HE Knows My Heart

¹ My son, do not forget my law,   
But let your heart keep my commands;
       ² For length of days and long life
      And peace they will add to you.
       ³ Let not mercy and truth forsake you;
      Bind them around your neck,
      Write them on the tablet of your heart,
       ⁴ And so find favor and high esteem
      In the sight of God and man.
       ⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
      And lean not on your own understanding;
       ⁶ In all your ways acknowledge Him,
      And He shall direct your paths.
       ⁷ Do not be wise in your own eyes;
      Fear the LORD and depart from evil.
       ⁸ It will be health to your flesh,
      And strength to your bones.

Proverbs 3:1-8

⁵ Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. ⁶ Upon the wicked he will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup. ⁷ For Jehovah is righteous; he loveth righteousness: The upright shall behold his face. Psalm 11:5-7 ASV

Oh Lord!! Our Lord!  Our God!! whether we volunteer to acknowledge or have yet to surrender our will, You Oh Lord, are our God!!  Let us be covered in Your mercy, in the blood of the Lamb, Your Son Jesus, that we may be considered righteous, and upright; beholding Your face!  Look upon us through Your eyes of Our Mighty Father, slow to anger and quick in love!  OH! the patience You show in perfecting us into Your image.  Praise be to our God, who embodies love in our King Jesus!  Praise our Holy Spirit, God's Spirit given to show us how to love Him!  Yes Lord let us love You more!!!!

From Eternity

^{Acts 15:14} Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name. ¹⁵ And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:        ¹⁶ ‘ After this I will return
      And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down;
      I will rebuild its ruins,
      And I will set it up;
       ¹⁷ So that the rest of mankind may seek the LORD,
      Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name,
      Says the LORD who does all these things.’
¹⁸ “Known to God from eternity are all His works.

^{God has chosen us to be a people for His name!  He has snatched us out of the hands of death, hell, and judgment so that we would seek the Lord.  We are called by His name, Lord God Almighty.  He has all power and HE always has had all power, all authority, all dominion; fully satisfied within His own self;  yet He said it was good to create us and HE knew from eternity all the good works He would do, and prepare for us to do!  Oh wow! the weight of this pursuit by a Holy God, who stands Alone and Above all!  Thank You Jesus for tearing the veil that sin had formed to separate us from Our Father, who knew us since before the beginning of time!  Thank You Holy Spirit, His own Spirit, which has revealed the mysteries of God to us in these earthen vessels, and will continue to bring to remembrance and reveal even more about the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ! Thank You God!  We worship and adore You, our hope, our love!
  1} Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. ² For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them,^[a] not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. ³ For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: “ So I swore in My wrath,‘ They shall not enter My rest,’” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.  Hebrews 4:1-3
