GRACE UPON GRACE

COLOSSIANS 3:23-25 AND WHATSOEVER YE DO,  DO IT HEARTILY, AS TO THE LORD,  AND NOT UNTO MEN ; KNOWING THAT OF THE LORD YE SHALL RECEIVE THE REWARD OF THE INHERITANCE: FOR YE SERVE THE LORD CHRIST. BUT HE THAT DOETH WRONG SHALL RECEIVE FOR THE WRONG WHICH HE HATH DONE: AND THERE IS NO RESPECT OF PERSONS.   LOVE

REVELATION 21:22-27 AND I SAW NO TEMPLE THEREIN: FOR THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY AND THE LAMB ARE THE TEMPLE OF IT .  AND THE CITY HAD NO NEED OF THE SUN, NEITHER OF THE MOON, TO SHINE IN IT: FOR THE GLORY OF GOD DID LIGHTEN IT, AND THE LAMB IS THE LIGHT THEREOF . AND THE NATIONS OF THEM WHICH ARE SAVED SHALL WALK IN THE LIGHT OF IT: AND THE KINGS OF THE EARTH DO BRING THEIR GLORY AND H ONOUR INTO IT. AND THE GATES OF IT SHALL NOT BE SHUT AT ALL BY DAY: FOR THERE SHALL BE NO NIGHT THERE. AND THEY SHALL BRING THE GLORY AND HONOUR OF THE NATIONS INTO IT. AND THERE SHALL IN NO WISE ENTER INTO IT ANY THING THAT DEFILETH, NEITHER WHATSOEVER WORKETH ABOMINATION, OR MAKETH A LIE : BUT THEY WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE.   LOVE

 JOB 20:20-28 WHENCE THEN COMETH WISDOM? AND WHERE IS THE PLACE OF UNDERSTANDING? SEEING IT IS HID FROM THE EYES OF ALL LIVING, AND KEPT CLOSE FROM THE FOWLS OF THE AIR. DESTRUCTION AND DEATH SAY, WE HAVE HEARD THE FAME THEREOF WITH OUR EARS. GOD UNDERSTANDETH THE WAY THEREOF, AND HE KNOWETH THE PLACE THEREOF. FOR HE LOOKETH TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, AND SEETH UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN; TO MAKE THE WEIGHT FOR THE WINDS; AND HE WEIGHETH THE WATERS BY MEASURE. WHEN HE MADE A DECREE FOR THE RAIN, AND A WAY FOR THE LIGHTNING OF THE THUNDER:  THEN DID HE SEE IT, AND DECLARE IT; HE PREPARED IT, YEA, AND SEARCHED IT OUT . AND UNTO MAN HE SAID, BEHOLD, THE FEAR OF THE LORD, THAT IS WISDOM; AND TO DEPART FROM EVIL IS UNDERSTANDING.    LOVE

ISAIAH 42:18-23  HEAR, YE DEAF; AND LOOK, YE BLIND, THAT YE MAY SEE. WHO IS BLIND, BUT MY SERVANT? OR DEAF, AS MY MESSENGER THAT I SENT? WHO IS BLIND AS HE THAT IS PERFECT, AND BLIND AS THE LORD'S SERVANT? SEEING MANY THINGS, BUT THOU OBSERVEST NOT; OPENING THE EARS, BUT HE HEARETH NOT. THE LORD IS WELL PLEASED FOR HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS' SAKE; HE WILL MAGNIFY THE LAW, AND MAKE IT HONOURABLE . BUT THIS IS A PEOPLE ROBBED AND SPOILED; THEY ARE ALL OF THEM SNARED IN HOLES, AND THEY ARE HID IN PRISON HOUSES: THEY ARE FOR A PREY, AND NONE DELIVERETH; FOR A SPOIL, AND NONE SAITH, RESTORE. WHO AMONG YOU WILL GIVE EAR TO THIS? WHO WILL HEARKEN AND HEAR FOR THE TIME TO COME?     love

PSALM 7:9-17 OH LET THE WICKEDNESS OF THE WICKED COME TO AN END; BUT ESTABLISH THE JUST: FOR THE RIGHTEOUS GOD TRIETH THE HEARTS AND REINS. MY DEFENCE IS OF GOD, WHICH SAVETH THE UPRIGHT IN HEART. GOD JUDGETH THE RIGHTEOUS, AND GOD IS ANGRY WITH THE WICKED EVERY DAY. IF HE TURN NOT, HE WILL WHET HIS SWORD; HE HATH BENT HIS BOW, AND MADE IT READY. HE HATH ALSO PREPARED FOR HIM THE INSTRUMENTS OF DEATH; HE ORDAINETH HIS ARROWS AGAINST THE PERSECUTORS. BEHOLD, HE TRAVAILETH WITH INIQUITY, AND HATH CONCEIVED MISCHIEF, AND BROUGHT FORTH FALSEHOOD.  HE MADE A PIT, AND DIGGED IT, AND IS FALLEN INTO THE DITCH WHICH HE MADE.  HIS MISCHIEF SHALL RETURN UPON HIS OWN HEAD, AND HIS VIOLENT DEALING SHALL COME DOWN UPON HIS OWN PATE.   I WILL PRAISE THE LORD ACCORDING TO HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS: AND WILL SING PRAISE TO THE NAME OF THE LORD MOST HIGH.   LOVE
