Moving Shadows

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡
Moving Shadows
Psalms 39:6-7 NLT
We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it.
And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.

♡🩷♡
Psalms 49:10 NLT
Those who are wise must finally die, just like the foolish and senseless, leaving all their wealth behind.

Ecclesiastes 2:18-19 NLT
¹⁸ I came to hate all my hard work here on earth, for I must leave to others everything I have earned.
¹⁹ And who can tell whether my successors will be wise or foolish? Yet they will control everything I have gained by my skill and hard work under the sun. How meaningless!

Luke 12:20 NLT
“But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?’

1 Corinthians 7:31 NLT
Those who use the things of the world should not become attached to them. For this world as we know it will soon pass away.

God our Abba Father
God of Compassion

Psalms 103:13-16 NLT
¹³ The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
¹⁴ For he knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust.
¹⁵ Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die.
¹⁶ The wind blows, and we are goneas though we had never been here.

Malachi 3:17 NLT
“They will be my people,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. “On the day when I act in judgment, they will be my own special treasure. I will spare them as a father spares an obedient child.

Isaiah 40:6-8 NLT
A voice said, “Shout!” I asked, “What should I shout?” “Shout that people are like the grass. Their beauty fades as quickly as the flowers in a field.
The grass withers and the flowers fade beneath the breath of the Lord. And so it is with people.
The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.

James 1:9-11 NLT
Believers who are poor have something to boast about, for God has honored them.
¹⁰ And those who are rich should boast that God has humbled them. They will fade away like a little flower in the field.
¹¹ The hot sun rises and the grass withers; the little flower droops and falls, and its beauty fades away. In the same way, the rich will fade away with all of their achievements.

1 Peter 1:24 NLT
As the Scriptures say, “People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades.

Job 7:9-10 NLT
Just as a cloud dissipates and vanishes, those who die will not come back.
¹⁰ They are gone forever from their home— never to be seen again.

A Blessing

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

🕊A Blessing🕊

May God watch over you and His lamp
shine upon your head and may you,
by His light walk through darkness.
May the friendly counsel of God
be over your dwelling place.
May the Almighty be with you.
May your steps be bathed with cream and
the rock pour out rivers of oil for you!
In the blessed name of our Lord Jesus, Amen.


(Inspired from Job 29:2-6)

Job 29:2-6 NKJV
² “Oh, that I were as in months past, As in the days when God watched over me;
³ When His lamp shone upon my head, And  when by His light I walked through darkness;
Just as I was in the days of my prime, When the friendly counsel of God was over my tent;
When the Almighty was yet with me, When my children were around me;
When my steps were bathed with cream, And the rock poured out rivers of oil for me!

Sorrow

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

Sorrow

Ecclesiastes 7:2-4 NLT
² Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties.
    After all, everyone dies
    so the living should take this to heart.
³ Sorrow is better than laughter,
    for sadness has a refining influence on us.
A wise person thinks a lot about death,
    while a fool thinks only about having a good time.

♡🩷♡
Psalm 90:12
Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
so that we may grow in wisdom.

2 Corinthians 7:10
For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.

2 Samuel 12:13
Then David confessed to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.”

Nathan replied, “Yes, but the Lord has forgiven you, and you won’t die for this sin.

Psalm 32:10
Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the Lord.

Matthew 26:75
Suddenly, Jesus’ words flashed through Peter’s mind: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me.” And he went away, weeping bitterly.

Kingdom of God

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

The Kingdom of God

Mark 4:30-32 NKJV
30 Then He said, “To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it?
31 It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth;
32 but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.”

♡🩷♡
© Fleming, Donald C. "Commentary on Mark 4:32":
"The parable of the mustard seed foretells the expansion of the kingdom, as seen in the remarkable growth of the church. From small beginnings it grows to a vast community that covers the entire earth (Matthew 13:31-32)."

Believers & The World

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

No Unity Between Believers and The World

There can never be unity between Christians and the world because we are not of this world even as our Lord Jesus Christ is not of this world.
Yet I see Christians agreeing with the world who do not believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, that "we are all brothers and sisters, no matter the religion".

As the body of Christ we are one, just as the Father is in Jesus His only begotten Son and Jesus in Him and they are one, we are also one as the Father and the Son is one: that the world may believe that the Father has sent Jesus. The Father loves us as He loves Jesus our Lord and Saviour.

Jesus came from above and is above all. The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in His hands. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them.

A man’s enemies will be those of his own household because of Jesus.

We are in this world but not of it.

♡🩷♡
Philippians 3:18 NKJV
For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

Jude 1:4-7 NKJV
4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;
7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

2 Corinthians 6:14-15 NKJV
14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?
15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?

An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,
And he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.

John 17:21-23 NKJV
21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:
23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

John 3:31 NKJV
He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

John 17:11, 14–15 NKJV
11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.
14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.

Matthew 10:34-36 NKJV
Christ Brings Division
34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
35 For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’;
36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’

Romans 12:9-21 NKJV
Behave Like a Christian
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.

10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;
11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;
13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.
18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
20 Therefore

“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Revelation 2:14, 16-17 NKJV
The Compromising Church
14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
16 Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
17 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” ’
