Psalm 36, the Evil and the Just!

Psa 36:1-2, … the transgression of the wicked: THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE HIS EYES. FOR HE FLATTERS HIMSELF IN HIS OWN EYES, WHEN HE FINDS OUT HIS INIQUITY AND WHEN HE HATES.

The wicked have no concept of sin, to them it’s just normal life! They lie, steal and cheat, yet in their eyes it’s not wrong as long as they don’t get caught!

Psa 36:3-4, The words of his mouth are WICKEDNESS AND DECEIT; He has ceased to be wise and to do good. HE DEVISES WICKEDNESS ON HIS BED; He sets himself in a way that is not good; He does not abhor evil

BUT THE LORD SEES AND HEARS ALL! ONE DAY, EVEN IDLE WORDS WILL NEED TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR!

Mat 12:36, And I tell you this, YOU MUST GIVE AN ACCOUNT ON JUDGMENT DAY FOR EVERY IDLE WORD YOU SPEAK. 

The day of the LORD comes with wrath against the inhabitants of this world!

Isa 13:11, “I WILL PUNISH THE WORLD FOR ITS EVIL, AND THE WICKED FOR THEIR INIQUITY; I WILL HALT THE ARROGANCE OF THE PROUD, AND WILL LAY LOW THE HAUGHTINESS OF THE TERRIBLE. 

But the righteous who know their GOD say!

Psa 36:7-9, HOW PRECIOUS IS YOUR LOVINGKINDNESS, O GOD! THEREFORE THE CHILDREN OF MEN PUT THEIR TRUST UNDER THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS. THEY ARE ABUNDANTLY SATISFIED WITH THE FULLNESS OF YOUR HOUSE, AND YOU GIVE THEM DRINK FROM THE RIVER OF YOUR PLEASURES. FOR WITH YOU IS THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE; IN YOUR LIGHT WE SEE LIGHT.

It’s just amazing in my eyes how the LORD can love people? We are all wretched and sinful, YET HE shows HIS love for us? Job said,

Job 7:17, “What is man, that You should exalt him, THAT YOU SHOULD SET YOUR HEART ON HIM, 

IT’S NOT ABOUT MAN, IT’S ABOUT THE LORD! FOR HE IS LOVE, HE IS RIGHTEOUS, HE IS JUST! EVIL MEN WILL GET THEIR JUST REWARD, BUT TO THOSE WHO KNOW THEIR GOD HE WILL SPEND ETERNITY IN HIS PRESENCE! HE IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD FOLLOW HIM, SEEK HIM AND PRAISE HIM!

Psalm 35, HIS way!

Psa 35:7, For WITHOUT CAUSE they have hidden their net for me in a pit, Which they have dug without cause for my life.

Like a hunter setting a trap for his pray; without a reason his enemies lie in wait for him to fall in their trap!

Psa 35:8, Let destruction come upon him unexpectedly, And let his net that he has hidden catch himself; Into that very destruction let him fall.

David know the LORD can change any situation! Remember Haman, built gallows on his own property to kill Mordecai!

Est 7:10, SO THEY HANGED HAMAN ON THE GALLOWS THAT HE HAD PREPARED FOR MORDECAI. Then the king’s wrath subsided. 

Psa 35:12, THEY REWARD ME EVIL FOR GOOD, TO THE SORROW OF MY SOUL. 

JESUS spoke gracious words to HIS people and performed many merciful miracles on the needy! HE made the blind see, and the deaf hear! HE called them friends YET, THEY CRIED OUT CRUCIFY HIM

Zec 13:6, AND ONE WILL SAY TO HIM, ‘WHAT ARE THESE WOUNDS BETWEEN YOUR ARMS?’ THEN HE WILL ANSWER, ‘THOSE WITH WHICH I WAS WOUNDED IN THE HOUSE OF MY FRIENDS.’ 

HE calls us friends yet, because of us HE was wounded, tortured and killed on a wooden cross at calvary!

Isa 53:5, BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE CHASTISEMENT FOR OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM, AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. 

Psa 35:13-14, But as for me, WHEN THEY WERE SICK, My clothing was sackcloth; I HUMBLED MYSELF WITH FASTING; …. I PACED ABOUT AS THOUGH HE WERE MY FRIEND OR BROTHER; I BOWED DOWN HEAVILY, AS ONE WHO MOURNS FOR HIS MOTHER.

JESUS said, to love our enemies, do good to does that hurt you and pray for them (Matt 5:44)!

Pro 25:21-22, If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; For so you will heap coals of fire on his head, And the LORD will reward you.

HIS way is not the worlds way, but we follow HIM! Seek the LORD and do good!

Psalm 34, the LORD is good!

Psa 34:1-2, …I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

The LORD was always in David’s mind! Whatever David did he was always giving thanks to the LORD! SO MUST WE!

Col 3:17, AND WHATEVER YOU DO IN WORD OR DEED, DO ALL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS, GIVING THANKS TO GOD THE FATHER THROUGH HIM. 

Psa 34:3-4, OH, MAGNIFY THE LORD WITH ME, AND LET US EXALT HIS NAME TOGETHER. I SOUGHT THE LORD, AND HE HEARD ME, AND DELIVERED ME FROM ALL MY FEARS.

David constantly sought the LORD for he was pursued by Saul who wanted to kill him! THE LORD HEARD HIS CRY FOR HELP

Psa 34:15, THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HIS EARS ARE OPEN TO THEIR CRY. 

Righteous doesn’t mean perfect for all men have sinned! BEING RIGHTEOUS IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD IS CONSTANTLY SEEKING THE LORD AND HUMBLING YOURSELF BEFORE HIM! TEACHING OTHERS REGARDING THE LORD AND DOING WHAT HE HAS GIVEN YOU TO DO! RIGHTEOUSNESS IS WISDOM AND THE WISE SHALL SHINE LIKE STARS ABOVE!

Dan 12:3, Those who are WISE SHALL SHINE Like the brightness of the firmament, AND THOSE WHO TURN MANY TO RIGHTEOUSNESS LIKE THE STARS FOREVER AND EVER. 

Psa 34:17-19, THE RIGHTEOUS CRY OUT, AND THE LORD HEARS, AND DELIVERS THEM OUT OF ALL THEIR TROUBLES. The LORD is near to those who have a BROKEN HEART, And saves such as have a CONTRITE SPIRIT. MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT THE LORD DELIVERS HIM OUT OF THEM ALL.

Cry out to the LORD all you people; seek HIS face for that is true wisdom! HE is our refuge and strength in times of trouble! THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE HEARS OUR CRY! HE IS GOOD AND BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO KNOWS HIM!

Psa 34:8, OH, TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD; BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN HIM! 

Psalm 33, HE is worthy to be praised!

Psa 33:1-3, Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous! FOR PRAISE FROM THE UPRIGHT IS BEAUTIFUL. Praise the LORD with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings. Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

I’ve been in many worship services where the praise for HIM overwhelmed me! Can you imagine worship in heaven? Wow!

Rev 19:6-7, AND I HEARD, as it were, THE VOICE OF A GREAT MULTITUDE, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “ALLELUIA! FOR THE LORD GOD OMNIPOTENT REIGNS! LET US BE GLAD AND REJOICE AND GIVE HIM GLORY, FOR THE MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB HAS COME, AND HIS WIFE HAS MADE HERSELF READY.”

Psa 33:6, 8-9, BY THE WORD OF THE LORD THE HEAVENS WERE MADE, AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM BY THE BREATH OF HIS MOUTH…LET ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD STAND IN AWE OF HIM. FOR HE SPOKE, AND IT WAS DONE; HE COMMANDED, AND IT STOOD FAST.

By just HIS word, the breath of HIS mouth HE created everything! WHO IS LIKE OUR GOD? HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRIASED!

Isa 46:9, … FOR I AM GOD, AND THERE IS NO OTHER; I AM GOD, AND THERE IS NONE LIKE ME, 

Rev 4:11, “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.” 

One day we will stand before the KING and we will be surprised when we see HIM! FOR I BELIEVE THAT HE WILL STILL HAVE THE SCARS AND THE MARKS THAT WE GAVE HIM, BECAUSE OF OUR SINS!

Rev 5:6, AND I LOOKED, AND BEHOLD, IN THE MIDST OF THE THRONE and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, STOOD A LAMB AS THOUGH IT HAD BEEN SLAIN,…

ALWAYS REMEMBER, IT WASN’T THE NAILS THAT HELD HIM ON THE CROSS; IT WAS HIS LOVE FOR YOU”!  GIVE HIM PRAISE YOU HIS PEOPLE FOR HE IS WORTHY!

Psalm 32, Being forgiven!

Psa 32:1-2, …BLESSED IS HE WHOSE TRANSGRESSION IS FORGIVEN, WHOSE SIN IS COVERED. BLESSED IS THE MAN TO WHOM THE LORD DOES NOT IMPUTE INIQUITY, AND IN WHOSE SPIRIT THERE IS NO DECEIT.

Mans greatest need, even though many don’t know it, is to be forgiven from their sins! Remember when JESUS healed the Paralytic man!

Luk 5:20, When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN YOU.” 

Did the paralytic man arise? NO, JESUS SAW HIS GREATEST NEED WAS TO BE FORGIVEN NOT MADE WELL!

Luk 5:24, BUT THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT THE SON OF MAN HAS POWER ON EARTH TO FORGIVE SINS”—He said to the man who was paralyzed, “I SAY TO YOU, ARISE, TAKE UP YOUR BED, AND GO TO YOUR HOUSE.” 

Men only see the external and are completely blind to the internal man! Being made well is indeed a true blessing, but without the forgiveness of sin it is hopeless!

Isa 1:18, “Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “THOUGH YOUR SINS ARE LIKE SCARLET, THEY SHALL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW; THOUGH THEY ARE RED LIKE CRIMSON, THEY SHALL BE AS WOOL.

Psa 32:5, I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah 

Once forgiven are we then perfect? NO, were still sinners! Don’t try to hide your sins for HE sees all and knows all! Confess them!

1Jn 1:9-10, IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. IF WE SAY THAT WE HAVE NOT SINNED, WE MAKE HIM A LIAR, AND HIS WORD IS NOT IN US.

I’m a sinner saved by HIS grace, not that I deserve it, but because I took hold of HIS gift!

Psa 32:6, For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You In a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters They shall not come near him.

There is a storm of judgement coming to the earth, don’t be part of that! Seek the LORD now while HE may be found and confess your sins! HE IS ALWAYS LISTENING! 

Psalm 31, HE is faithful!

Psa 31:1, …In You, O LORD, I PUT MY TRUST; LET ME NEVER BE ASHAMED; Deliver me in Your righteousness. 

Because of your faith many people will mock you in times of trouble; ISN’T HE A CHRISTIAN, WHERE IS THE GOD WHO HE TRUSTED IN? He believes in GOD, yet he can’t find work, he can’t support his own family! Even JESUS on the cross was mocked!

Mat 27:43, HE TRUSTED IN GOD; LET HIM DELIVER HIM NOW if He will have Him; FOR HE SAID, ‘I AM THE SON OF GOD.’ ” 

Psa 31:2-3, Bow down Your ear to me, DELIVER ME SPEEDILY; Be my rock of refuge, A fortress of defense to SAVE ME. For You are my rock and my fortress; THEREFORE, FOR YOUR NAME’S SAKE, Lead me and guide me.

LORD, as they mock me they also mock YOU; FOR THE HONOR OF YOUR NAME save me!

When I was laid off from work, I remember my family telling me, “you still don’t have a job”!  I told them “IN HIS TIME THE LORD WILL PROVIDE”! They turned away and laughed, YET MY FAITHFUL AND AWESOME GOD DID OPEN DOORS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY!  ALL GLORY TO HIM FOR HE IS FAITHFUL!

Deu 7:9, “Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, THE FAITHFUL GOD WHO KEEPS COVENANT AND MERCY FOR A THOUSAND GENERATIONS WITH THOSE WHO LOVE HIM AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS; 

Do you know that HE honors HIS promises, and YOUR FAITH IN HIM?

Heb 11:6, But without FAITH it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Psa 31:23-24, Oh, LOVE THE LORD, ALL YOU HIS SAINTS! FOR THE LORD PRESERVES THE FAITHFUL, And fully repays the proud person. BE OF GOOD COURAGE, AND HE SHALL STRENGTHEN YOUR HEART, ALL YOU WHO HOPE IN THE LORD.

IN TIMES OF TROUBLE AND IN TIMES OF JOY STAND ON THE SOLID GROUND OF HIS WORD! FOR HE IS NOT A MAN THAT HE SHOULD LIE! SEEK AND HAVE FAITH IN HIM FOR HE IS FAITHFUL TO THOSE THAT LOVE HIM!

Psalm 30, Riches and Prosperity!

Psa 30:1, I WILL EXTOL YOU, O LORD, FOR YOU HAVE LIFTED ME UP, AND HAVE NOT LET MY FOES REJOICE OVER ME. 

The title of this Psalm is “A PSALM. A SONG AT THE DEDICATION OF THE HOUSE OF DAVID.”.

Most people when they buy or build a home would say, “Look what I’ve done”, but David gives all the honor to GOD! YOU HAVE LIFTED ME UP! In contrast, Nebuchadnezzar said.

Dan 4:30, The king spoke, saying, “Is not this great Babylon, THAT I HAVE BUILT for a royal dwelling BY MY MIGHTY POWER AND FOR THE HONOR OF MY MAJESTY?” 

After every accomplishment give GOD the glory that is due; for your intelligence and abilities was given to you by the LORD!

Psa 75:6-7, For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south. BUT GOD IS THE JUDGE: HE PUTS DOWN ONE, AND EXALTS ANOTHER.

Psa 30:6-7, NOW IN MY PROSPERITY I SAID, “I SHALL NEVER BE MOVED.” LORD, by YOUR FAVOR YOU HAVE MADE MY MOUNTAIN STAND STRONG; YOU HID YOUR FACE, AND I WAS TROUBLED.

In David’s prosperity HE SAID IN HIS HEART “I SHALL NOT BE MOVED”, YET he quickly realized that it was the LORD that gave him strength! When the LORD hid HIS presence from David, HE ONLY FOUND TROUBLE!

Pro 11:28, HE WHO TRUSTS IN HIS RICHES WILL FALL, BUT THE RIGHTEOUS WILL FLOURISH LIKE FOLIAGE. 

1Ti 6:17, COMMAND THOSE WHO ARE RICH IN THIS PRESENT AGE NOT TO BE HAUGHTY, NOR TO TRUST IN UNCERTAIN RICHES BUT IN THE LIVING GOD, WHO GIVES US RICHLY ALL THINGS TO ENJOY. 

Psa 30:12, TO THE END THAT MY GLORY MAY SING PRAISE TO YOU AND NOT BE SILENT. O LORD MY GOD, I WILL GIVE THANKS TO YOU FOREVER. 

Money is a useful tool, but never place your trust in riches; for the love of money is the root of all kinds of evils! PLACE YOUR TRUST IN THE LORD FOR HE IS ALWAYS WITH YOU!

Heb 13:5, … BE CONTENT WITH SUCH THINGS AS YOU HAVE. FOR HE HIMSELF HAS SAID, “I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.” 

Psalm 29, Exalt the LORD!

Psa 29:1-2, …GIVE UNTO THE LORD, O YOU MIGHTY ONES, GIVE UNTO THE LORD GLORY AND STRENGTH. GIVE UNTO THE LORD THE GLORY DUE TO HIS NAME; WORSHIP THE LORD IN THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS.

This is an awesome psalm of praise to the LORD! HONOR THE LORD FOR HIS GLORY AND STRENGTH! HONOR THE LORD FOR HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!

Rev 4:11, “YOU ARE WORTHY, O LORD OUR GOD, TO RECEIVE GLORY AND HONOR AND POWER. FOR YOU CREATED ALL THINGS, AND THEY EXIST BECAUSE YOU CREATED WHAT YOU PLEASED.” 

For everything we see around us give HIM praise! GIVE HIM PRAISE FOR YOUR FAMILY, FOR YOUR HEALTH, FOR YOUR JOB! GIVE HIM PRAISE FOR THE TRIALS THAT HE HELPED YOU GET OUT OF! FOR THE AIR YOU BREATH AND THE FOOD YOU EAT! GIVE HIM PRIASE!

Psa 29:3, The voice of the LORD is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The LORD is over many waters. 

The voice of the LORD is powerful controlling the wind and the seas! HIS voice is as thunder!

Mat 8:26-27, Jesus responded, “WHY ARE YOU AFRAID? YOU HAVE SO LITTLE FAITH!” THEN HE GOT UP AND REBUKED THE WIND AND WAVES, AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS A GREAT CALM. The disciples were amazed. “WHO IS THIS MAN?” THEY ASKED. “EVEN THE WINDS AND WAVES OBEY HIM!”

HE IS THE KING OF GLORY, THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING! WHEN STORMS ARISE IN OUR LIVES GIVE HIM GLORY; FOR HE IS ABLE TO CALM ANY STORM WITH JUST HIS VOICE!

Psa 29:4, 9, The VOICE of the LORD is POWERFUL; THE VOICE OF THE LORD IS FULL OF MAJESTY…. THE VOICE OF THE LORD MAKES THE DEER GIVE BIRTH, AND STRIPS THE FORESTS BARE; AND IN HIS TEMPLE EVERYONE SAYS, “GLORY!” 

This is our GOD! HIS VOICE DIVIDES THE FLAMES OF FIRE, SHAKES THE WILDERNESS, AND LIKE A NUCLEAR BOMB STRIPS THE FORESTS BARE! YET HE IS ALSO THERE HELPING THE DEER GIVE BIRTH!

MAKE TIME TODAY TO GIVE HIM THE GLORY DUE HIS NAME! NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING JUST GLORIFY AND EXALT HIS NAME!

Psalm 28, the ROCK!

Psa 28:1, TO YOU I WILL CRY, O LORD MY ROCK: DO NOT BE SILENT TO ME, LEST, IF YOU ARE SILENT TO ME, I BECOME LIKE THOSE WHO GO DOWN TO THE PIT. 

The new testament tells us to build on the ROCK for when storms arise we will not be moved! A SURE SOLID FOUNDATION IS HE!

Luk 6:48, …AND LAID THE FOUNDATION ON THE ROCK. AND WHEN THE FLOOD AROSE, THE STREAM BEAT VEHEMENTLY AGAINST THAT HOUSE, AND COULD NOT SHAKE IT, FOR IT WAS FOUNDED ON THE ROCK. 

Moses once said “PLEASE, SHOW ME YOUR GLORY” and the LORD placed him on the ROCK! FOR ONLY THOSE ON THE ROCK WILL BE ABLE TO SEE HIS GLORY!

Exo 33:22, So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I WILL PUT YOU IN THE CLEFT OF THE ROCK, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. 

David knew without guidance from the LORD his ROCK, he would end up in the pit of hell!

Deu 32:3-4, FOR I PROCLAIM THE NAME OF THE LORD: ASCRIBE GREATNESS TO OUR GOD. HE IS THE ROCK, HIS WORK IS PERFECT; FOR ALL HIS WAYS ARE JUSTICE, A GOD OF TRUTH AND WITHOUT INJUSTICE; RIGHTEOUS AND UPRIGHT IS HE.

Psa 28:2, Hear the voice of my supplications When I cry to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

As a son crying for his FATHER; David cried out to the LORD! Hear me LORD! At times it may appear like the LORD isn’t doing anything, but it only looks that way! FOR HE IS ALWAYS WORKING ALWAYS TAKING CARE OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM!

Psa 37:25, I HAVE BEEN YOUNG, AND NOW AM OLD; YET I HAVE NOT SEEN THE RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN, NOR HIS DESCENDANTS BEGGING BREAD. 

Psa 121:4, BEHOLD, HE WHO KEEPS ISRAEL SHALL NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP. 

SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND! SEEK HIS FACE DAILY FOR HE THE ROCK OF OUR STRENGTH; A SURE AND SOLID FOUNDATION! SPEAK TO THE ROCK AND HE WILL GIVE YOU LIVING WATER!

Psalm 27, The light of the world!

Psa 27:1, …THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION; WHOM SHALL I FEAR? THE LORD IS THE STRENGTH OF MY LIFE; OF WHOM SHALL I BE AFRAID? 

IF YOU HAVE COME TO FAITH IN HIM, THEN WHY FEAR? IF HE IS YOUR DAILY SOURCE OF STRENGTH THEN WHY BE AFRAID? Before coming to CHRIST we walked in darkness, but now as we follow the LIGHT OF THE WORLD we can clearly see the path!

Joh 8:12, Then JESUS spoke to them again, saying, “I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. HE WHO FOLLOWS ME SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE.” 

Psa 27:3, Though an army may encamp against me, MY HEART SHALL NOT FEAR; Though war may rise against me, IN THIS I WILL BE CONFIDENT. 

DAVID KNOWS HIS GOD DO YOU? HE IS NOT MOVED BY THE PRESENCE OF AN ENEMY FOR HE PUTS HIS COMPLETE TRUST IN THE LORD! WHEN HE OPENS OUR EYES THEN WE CAN CLEARLY SEE GOD’S ARMY PROTECTING US!

2Ki 6:17, And Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I PRAY, OPEN HIS EYES THAT HE MAY SEE.” THEN THE LORD OPENED THE EYES OF THE YOUNG MAN, AND HE SAW. AND BEHOLD, THE MOUNTAIN WAS FULL OF HORSES AND CHARIOTS OF FIRE ALL AROUND ELISHA. 

Not that Christians wont die, but that if and when we do, we know that HE is always there!

2Cor 5:7-8, For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

Psa 27:4, One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: THAT I MAY DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE, TO BEHOLD THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD, AND TO INQUIRE IN HIS TEMPLE. 

David desired more than anything to dwell in the house of the LORD; THIS IS OUR HOPE AS WELL! SOON OUR BLESSED HOPE WILL APPEAR AND WE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH THE LORD!  BLESSED BE HIS NAME!

Joh 14:3, And if I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU TO MYSELF; THAT WHERE I AM, THERE YOU MAY BE ALSO.
