Journey to Wholeness
“Let not your hearts be troubled;
John 14:1
believe in God, believe also in me.”
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for you are with me.
… Read the restOne of the scribes, when he came forward and heard them disputing and saw how well he had answered them, asked him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?”
… Read the restNow if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, was so glorious that the Israelites could not look intently at the face of Moses because of its glory that was going to fade, how much more will the ministry of the Spirit be glorious?
“Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mountain,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
That he may instruct us in his ways,
and we may walk in his paths.”
He found him in a desert land,
and in the howling waste of the wilderness;
he encircled him, he cared for him,
he kept him as the apple of his eye.
After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I thirst.”
John 19:28
Athirst is my soul for the living God.
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.
Genesis 1:31 (RSV)
How good is the Lord to all,
compassionate to all his creatures.
Lamentations 3:24 (RSV)
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”
My soul waits for the Lord
more than sentinels wait for the dawn.
Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mountain,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
That he may instruct us in his ways,
and we may walk in his paths.”
In prayer, we have a direct beeline to God. May we abide in his love, bearing fruit.
“I am the vine, you are the branches.
