GRACE UPON GRACE

 PSALM 52:1-7 WHY BOASTEST THOU  THYSELF IN MISCHIEF,  O MIGHTY MAN?  THE GOODNESS OF GOD  ENDURETH CONTINUALLY. THE TONGUE DEVISETH MISCHIEFS;  LIKE A SHARP RAZOR,  WORKING DECEITFULLY. THOU LOVEST EVIL MORE  THAN GOOD;  AND LYING RATHER  THAN TO SPEAK RIGHTEOUSNESS.  SELAH. THOU LOVEST ALL  DEVOURING WORDS,  O THOU DECEITFUL TONGUE. GOD SHALL LIKEWISE DESTROY  THEE FOR EVER,  HE SHALL TAKE THEE AWAY,  AND  PLUCK THEE OUT OF THY  DWELLING PLACE,  AND  ROOT THEE OUT OF  THE LAND OF THE LIVING.   SELAH. THE RIGHTEOUS ALSO SHALL SEE,  AND FEAR,  AND SHALL LAUGH AT HIM: LO, THIS IS THE MAN THAT MADE  NOT GOD HIS STRENGTH;  BUT TRUSTED  IN THE ABUNDANCE OF HIS RICHES,  AND STRENGTHENED  HIMSELF IN HIS WICKEDNESS.    LOVE

 JEREMIAH 18:19-23 GIVE HEED TO ME, O LORD,  AND  HEARKEN TO THE VOICE OF  THEM THAT CONTEND WITH ME.  SHALL EVIL  BE RECOMPENSED FOR GOOD?  FOR THEY HAVE  DIGGED A PIT FOR MY SOUL.  REMEMBER THAT I STOOD  BEFORE THEE TO SPEAK  GOOD FOR THEM,  AND TO TURN AWAY  THY WRATH FROM THEM.  THEREFORE DELIVER UP THEIR  CHILDREN TO THE FAMINE,  AND POUR OUT THEIR  BLOOD BY THE FORCE  OF THE SWORD;  AND LET THEIR WIVES  BE BEREAVED OF THEIR  CHILDREN, AND BE WIDOWS;  AND  LET THEIR MEN BE PUT TO DEATH;  LET THEIR YOUNG MEN  BE SLAIN BY THE SWORD IN BATTLE.  LET A CRY BE HEARD FROM  THEIR HOUSES,  WHEN THOU SHALT BRING  A TROOP SUDDENLY UPON THEM:  FOR THEY HAVE DIGGED  A PIT TO TAKE ME,  AND  HID SNARES FOR MY FEET.  YET, LORD, THOU KNOWEST ALL  THEIR COUNSEL AGAINST ME  TO SLAY ME:  FORGIVE NOT THEIR INIQUITY,...

EPHESIANS 2:15-22 HAVING ABOLISHED  IN HIS FLESH THE ENMITY,  EVEN  THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS  CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES;  FOR TO MAKE IN  HIMSELF OF TWAIN ONE NEW MAN,  SO MAKING PEACE; AND  THAT HE MIGHT  RECONCILE BOTH UNTO  GOD IN ONE BODY BY THE CROSS,  HAVING SLAIN THE ENMITY THEREBY: AND  CAME AND PREACHED  PEACE TO YOU WHICH WERE  AFAR OFF, AND TO THEM  THAT WERE NIGH. FOR THROUGH HIM  WE BOTH HAVE ACCESS BY ONE SPIRIT UNTO THE FATHER. NOW THEREFORE YE ARE NO MORE STRANGERS  AND FOREIGNERS, BUT FELLOW CITIZENS WITH THE SAINTS, AND OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD; AND ARE BUILT UPON  THE FOUNDATION OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS, JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF  BEING THE CHIEF CORNER STONE; IN WHOM ALL THE BUILDING  FITLY FRAMED TOGETHER  GROWETH UNTO  AN HOLY TEMPLE IN THE LORD:  IN WHOM YE ALSO ARE BUILDED TOGETHER  FOR AN HABITATION OF  GOD THROUGH THE SPIRIT.    LOVE...

DANIEL 9:19-23 O LORD, HEAR; O LORD, FORGIVE; O LORD,  HEARKEN AND DO;  DEFER NOT,  FOR THINE OWN SAKE,  O MY GOD:  FOR THY  CITY AND THY PEOPLE  ARE CALLED BY THY NAME.  AND WHILES I WAS SPEAKING,  AND PRAYING,  AND CONFESSING MY SIN  AND  THE SIN OF MY PEOPLE ISRAEL,  AND  PRESENTING MY SUPPLICATION  BEFORE THE LORD MY GOD  FOR THE HOLY MOUNTAIN  OF MY GOD; YEA,  WHILES I WAS SPEAKING IN PRAYER,   EVEN  THE MAN GABRIEL,  WHOM I HAD SEEN  IN THE VISION AT THE BEGINNING,  BEING CAUSED  TO FLY SWIFTLY,  TOUCHED ME ABOUT  THE TIME OF THE EVENING OBLATION.  AND HE INFORMED ME,  AND TALKED WITH ME,  AND SAID, O DANIEL,   I AM NOW COME FORTH  TO GIVE THEE  SKILL AND UNDERSTANDING.  AT  THE BEGINNING OF THY SUPPLICATIONS  THE COMMANDMENT CAME FORTH,  AND   I AM COME TO SHEW THEE;  FOR  THOU ART GREATL...
