The way to Heaven is ascending;
we must be content to travel uphill,
though it be hard and tiresome,
and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh.
Jonathan Edwards

Sep. 22, 2007~ Verses on my heart this week... ~
Psalm 34:8-9
"Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. Fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing."
Psalm 81:8-16
"Listen to me, O my people, while I give you stern warnings...You must not bow down before a false god. For it was I the Lord your God who rescued you from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it with good things. But no, my people wouldn't listen. Isreal did not want me around. So I let them follow their own stubborn desires, living according to their own ideas. Oh, that my people would listen to me! Oh that Isreal would follow me, walking in my paths! How quickly I would then subdue their enemies! How soon my hands would be upon their foes! Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him; they would be doomed forever. But I would feed you with the finest wheat. I would satisfy you with wild honey from the rock."
Proverbs 23:19-21
"My child, listen and be wise; Keep your heart on the right course. Do not carouse with drunkards or feast with gluttons, for they are on their way to poverty, and too much sleep clothes them in rags."
Proverbs 25:16
"Do you like honey? Don't eat too much, or it will make you sick!" NLT
"Have you found honey? Eat only as much as you need, Lest you be filled with it and vomit." NKJ
Proverbs 25:27 NKJ
" It is not good to eat much honey; So to seek one's own glory is not glory."
Proverbs 25:28 NLT
" A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls."
Proverbs 30:8-9
"Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches-Feed me with the food allotted to me; Lest I be full and deny You, And say, "Who is the Lord?" And profane the name of my God."
Leviticus 20:26 says, "You must be holy because I, the LORD, am holy. I have set you apart from all other people to be my very own." This blog is my place to remember this journey I am on and God's goodness to me. I am glad you are here. Welcome.
