Isaiah 61 (New International Version)

Isaiah 61

The Year of the LORD's Favor

1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, [a]
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,

3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.

4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.

5 Aliens will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.

6 And you will be called priests of the LORD, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast.

7 Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.

8 "For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity. In my faithfulness I will reward them and make an everlasting covenant with them.

9 Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed."

10 I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.

    Proverbs 17

    1 Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, [a] with strife.

    2 A wise servant will rule over a disgraceful son, and will share the inheritance as one of the brothers.

    3 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart.

    4 A wicked man listens to evil lips; a liar pays attention to a malicious tongue.

    5 He who mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.

    6 Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.

    7 Arrogant [b] lips are unsuited to a fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler!

    8 A bribe is a charm to the one who gives it; wherever he turns, he succeeds.

    9 He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.

    10 A rebuke impresses a man of discernment more than a hundred lashes a fool.

    11 An evil man is bent only on rebellion; a merciless official will be sent against him.

    12 Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his folly.

    13 If a man pays back evil for good, evil will never leave his house.

    14 Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.

    15 Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent— the LORD detests them both.

    16 Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no desire to get wisdom?

    17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

    18 A man lacking in judgment strikes hands in pledge and puts up security for his neighbor.

    19 He who loves a quarrel loves sin; he who builds a high gate invites destruction.

    20 A man of perverse heart does not prosper; he whose tongue is deceitful falls into trouble.

    21 To have a fool for a son brings grief; there is no joy for the father of a fool.

    22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

    23 A wicked man accepts a bribe in secret to pervert the course of justice.

    24 A discerning man keeps wisdom in view, but a fool's eyes wander to the ends of the earth.

    25 A foolish son brings grief to his father and bitterness to the one who bore him.

    26 It is not good to punish an innocent man, or to flog officials for their integrity.

    27 A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered.

    28 Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.

    Romans 11 (New International Version, ©2010)

    Romans 11

    The Remnant of Israel

    1 I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don't you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: 3 "Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me"[a]? 4 And what was God's answer to him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal."[b] 5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. 6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
    7 What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened, 8 as it is written: "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear,
    to this very day."[c]

    9 And David says: "May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
    10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever."[d]

    Ingrafted Branches

    11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. 12 But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!
    13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry 14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. 15 For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.

    17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in." 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

    22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

    All Israel Will Be Saved

    25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, 26 and in this way[e] all Israel will be saved. As it is written:
    "The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
    27 And this is[f] my covenant with them when I take away their sins."[g]

    28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, 29 for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable. 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now[h] receive mercy as a result of God's mercy to you. 32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.

    Doxology

    33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and[i] knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!
    34 "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?"[j]
    35 "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?"[k]
    36 For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

    Proverbs 16 (New International Version)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHePIA5u7gA&feature=share&list=PL50CF0F4DEEBE0755



    Proverbs 16

    1 To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the LORD comes the reply of the tongue.

    2 All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD.

    3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.

    4 The LORD works out everything for his own ends— even the wicked for a day of disaster.

    5 The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.

    6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the LORD a man avoids evil.

    7 When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.

    8 Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.

    9 In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

    10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle, and his mouth should not betray justice.

    11 Honest scales and balances are from the LORD; all the weights in the bag are of his making.

    12 Kings detest wrongdoing, for a throne is established through righteousness.

    13 Kings take pleasure in honest lips; they value a man who speaks the truth.

    14 A king's wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will appease it.

    15 When a king's face brightens, it means life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.

    16 How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!

    17 The highway of the upright avoids evil; he who guards his way guards his life.

    18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.

    19 Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.

    20 Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.

    21 The wise in heart are called discerning, and pleasant words promote instruction. [a]

    22 Understanding is a fountain of life to those who have it, but folly brings punishment to fools.

    23 A wise man's heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction. [b]

    24 Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

    25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

    26 The laborer's appetite works for him; his hunger drives him on.

    27 A scoundrel plots evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire.

    28 A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends.

    29 A violent man entices his neighbor and leads him down a path that is not good.

    30 He who winks with his eye is plotting perversity; he who purses his lips is bent on evil.

    31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained by a righteous life.

    32 Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city.

    33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.

    Isaiah 60 (New International Version)

    Isaiah 60

    The Glory of Zion

    1 "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.
    2 See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you.

    3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

    4 "Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the arm.

    5 Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come.

    6 Herds of camels will cover your land, young camels of Midian and Ephah. And all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and incense and proclaiming the praise of the LORD.

    7 All Kedar's flocks will be gathered to you, the rams of Nebaioth will serve you; they will be accepted as offerings on my altar, and I will adorn my glorious temple.

    8 "Who are these that fly along like clouds, like doves to their nests?

    9 Surely the islands look to me; in the lead are the ships of Tarshish, [a] bringing your sons from afar, with their silver and gold, to the honor of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor.

    10 "Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you. Though in anger I struck you, in favor I will show you compassion.

    11 Your gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night, so that men may bring you the wealth of the nations— their kings led in triumphal procession.

    12 For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly ruined.

    13 "The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the pine, the fir and the cypress together, to adorn the place of my sanctuary; and I will glorify the place of my feet.

    14 The sons of your oppressors will come bowing before you; all who despise you will bow down at your feet and will call you the City of the LORD, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

    15 "Although you have been forsaken and hated, with no one traveling through, I will make you the everlasting pride and the joy of all generations.

    16 You will drink the milk of nations and be nursed at royal breasts. Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

    17 Instead of bronze I will bring you gold, and silver in place of iron. Instead of wood I will bring you bronze, and iron in place of stones. I will make peace your governor and righteousness your ruler.

    18 No longer will violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders, but you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise.

    19 The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.

    20 Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end.

    21 Then will all your people be righteous and they will possess the land forever. They are the shoot I have planted, the work of my hands, for the display of my splendor.

    22 The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the LORD; in its time I will do this swiftly."

    Romans 10 (New International Version, ©2010)

    Romans 10

    1 Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

    5 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: "The person who does these things will live by them."[a] 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'"[b] (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'"[c] (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,"[d] that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, "Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame."[e] 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."[f]

    14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"[g]

    16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our message?"[h] 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. 18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: "Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."[i]

    19 Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says, "I will make you envious by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding."[j]

    20 And Isaiah boldly says, "I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me."[k]

    21 But concerning Israel he says, "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."

    A Daily Pray Conversation with God

    Good Morning Papa God,

     

    I thank you for this day, for my being able to be here with you this morning, I'm blessed because you are a forgiving and an understanding God.


    Thank you for everything you have done for me, and you keep on blessing me, even when I have forgotten you - you do not forget me.
     
    Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for your forgiveness.
     
    Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from you.
     
    Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. Let me continue to see myself through your eyes and acknowledge everything I see, and when I sin, let me repent, and confess with my mouth of my wrongdoing, and receive forgiveness.  Also, let me see how much you love me.

    When this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus' example -- to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, Papa you listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do your will.
    Jesus, I now lay all my Stress and Burdens on you, because you already paid the Price for them on the Cross. Thank You does not seem to be enough to say but it’s the only words I have. So, Thank You Jesus.
     
    I am going to try to show you in my actions how much I Love You.

    I Thank you Lord that you are handling all my problems today, and that I don’t have to do anything about them till I hear from You, Then I will only do what I hear you tell me to do,

    Praise you Lord!

    ·        Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.
    ·        Keep me strong that I may help the weak.

    ·        I pray for those who are lost and can't find their way.
    ·        I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood.
    ·        I pray for those who don't know you intimately.

    Ps 143:8-12
    8 Cause me to hear your loving-kindness in the morning, for on you do I lean and in You do I trust. Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my inner self to you.
    9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies; I flee to you to hide me.
    10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; let your good Spirit lead me into a level country and into the land of uprightness.
    11 Save my life, O Lord, for your name's sake; in your righteousness, bring my life out of trouble and free me from distress.
    12 And in your mercy and loving-kindness, cut off my enemies and destroy all those who afflict my inner self, for I am your servant.

    Ps 139:13-18 NIV
    13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
    14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
    15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
    16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
     
    Matt 7:7-8
    7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
    8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

    I want to walk so close to you that I can hear your heart beat and know the works of your Hands. Help me to break down internal walls so I can accept and learn who I am in you and accept what I see and change what needs to be changed. As I becoming aware of myself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, I become aware that I need healing in my soul as well as my spirit. This will give me a heart to decrease so you will increase in me, Praise God!

    Now I will have a desire to walk closer with you Lord, and we can build our relationship that we both need - to be fulfilled and live the abundant live you have stored up for me and absorb the abundant love you have for me and the others you have placed in my life, so I will be so full of You that your love will just pour out of me. Please clean me up and show me how to access and walk in the Glorious abundance.
     
    Matthew 6:31-34 Amplified Bible
    31Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear?
    32For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all.
    33But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.
    34So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.

    You said I would be blessed to abundance, So, I will seek You and do your will and
    According to your Word: I will have everything added to me more than I could think or imagine.
    I Thank You for it.
    In Jesus Name.

    Papa show me if something is blocking my supply line.
     
    Ps 28:1-3
    UNTO YOU do I cry, O Lord my Rock, be not deaf and silent to me, lest, if You be silent to me, I become like those going down to the pit [the grave].
    2 Hear the voice of my supplication as I cry to You for help, as I lift up my hands toward Your innermost sanctuary (the Holy of Holies).
    3 Drag me not away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but malice and mischief are in their hearts.

    Psalm 139 17-18
    17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
    18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
     
    Papa Thank you for forgiveness for all sins. Thank you For Jesus  I want nothing between you and I. so we can speak clearly to each other, I want to be able to hear your heart beat and know your secret things and what you want to be able to hear you speak to me to know what to share and not share.

    In Jesus name, Amen
     
    Eph 3:14-21
    14 For this reason I kneel before the Father,
    15 from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
    16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
    17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
    18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
    19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge — that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
    20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
    21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
     
    Ephesians 6:10-20
    10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
    11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
    12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
    13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
    14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
    15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
    16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
    17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
    18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
    19 Pray also for me, That whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

    Papa, you said in:
    Psalm 20:4 NIV
    4 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
     
    My heart is to see souls saved Papa, so that no one will be lost.

    Thanks,
    In Jesus name. Amen (So-be-it).

    Challenges for Prayer

    Large numbers of migrants pass into Libya, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa, looking for economic opportunities. Some find work in Libya, most are trying to get into Europe. Migration drains Libya’s coffers and human resources and often ends in disillusionment or even tragedy for those braving the deserts and seas to find a new life. Pray that these tens or even hundreds of thousands would find salvation and not just earthly treasures. A significant portion are believers; pray that they might have a powerful spiritual impact on Libyans and fellow migrants.
    The Christian community is growing, but is mostly foreign. Catholic and Orthodox groups dominate numerically, but Protestants and Independent groups are more active in faith and practice. The need for pastoral care is felt across almost all denominations. Pray for renewal in the churches; the opportunity is great for nominals to meet Christ, and for believers to impact others with the gospel.
         For an additional 3 Challenges for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.

    The Operation World book, CD-ROM, and DVD-ROM provide far more information and fuel for prayer for the people of Libya.

    Isaiah 59

    Sin, Confession and Redemption

    1 Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.
    2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.

    3 For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt. Your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters wicked things.

    4 No one calls for justice; no one pleads his case with integrity. They rely on empty arguments and speak lies; they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.

    5 They hatch the eggs of vipers and spin a spider's web. Whoever eats their eggs will die, and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.

    6 Their cobwebs are useless for clothing; they cannot cover themselves with what they make. Their deeds are evil deeds, and acts of violence are in their hands.

    7 Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are evil thoughts; ruin and destruction mark their ways.

    8 The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. They have turned them into crooked roads; no one who walks in them will know peace.

    9 So justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.

    10 Like the blind we grope along the wall, feeling our way like men without eyes. At midday we stumble as if it were twilight; among the strong, we are like the dead.

    11 We all growl like bears; we moan mournfully like doves. We look for justice, but find none; for deliverance, but it is far away.

    12 For our offenses are many in your sight, and our sins testify against us. Our offenses are ever with us, and we acknowledge our iniquities:

    13 rebellion and treachery against the LORD, turning our backs on our God, fomenting oppression and revolt, uttering lies our hearts have conceived.

    14 So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter.

    15 Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice.

    16 He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene; so his own arm worked salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him.

    17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on his head; he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.

    18 According to what they have done, so will he repay wrath to his enemies and retribution to his foes; he will repay the islands their due.

    19 From the west, men will fear the name of the LORD, and from the rising of the sun, they will revere his glory. For he will come like a pent-up flood that the breath of the LORD drives along. [a]

    20 "The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins," declares the LORD.

    21 "As for me, this is my covenant with them," says the LORD. "My Spirit, who is on you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth, or from the mouths of your children, or from the mouths of their descendants from this time on and forever," says the LORD.

    Proverbs 15

    1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

    2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.

    3 The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.

    4 The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

    5 A fool spurns his father's discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.

    6 The house of the righteous contains great treasure, but the income of the wicked brings them trouble.

    7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so the hearts of fools.

    8 The LORD detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him.

    9 The LORD detests the way of the wicked but he loves those who pursue righteousness.

    10 Stern discipline awaits him who leaves the path; he who hates correction will die.

    11 Death and Destruction [a] lie open before the LORD— how much more the hearts of men!

    12 A mocker resents correction; he will not consult the wise.

    13 A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.

    14 The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.

    15 All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.

    16 Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great wealth with turmoil.

    17 Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred.

    18 A hot-tempered man stirs up dissension, but a patient man calms a quarrel.

    19 The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway.

    20 A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish man despises his mother.

    21 Folly delights a man who lacks judgment, but a man of understanding keeps a straight course.

    22 Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.

    23 A man finds joy in giving an apt reply— and how good is a timely word!

    24 The path of life leads upward for the wise to keep him from going down to the grave. [b]

    25 The LORD tears down the proud man's house but he keeps the widow's boundaries intact.

    26 The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, but those of the pure are pleasing to him.

    27 A greedy man brings trouble to his family, but he who hates bribes will live.

    28 The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil.

    29 The LORD is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

    30 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.

    31 He who listens to a life-giving rebuke will be at home among the wise.

    32 He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.

    33 The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, [c] and humility comes before honor.

    Romans 9 (New International Version, ©2010)

    Romans 9

    Paul's Anguish Over Israel

    1 I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit— 2 I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race, 4 the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption to sonship; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises. 5 Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised![a] Amen.
    God's Sovereign Choice

    6 It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. 7 Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham's children. On the contrary, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned."[b] 8 In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring. 9 For this was how the promise was stated: "At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son."[c]
    10 Not only that, but Rebekah's children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac. 11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God's purpose in election might stand: 12 not by works but by him who calls—she was told, "The older will serve the younger."[d] 13 Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."[e]

    14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15 For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."[f]

    16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God's mercy. 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."[g] 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

    19 One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?" 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?'"[h] 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?

    22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory— 24 even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles? 25 As he says in Hosea: "I will call them 'my people' who are not my people; and I will call her 'my loved one' who is not my loved one,"[i]

    26 and, "In the very place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they will be called 'children of the living God.'"[j]

    27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: "Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea, only the remnant will be saved.
    28 For the Lord will carry out his sentence on earth with speed and finality."[k]

    29 It is just as Isaiah said previously: "Unless the Lord Almighty had left us descendants,
    we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah."[l]

    Israel's Unbelief

    30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. 32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. 33 As it is written:
    "See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame."
