God reaching from Heaven through Jesus' Blood to us, who were in darkness
๐
I'm learning how to really look into things now from what we do on these apps and it's giving me a new aspect when I read the bible.
The 10 Plagues were not a pretty picture
Amen
My parents said I was their most stubborn child

Thank you, Lord, for being there for me and allowing me to cry out to you in my times of need.
It is amazing to me that the Lord of the Universe would take time to listen to me and to care about what I say.
God, there are things happening around me right now that I do not understand. Some of these things make me feel weak, helpless and afraid.
Even in the midst of this, I know that you are the Lord.
I know that the situation is in Your hand, and I trust You.
I beseech you for strength and for wisdom that I would be able to endure this situation and be able to handle it in a way that would bring glory to Your name.
In Jesus name. Amen.
@Patriotski So beautiful
@ MarchQueen17 Thank you. Always know that our Lord God is in control.
Hear what comfortable words our Saviour Christ saith unto all who truly turn to him.
COME unto me, all ye that travail and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you. St. Matt. xi. 28.
So God loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, to the end that all that believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. St. John iii. 16.
Hear also what Saint Paul saith.
This is a true saying, and worthy of all men to be received, That Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. 1 Tim. i. 15.
Hear also what Saint John saith.
If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the Propitiation for our sins. 1 St. John ii. 1, 2.
O God, you made us in your own image and redeemed us
through Jesus your Son: Look with compassion on the whole
human family; take away the arrogance and hatred which
infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us;
unite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and
confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that, in
your good time, all nations and races may serve you in
harmony around your heavenly throne; through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
Mic 1:16ย Make thee bald, and be polled for thy delicate children: enlarge thy baldness as the eagle: for they are carried into captivity from thee.
I. Great cities are often guilty of great sins. Proximity and commercial intercourse corrupt. Popular sins spring from certain ranks and certain places. Each has its special sin, and all are involved in idolatry and its miseries.
Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn
but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the
strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that
all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of
Peace, as children of one Father; to whom be dominion and
glory, now and for ever. Amen.
II. In the punishment of great cities God deals to each its due. Each city of Judah received its due. Saphir with its beauty would be clothed with shame; Zaanan with its flocks and population would be the encampment of the enemy, and unable to sympathize with Beth-ezel, its nearest neighbour. The inhabitants of Maroth would expect good and receive evil; Lachish would be strong only to flee, โlike a brook that fails and deceives; her inheritance (Mareshah) inherited; herself taking refuge in dens and caves of the earth, yet even there found and bereft of her glory.โ God weighs truly the responsibilities of each, and foremost in privileges will be foremost in punishment for the neglect of those privileges.
III. No earthly power can ward off the punishment of great cities. It may be lawful to defend ourselves in danger; but against Godโs fierce anger none can prevail. 1. Human helps will be in vain. Maroth waited anxiously for good, but were disappointed (Mic_1:12). Beauty and strength, splendid positions and large populations, will not succour those who trust to them. Men who hope in sin will find bitterness in the end; and this bitterness may only be the beginning of a greator calamity. โUnto the gate of Jerusalem.โ 2. Flight cannot save (Mic_1:13). Lachish had chariots and swift beasts, but where are they now? Shut up in the hand of the enemy, and unable to escape. โThe horse is prepared against the day of battle, but safety is of the Lord.โ 3. Presents cannot bribe.
3. Presents cannot bribe. Lachish would send gifts to some town or country in Gath to purchase aid against the invader, but would be disappointed. Wicked men employ any means rather than seek God in trouble. They might learn from those whose sins are written on their foreheads, and whose name and nature are a lie. โThe houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the king of Israel.โ 4. Great distance will not secure. Adullam was the remotest border to Assyria (Mic_1:15). Distance, if such there be, can never exempt from Godโs judgments. He will find out and chastise the guilty wherever they be. Christ is the only security, and heaven the only abiding inheritance. Secure those blessings from which no enemy can drive you.
IV. Universal mourning results from the ruin of great cities. The body of the people, the mother cities, are called upon to mourn. The people will be taken captive and diminished, or if left behind will be weakened and despised. Sin in the end will turn mirth into bitterness, deprive of liberty, plunge into misery and everlasting lamentation. โAnd in that day did the Lord God of Hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth.โ
Mic 1:1ย The word of the Lord, that came to Micheas, the Morasthite, in the days of Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda: which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.ย
Mic 1:2ย Hear, all ye people: and let the earth give ear, and all that is therein: and let the Lord God be a witness to you, the Lord from his holy temple.ย
Mic 1:3ย For behold the Lord will come forth out of his place: and he will come down, and will tread upon the high places of the earth.ย
Mic 1:4ย And the mountains shall be melted under him: and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as waters that run down a steep place.ย
Mic 1:5ย For the wickedness of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the wickedness of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Juda? are they not Jerusalem?ย
Mic 1:6ย And I will make Samaria as a heap of stones in the field when a vineyard is planted: and I will bring down the stones thereof into the valley, and will lay her foundations bare.ย
Mic 1:7ย And all her graven things shall be cut in pieces, and all her wages shall be burnt with fire, and I will bring to destruction all her idols: for they were gathered together of the hire of a harlot, and unto the hire of a harlot they shall return.ย
Mic 1:8ย Therefore will I lament, and howl: I will go stript and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and a mourning like the ostriches.ย
Mic 1:9ย Because her wound is desperate, because it is come even to Juda, it hath touched the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.ย
Mic 1:10ย Declare ye it not in Geth, weep ye not with tears: in the house of Dust sprinkle yourselves with dust.ย
Mic 1:11ย And pass away, O thou that dwellest in the beautiful place, covered with thy shame: she went not forth that dwelleth in the confines: the house adjoining shall receive mourning from you, which stood by herself.
Mic 1:12ย For she is become weak unto good that dwelleth in bitterness: for evil is come down from the Lord into the gate of Jerusalem.ย
Mic 1:13ย A tumult of chariots hath astonished the inhabitants of Lachis: it is the beginning of sin to the daughter of Sion for in thee were found the crimes of Israel.ย
Mic 1:14ย Therefore shall she send messengers to the inheritance of Geth: the houses of lying to deceive the kings of Israel.ย
Mic 1:15ย Yet will I bring an heir to thee that dwellest in Maresa: even to Odollam shall the glory of Israel come.ย
Mic 1:16ย Make thee bald, and be polled for thy delicate children: enlarge thy baldness as the eagle: for they are carried into captivity from thee.
John Darby--- The Lord speaks in this book from His temple, and addresses all the peoples-the whole earth. That is to say, He takes His place upon His earthly throne to judge the whole earth, in testimony against all the nations. But He comes from on high, coming forth out of His place to tread upon the high places of the earth. And all that is lifted up shall be molten under Him, and all that is abased shall be as wax before the fire. And wherefore this intervention in judgment? Why does He not leave the nations still to walk in their own ways, afar from Him, in long-sufferance to their folly? It is because His own people, the witness for His name upon the earth, are in transgression against Him-have given themselves up to the service of other gods, or to iniquity. There is no longer any testimony of God in the earth, except indeed it be a false testimony; and God must therefore render it to Himself. All the sins of the nations then come into remembrance before Him, and spread themselves out before eyes that cannot endure them. He leaves His people to the consequences of their sin, so that they fall under the power of their enemies, whose pride on this account rises to such a height that it brings down the judgment of God, who intervenes to deliver the remnant whom He loves and to take His place of righteous Ruler over all the nations.
