What The Bible is?

 

Knowing God through The Bible

 

The man and satan

 

Lord God is a living God

 Deuteronomy 4:15-20,24-26

[15]इसलिये तुम अपने विषय में बहुत सावधान रहना। क्योंकि जब यहोवा ने तुम से होरेब पर्वत पर आग के बीच में से बातें की तब तुम को कोई रूप न देख पड़ा, 

Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:

[16]कहीं ऐसा न हो कि तुम बिगड़कर चाहे पुरूष चाहे स्त्री के, 

Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

[17]चाहे पृथ्वी पर चलने वाले किसी पशु, चाहे आकाश में उड़ने वाले किसी पक्षी के, 

The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,

[18]चाहे भूमि पर रेंगने वाले किसी जन्तु, चाहे पृथ्वी के जल में रहने वाली किसी मछली के रूप की कोई मूर्ति खोदकर बना लो, 

The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:

[19]वा जब तुम आकाश की ओर आंखे उठा कर, सूर्य, चंद्रमा, और तारों को, अर्थात आकाश का सारा तारागण देखो, तब बहककर उन्हें दण्डवत करके उनकी सेवा करने लगो जिन को तुम्हारे परमेश्वर यहोवा ने धरती पर के सब देश वालों के लिये रखा है। 

And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

[20]और तुम को यहोवा लोहे के भट्ठे के सरीखे मिस्र देश से निकाल ले आया है, इसलिये कि तुम उसकी प्रजारूपी निज भाग ठहरो, जैसा आज प्रगट है। 

But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.

[24]क्योंकि तुम्हारा परमेश्वर यहोवा भस्म करने वाली आग है; वह जल उठने वाला परमेश्वर है॥ 

For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

[25]यदि उस देश में रहते रहते बहुत दिन बीत जाने पर, और अपने बेटे-पोते उत्पन्न होने पर, तुम बिगड़कर किसी वस्तु के रूप की मूर्ति खोदकर बनाओ, और इस रीति से अपने परमेश्वर यहोवा के प्रति बुराई करके उसे अप्रसन्न कर दो, 

When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:

[26]तो मैं आज आकाश और पृथ्वी को तुम्हारे विरुद्ध साक्षी करके कहता हूं, कि जिस देश के अधिकारी होने के लिये तुम यरदन पार जाने पर हो उस में तुम जल्दी बिल्कुल नाश हो जाओगे; और बहुत दिन रहने न पाओगे, किन्तु पूरी रीति से नष्ट हो जाओगे। 

I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

Rest in His security

 Rest In Security

“But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me” Micah 7:7

Do you have thoughts about the future that worry you today? Are you waiting to hear back from someone where news could be either good or bad? Is there something in your life that you need to “wait out and see” how it turns out? These types of situations can be frustrating and also anxiety inducing.

In these times your thoughts can revolve around the problems you face. They can consume your time and energy as they race through your mind. But these are exactly the times in which we need to look toward the Lord for guidance. What else does the bible say about facing future problems?

Job 11:18 says “And you will feel secure, because there is hope; you will look around and take your rest in security.” In His love there is hope, and in His love there is safety. Fear not for tomorrow, for tomorrow brings many opportunities. Speak to the Lord about what troubles you about the future. Through His love anything is possible!

Prayer:

“Lord, there are things in my life that worry me about the future. I open my heart to you. Please show me what I can do to better prepare myself for the future. I know that through Your love I need not fear about these troubles. Thank you, Lord for giving me hope in the darkness.”

In Jesus’ Mighty Name,

AMEN!

Final Thoughts:

If you find that thoughts about the future give you anxiety today, look toward your Lord. Pray to him in these times. Pray to him as often and as long as you need! There is certainly no time limit that the Lord imposes.

If you have someone in your life that would benefit from hearing these words, please help spread the love of the Lord!

Be Greatly Blessed!

Faith and Action Working Together

 Faith and Action Working Together

====≠===========================

‘Fearing that we would be dashed against the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight.’ Acts 27:29 (NIV)

A fortnight into a trip across the Adriatic Sea, Paul and his travelers found themselves caught in a violent storm. In the midnight hour, as they approached land, the sailors feared they would be dashed against a rocky coast, so they dropped four anchors from the stern to halt the runaway ship and prayed to their gods.

However, Paul alone was praying to the One God who could do anything about their situation.

His actions are a good reminder to us to rely on God rather than our own wisdom or skills. However, we don’t do nothing in the midst of trouble either. There is always an action to take just as there are always prayers to pray. Faith and action must be working together. We must do all that we can to fix the problem and then trust God to do His part.

Paul commended the young Christians in Thessalonica for their ‘work produced by faith’ (1 Thessalonians 1:3). He told the church in Galatia, ‘the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love’ (Galatians 5:6).

James said that ‘faith by itself, without works, is dead’ (James 2:17) and Hebrews 11 offers a lengthy list of saints who combined their faith in God with loving actions and deeds.

Be Greatly Blessed!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, forgive me for taking control and leaving you out of the issues that I face in life. Help me to do what I can and know that as I commit situations to you, you will do what you will. Thank you.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name,

AMEN

Additional Thoughts:

There is only one response to the problems that confront us in this life: faith and action working simultaneously as we do our best and wait for the best from God.

Where do we find ourselves just now?

In our trouble there is always a wise and gentle response awaiting from both ourselves and from God. It is tempting to rush in a try to fix our problems completely forgetting that God is waiting to respond also. He sees the issue at hand far more clearly than ourselves and knows the best solution.

We do what we can, but He will do what He wills.

And it will always be good.
