“I will perpetuate your memory through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever.” – Psalm 45:17

SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS IN THE BIBLE

The New Bible Dictionary (Inter-Varsity Fellowship) tells me that the number “two can be a figure both of unity and of division.”

“‘NO ONE CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS.

EITHER HE WILL HATE THE ONE

THE NUMBER TWO IN THE BIBLE

AND LOVE THE OTHER,

OR HE WILL BE DEVOTED TO THE ONE

AND DESPISE THE OTHER.

YOU CANNOT SERVE BOTH GOD AND MONEY.'”

Matthew 6:24

The Cross

“The mouth

Psalm 37:30,31

Intr.:

of the righteous man

1.  utters wisdom, and

2.  his tongue speaks what is just.

3.  The law of the LORD is in his heart;

4.  his feet do not slip.”

End:

The Cross

“If the LORD

Psalm 37:23,24

Intr.:

delights in a man’s way,

1.  he makes his steps firm;

2.  though he stumble, he will not fall,

End:

for the LORD upholds him with his hand.”

In my reading of the Bible from cover to cover, from Genesis to Revelation, I read today about the FUTURE in one of the Psalms and I am glad that I did.

At the present time the word Future is in the news again.

Not long ago I picked up the guide to the 2014 General Election. The General Election is on September 20.

I remember reading about a “brighter Future” on a billboard. On a flyer I was given on the street I am told that I am “a good human” and that I deserve “a great Future.” On another flyer  I find the policies that protect the Future of New Zealand.

In the Bible I read today that “there is a Future for the man of peace,” and that “the Future of the wicked will be cut off.”

You find  that in the verses 37 + 38 in Psalm 37. The Psalm is of David.

“But,

Nehemiah 9:17

Intr.:

our God,

1.  you are merciful and

2.  quick to forgive;

3.  you are loving,

4.  kind, and

5.  very patient.

End:

So you never turned away from them.”
