Corinthians 16:13 Amplified Translation
13 Be alert and on your guard; stand
firm in your faith (your conviction respecting man’s relationship to God and
divine things, keeping the trust and holy fervor born of faith and a part of
it). Act like men and be courageous; grow in strength! [Ps. 31:24].[2]
Quote
Of The Day:
Smith Wigglesworth
“It is always
those people who are full of faith that have a good report, that never murmur
that are in the place of victory, that are not in the place of human order, but
divine order”
Deborah’s Drash Commentary:
We
Are Called to be Men and Woman of G-d who are Controlled and Sustained by Our
Faith In His Torah/Word.
Hebrews 11: 12-16
12 So from one man, though he was physically as
good as dead, there have sprung descendants whose number is as the stars of
heaven and as countless as the innumerable sands on the seashore. [Gen. 15:5,
6; 22:17; 32:12].
13 These people all died controlled and
sustained by their faith, but not having received the tangible fulfillment of
[God’s] promises, only having seen it and greeted it from a great
distance by faith, and all the while acknowledging and confessing that
they were strangers and temporary residents and exiles upon the
earth. [Gen. 23:4; Ps. 39:12].
14 Now those people who talk as they did show
plainly that they are in search of a fatherland (their own country).
15 If they had been thinking with [homesick]
remembrance of that country from which they were emigrants, they would have
found constant opportunity to return to it.
16 But the truth is that they were yearning for
and aspiring to a better and more desirable country, that is, a
heavenly [one]. For that reason God is not ashamed to be called their God [even
to be surnamed their God—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob], for He has
prepared a city for them. [Exod. 3:6, 15; 4:5].[3]
Matthew 6:25-34
“Seeking His Kingdom”
25 Therefore I tell you, stop being perpetually
uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you
shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater
[in quality] than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than
clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither
sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding
them. Are you not worth much more than they?
27 And who of you by worrying and being
anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the
span of his life? [Ps. 39:5–7].
28 And why should you be anxious about clothes?
Consider the lilies of the field and learn thoroughly how they grow;
they neither toil nor spin.
29 Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his
magnificence (excellence, dignity, and grace) was not arrayed like one of
these. [I Kings 10:4–7].
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the
field, which today is alive and green and tomorrow is tossed into the
furnace, will He not much more surely clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 Therefore do not worry and be
anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to
have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear?
32 For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and
crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father
knows well that you need them all.
33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of
all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and
then all these things taken together will be given you besides.
34
So do not
worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and
anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.[4]
Psalm
40 –Yahweh sustains Those Who Belong To Him
I waited patiently for the Lord;
And He
inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry
clay,
And He set
my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.
3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;
Many will
see and fear
And will
trust in the Lord.
4 How blessed is the man who has made the Lord his trust,
And has
not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.
5 Many, O Lord my God,
are the wonders which You have done,
And Your
thoughts toward us;
There is
none to compare with You.
If I would
declare and speak of them,
They would
be too numerous to count.
6 Sacrifice and meal offering You have not
desired;
My ears
You have opened;
Burnt
offering and sin offering You have not required.
7 Then I said,
“Behold, I come;
In the
scroll of the book it is written of me.
8 I delight to do
Your will, O my God;
Your Law
is within my heart.”
9 I have proclaimed glad tidings of
righteousness in the great congregation;
Behold, I
will not restrain my lips,
O Lord, You know.
10 I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;
I have
spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation;
I have not
concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great congregation.
11 You, O Lord,
will not withhold Your compassion from me;
Your lovingkindness
and Your truth will continually preserve me.
12 For evils beyond number have surrounded me;
My
iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see;
They are
more numerous than the hairs of my head,
And my
heart has failed me.
13 Be pleased, O Lord,
to deliver me;
Make
haste, O Lord, to help me.
14 Let those be ashamed and humiliated together
Who seek
my life to destroy it;
Let those
be turned back and dishonored
Who
delight in my hurt.
15 Let those be appalled because of their shame
Who say to
me, “Aha, aha!”
16 Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
Let those
who love Your salvation say continually,
“The Lord be magnified!”
17 Since I am afflicted and needy,
Let the
Lord be mindful of me.
You are my
help and my deliverer;
Do not
delay, O my God.
Psalm 37 – Trust in Adonai
1 Do not fret because of evildoers,
Be not envious toward
wrongdoers.
2 For they will wither quickly like the grass
And fade like the
green herb.
3 Trust in the Lord
and do good;
Dwell in the land and
cultivate faithfulness.
4 Delight yourself in the Lord;
And He will give you
the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
and He will do it.
6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
And your judgment as
the noonday.
7 Rest in the Lord
and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because
of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man
who carries out wicked schemes.
8 Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
Do not fret; it
leads only to evildoing.
9 For evildoers will be cut off,
But those who wait
for the Lord, they will inherit
the land.
10 Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more;
And you will look
carefully for his place and he will not be there.
11 But the humble will inherit the land
And will delight
themselves in abundant prosperity.
12 The wicked plots against the righteous
And gnashes at him
with his teeth.
13 The Lord laughs at him,
For He sees his day
is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow
To cast down the
afflicted and the needy,
To slay those who are
upright in conduct.
15 Their sword will enter their own heart,
And their bows will
be broken.
16 Better is the little of the righteous
Than the abundance of
many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked will be broken,
But the Lord sustains the righteous.
18 The Lord knows the
days of the blameless,
And their inheritance
will be forever.
19 They will not be ashamed in the time of evil,
And in the days of
famine they will have abundance.
20 But the wicked will perish;
And the enemies of
the Lord will be like the glory of
the pastures,
They vanish—like
smoke they vanish away.
21 The wicked borrows and does not pay back,
But the righteous is
gracious and gives.
22 For those blessed by Him will inherit the land,
But those cursed by
Him will be cut off.
23 The steps of a man are established by the Lord,
And He delights in
his way.
24 When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong,
Because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.
25 I have been young and now I am old,
Yet I have not seen
the righteous forsaken
Or his descendants
begging bread.
26 All day long he is gracious and lends,
And his descendants
are a blessing.
27 Depart from evil and do good,
So you will abide
forever.
28 For the Lord loves
justice
And does not forsake
His godly ones;
They are preserved
forever,But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.
29
The righteous will inherit the land
And dwell in it
forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
And his tongue speaks
justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart;
His steps do not
slip.
32 The wicked spies upon the righteous
And seeks to kill
him.
33 The Lord will not
leave him in his hand
Or let him be condemned
when he is judged.
34 Wait for the Lord and
keep His way,
And He will exalt you
to inherit the land;
When the wicked are
cut off, you will see it.
35 I have seen a wicked, violent man
Spreading himself
like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.
36 Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more;
I sought for him, but
he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright;
For the man of peace
will have a posterity.
38 But transgressors will be altogether destroyed;
The posterity of the
wicked will be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
He is their strength
in time of trouble.
40 The Lord helps them
and delivers them;
He delivers them from
the wicked and saves them,
Because they take
refuge in Him
Psalm 31:23-24 – Be Strong and of Good
Courage
23
O love the Lord, all you His godly
ones!
The Lord preserves the faithful
And fully recompenses
the proud doer.
24 Be strong and let your heart take courage,
All you who hope in
the Lord.[5]
