Choose Life

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: -Deut. 30:19

Do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and your children’s children. (Deuteronomy 4:9)

A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. -Psalm 22:30

For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. -Psalm 37:28

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Psalm 112:2

Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. -Proverbs 11:21

New In Christ

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5:17

“Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past.
“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind.

Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. He then put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.

Isaiah 43:18 – 65:17 John 3:3 Romans 6:4 Eph. 4:24 Rev. 21:4

Favor In God’s Sight

But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him kindness. He granted him favor in the sight of the prison warden. Gal. 1:10

Favor generally means good will, acceptance, and the benefits flowing from these. in older usage it meant also the countenance, hence, appearance. Alternating in English Versions of the Bible with “grace,” it is used chiefly of man, but sometimes also of God

If I find favor in the Lord’s sight He will show me kindness too. If I walk with the Lord as Joseph did, He will show kindness and favor.

God is no respect of person. What He does for one, He will do for another. Bless the Lord, oh my soul! May it be said, that I lived to please God and not men. God is good and will show His loving kindness which is better than life.

For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. -Gal 1:10

Restoration

 DIVINE RESTORATION 

  
“Do not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad, For the Lord has done great things. 
Do not fear, beasts of the field, 
For the pastures of the wilderness have turned green, 
For the tree has borne its fruit, 
The fig tree and the vine have yielded in full. 
So rejoice, O sons of Zion, 
And be glad in the Lord your God; 
For He has given you the early rain for your vindication. 
And He has poured down for you the rain, 
The early and latter rain as before. 
The threshing floors will be full of grain, 
And the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil. 
“Then I will make up to you for the years That the swarming locust has eaten, 
The creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust, 
My great army which I sent among you. 
“You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied And praise the name of the Lord your God, 
Who has dealt wondrously with you; 
Then My people will never be put to shame”   
Joel 2:21-26
