GRACE UPON GRACE

ZEPHANIAH 3:17-20 THE LORD THY  GOD  IN  THE MIDST OF THEE  IS MIGHTY;   HE WILL SAVE,  HE WILL REJOICE  OVER THEE  WITH JOY;   HE WILL REST IN HIS LOVE,  HE WILL JOY OVER THEE  WITH SINGING.   I WILL GATHER THEM THAT ARE SORROWFUL FOR THE SOLEMN ASSEMBLY, WHO ARE OF THEE, TO WHOM THE REPROACH OF IT WAS A BURDEN .  BEHOLD,  AT THAT TIME  I WILL UNDO ALL  THAT AFFLICT THEE:  AND  I WILL SAVE HER THAT HALTETH, AND GATHER HER THAT WAS DRIVEN OUT ;   AND I WILL GET THEM PRAISE AND FAME  IN EVERY LAND WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN PUT TO SHAME .   AT THAT TIME WILL I BRING YOU AGAIN,   EVEN IN THE TIME THAT I GATHER YOU: FOR I WILL MAKE YOU A NAME AND A PRAISE AMOUNG ALL PEOPLE OF THE EARTH, WHEN I TURN BACK YOUR CAPTIVITY BEFORE YOUR EYES, SAITH THE LORD .    LOVE

ECCLESIASTES 7:17-19 BE NOT OVER  MUCH WICKED, NEITHER BE THOU FOOLISH: WHY SHOULDEST THOU DIE BEFORE THY TIME? IT IS GOOD THAT THOU SHOULDEST TAKE HOLD OF THIS: YEA, ALSO FROM THIS WITHDRAW  NOT THINE HAND: FOR HE THAT FEARETH GOD SHALL COME FORTH OF  THEM ALL. WISDOM  STRENGTHENETH THE WISE MORE THAN TEN MIGHTY MEN WHICH ARE IN THE CITY. LOVE

MALACHI 4:1-3 FOR, BEHOLD,  THE DAY COMETH,  THAT SHALL  BURN AS AN OVEN;  AND  ALL THE PROUD,  YEA, AND ALL  THAT DO WICKEDLY,  SHALL BE STUBBLE:   AND  THE DAY THAT COMETH  SHALL BURN THEM UP,  SAITH THE LORD OF HOST,  THAT  IT SHALL LEAVE THEM NEITHER ROOT NOR BRANCH. BUT UNTO YOU THAT FEAR MY NAME SHALL THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS ARISE WITH HEALING IN HIS WINGS; AND YE SHALL GO FORTH,   AND  GROW AS CALVES OF THE STALL.   AND  YE SHALL  TREAD DOWN THE WICKED;  FOR  THEY SHALL BE ASHES  UNDER  THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET  IN THE DAY THAT   I SHALL DO THIS,  SAITH  THE LORD OF HOSTS. LOVE

ISAIAH 54:5-8 FOR  THY MAKER IS  THINE HUSBAND; THE LORD OF HOSTS IS HIS NAME: AND THY REDEEMER THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL; THE GOD OF THE WHOLE EARTH SHALL  HE BE CALLED. FOR THE LORD HATH CALLED THEE AS A WOMEN FORSAKEN AND GRIEVED IN SPIRIT, AND A WIFE OF YOUTH, WHEN THOU WAST REFUSED, SAITH THY GOD. FOR A SMALL MOMENT I HAVE FORSAKEN THEE; BUT WITH GREAT MERCIES WILL  I  GATHER THEE. IN A LITTLE WRATH I HID MY FACE FROM THEE FOR A MOMENT; BUT WITH EVERLASTING KINDNESS WILL  I  HAVE  MERCY ON THEE, SAITH THE LORD THY REDEEMER. LOVE

PSALM 16:7-11 I WILL BLESS THE LORD, WHO HATH GIVEN  ME  COUNSEL:   MY REINS ALSO INSTRUCT ME IN THE NIGHT SEASONS .  I HAVE SET THE LORD  ALWAYS BEFORE ME:  BECAUSE  HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND,  I SHALL NOT BE MOVED.   THEREFORE MY HEART IS GLAD,  AND  MY GLORY REJOICETH:  MY FLESH  ALSO SHALL REST IN HOPE.  FOR THOU WILT NOT LEAVE  MY SOUL IN HELL;  NEITHER WILT THOU SUFFER  THINE HOLY ONE  TO SEE CORRUPTION.   THOU WILT SHEW ME THE PATH OF LIFE: IN THY PRESENCE IS FULNESS OF JOY;   AT THY RIGHT HAND  THERE ARE  PLEASURE EVERMORE. LOVE 

PSALM 108:3-6 I WILL PRAISE THEE,  O LORD,  AMONG THE PEOPLE:  I WILL SING PRAISES  UNTO THEE  AMONG NATIONS.   FOR THY MERCY  IS GREAT  ABOVE THE HEAVENS:  AND  THY TRUTH REACHETH UNTO THE CLOUDS .  BE THOU EXALTED,  O GOD,  ABOVE THE HEAVENS:  AND  THY GLORY ABOVE  ALL THE EARTH;   THAT THY BELOVED MAY BE DELIVERED:  SAVE  WITH THY RIGHT HAND, AND ANSWER ME .  LOVE

1 TIMOTHY 6:7-13 FOR WE BROUGHT NOTHING INTO THIS WORLD, AND IT IS CERTAIN  WE CAN CARRY NOTHING OUT.   AND  HAVING  FOOD AND RAIMENT  LET US BE  THEREWITH CONTENT.   BUT THEY  THAT WILL  BE RICH  FALL INTO  TEMPTATION AND A SNARE, AND  INTO MANY  FOOLISH AND HURTFUL  LUSTS,  WHICH DROWN MEN  IN  DESTRUCTION AND PERDITION.  FOR  THE LOVE OF MONEY  IS  THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL:   WHICH WHILE  SOME COVETED AFTER,  THEY HAVE ERRED FROM THE FAITH,  AND  PIERCED THEMSELVES  THROUGH WITH MANY SORROWS.  BUT THOU,  O MAN OF GOD,  FLEE THESE THINGS;  AND  FOLLOW AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS,  GODLINESS, FAITH, LOVE, PATIENCE,  MEEKNESS.  FIGHT  THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH,   LAY HOLD ON ETERNAL LIFE,  WHEREUNTO THOU ART ALSO CALLED,  A...

LUKE 12:54-59 AND HE SAID  ALSO TO THE PEOPLE, WHEN YE SEE A CLOUD  RISE OUT OF THE WEST,  STRAIGHTWAY YE SAY,  THERE COMETH A SHOWER;  AND  SO IT IS.  AND  WHEN YE SEE THE SOUTH WIND BLOW,  YE SAY,  THERE WILL BE HEAT;  AND  IT COMETH TO PASS.  YE HYPOCRITES,   YE CAN DISCERN  THE FACE OF THE SKY  AND  OF THE EARTH;  BUT  HOW IS IT  THAT  YE DO NOT  DISCERN THIS TIME?   YEA,  AND  WHY EVEN OF YOURSELVES  JUDGE YE NOT WHAT IS RIGHT?   WHEN THOU GOEST  WITH  THINE ADVERSARY  TO THE MAGISTRATE,   AS  THOU ART IN THE WAY,  GIVE DILIGENCE  THAT THOU  MAYEST BE DELIVERED  FROM HIM;   LEAST HE  HALE THEE  TO THE JUDGE,  AND  THE JUDGE  DELIVER THEE TO THE OFFICER,  AND  THE OFFICER CAST...

ECCLESIASTES 4:13-16 BETTER IS A POOR AND WISE CHILD THAN AN OLD AND FOOLISH KING, WHO WILL NO MORE BE ADMONISHED. FOR  OUT OF PRISON HE COMETH TO REIGN WHEREAS ALSO HE THAT IS BORN IN HIS KINGDOM BECOMETH POOR. I CONSIDERED ALL THE LIVING WHICH WALK UNDER THE SUN, WITH THE SECOND CHILD THAT SHALL STAND UP IN HIS STEAD. THERE  IS NO END OF ALL THE PEOPLE, EVEN OF ALL THAT HAVE BEEN BEFORE THEM: THEY ALSO THAT COME AFTER SHALL NOT REJOICE IN HIM. SURELY THIS ALSO IS VANITY AND VEXATION OF THE SPIRIT. LOVE

GALATIANS 6:13-18 FOR NEITHER  THEY  THEMSELVES  WHO ARE CIRCUMCISED  KEEP THE LAW;   BUT DESIRE TO HAVE YOU CIRCUMCISED, THAT THEY MAY GLORY IN YOUR FLESH.  BUT GOD FORBID  THAT I SHOULD GLORY,  SAVE  IN THE CROSS OF OUR LORD  JESUS CHRIST,  BY WHOM  THE WORLD IS CRUCIFIED UNTO ME, AND I UNTO THE WORLD.  FOR IN CHRIST JESUS  NEITHER CIRCUMCISION  AVAILETH ANY THING,  NOR UNCIRCUMCISION,  BUT  A NEW CREATURE.  AS MANY AS WALK  ACCORDING TO THIS RULE,  PEACE BE ON THEM,  AND  MERCY,  AND  UPON  THE ISRAEL OF GOD.   FROM HENCEFORTH LET NO MAN TROUBLE ME: FOR I BEAR IN MY BODY THE MARKS OF THE LORD JESUS.  BRETHREN,  THE GRACE  OF  OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST  BE WITH YOUR SPIRIT .  AMEN.
