TO THE MAN WHO PLEASES GOD; WE FIND FAVOR WITH GOD!
FOR WHOEVER FINDS ME FINDS LIFE AND RECEIVES FAVOR FROM THE LORD.
PROVERBS 8:35
HIS SOUL DRAWS NEAR TO THE PIT, AND HIS LIFE TO THE MESSENGERS OF DEATH. ‘’YET IF THERE IS AN ANGEL ON HIS SIDE AS A MEDIATOR, ONE OUT OF A THOUSAND, TO TELL A MAN WHAT IS RIGHT FOR HIM, TO BE GRACIOUS TO HIM AND SAY, ‘SPARE HIM FROM GOING DOWN TO THE PIT, I HAVE FOUND A RANSOM FOR HIM---THEN HIS FLESH IS RENEWED LIKE A CHILD’S; IT IS RESTORED AS IN THE DAYS OF HIS YOUTH. HE PRAYS TO GOD AND FINDS FAVOR WITH HIM, HE SEES GOD’S FACE AND SHOUTS FOR JOY; HE IS RESTORED BY GOD TO HIS RIGHTEOUS STATE.
JOB 33:22-26
TO THE MAN WHO PLEASES GOD: HIS EYES ARE UPON THE RIGHTEOUS
MY EYES WILL WATCH OVER THEM FOR THEIR GOOD, AND I WILL BRING THEM BACK TO THIS LAND. I WILL BUILD THEM UP AND NOT TEAR THEM DOWN; I WILL PLANT THEM AND NOT UPROOT THEM. I WILL GIVE THEM A HEART TO KNOW ME, THAT I AM THE LORD. THEY WILL BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, FOR THEY WILL RETURN TO ME WITH ALL THEIR HEART.
JEREMIAH 24:6-7
TO THE MAN WHO PLEASES GOD: HE BLESSES THE RIGHTEOUS!
THE LORD’S CURSE IS ON THE HOUSE OF THE WICKED, BUT HE BLESSES THE HOME OF THE RIGHTEOUS.
PROVERBS 3:33
THOSE THE LORD BLESSES WILL INHERIT THE LAND, BUT THOSE HE CURSES WILL BE CUT OFF.
PROVERBS 37:22
TO THE MAN WHO PLEASES HIM, GOD GIVES WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND HAPPINESS, BUT TO THE SINNER HE GIVES THE TASK OF GATHERING AND STORING UP WEALTH TO HAND IT OVER TO THE ONE WHO PLEASES GOD.
ECCLESIASTES 2:26
TO THE MAN WHO PLEASES GOD: HE PROMISES WEALTH AND RICHES!
WEALTH AND RICHES ARE IN HIS HOUSE, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ENDURES FOREVER. EVEN IN DARKNESS LIGHT DAWNS FOR THE UPRIGHT, FOR THE GRACIOUS AND COMPASSIONATE AND RIGHTEOUS MAN. GOOD WILL COME TO HIM WHO IS GENEROUS AND LENDS FREELY, WHO CONDUCTS HIS AFFAIRS WITH JUSTICE. SURELY HE WILL NEVER BE SHAKEN;
PSALM 112:3-5
TO THE MAN WHO PLEASES GOD: HE WILL COME TO YOU!
SAY TO THOSE WITH FEARFUL HEARTS, ‘’BE STRONG, DO NOT FEAR; YOUR GOD WILL COME, HE WILL COME WITH VENGEANCE; WITH DIVINE RETRIBUTION HE WILL COME TO SAVE YOU.’’
ISAIAH 35:4
HERE I AM! I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK. IF ANYONE HEARS MY VOICE AND OPENS THE DOOR, I WILL COME IN AND EAT WITH HIM, AND HE WITH ME.
REVELATION 3:20
I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU AS ORPHANS; I WILL COME TO YOU!
JOHN 14:18
JESUS REPLIED, ‘’IF ANYONE LOVES ME, HE WILL OBEY MY TEACHING. MY FATHER WILL LOVE HIM, AND WE WILL COME TO HIM AND MAKE OUR HOME WITH HIM.
JOHN 14:23
‘’AGAIN, I TELL YOU THAT IF TWO OF YOU ON EARTH AGREE ABOUT ANYTHING YOU ASK FOR, IT WILL BE DONE FOR YOU BY MY FATHER IN HEAVEN. FOR WHERE TWO OR THREE COME TOGETHER IN MY NAME, THERE AM I WITH THEM.’’
MATTHEW 18:19
TO THE MAN WHO PLEASES GOD: HE OPEN DOORS!
‘’ASK AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU; SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND; KNOCK AND THE DOOR WILL BE OPENED TO YOU. FOR EVERYONE WHO ASKS RECEIVES; HE WHO SEEKS FINDS; AND TO HIM WHO KNOCKS, THE DOOR WILL BE OPENED.
MATTHEW 7:7
BE PATIENT, THEN, BROTHERS, UNTIL THE LORD’S COMING. SEE HOW THE FARMER WAITS FOR THE LAND TO YIELD ITS VALUABLE CROP AND HOW PATIENT HE IS FOR THE AUTUMN AND SPRING RAINS. YOU TOO BE PATIENT AND STAND FIRM, BECAUSE THE LORD’S COMING IS NEAR. DON’T GRUMBLE AGAINST EACH OTHER, BROTHERS, OR YOU WILL BE JUDGED. THE JUDGE IS STANDING AT THE DOOR!
JAMES 5:7-9
‘’MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ENTER THROUGH THE NARROW DOOR, BECAUSE MANY, I TELL YOU, WILL TRY TO ENTER AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO. ONCE THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE GETS UP AND CLOSES THE DOOR, YOU WILL STAND OUTSIDE KNOCKING AND PLEADING, SIR, OPEN THE DOOR FOR US.’ ‘’BUT HE WILL ANSWER, ‘I DON’T KNOW YOU OR WHERE YOU COME FROM.’’ ‘’THEN YOU WILL SAY, ‘WE ATE AND DRANK WITH YOU, AND YOU TAUGHT IN OUR STREETS.’’ BUT HE WILL REPLY, ‘I DON’T KNOW YOU OR WHERE YOU COME FROM. AWAY FROM ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS!’’ ‘’THERE WILL BE WEEPING THERE, AND GNASHING OF TEETH, WHEN YOU SEE ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB AND ALL THE PROPHETS IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, BUT YOU YOURSELVES THROWN OUT. PEOPLE WILL COME FROM EAST AND WEST AND NORTH AND SOUTH, AND WILL TAKE THEIR PLACES AT THE FEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. INDEED THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE LAST WHO WILL BE FIRST, AND FIRST WHO WILL BE LAST.’’
LUKE 13:24-30
SOME SAT IN DARKNESS AND THE DEEPEST GLOOM, PRISONERS SUFFERING IN IRON CHAINS, FOR THEY HAD REBELLED AGAINST THE WORDS OF GOD AND DESPISED THE COUNSEL OF THE MOST HIGH. SO HE SUBJECTED THEM TO BITTER LABOR; THEY STUMBLED, AND THERE WAS NO ONE TO HELP. THEN THEY CRIED TO THE LORD IN THEIR TROUBLE, AND HE SAVED THEM FROM THEIR DISTRESS. HE BROUGHT THEM OUT OF DARKNESS AND THE DEEPEST GLOOM AND BROKE AWAY THEIR CHAINS.
PSALM 107:10-14
SOME BECAME FOOLS THROUGH THEIR REBELLIOUS WAYS AND SUFFERED AFFLICTION BECAUSE OF THEIR INIQUITIES, THEY LOATHED ALL FOOD AND DREW NEAR THE GATES OF DEATH. THEN THEY CRIED TO THE LORD IN THEIR TROUBLE, AND HE SAVED THEM FROM THEIR DISTRESS, HE SENT FORTH HIS WORD AND HEALED THEM; HE RESCUED THEM FROM THE GRAVE.
PSALM 107:17-20
TONIGHT LET US GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HIS UNFAILING LOVE AND HIS WONDERFUL DEEDS FOR MEN!
HE HAS DONE WONDERFUL THINGS FOR S.O.T.M.
AMEN
