And make the crooked places straight;

And hidden riches of secret places,
That you may know that I, the Lord,
Who call you by your name,
Am the God of Israel.

And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,

On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles at My word.

They found no city to dwell in.

7 And He led them forth by the right way,
That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.

And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

Bound in affliction and irons—

They fell down, and there was none to help.

And He saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And broke their chains in pieces.

And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

26 They mount up to the heavens,
They go down again to the depths;
Their soul melts because of trouble.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
And are at their wits’ end.
28 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brings them out of their distresses.
29 He calms the storm,
So that its waves are still.

And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
32 Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people,
And praise Him in the company of the elders.
33 He turns rivers into a wilderness,
And the watersprings into dry ground;
34 A fruitful land into barrenness,
For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
35 He turns a wilderness into pools of water,
And dry land into watersprings.
36 There He makes the hungry dwell,
That they may establish a city for a dwelling place,
37 And sow fields and plant vineyards,
That they may yield a fruitful harvest.
38 He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly;
And He does not let their cattle decrease.
39 When they are diminished and brought low
Through oppression, affliction, and sorrow,
40 He pours contempt on princes,
And causes them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way;
41 Yet He sets the poor on high, far from affliction,
And makes their families like a flock.
42 The righteous see it and rejoice,
And all iniquity stops its mouth.
43 Whoever is wise will observe these things,
And they will understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.

He sent His word....

He sent His word and healed them,
And delivered them from their destructions.

And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

And declare His works with rejoicing.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows; for so He gives His beloved sleep.

Trouble - You will revive me

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me.

The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy Oh Lord endures forever; Do not forsake the works of your hands.

Cause me....

Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to You.

God's Word - The word runs swiftly

He sends out His command to the earth;
His word runs very swiftly.

Fullness of joy

You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

God's Face

As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness;
I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.

Empowerment

It is God who arms me with strength,
And makes my way perfect.
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
And sets me on my high places.
He teaches my hands to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your right hand has held me up,
Your gentleness has made me great.
You enlarged my path under me,
So my feet did not slip.

God's Word - The statutes of the Lord

The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

The lord saves His annointed

May He grant you according to your heart's desire, and fulfill all your purpose.

We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed;
He will answer him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of His right hand.

The lord saves His annointed

Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed;
He will answer him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of His right hand.

Save - Save Lord!

Save, Lord!
May the King answer us when we call.

Peace - The Lord is my Shepherd

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.

He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.

87 The 23rd Psalm: The Lord is My Shepherd

The Lord is my shepherd, I
shall not be in want.

for his name’s sake.

all the days of my life,

forever.

Covenant

The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him,
And He will show them His covenant.
My eyes are ever toward the Lord,
For He shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Bring me out of my distresses!

Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me,
For I am desolate and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart have enlarged;
Bring me out of my distresses!
Look on my affliction and my pain,
And forgive all my sins.

Show me your ways

Show me Your ways, O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.
Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
On You I wait all the day.

Mercy

Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they are from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions;
According to Your mercy remember me,
For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.

Wait on the Lord

Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!

Guidance

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.

Suffering

Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
He guards all his bones;
Not one of them is broken.
Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

Angel - the angel of the Lord encamps

The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them.

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!
There is no want to those who fear Him.

The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

Let them be joyful & glad

But let them be joyful and glad that love my righteousness, and let them say always, let the Lord be magnified which loves the prosperity of His servant.

Steps of a good man

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,
And He delights in his way.

Delight

Delight yourself also in the LORD,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.

Anger

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret - it only causes harm.

The Lord be magnified!

Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
Let such as love Your salvation say continually,
“The Lord be magnified!”

Why are you cast down?

Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
For the help of His countenance.

81 Faith: Trusting God and Resting in His Word

I will lie down and sleep in peace,
for you alone, O Lord,
make me dwell in safety.

41 Promises: Verses to Stand On

Oppression - Voice of the enemy

2 Attend to me and hear me, I am restless in my complaint and moan noisily,

3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked, for they bring down trouble upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

9 Destroy, oh Lord, and divide their tongues...

80 Faith: Trusting God and Resting in His Word

When I am afraid,
I will trust in you.

Testing - You have brought us out

For You, O God, have tested us;
You have refined us as silver is refined.

You brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs.

You have caused men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.

Enemies - Ashamed

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity;
For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

The Lord has heard my supplication;
The Lord will receive my prayer.

Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled;
Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.

Enemy - Turn back

Let them be ashamed and confounded
Who seek my life;
Let them be turned back and confused
Who desire my hurt.

That I might not sin against You.

98 Alpha and Omega: The First and Second Comings of Christ

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

“You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”

9 The Roman Road: The Plan of Salvation

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

Christ - Law

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Salvation - Confession

But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach):

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

8 The Roman Road: The Plan of Salvation

That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Salvation - Confess with your mouth

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

God's Wisdom

For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

78 Faith: Trusting God and Resting in His Word-Week 16 Salvation

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

A. Live the new life-Witnessing

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

79 Faith: Trusting God and Resting in His Word

For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

44 Holiness: Obeying God's Commands

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.

46 Holiness: Obeying God's Commands

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

47 Holiness: Obeying God's Commands

Be Joyful in hope, Patient in affliction, Faithful in prayer. Jonathan Paul Feldkamp

Compassion

Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

48 Holiness: Obeying God's Commands

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Separate from the World

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

45 Holiness: Obeying God's Commands

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Overcome

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with goodness

Love

Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

The kingdom of God

for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

God of hope

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Justification

even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

5 The Roman Road: The Plan of Salvation

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Faith - According to Grace

Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

(as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

God calls those things which do not exist

...God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist, as though they did.

Faith

He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

Work

Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.
But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,

Justification

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Faith - Justified by faith

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope by the glory of God.

7 The Roman Road: The Plan of Salvation

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Self Control

12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

Salvation - Set free from sin

But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Sin's Penalty

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

6 The Roman Road: The Plan of Salvation

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Baptism

Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Spirit - we do not walk according to the flesh

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Spirit Gives Life

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

No Condemnation

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

Living in the Spirit

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

34 Promises: Verses to Stand On

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

All things work together for good

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

His Provision

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

Salvation - Righteousness Fulfilled

For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Nothing shall separate us....

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Flesh - Spirit

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

Death - Life

So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

Mercy

So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.

The winter is past

For lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.

Anger; sin list

For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

Salvation Not By Works

not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

End of Pride

In that day you shall not be shamed for any of your deeds
In which you transgress against Me;
For then I will take away from your midst
Those who rejoice in your pride,
And you shall no longer be haughty
In My holy mountain.
I will leave in your midst
A meek and humble people,
And they shall trust in the name of the Lord.
