The Lord gave me a verse this morning. My spirit leaped when I read it!! Here it is:

Isaiah 56:1
This is what the Lord says:
“Be just and fair to all.
Do what is right and good,
for I am coming soon to rescue you
and to display my righteousness among you.

Amen, Carlee. I sure am glad it says that He will display HIS righteousness. We for sure have none to display. Its ALL about Him.

Love you

Tom

"For I am coming soon to rescue you
and to display my righteousness among you."

Yea Baby, we are gonna be riding THAT wave!!!!!

I think this is a great place to share the two passages He recently gave me!

Psalm 33
18 But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love.
19 He rescues them from death
and keeps them alive in times of famine.

20 We put our hope in the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22 Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
for our hope is in you alone.


Psalm 34
4 I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me.
He freed me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy;
no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
6 In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;
he saved me from all my troubles.
7 For the angel of the Lord is a guard;
he surrounds and defends all who fear him.

8 Taste and see that the Lord is good.
Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!
9 Fear the Lord, you his godly people,
for those who fear him will have all they need.
10 Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry,
but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing.

This is a great verse... I am going to share it with my son...which version is this?

Joyful Susan, it is the New Living Translation. I thought it best conveyed what the Lord was speaking to me through it! God Bless!

Charity, my heart fills with joy when I read those verses!

Thanks I am going to show him it on bible gateway... I think it is for him... and me too...

Joyful, it means so much to me to know that this verse has touched your heart and spoke to your spirit! Thank you Jesus for your Holy Spirit, Who moves in mysterious ways!

Carlee I am not sure if you saw what I posted before about what my son went through (and me too) but the lesson he learned was to do what was right no matter how hard it gets .. Just like Jesus did had to do when they accused him...

anyway my son was innocent..I know without a doubt but was still accused of doing something wrong..and he is still dealing with it now, he has to listen to everyone at school either ask him about it or tease him about it...he is ok though..he is strong and secure.... but soon Jesus will show His rightousness and rescue him (and me too)

So this verse speaks volumes to me...although my son is napping now and i will have to read it later..(baseball game and last game party after)

Carlee dear Sis,

Just beautiful this word from our precious Lord

I am so happy that you are around Carlee, missed my Sis heaps. You have that something that makes you the special sis that you are!!!

ybiC / Paul

Joyful Susan, guess what? I prayed for your son just now, and I asked the Lord if there were any more verses that He would want your son to see. And immediately the "still small voice" said to look up Psalm 26! So here is the whole chapter:

PSALM 26 (New Living Translation)

1 Declare me innocent, O Lord,
for I have acted with integrity;
I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.
2 Put me on trial, Lord, and cross-examine me.
Test my motives and my heart.
3 For I am always aware of your unfailing love,
and I have lived according to your truth.
4 I do not spend time with liars
or go along with hypocrites.
5 I hate the gatherings of those who do evil,
and I refuse to join in with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands to declare my innocence.
I come to your altar, O Lord,
7 singing a song of thanksgiving
and telling of all your wonders.
8 I love your sanctuary, Lord,
the place where your glorious presence dwells.
9 Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners.
Don’t condemn me along with murderers.
10 Their hands are dirty with evil schemes,
and they constantly take bribes.
11 But I am not like that; I live with integrity.
So redeem me and show me mercy.
12 Now I stand on solid ground,
and I will publicly praise the Lord.

Thank you Charity...that is sooo kind of you....I appreciate your kindness and it warms my heart..My son is important to me ( I am sure you understand this you have children) I know Gods hand is on him...

I have had to cut off some of his friendships...well from hanging out with them anyway... he can still be friends but there are limits to what he can do with them...there is a really good reason to believe at least one of them has started drinking...(he actually sent a text on my sons phone and I read it) tonight one of the boys he used to hang out with wanted him to come over.... I told him I wanted to talk to his mother first (I know her and we attend church together, we are friends) but he now says that his mother is going out of town and my son will not be able to come over after all... i think he is afraid of what I will tell his mom....I have told him wwe need to talk about all of this before I will feel comfortable letting my son hang out with hiim any more but he has not made the time to talk to me..... I told my son it is the Lord protecting him...again my son is OK ...he would like to hang out like they used to and play ping pong and other innocent things but I think he knows in his heart his friends are changing....

Thank you for this scripture.... I know he is going to be encouraged...

Wow, Charity, this made me cry. The Lord will reward the faithful. They will see His goodness towards them because they please Him!

Joyful Sue, I am so humbled to know what your son did! He is a mighty one in the Lord, not waivering in the truth against such peer pressure!
