Children like olive branches (2/4)

  • Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may show yourselves blameless and beyond reproach, children of God without spot in the midst of an evil and depraved generation, among which you shine like lights in the world as you hold fast tenaciously to the word of life.
  • Let my teaching fall down like rain,
    and my words descend like the dew.
    Like rain upon the sprouts,
    and like showers upon the grass.
  • Oh, that they would have fear of me in their hearts and they would observe all of my commandments always. Then things would go well with them and their children forever.
  • For the Lord loves the just,
    and he will not forsake his faithful ones.
    Those who follow evil paths will be destroyed,
    and the children of the wicked will be cut off.
  • Even though the fig tree does not blossom
    and there is no fruit on the vines,
    even though the olive crop will fail
    and the orchards will yield no food,
    even though the flock is cut off from the fold
    and there is no herd in the stalls,
    I will continue to rejoice in the Lord,
    and exult in the God of my salvation.
  • Come now and let us discuss this,
    says the Lord.
    Though your sins are like scarlet,
    they shall be like snow.
    Though they are as red as crimson,
    they shall become as white as wool.
  • The second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
  • You shall keep these things that I command you today in your heart. Teach them to your children. You shall talk of them when you are sitting in your home, and when you are walking along the way, and when you lie down and when you rise up.
  • Like a city that has been breached and made defenseless
    is the man devoid of self-control.
  • I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud
    and your sins like a mist.
    Return to me,
    for I have redeemed you.
  • You shall not oppress the widow or the orphan. If you mistreat them and they cry out to me for help, I will surely hear their cry, and my fury will burn and I will put you to death by the sword. Your wives will be widows and your children will be orphans.
  • You shall obey his statutes and the commandments that I give you today, so that all may go well with you and your children after you, and that you may live long in the land that the Lord, your God, has given you for all time.
  • For to you a thousand years
    are like a yesterday that has passed
    or one of the watches of the night.
  • I stretch out my hands to you;
    my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah
  • Train a child in the way he should go,
    and he will not deviate from it, even in old age.
  • How great you are, Lord God! There is no one like you, and there is no God except you alone, as everything that we have heard confirms.
  • But he is to ask with faith, without doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed about by the wind.
  • The Lord God is my strength;
    he makes my feet as swift as those of a deer
    and enables me to tread on the heights.
  • Pleasing words are like a honeycomb,
    sweet to the soul and affording health to the body.
  • Remain sober and alert, for your enemy the devil is on the prowl like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
  • When you fix your gaze upon it,
    it is gone before you realize it.
    For it suddenly sprouts wings
    and flies up to the sky like an eagle.
  • But do not ignore this one fact, beloved: with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.
  • You shall not hate your brother in your heart, nor shall you rebuke your brother in any way, lest you bear sin because of him. You shall not seek vengeance nor bear a grudge against the children of your people. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.
  • Commit your way to the Lord;
    place your trust in him, and he will act.
    He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
    and the justice of your cause, like the noonday.
  • But for you who fear my name
    the sun of justice will arise
    with its healing rays.
    You will emerge leaping
    like calves released from the stall.

The whispers of a gossiper are tasty morsels
that corrode one’s inner being.

Bible verse of the day

Nevertheless, do not rejoice in the knowledge that the spirits are subject to you. Rejoice rather that your names are inscribed in heaven.

Can a woman forget the infant at her breast;
or feel no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even should she forget,
I will never forget you.
Behold, I have inscribed your name
on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before my eyes.
