Joshua 1:8
"...[B]ut you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." (Joshua 1:8).
"You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me." (John 5:39).
"And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13).
i found v 10 to jump out at mev godly grief verses worldly grief and how the former produces repentence rather than regret and pain.
ReplyDelete"Since we have these promises, Beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and of spirit, making holiness perfect in the fear of God" v. 1
ReplyDeleteI really like v.10 too, Mary. Repentence is how v.1 is made possible. And repentence is impossible without first experiencing grief. Would it be outragious to be thankful for the grief we experience(d)?
That is a great verse! Goes right along with Hebrews 12 vs. 4-12.
