Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 2:16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.
Genesis 3:12-13 Then the man said, “the woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
Oh how we love to blame someone else for all our woes and wrongs.
Deuteronomy 28:15 But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and over take you.
1 John 2:6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
Matthew 7:3-5 And why do you look at the speck in your brothers eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, let me remove the speck from your eye; and look a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brothers eye.
We all need to look to our own behavior and bring our life before our God and say “fix me Lord.” Clean up my beams and specks not to be able to blame and correct but to walk humbly with You. To walk in Your ways not looking to the right or the left but at Your word.
We will put our trust in the Lord not in man or princes.
Psalm 50:10-12 For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains, and the wild beasts of the field are Mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world is Mine and all its fulness.
Psalm 103:1-2 Bless the Lord O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord O my soul and forget not all His benefits.
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.
Thank You Lord our God for Your mercy in sending us Your Son Jesus Christ that we might be saved. Amen
