Children like olive branches (2/4)

  • So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
  • Start children off on the way they should go,
    and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
  • Let my teaching fall like rain
    and my words descend like dew,
    like showers on new grass,
    like abundant rain on tender plants.
  • Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!
  • Though the fig tree does not bud
    and there are no grapes on the vines,
    though the olive crop fails
    and the fields produce no food,
    though there are no sheep in the pen
    and no cattle in the stalls,
    yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
    I will be joyful in God my Savior.
  • These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
  • And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
  • “Come now, let us settle the matter,”
    says the Lord.
    “Though your sins are like scarlet,
    they shall be as white as snow;
    though they are red as crimson,
    they shall be like wool.”
  • Like a city whose walls are broken through
    is a person who lacks self-control.
  • A thousand years in your sight
    are like a day that has just gone by,
    or like a watch in the night.
  • I have swept away your offenses like a cloud,
    your sins like the morning mist.
    Return to me,
    for I have redeemed you.
  • Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time.
  • Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless. If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry. My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless.
  • I spread out my hands to you;
    I thirst for you like a parched land.
  • For the Lord loves the just
    and will not forsake his faithful ones.
    Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed;
    the offspring of the wicked will perish.
  • The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
    he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
    he enables me to tread on the heights.
  • How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.
  • But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
  • The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
    they go down to the inmost parts.
  • Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,
    for they will surely sprout wings
    and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
  • Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
  • But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
  • Commit your way to the Lord;
    trust in him and he will do this:
    He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
    your vindication like the noonday sun.
  • And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise.
  • Place me like a seal over your heart,
    like a seal on your arm;
    for love is as strong as death,
    its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
    It burns like blazing fire,
    like a mighty flame.

Who is a God like you,
who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
of the remnant of his inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever
but delight to show mercy.
