Jeremiah 17:7 – “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord.” “Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.” (Psalm 2:12) “Blessed is the man who has made the Lord his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.” (Psalm 40:4) […]
Isaiah 30:18 – “Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait for Him.” When we ride behind a public bus we see people running […]
Proverbs 28:14 – “Happy is the man who is always reverent, But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.” One man in the Bible is mentioned a few times for having a hardened heart: the Egyptian Pharaoh who repeatedly rejected Moses’ pleas to release the people of Israel who were in slavery. Pharaoh’s […]
1 Peter 1:3 – “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” What a day of rejoicing it would have been!
