Isaiah 55: His Thoughts and Ways are Higher Than Ours

Isaiah 55:8-9 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My WAYs,” declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My WAYs are higher than your WAYs & My thoughts than your thoughts. Exodus 33:13 Now if indeed I have found favor in Your sight, please let me know Your WAYs, that I may know You & find favor in Your sight. Remember that this nation is Your people. Psalm 103:7 He revealed His WAYs to Moses, His DEEDs to the people of Israel. Psalm 147:19 He declares His WORD to Jacob, His statutes & judgments to Israel. — God reveals to those who diligently seek Him, His ways & His will. God’s ways & His word manifest  Who He is, What He is like, & His purposes! Those who fully seek to know His ways find His spiritual presence. To truly discern God’s ways, we must look past this world into the spiritual one! God calls us to walk in His Ways, & at the heart of Him is the cross. We can spend our lives seeking to experience the DEEDs of God as He showed the people of Israel. Here we see the Lord will bless us with many good things, because God is good. Yet, for those who seek His presence, will never settle here. The only thing that will suffice is to know Him & His ways. It is here where We learn to embrace the loss of worldly things that we might gain A true relationship with Our Savior, Jesus Christ! We stand on Holy ground, so remove your Sandals. Love Mel

Romans 8: He is the Firstborn Among Many Brothers and Sisters

Romans 8:29 For God knew his people in advance, & He chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers & sisters. Matthew 25:40 The King shall answer & say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me. —So many hurting people in this world! And hurting people hurt people & God! We are His brothers & sisters! We are His children! Think about that just for a moment! — John 1:12 To all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God. Romans 8:1 There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Colossians 2:6 Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him. —  If our faith is based on human performance then it is destined to fail. We must learn to walk in Him! We will learn this when we realize who’s we belong to! For as little children, we learn to love & not hurt! Because the hurt with Him no longer hurts, for we know with Him we are safe! Love Mel

Philippians 3:13: Forget What Lies Behind and Press Forward to What is Ahead

Phil 3:13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind & straining forward to what lies ahead. Isaiah 43:18 Forget what happened in the past, & do not dwell on events from long ago. 2 Cor 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.  Isaiah 40:31 Those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run & not grow weary; they will walk & not faint. —In life We make a lot of mistakes, the key is always choose to move forward & not repeat them! Our God is the wind beneath our wings, He renews our strength, when we choose to walk hand n hand with the Lord! 
Quote, Elliott’s Commentary, “For the faithful there is no failure, and faith knows no weariness.” Love Mel

Exodus 34: God is Merciful and Gracious

Ex 34:6 The Lord, the Lord God, merciful & gracious, longsuffering, & abounding in goodness & truth. Psalm 145:9 The Lord is good to all, & His tender mercies are over all His works. Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste & see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him. Psalm 107:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. 1 Chron 16:34 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. — Forever is the Love & Mercies of our God! Now if that isn’t good, I don’t know what is!

Hebrews 9: Christ is the Eternal High Priest

Hebr 9:11-14 When Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater & more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; & not through the blood of goats & calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats & bulls & the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God. Matt 8:17 Himself took our infirmities, & bore our sicknesses. — The meaning for Salvation is being saved or protected from harm, evil & destruction. Christ is our savior & He is the Lamb of God who obtained eternal redemption for us all. Jesus redeemed & released us from the power of sin. He hears our prayers & healed us. Sin has a way of keeping us away from God & needs to be done away with. This is where our redeemer comes in! He has made the most perfect way back to the Father! —John 14:7 Jesus answered, “I am the way, the truth, & the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” — Praise God! Love Mel
