SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
|
John 10:27 |
|
|
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. KJV |
My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. NIV |
|
Jeremiah 10:23 |
|
|
O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. KJV |
Lord, I know that people’s lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. NIV |
|
Matthew 18:3 |
|
|
Unless ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. KJV |
Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. NIV |
O the horror of human ignorance since God has made known His ways to us. If a man will not obey the Lord, it matters not who He will obey: He is lost! True victory is not apparent to the natural man. Nor is it apparent to the carnal man. The only way we can know what God is really doing is by conversion and going on with the Lord and making progress, step by step seeking His face in all we do. Building on the foundation that Jesus laid at Calvary. O what blessings are in store for those who do!

Revelation 3:20 |
|
|
Behold I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him and he with Me. KJV |
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with Me. NIV |
Every person is lord of his own heart. It is his fortress. And only he can open the gates of it. He has the prerogative and privilege of refusing to open. If he refuses, he alone is responsible for the consequences.
|
Revelation 3:11 |
|
|
Behold I come quickly: hold that which thou hast that no man take thy crown. KJV |
I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. NIV |
As a believer, don’t be hindered and don’t be discouraged. Don’t let anyone rob you of the victor’s crown: it is so near at hand.
