Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by
prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your
requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends
all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in
Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4.4-7).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Parents, do not irritate and provoke your children to anger
(do not exasperate them to resentment) , bur rear them
(tenderly) in the training and discipline and the counsel
and admonition of the Lord.
(Ephesians 6.4).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Behold! upon the mountains the feet of him who
brings good tidings, who publishes peace!
Celebrate your feasts, O Judah! Perform your vows.
For the wicked counselor shall no more come
against you or pass through your land; he is
utterly cut off.
( Nahum 1.15)
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet
of him who brings good tidings, who publishes
peace, who brings good tiding of good, who
publishes salvation, who says to Zion, Your God reigns!
( Isaiah 52.7).
And how canĀ men preach unless they are sent?
As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those
who bring glad tidings!
But they have not all heeded the Gospel; for Isaiah
says, Lord, who has believed what he has heard
from us?
So faith comes by hearing, and what is heard comes
by the preaching of Christ.
( Romans 10.15-17).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me
His prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the
power of God Who has saved us and called us to a holy life- not
because anything we have done but because of His own purpose
and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the
beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the
appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, Who has destroyed death
and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel
(The Best News Ever).
(II. Timothy 1.8-10).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
