Sowing and Reaping ; Repent and Seek God

Published on by cfwriterLeave a comment


12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy, break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, till He come and rain righteousness upon you.
13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity, ye have eaten the fruit of lies, because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be despoiled, as Shalman despoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
15 So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness; in a morning shall the king of Israel be utterly cut off.

Hosea 10:12-15

We reap what we sow is an immutable law. In a psalm, David sings his gratefulness to God for never punishing us to the extent that we deserve. Our God is  merciful. 


Two Kinds of Wisdom

Published on by cfwriterLeave a comment

13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

James 3:13-18 (King James Version (KJV))

Teachings

 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
– Psalms 106:1 (KJV)

God listens to your prayers; none of your teardrops fall without Him knowing about it. So when God Almighty gives you instructions, it means He has already made the way for you.

Praise the Lord, for He is good and His mercy endures forever.

He has done so for me and He teaches me along the way, telling me who He is and how much He loves me.  God doesn’t yell at His children; He teaches with love, forgives mistakes, and patiently explains the lesson until you have learned it.

My God, God Almighty, is about love; He is Love.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

– John 3:16

Praise the Lord!
