TAKEN FROM 52 BIBLE VERSES FOR MEN (YOUVERSION BIBLE APP)

As a man after God’s heart, it’s not just about fleeing sin but about what we’re pursuing. All of the great men of faith in the Bible aren’t in there because they didn’t sin. As a matter of fact, there are some pretty horrific things that many of them did in their lives. But, they were all marked by qualities of repentance, grace, pursuing justice, defending the oppressed, and establishing God’s kingdom. Don’t make your goal not to do the wrong things, but make it your goal to pursue the list above. As you chase after the right things, your desire for sin will fade.

And what do we have to do…..we cannot earn it…..it is a free gift….all we have to do is believe in faith……turning to Jesus…..who earned it for us……..IS THIS NOT THE GREATEST NEW EVER?……..We all fall short, but not Jesus.

Zion

Is a place name in the Hebrew Bible used as a synonym for Jerusalem as well as for the Land of Israel as a whole. The name is found in 2 Samuel, one of the books of the Hebrew Bible dated to before or close to the mid-6th century BCE. It originally referred to a specific hill in Jerusalem, located to the south of Mount Moriah. According to the narrative of 2 Samuel 5, Mount Zion held the Jebusite fortress of the same name that was conquered by David and was renamed the City of David. That specific hill is one of the many squat hills that form Jerusalem, which also includes Mount Moriah, the Mount of Olives, etc. Over many centuries, until as recently as the Ottoman era, the city walls of Jerusalem were rebuilt many times in new locations, so that the particular hill known as Mount Zion is no longer inside the city wall, but its location is now just outside the portion of the Old City wall forming the southern boundary of the Jewish Quarter of the current Old City.Wikipedia

I pray Lord, that our children know honest, does not mean perfect. We are imperfect creations, but I pray that we point our children, to the perfect one, Jesus, who makes us whole.

We who follow Jesus, walk in Light, not in Darkness. Not because of anything we have done, but what He has done for Us.

Taken from John MacArthur Study Bible

The phrase highlights Jesus’ role as Messiah and Son of God (Ps 27:1; Mal 4:2). The OT indicates that the coming age of Messiah would be a time when the Lord would be a light for His people (Is 60:19–22; cf. Rev 21:23, 24) as well as for the whole earth (Is 42:6; 49:6). Zechariah 14:5b–8 has an emphasis on God as the light of the world who gives living waters to His people.

How can we do these things? I know, that unless I am humbly submitting myself to God, being filled with his Spirit and his Love, and bathing myself in the Gospel…….I have no chance!

O God, Creator of heaven and earth: Grant that, as the crucified body of your dear Son was laid in the tomb and rested on this holy Sabbath, so we may await with him the coming of the third day, and rise with him to newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.Bible Project

Father, forgive our selfish pride, which shows itself in many ways in our lives. Help us to be honest with you, ourselves, and others. Our sins are many, but your Grace is more.
