First Things First Verses

"Think on these things"

"Make a JOYFUL sound unto the Lord".   Don't forget what joy sounds like.
It is an GIFT from your Father.  An IMPARTATION from His Spirit to yours.

POINT TAKEN.  Thank you.   I'll look for a more fitting verse/passage.  Or you may know some. 

Joshua 1:9

My favorite~

A heart broken open finds both gladness and sorrow in this world. 
And He is There.

I think  that you can get it on your computer Dove by clicking on the little  "printer friendly version" icon in the upper right corner... after going there, If you have chrome, click on the little 3 vertical dots in the upper corner of computer and  a menu will pop down click on more tools and you will see another drop down menu with the words "save as" . I did that and is is now on my computer. Sometimes I add to the title in the box that pops up to show its location so that I know what it is. 
 I'm not sure about computer stuff, but this did work for me.

Thanks BC!  I did go as far as opening the printer version, but that was it.

And thank you for such great  encouraging posts  all around .

I like bringing these because you could print them out and have them nearby. 

Scripture likewise warns against trusting others, other than God! Even one's own self Pr. 3:5-6. With a notable exception -- The Proverbs 31 Wife!! (As for the rest, trust as far as you can forgive; and even then, one might find their faith stretched & tent enlarged.)

Ah, Forgiveness.  
Please don't ever think I think I'm "all that".  It took dying to see-to live some things I say.
But, with that said, I can hardy describe the difference between our efforts to achieve the Word,
and how it is In Him. 
There is such Effortlessness in Him.  Complete and total Forgiveness is..is..a given.  The thought
and feeling about it is "Well yes!  Of course!"  And then there it is, within you, just like that.

We struggle with these things sometimes.  But with Him?  It's so FINISHED that it isn't
worth a nano-second of thought.   It is Full, thorough, and complete.  As in, why would you even
ask?  
THEN comes the realization that as He forgives in us those that have wronged us, He also in
that SAME FULLNESS forgives us.
He gives us the Full measure of forgiveness for others so that we may fulfill His Will.
And He gives us the same for ourselves. 
 
Do we fall back?  I do, often.  That Higher Standard is only possible in Him.  So,
once again, I don't seek to forgive (in my own strength).  I seek Him, and let His Forgiveness flow in and through me.

Now, where else in my life does this apply?  (hint: everywhere) lol.  We need to become aware,
and then take the appropriate steps of Seeking Him First, In ALL Things.  
What a Wonderful Gift is His Presence.  It's Everything. And In Him you have everything. 

That's a Kingdom Law.  The Key to having everything is 'Having Everything'.
(I suppose that could use a little explanation..but think on it.  )

And there is a second  Kingdom Law here.  In order to have anything, we must first give it.  That is how we acknowledge Him in All Our Ways. That is how we 'live out' the First Key. 


I came to post this~I just liked it. 

Awesome song.  Good thoughts to hold for the appropriate time?

Psalm 37  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalms+37&version=AKJV

Fret not thyself because of evildoers,
neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
² For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
and wither as the green herb.
³ Trust in the Lord, and do good;
so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
⁴ Delight thyself also in the Lord;
and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
⁵ Commit thy way unto the Lord;
trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
⁶ And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,
and thy judgment as the noonday.
⁷ Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him:
fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way,
because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
⁸ Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:
fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
⁹ For evildoers shall be cut off:
but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
¹⁰ For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be:
yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
¹¹ But the meek shall inherit the earth;
and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
¹² The wicked plotteth against the just,
and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
¹³ The Lord shall laugh at him

for he seeth that his day is coming.
¹⁴ The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,
to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
¹⁵ Their sword shall enter into their own heart,
and their bows shall be broken.
¹⁶ A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
¹⁷ For the arms of the wicked shall be broken:
but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.
¹⁸ The Lord knoweth the days of the upright:
and their inheritance shall be for ever.
¹⁹ They shall not be ashamed in the evil time:
and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
²⁰ But the wicked shall perish,
and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs:
they shall consume;
into smoke shall they consume away.
²¹ The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again:
but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
²² For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth;
and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
²³ The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord:
contd

and he delighteth in his way.
²⁴ Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:
for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
²⁵ I have been young, and now am old;
yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
²⁶ He is ever merciful, and lendeth;
and his seed is blessed.
²⁷ Depart from evil, and do good;
and dwell for evermore.
²⁸ For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints;
they are preserved for ever:
but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
²⁹ The righteous shall inherit the land,
and dwell therein for ever.
³⁰ The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom,
and his tongue talketh of judgment.
³¹ The law of his God is in his heart;
none of his steps shall slide.
³² The wicked watcheth the righteous,
and seeketh to slay him.
³³ The Lord will not leave him in his hand,
nor condemn him when he is judged.
³⁴ Wait on the Lord, and keep his way,
and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land:
when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
³⁵ I have seen the wicked in great power,
and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not:
yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
³⁷ Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright:
for the end of that man is peace.
³⁸ But the transgressors shall be destroyed together:
the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
³⁹ But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord:
he is their strength in the time of trouble.
⁴⁰ And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them:
he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them,
because they trust in him.
