BE A SHINNING LIGHT

Photo Provide by Cricket White Green

 In the beginning was the Word, 

and the Word was with God, 

and the Word was God.

The same was in the 

beginning with God.

All things were made by him; 

and without him was not any 

thing made that was made.

In him was life; 

and the life was the light of men.

And the light shineth in darkness; 

and the darkness comprehended it not.

There was a man sent from God, 

whose name was John.

The same came for a witness, 

to bear witness of the Light, 

that all men through him might believe.

He was not that Light,

but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

That was the true Light, 

which lighteth every man 

that cometh into the world.

 He was in the world, 

and the world was made by him, 

and the world knew him not.

He came unto his own, 

and his own received him not.

 But as many as received him, to them gave 

he power to become the sons of God, 

even to them that believe on his name:

Which were born, not of blood, 

nor of the will of the flesh, 

nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word was made flesh, 

and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten 

of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

John 1:1-14

GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR THEE

For though I would desire to glory,
I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth:
but now I forbear, lest any man should think
of me above that which he seeth me to be,
or that he heareth of me  And lest I should be exalted
above measure through the abundance of the revelations,
there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger
of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above
measure.  For this thing I besought the Lord thrice,
that it might depart from me.   And he said unto me,
My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength
is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore
will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power
of  Christ may rest upon me.  Therefore I take
pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities,
in persecutions,  in distresses for Christ’s sake: for
when I am weak, then am I strong.

II Corinthians 12:6-10

DRAWING WATER OUT OF THE WELLS OF SALVATION

 And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, 

I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, 

thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, 

and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH 

is my strength and my song; he also is 

become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye 

draw water out of the wells of salvation.

And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, 

call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, 

make mention that his name is exalted.

Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent 

things: this is known in all the earth.

Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: 

for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

Isaiah 12

YOUTH RENEWED AS THE EAGLE

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that 

is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; 

who healeth all thy diseases;

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; 

who crowneth thee with lovingkindness 

and tender mercies;  Who satisfieth thy mouth 

with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment 

for all that are oppressed.

He made known his ways unto Moses, 

his acts unto the children of Israel.

The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, 

and plenteous in mercy.   He will not always chide: 

neither will he keep his anger for ever.

He hath not dealt with us after our sins; 

nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

For as the heaven is high above the earth, 

so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

As far as the east is from the west, 

so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Like as a father pitieth his children, 

so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

For he knoweth our frame; 

he remembereth that we are dust.

As for man, his days are as grass: 

as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; 

and the place thereof shall know it no more.

But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting 

to everlasting upon them that fear him, 

and his righteousness unto children’s children;

To such as keep his covenant, and to those 

that remember his commandments to do them.

The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; 

and his kingdom ruleth over all.

Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, 

that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; 

ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of 

his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

CALL UNTO ME

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, 

and shew thee great and mighty things, 

which thou knowest not.

Jeremiah 33:3

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: 

let them also that hate him flee before him.

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: 

as wax melteth before the fire, 

so let the wicked perish at the 

presence of God.  But let the righteous 

be glad; let them rejoice before God: 

yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: 

extol him that rideth upon the heavens 

by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

Psalms 68: 1-4
