Faithful is He Who called you!

[shortlady]

Faithful is He Who called you!

The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those
who seek you.

Psalm 9:9,10 NIV

________________

Nevertheless my lovingkindness
will I not utterly take from him,
nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
My covenant will I not break,
nor alter the thing that is
gone out of my lips.

Psalm 89:33,34 KJV

________________

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.

Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

2 Peter 3:9-12 NASB

God, Whose grace is all sufficient, be glorified!

Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God
is the object of our faith; the only faith that
saves is faith in Him.



The Majesty of the Lord

Our God has said:
"Encourage my people!
Give them comfort.

Speak kindly to Jerusalem
and announce:
Your slavery is past;
your punishment is over.
I, the LORD, made you pay
double for your sins."

Someone is shouting:
"Clear a path in the desert!
Make a straight road
for the LORD our God.

Fill in the valleys;
flatten every hill
and mountain.
Level the rough
and rugged ground.

Then the glory of the LORD
will appear for all to see.
The LORD has promised this!"

Isaiah 40:1-5 CEV
