In the substance of your being do I exist. In the evidence of who you are, invisible, Eternal, do I find my place.
In the intimate places of my heart, in the secret places of your chambers, you abide, and make me real.
There is no reality found within this life, and there is no truth within its shadows. The reality, the real, is only you.
Indeed, the fountain of life is with you. In your light we see light.
Psalm 36:9
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.
Romans 13:14
Every step forward in the gospel is important. Every lesson learned, every difficulty overcome. Peter referenced this proverb in his first epistle.
If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?
1 Peter 4:18 (portion)
The higher we go in the Gospel, the deeper in His love, the more opportunities we could have to step off the narrow road.
His mouth is sweetness itself;
Song 5:16 (portion)
Oh, how I love His Word. His mouth is sweetness itself. There is nothing finer, nothing more pleasant, nothing more desirable, than His mouth. Taste and see that He is good.
If ever there was a question about God’s greatness, it is settled in this. You may talk about love, but He is it. You may talk about justice, but He is it. You may talk about joy, but He is the only source. You may talk about peace, but He is its prince. You may talk about patience, but who is more than He? You may talk about kindness, but show me another father willing to send all his prophets, and then, at the last, His son. You may talk about anything that it is to be human, and, you may see someone demonstrate some portion of it, or you may see idealized someone who is famed for it, but Jesus is it all.
