What a Comfort!

 

What a Comfort!

Here I can only but transliterate from the French Bible into English.  The French Bible says it so well:  (Zechariah 2:12)

“Whoever attacks you will attack what is most precious to me”.  This is the literal translation of what it says in the French Bible.

I thought that personally it was so comforting to that whoever messes up with me will have to face my heavenly Father.

In the context he talks about the nations and Israel, but Israel is God’s people as I am as well.

In this verse I put myself in the place of Israel and the opponents are the nations.

You can also find comfort in this that as a God’s child you are protected like Israel and you are the apple of his eye, the very target of his concern.  It’s only when we see our position with God through the eye of faith that we can appreciate his Presence in our lives.

God ahead you can do that appropriately with some of the promises made to God’s people.

Also, God promises that the nations will be robbed by the ones who serve them.

We are to rejoice because God will be in our midst.  His very Presence with us should always be an occasion for celebration.  What would we be or do without Him.  Don’t ever think you can fight on your own.  Prayer is still the most powerful weapon around.

Even in Psalm 23, it says that he set up a table in the presence of my enemies.  That’s a feast!  You can relax and rejoice because everything will be alright.  He wants to be your comfort and he does not want you to put your enemies above him.  The only one you ought to please is him and not the member of your own family.

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now ...

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it diff...
