I have glorified You on the earth, I have finished the work which you have given me to do.
The glory of His Father was His consuming passion // John 17:4
This verse just makes me think that He’s got a work for me to do, and that that work will glorify Him. Glory and honour makes me think of how we are to treat one another… By valuing each other as a precious treasure for we are made in God’s image.
“For we are powerless against this situation that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, Lord, but our eyes are on You.”
—
2 Chronicles 20:12
“The final phrase, We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You, is one of the most touching expressions of trust in God to be found anywhere in the Bible.” (Selman)
We don’t need great knowledge or great strength to overcome our hopeless situations. We just need to know where to look. Keep your eyes on Him.
(via grace-after-the-fall)
“Why would you ever complain, O Jacob, or, whine, Israel, saying, “ GOD has lost track of me. He doesn’t care what happens to me”? Don’t you know anything? Haven’t you been listening?
GOD doesn’t come and go. God lasts
He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine.
He doesn’t get tired out, doesn’t pause to catch his breath. And he knows everything, inside and out.
He energizes those who get tired, gives fresh strength to dropouts.
For even young people tire and drop out, young folk in their prime stumble and fall.
But those who wait upon GOD get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, They run and don’t get tired, they walk and don’t lag behind.”
Isaiah 40:27-31 MSG
Hephzibah
No longer will they call you Deserted,
or name your land Desolate.
But you will be called Hephzibah [my delight is in her],
and your land Beulah [married];
for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be married.
As a young man marries a maiden [he pursues her, romances her]...
as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride [you are lovely],
so will your God rejoice over you. (Isaiah 62:4-5, emphasis added)
ezer
The word ezer is used only in twenty other places in the entire Old Testament. And in every other instance the person described is God Himself, when you need him to come through for you desperately.
There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens to help you…
Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword. (Deut. 33:26, 29)
I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. (Ps. 121:1-2)
May the Lord answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. May he send you help.
We wait in hope for LORD; he is our help and our shield. (Ps. 33:20)
O house of Israel, trust in the LORD—he is their help and shield.
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD—he is their help and shield.
You who fear him, trust in the LORD—he is their help and shield. (Ps. 115:9-11)
Most of the contexts are life and death, by the way, and God is your only hope. Your ezer. If he is not there beside you… you are dead. A better translation therefore of ezer would be “lifesaver”. Kenegdo means alongside, or opposite to, a counterpart.
“The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.” Psalms 9:9 NKJV
Matthew 7:24 NIV
And by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Acts 13:39
LORD, you will establish peace for us,
For You have also done all our works in us.
Isaiah 26:12
In those moments, John 15:16 is my "money" verse.
Jesus says, "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit."
Whenever I feel insecure or inadequate (which is a lot), I pray,
Lord, I do not feel like I have what it takes. I feel so insecure, but I recognize that this wasn't my idea. It was Your idea. You chose me, and if you chose me, then I either have what it takes or You're going to give me what I need.
— Rooted, Banning Liebscher
How did your new life begin? Was it by working your heads off to please God? Or was it by responding to a God's Message to you? Are you going to continue this craziness? For only crazy people would think they could complete by their own efforts what was begun by God. If you weren't strong enough to begin it, how do you suppose you could perfect it?
Galatians 3:2-3 (The Message Bible)
I write to you little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake. (1 John 2:12)
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Psalm 103:2-5
"My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness and Your salvation all the day, for I do not know their limits.
I will go in the strength of the Lord God; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.
My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long; for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame who seek my hurt.
— Psalm 71:15, 16, 24
Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin…
Zechariah 4:10 (NLT)
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.
Psalm 34:17
