LIFE LESSON FOR TODAY, 8/5/14

-






The world seems to be in such turmoil these days. 
I have learned over the years that the world is not
my source of comfort and peace. I look to Jehovah Shalom to help me find peace in this troubled world.  There are times when I read scriptures in the Bible  and they bring me peace. Here are some scriptures about peace that I go to when I'm feeling stressed 
or upset:



ISAIAH 54:10

For the mountains shall depart
And the hills be removed,
But My kindness shall not depart from you,
Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”
Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.



JEREMIAH 33:6

Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.


PSALM  4:8    

I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

PSALM 120:6    

My soul has dwelt too long
With one who hates peace.


PROVERBS 16:7
 
When a man’s ways please the Lord,
He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.


ROMANS 5:1 

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Romans 8:6    

For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 

ROMANS 14: 19

Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another. 

1 CORINTHIANS 14:33 

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

PHILEMON  1:3

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

CALLED BY THE LORD, PART 6

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
