "Commentary on Hebrews 12:2".

Longing Bride

♡The Bride Longs for
the Bridegroom and Seeks Him♡

♡The Banquet♡

Song of Solomon 1:2-4 NKJV
² Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— For your love is better than wine.
³ Because of the fragrance of your good ointments, Your name is ointment poured forth; Therefore the virgins love you.
⁴ Draw me away!  We will run after you.  The king has brought me into his chambers.  We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will remember your love more than wine.  Rightly do they love you.

Matthew 25:6-13 NKJV
⁶ “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’  
⁷ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.  
⁸ And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’  
⁹ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’  
¹⁰ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
¹¹ “Afterward the other [foolish] virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’  
¹² But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’
¹³ “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

Psalms 2:12 NKJV
¹² Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

I write this regarding the racist utterance of a political party's councillor in our South African parliament, about the minority 'white' Afrikaners, in our country.

____________________________

Willie Aucamp, the DA’s national spokesperson, said:

“The councillor’s statement, expressing a desire to ‘m*er a boer’ and his utterance that he ‘wants the blood of an Afrikaner’, is a blatant display of hate speech and racism that has no place in our democratic society.

“The EFF is a party of hatred and chaos. They are the ‘breakers’ that seek to sow division and incite violence, undermining the values of unity and respect that our nation is built upon.”

____________________________

See the few seconds clip in this video where the councillor is spewing his vileness in parliament. That's all their party brings to the table, hatred and racism against the minority in this country. (The Democratic Alliance also brought criminal charges against the racist councillor.) I hope and pray that justice shall prevail. Pray with us please, whoever reads here.🙏🕊️

Vileness is Exalted

Psalms 12:1-8 NIV

[1] Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore; those who are loyal have vanished from the human race. 

[2] Everyone lies to their neighbor; they flatter with their lips but harbor deception in their hearts. 

[3] May the Lord silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue— 

[4] those who say, “By our tongues we will prevail; our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?” 

[5] “Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the Lord. “I will protect them from those who malign them.” 

[6] And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times. 

[7] You, Lord, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked, 

[8] who freely strut about when what is vile is honored by the human race.

Psalm 94:15 NIV

Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,🙌🏻😇 and all the upright in heart will follow it.

Renew Your Mind

1 Peter 5:7 CEV
God cares for you, so turn all your worries over to him. 

Philippians 4:13 
Christ gives me the strength to face anything. 

Romans 12:2 
Don't be like the people of this world, but let God change the way you think. Then you will know how to do everything that is good and pleasing to him.

Renew your mind by finding hope in God’s Word.

Prayer:
"Lord, thank you for giving me strength to face all conditions—including anxiety. I pray that whenever I feel anxiety creeping in, I will find strength in the truths in your Word. May your words fill me with hope in anxious moments. May they shine light in the darkness of fear and sorrow. And may their truths chase away every lie, every thought that isn’t from you. In Jesus’s name, I pray. Amen."

(Prayer by American Bible Society)
