SCRIP-BITS

2 Corinthians 5: 7

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Don’t know what else to say. Just to reiterate that FAITH is the biggest thing we’ve got going for us, so don’t be afraid to use it. Without it, we’re nothing.

KEEP THE FAITH!

Hebrews 11: 11, 29, 30

Through FAITH also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

 By FAITH they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land…

 By FAITH the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encompassed about seven days.

Just trying to show how important FAITH is in our everyday walk. And believe you me, the Good Lord loves to test our faith. So let’s try and come up Aces when he tests us!

Love and Plenty, Plenty Faith!

Hebrews 11: 7-10.

By faith, Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house….

By faith, Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place, which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

By faith, he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country…. For he looked for a city, which hath foundations whose builder and maker, is God.

That’s the kind of trust we need to have in God, if we want to be his children and heirs. He set’s high standards, but remember, with faith, all things are possible, and he keeps his promises.

Hebrews 11: 6.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

It’s all about belief; strong, heartfelt belief, and with that comes the patience to work and wait for him to do whatever needs to be done, in his good time.

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

 Faith is the next step up from Hope. First we dream and hope, then through that strong sense of inner belief, Faith, we patiently work towards whatever it is we’re hoping and dreaming about. Even when things are not going right we’ve got to have faith; that fortitude to keep on keeping on. It’s the only way we’ll make it through this crazy world. So hang in there. As the song on the radio is saying, “the best is yet to come." Believe it!

Romans 8: 24-25.

For we are saved by hope; but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Hope is the most important aspect of our lives; that is why we get up everyday and go through the same dull, boring routines, hoping that today will be better than yesterday, and tomorrow better than today.Hope is what our dreams are made up of. Without hope there would be no dreams. Like the old cliché says, ‘whilst there’s life there’s hope!’ And isn’t that the God awesome truth! Peace…Love…and much Hope!

Job 5: 17-18

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth, therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty. For he maketh sore, and bindeth up; he woundeth and his hands make whole.

Proverbs 3: 11-12.

My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, neither be weary of his correction. For whom the Lord loveth, he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Today is two for one day! I just could not resist putting these two bits together. If both Job and Solomon could say it, it has to be true. I believe J.C said sometime that if we could honour our earthly fathers who at times treat us badly, so much more should we honour our Heavenly Father who only has our best interest at heart. Don’t feel too bad when he corrects us. It’s usually for our good. Love.

No Scripture Reading.

Well Hello there Friends & Neighbours! Sorry that there was no bit of scripture yesterday…I’m sure some of you were glad. But we’re back today. Actually, what I’m sending today is not from the Good Book, but it’s something I’m sure J.C would agree with and say if he was here in the flesh. It’s from a book of Daily Meditations titled ‘One More Day’ and when I read it yesterday The Spirit moved me to make it a Scrip-Bit. So here it is.

Proverbs 31: 10-12.

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.

The heart of her husband doth safely trust her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
