Psalms 49-51

Psa 49:1 Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,

Psa 49:2 both low and high, rich and poor together.

Psa 49:3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart shall utter understanding.

Psa 49:4 I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will open my riddle on the harp.

Psa 49:5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?

Psa 49:6 Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches--

Psa 49:7 none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

Psa 49:8 For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,

Psa 49:9 That he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.

Psa 49:10 For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.

Psa 49:11 Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.

Psa 49:12 But man, despite his riches, doesn't endure. He is like the animals that perish.

Psa 49:13 This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. Selah.

Psa 49:14 They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.

Psa 49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah.

Psa 49:16 Don't be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased.

Psa 49:17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him.

Psa 49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul-- and men praise you when you do well for yourself--

Psa 49:19 he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.

Psa 49:20 A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.

 

Psa 50:1 The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks, and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.

Psa 50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.

Psa 50:3 Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.

Psa 50:4 He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:

Psa 50:5 "Gather my saints together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

Psa 50:6 The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Selah.

Psa 50:7 "Hear, my people, and I will speak; Israel, and I will testify against you. I am God, your God.

Psa 50:8 I don't rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.

Psa 50:9 I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.

Psa 50:10 For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.

Psa 50:11 I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.

Psa 50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

Psa 50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

Psa 50:14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.

Psa 50:15 Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

Psa 50:16 But to the wicked God says, "What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,

Psa 50:17 seeing you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?

Psa 50:18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.

Psa 50:19 "You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.

Psa 50:20 You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother's son.

Psa 50:21 You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that the I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

Psa 50:22 "Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.

Psa 50:23 Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and prepares his way so that I will show God's salvation to him."

 

Psa 51:1 Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

Psa 51:2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.

Psa 51:3 For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me.

Psa 51:4 Against you, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.

Psa 51:5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me.

Psa 51:6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

Psa 51:7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Psa 51:8 Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.

Psa 51:9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities.

Psa 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

Psa 51:11 Don't throw me from your presence, and don't take your holy Spirit from me.

Psa 51:12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.

Psa 51:13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways. Sinners shall be converted to you.

Psa 51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

Psa 51:15 Lord, open my lips. My mouth shall declare your praise.

Psa 51:16 For you don't delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.

Psa 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

Psa 51:18 Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.

Psa 51:19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.

Sept. 8 1 Corinthians 4

Sept. 8

1 Corinthians 4

1Co 4:1 So let a man think of us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries.

1Co 4:2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful.

1Co 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I don't judge my own self.

1Co 4:4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

1Co 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

1Co 4:6 Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.

1Co 4:7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn't receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

1Co 4:8 You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you.

1Co 4:9 For, I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.

1Co 4:10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.

1Co 4:11 Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.

1Co 4:12 We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.

1Co 4:13 Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.

1Co 4:14 I don't write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

1Co 4:15 For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.

1Co 4:16 I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.

1Co 4:17 Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

1Co 4:18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

1Co 4:19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

1Co 4:20 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

1Co 4:21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

"THE FIRST EPISTLE TO TIMOTHY" Chapter Three by Mark Copeland

                     "THE FIRST EPISTLE TO TIMOTHY"

                             Chapter Three

OBJECTIVES IN STUDYING THIS CHAPTER

1) To examine the qualifications necessary for bishops and deacons

2) To appreciate the noble view that Paul has of the church

SUMMARY

In this chapter we find the qualifications necessary for those who 
would serve as bishops in the local congregation (1-7).  A similar list
is included for those who would be deacons (8-13).

Paul then explains the purpose in writing this epistle.  Though hoping
to come soon, he writes so that Timothy will be well-instructed on how
to conduct himself in the house of God, which is the church, the pillar
and ground of the truth (14-15).  Mention of "the truth" prompts a 
summation of "the mystery of godliness" which pertains to the coming of
Christ into the world (16).

Find your quiet place by Terry Sturtevant

Find your quiet place

by 

Terry Sturtevant

Isaiah, Chapter 26

 2 Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter:
the one which keeps faith.
  3 You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace,
because he trusts in you.
  4 Trust in Yahweh forever;
for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting Rock.

The world is a busy and often noisy place. Jet planes, loud traffic, noisy restaurants and watching the local news all can contribute to an overworked mind.

I have a quiet place. I'm not going to share with you it's secret location because when I am there it is peaceful. Many would guess it is our cottage on the lake. It is wonderful and soothing for the soul. But it is only available to us  for about five months and then only on weekends. It is good for body, mind and soul. It however, is not my quiet place.

In my quiet place I have room to move about, exercise if I want and work. I can play music if I like. Any type of music I like. I also have a computer and a television. Yet I don't use them a lot when its my quiet time. It's a place to read, relax, listen and think.

I like to pray there as well. I think it's the quiet atmosphere that fills me with joy. Not that I want to be a hermit. Rather, I wish to feel alone next to God. No interruptions. It works for me.

I know of friends who find that in nature. They hike, fish, cross country ski, go for long long walks and some even run for miles at a time.

You might find your place at night in your bed. It might be alone in a large farm field. Make a space in your attic or a spare room. I know a man who finds comfort in a rocking chair on his front porch. He thinks and prays and never forgets to wave to the drivers as they drive past his home. It really is where ever you find comfort and joy.

My quiet place releases stress and quiets the mind. It lifts the spirit and clarifies my thinking. It's a satisfying feeling of feeding the soul.

Sing if you like or read the Word of God and pray.

Go there as often as you need solace.

I encourage you to visit a quiet place often.

Psa 48:14 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.

Sept. 7 1 Corinthians 3

Sept. 7

1 Corinthians 3

1Co 3:1 Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.

1Co 3:2 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren't yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready,

1Co 3:3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren't you fleshly, and don't you walk in the ways of men?

1Co 3:4 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," aren't you fleshly?

1Co 3:5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him?

1Co 3:6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.

1Co 3:7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

1Co 3:8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

1Co 3:9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's farming, God's building.

1Co 3:10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.

1Co 3:11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

1Co 3:12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble;

1Co 3:13 each man's work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man's work is.

1Co 3:14 If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.

1Co 3:15 If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

1Co 3:16 Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?

1Co 3:17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are.

1Co 3:18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He has taken the wise in their craftiness."

1Co 3:20 And again, "The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless."

1Co 3:21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,

1Co 3:22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,

1Co 3:23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

"THE FIRST EPISTLE TO TIMOTHY" Chapter Two by Mark Copeland

                     "THE FIRST EPISTLE TO TIMOTHY"

                              Chapter Two

OBJECTIVES IN STUDYING THIS CHAPTER

1) To appreciate the importance and place of prayer, especially in the
   lives of men

2) To notice God's desire for the salvation of all men, therefore 
   offering Christ as a ransom for all, not just a select few

3) To understand the proper adornment of women, and their place in the
   public teaching of the church

SUMMARY

Having reminded Timothy of his charge to remain in Ephesus and "wage
the good warfare", Paul now begins instructing Timothy in matters that
involve the church.  He starts with a call to prayer, defining for whom
and why we should pray.  His desire is that men pray in every place,
lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting (1-8).

Just as men are to pray everywhere, so women are to adorn themselves
properly.  This involves modest apparel worn with propriety and 
moderation, but it also includes good works, as is proper for women 
professing godliness.  Also proper is women learning in silence 
(translated peaceable in verse 2) with all submission.  Therefore a 
woman is not permitted to teach or have authority over a man.  Basing 
this restriction on the relationship of Adam, Eve, and the fall, Paul 
reminds them they can be saved in their natural role of childbearing if
they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control (9-15).
