PSALM 37:23-24 (2023)

PSALM 37:23-24

Our steps are made firm by the Lord, 

when he delights in our way;

though we stumble, we shall not fall headlong,
for the Lord holds us by the hand.

---- mine,

I want you to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I, the Lord your God am with you always. Fear nothing. Why do you allow your imagination to distress you with foolish thoughts? Turn resolutely away from anything that fills you with anxiety and worry. Trust in Me when I say that I have taken you by the hand and even though you may stumble I will not permit you to fall. Be of good cheer, ---- my own, for I have overcome the world. 

MARK 12:17 (2023)

 MARK 12:17

Jesus said to them, ‘Give to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’ And they were utterly amazed at him.

---- mine,

To the Lord your God, to the Creator of the heavens and the earth, to the Word of Eternal Truth and to the Life of God and the Love of God in the Holy Spirit you are required to give praise, glory, thanksgiving, and worship with every breath you breathe until the hour when your life on earth will come to an end. Eternal life with the Triune God is yours only if you give to God to whom you owe your life, who sustains you, delivers you, redeems you, sanctifies you, and breathes His life-giving breath in you keeping you alive. So what must you render to God and what is it that you should render to those in authority over you? Be aware of God's presence in-dwelling in you and let every breath you breathe glorify God. Trust Me with all your heart, discern and submit gladly and wholeheartedly to the will of God in everything and you will be utterly amazed by the love of God and the power of God.
