Weekly Verse

Unknown    Monday, April 18, 2011    No comments
"I will Praise you, Lord, with all my heart. I will tell all the miracles you have done.
I will be happy because of you; God most high, I will sing praises to your name.
My enemies turn back; they are overwhelmed and die because of you.
you have heard my complaint; you sat on your throne and judged by what was right.
You spoke strongly against the foreign nations and destroyed the wicked; you wiped out their names forever and ever.
The enemy is gone forever. You destroyed their cities; no one even remembers them.
But the Lord rules forever. He sits on his throne to judge,
and he will judge the world in fairness; he will decide what is fair for the nations.
The Lord defends those who suffer; he defends them in times of trouble.
Those who know the Lord trust him, because he will not leave those who come to him."
Psalm 9:1-10

This verse tells me that God will judge the world through fairness, those who hurt his children and curse them will have a consequence that will hurt them. The evil will be treated like it should be and the ones who trust the Lord will be treated and judged with kindness and pureness. They will not get hurt whereas those who try to hurt us will get hurt instead. It also tells me that I can leave the problem to God and he will take care of it, whether it is punishing those who destroy the good or rewarding those who do good an trust in him. If i am in a situation where I think I can handle or take care of it but know that the outcome could be bad, I know just by reading this passage that I can just leave the work to God and he will take care of it.

If you have a favourite passage or verse in the bible that you would like to share with me and those who view my blog, then you can post it in a comment and maybe even reflect on it. I would love to see many verses because it would just make me so proud that many people have a verse in the bible that helps them when their down or helps them in general.

Offer your Lives to God

Unknown    Wednesday, April 13, 2011    No comments
"So brothers and sisters, since God has shown us great mercy, I beg you to offer your lives as a living sacrifice to him. Your offering must be only for God and pleasing to him, which is the spiritual way for you to worship. Do not be shaped by this world; instead be changed within by a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you; you will know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect."
Romans 12:1-2

What Do you Think?

I am going to start something new called the "Verse of the Week" where i will post a verse every week and reflect on what i think it means and you can do the same by commenting and adding to my reflection using yours. I would also like it if you commented whether you thought this was a good idea right below this post.

This weekly verse:
"I look up to the hills, but where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
He will not let you be defeated. He who guards you never sleeps.
He who guards Isreal never rests or sleeps.
The Lord guards you. The Lord is the shade that protects you from the sun.
The sun cannot hurt you during the day, and the moon cannot hurt you at night.
The Lord will protect you from all dangers; he will guard your life.
The Lord will guard you as you come and go, both now and forever."

Psalms 121

I love this passage, it comforts me in times when i am scared or lost. This verse tells you that God is always there for you, even when you had lost all hope, even when you have nowhere to go. It also tells me that whenever i need an answer to anything i can always ask God and he will provide the perfect answer for me. He is also like our personal invincible bodyguard too, as it stated "He will not let you be defeated" "The Lord is the shade that protects you from the sun" "The Lord will protect you from all dangers".  Isn't that just amazing and comforting? We can always rely on God.

Know that you have the Lord God in your hearts

Well how do you know?

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.   John 1:12-13

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.
Revelation 3:20

Now's the time

I wanted to create a christian group to help me and send in evidence from the bible to prove to others that the Word of God is True. also to prove that Jesus is the Son Of God and the Messiah that the Jews are still waiting for and that he has already come and is coming again. Even though I'm only 13, ever since I was little i have always wanted to do this and i have prayed for years for God to give me the courage and wisdom to do this. And here i am. and i thank him now for this.

When I say "God", what first comes to mind?

Results:

  1. Guide
  2. Love
  3. Father
  4. Peace
  5. Redeemer
  6. Friend
  7. Sacrifice
  8. Creator
If this is true, then why don't others see this? We need to show them that they are lost as sheep and that they need a Shepard to lead them, the Lord our God, they need to find those green pastures and still waters where there is no chaos and confusion, where there is peace and love, where there is happiness and truth.

Always be ready to give an answer

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
1 Peter 3:15
