Matthew 7:1-5 1 “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.  2 For with whatever judgement you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.  3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?  4 Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye?  5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye. Matthew 7:1-5   Jeremiah 17:10 10 “I, the LORD, search the mind.

Comfort

 There are several things we tend to turn to when we need to be comforted. For some it might be a favorite food, for others it might be a favorite song. Some might prefer a long walk in the woods while others escape into a beloved TV show. But for people of faith, particularly when faced with really troubling circumstances, the Bible has always been the most unfailing source of solace. Comforting Bible verses remind readers about God’s steadfast love and unfailing support, freely given to all who call upon Him. The Israelites in the Old Testament relied on God as they wandered in the wilderness, and the early Christians in the New Testament did, too, as they faced persecution and prejudice. We are no less in need today. So take a moment to ponder these comforting Bible verses—they’ll remind you that, no matter how down you may feel, you’re never alone. - Most know that loss is a part of life, but that doesn’t make it any easier. The death of loved ones often takes its toll on those lef

Habakkuk 2:2-4 / Romans 1:16-17

The LORD answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it. For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries towards the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come. It won’t delay. Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.” — Habakkuk 2:2-4   For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek. For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.” — Romans 1:16-17 In his letter to the church at Rome, Paul seems to equate the spreading of the gospel to the scene in Habakkuk, where the vision was to be written and shared by runners as the moved from community to community, sharing the news and then moving on. Paul notes the Good News is shared from

Numbers 23:19

God is not a man, that he should lie nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and he won’t do it? Or has he spoken, and he won’t make it good? — Numbers 23:19 -

2 Chronicles 7:13-14

“If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence amongst my people, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” — 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 -

Deuteronomy 30:16-20

For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it. But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away and worship other gods, and serve them, I declare to you today that you will surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you pass over the Jordan to go in to possess it. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your descendants, to love the LORD your God, to obey his voice, and to cling to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. — Deuteronomy 30:16-20 -

1 Chronicles 16:8-36

Oh give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make what he has done known amongst the peoples. Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvellous works. Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more. Remember his marvellous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth, you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.   He is the LORD our God. His judgements are in all the earth. Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac. He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,” when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it. They went about from nation to nation, from one ki
