What A Wonderful World

​

I see trees of green, red roses too

​

I see them bloom for me and you

​

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

​

I see skies of blue and clouds of white

​

The bright blessed day and the dark sacred night

​

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

​

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky

​

Are also on the faces of people going by

​

And I see friends shaking hands, Sayin 'how do you do?'

​

They're really saying 'I love you'

​

I hear babies crying, i watch them grow

​

They'll learn much more than i'll ever know

​

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

This is Christ's law of forgivenes as taught in the gospels(Mat6:14, Mark11:25). We also see it in the Lord's Prayer-“Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.”...-NLT Life Application Bible..........Ephesians4:31,32 “Get rid of all bitterness, passion, and anger. No more shouting or insults, no more hateful feelings of any sort. Instead, be kind and tender-hearted to one another, and forgive one another, as God has forgiven you in Christ.”

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted...-Albert Einstein......Psalm139:1-3 “O Lord You have examined my heart and know everything about me.-You go before me and follow me. You place Your Hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand.- You made all the delicate inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.-How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!”

​

#0001825

Keep your relationship with the Lord vibrant and alive. This means keeping touch on a daily basis--by reading His Word, opening your heart to Him in prayer, and confessing your sins and your weaknesses...-Sala, Refuge And Strength..........1Thess5:22 “Avoid every kind of evil.”

​

#0001826

Don't allow yourself to be vulnerable. When you let down your guard, you are a prime candidate for failure.

Don't be one of them...-Sala, Refuge And Strength.......Jeremiah17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.”

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause...-Pres Theodore Roosevelt........1Cor9:25,26 "Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever."

It is Satan's practice to convince people that what God calls good is actually evil and what God declares evil is, in fact, good. Satan persuaded Adam and Eve that their disobedience, rather than their obedience, would guarantee a full life. They believed him and immediately began to experience sin's consequences! Despite the absurdity of Satan's logic, he continues to deceive people into doubting what God has clearly said...-Experiencing God, Blackaby.....Isa5:20 “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.”

​

#0001832

You cannot change your ancestors, but you can do something about your descendants...-Anon Psalm 78:5-7 “For he issued his laws to Jacob; he gave his instructions to Israel. He commanded our ancestors to teach them to their children, [6] so the next generation might know them- even the children not yet born- and they in turn will teach their own children. [7] So each generation should set its hope anew on God, not forgetting his glorious miracles and obeying his commands.”

​

#0001833

There was a period in ancient Israel when laws were set aside and everyone did that which was right 'in his own eyes'. Back then, it was unsafe for a woman to be alone, and a child could become the victim of someone's lust. They were living the reality that if God does not exist, everything is permissible. So does God exist? If He does, then humankind becomes accountable, and it is upon the knowledge of right and wrong that you have that you will be judged...-Sala, Refuge And Strength.......Exodus20:17 “You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or his maidservant, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

​

#0001834

Jesus Speaks about God's True Children..-NLT Life Application Bible.......John8:31-32 “Jesus said to the people who believed in Him, 'You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to My teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free'.”

​

#0001835

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning...- Albert Einstein......Psalm139:23-24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”

​

#0001836

The law does not justify us or help us overcome sin. But now that we are bound to Christ, He is our Master, and He gives us power to do good rather than evil...-NLT Life App.....“Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God's grace(Rom6:14).-Don't you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living(Rom6:16).- But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life(Rom6:22).- For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord(Rom6:23).”

​

#0001837

“This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won't be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ . . .- Abide in Me.- So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immoveable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.”...-Eph4:13-15.-John15:4.-1Cor15:58...

Waiting upon God is vital in order to see Him and receive a vision from Him. Jacob 'crossed the ford of the Jabbok(Gen32:22)', saw God, and became Israel. Seeing a vision of God transformed Gideon from a coward into a courageous soldier. And Thomas, after seeing Christ, was changed from a doubting follower into a loyal, devoted disciple. For God's vision to be impressed in our hearts, we must sit in stillness at His feet for quite a long time. Remember, the 'troubled' surface of a lake will not reflect an image. Yes, He continues to whisper to us, but we often do not hear Him because of the noise and distractions caused by the hurried pace of our lives...-Frederick William Faber.......Proverbs29:18 “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”esday, September 20, 2011 8:42:30 AM

It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end...-Ursula LeGuin........Prov3:6 “In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.”

​

#0001840

Jesus knew that we would have questions. To prepare us for them, He urged us to abide in His love(John15:11). Even when God's ways are inexplicable, His love is reliable. So we remain 'doggedly'(determinedly and persistently) devoted to Him...-Julie Ackerman Link, Our Daily Bread.......John15:11 “I have told you these things so that you will be filled with My joy. Yes, your joy will overflow.- In Your presence is fullness of joy(Psalm16:11).”

​

#0001841

“As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.- I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord.- Unto Thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that He have mercy upon us.- Because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice.”...-Psa125:2.-Psa121:1,2.-Psa123:1,2.-Psa63:7...

​

#0001842

“Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might; . . . but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me, that I Am The Lord.- The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.- Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.- Whoso findeth Me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.”...-Daily Light......Jeremiah9:23,24.-Proverbs9:10.-Proverbs3:13.Proverbs8:35...

#0001843

Joseph could not understand his brothers' cruelty toward him, the false testimony of a treacherous woman, or the long years of unjust imprisonment, but he trusted God and finally saw God's glory in it all. And Joseph's father, Jacob, could not understand how God's strange providence could allow Joseph to be taken from him. Yet later he saw the Lord's glory when he looked into the face of his son, who had become the governor for a great king and the person used to preserve his own life and the lives of an entire nation(Gen37-50)...-LBCowman, Streams In the Desert.......John11:40 “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”

It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end...-Ursula LeGuin........Prov3:6 “In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.”

Integrity is 'the sum and total of a person's choices'(PBFitzwater). Your daily choices and decisions, right or wrong, define your integrity; and integrity is the backbone of your character. But how does one have integrity? Not something you are born with, it is something you learn. Character is formed during the early years of your life as you learn that certain things are wrong and others are right. And just as any skill or ability, integrity can be developed...-Sala, Refuge And Strength......James4:17 “Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.”
