2 Peter 3: 13 NLT

Psalm 122 & Psalm 123 from Psalms / Now

How good it is to enter the

of the Lord!

I know that God is not confined within our four-walled creations, nor is He attached to altars and brass symbols. And yet, in the beauty and quietness of God’s house, I find His presence very real and fulfilling.

God is with me and around me even as I make my way through the concrete and steel jungles of the cold and unfriendly city.

He is present even behind the anonymous faces of the rushing crowds elbowing their way to their respective destinations..

I find Him in the hearts and lives of His children who infiltrate the masses and run His errands and fulfill His purposes in the course of their daily lives.

I cannot outrun or evade my God. He goes before me and follows closely behind me. He will keep me and sustain me wherever I am.

And yet I rejoice as I enter His sanctuary and mingle with those who honour His name and seek His grace.

There, shielded from the screaming tensions and ear-splitting sounds of the city, in the company of those who love one another, I happily open my heart to the loving mercy of God. Amen.

2 Peter 3: 13 NLT

2 Peter 3: 13 NLT

The flood

It’s not really about the ark, It’s not really about Noah, It’s not really about the animals,

The main focus of this story is all about God Himself!

I am sorry I ever made them. Genesis 6:7

2 Peter 2:9 New Living Translation (NLT)

So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final judgment.

2 Peter 3:9 New Living Translation (NLT)

The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.

2 Peter 3:13 New Living Translation (NLT)

But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness.

2 Peter 3:11 New Living Translation (NLT)

Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live…

aaaaaaaa

“I began to view (being in Government) as a holy crusade. The future of the country depended upon the Presidents continuation in office. But equally important was the fact that my own power depended on President Nixon staying in power”

God = Justice + Mercy

I Am Carried

Day by day and hour by hour Your love for me from heaven flows Like streams of water in the desert, Living waters flow

/3

You walk beside me, gently guiding, Leading me through every storm. Everlasting, never changing grace and love divine.

Mercy's healing, grace revealing Every spot and every stain. Forgiven freely, no more guilty Love has conquered shame.

/4

The broken mended, night has ended, The lost and lonely, lost no more For I am carried in the arms of grace and love divine.

I am carried in the arms of grace and love divine. I am held by hands of healing, washed by waters pure. Lifting up my heavy heart, held in grace scarred hands. I am carried in the arms of grace and love divine. /5

Never worthy, never earning All my works now left behind. Ever onwards, ever upwards You've called me on to rise Above my darkness, all my failure, Every fear and every pain. Always carried, always covered by grace and love divine. /6

I am carried in the arms of grace and love divine. I am held by hands of healing, washed by waters pure. Lifting up my heavy heart, held in grace scarred hands. I am carried in the arms of grace and love divine.

For your goodness and generosity in giving us all we need

In every circumstance of life, in good times and bad,

In love and faithfulness, with all that we have and all that we are,

As we speak or write or listen to those nearby or far away,

In our plans and work for ourselves and for others,

In every thought and word and deed, by the power of your Holy Spirit,

2 Peter 3: 13 NLT
