Today's Thought: Living by Faith... not sight! “It is not faith and works; it is not faith or works; it is faith that works.” — Author Unknown Proverbs 29 1 ¶ He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. 2 ¶ When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. 3 ¶ Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance. 4 ¶ The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it. 5 ¶ A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. 6 ¶ In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. 7 ¶ The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it. 8 ¶ Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath. 9 ¶ If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. 10 ¶ The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul. 11 ¶ A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. 12 ¶ If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. 13 ¶ The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes. 14 ¶ The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever. 15 ¶ The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. 16 ¶ When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall. 17 ¶ Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. 18 ¶ Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. 19 ¶ A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer. 20 ¶ Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him. 21 ¶ He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length. 22 ¶ An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. 23 ¶ A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. 24 ¶ Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not. 25 ¶ The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. 26 ¶ Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD. 27 ¶ An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked. #dailydevotional #BibleVerses #TodaysThought #KJV #livingbyfaithnotsight #proverbs29

Psalm 77 - Overwhelmed and Anxious? 1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. 3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. 4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. 6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. 7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? 8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? 9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. 10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. 11 ¶ I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. 12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. 13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? 14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. 15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. 16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. 17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. 18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. 19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. 20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Genesis 13 KJV Audio Bible - Abram and Lot part ways 1And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. 2And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. 3And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai; 4Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. 5And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 6And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. 7And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land. 8And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. 9Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. 10And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. 11Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. 12Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. 13But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. 14And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: 15For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. 16And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered. 17Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. 18Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD. #dailydevotional #BibleVerses #TodaysThought #KJVaudiobible #genesis

Today's Thought: Matthew 14 - Jesus Walks on Water “The astronomer is particularly careful to have his telescope lenses clean and free from all dust. The smallest speck of dust might affect an object’s appearance. It will look different than it is. So should a Christian be careful to have their faith wiped clean of all the dust of doubts and unbelief, lest they should behold the truths of God imperfectly and come to an incorrect judgment. Without faith to guide and direct them, things will look different than they are or could be.” — John Bate Matthew 14 1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, 2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. 3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. 4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. 5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. 6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. 7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. 8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. 9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. 10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. 11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. 12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. 13 ¶ When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. 14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. 15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18 He said, Bring them hither to me. 19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. 21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children. 22 ¶ And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. 33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. 34 ¶ And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; 36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole. ********************************************************* Brethren, Arise by Chris Zabriskie is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://chriszabriskie.com/darkglow/ Artist: http://chriszabriskie.com/ #dailydevotional #BibleVerses #TodaysThought #KJV

Today's Thought: Proverbs 28 - Bold as a Lion “If I had three hundred men who feared nothing but God, hated nothing but sin, and were determined to know nothing among men but Jesus Christ and Him crucified, I would set the world on fire.” — John Wesley Proverbs 28 1 ¶ The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. 2 ¶ For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. 3 ¶ A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. 4 ¶ They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. 5 ¶ Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things. 6 ¶ Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. 7 ¶ Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father. 8 ¶ He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. 9 ¶ He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. 10 ¶ Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession. 11 ¶ The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. 12 ¶ When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. 13 ¶ He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. 14 ¶ Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. 15 ¶ As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. 16 ¶ The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. 17 ¶ A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him. 18 ¶ Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. 19 ¶ He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. 20 ¶ A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. 21 ¶ To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. 22 ¶ He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him. 23 ¶ He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. 24 ¶ Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer. 25 ¶ He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat. 26 ¶ He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. 27 ¶ He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. 28 ¶ When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase. #dailydevotional #BibleVerses #TodaysThought #KJV #Proverbs28 #boldasalion

Today's Thought: Psalm 76 - 3 Attributes of God Psalm 76 1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel. 2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. 3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah. 4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. 5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands. 6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. 7 ¶ Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? 8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still, 9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah. 10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. 11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. 12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth. #dailydevotional #BibleVerses #TodaysThought #KJV #Psalm76

Genesis 12 KJV Audio Bible - Abram goes into Canaan 1Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 4So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. 5And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. 6And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. 7And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him. 8And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD. 9And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south. 10And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land. 11And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon: 12Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. 13Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee. 14And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. 15The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. 16And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels. 17And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife. 18And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? 19Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way. 20And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had. #dailydevotional #BibleVerses #TodaysThought #KJV #audiobible #Genesis12

Today's Thought: Matthew 13 - Parables of the Kingdom Matthew 13 1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. 2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. 3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. 10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. 18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 24 ¶ Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. ________________________________________ Some of The files was provided to Wikimedia Commons by Distant Shores Media/Sweet Publishing as part of a cooperation project.

Today's Thought: Proverbs 27 - Your Time is Precious “The clock passes time by keeping its hands busy.” — Author Unknown Proverbs 27 1 ¶ Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. 2 ¶ Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips. 3 ¶ A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both. 4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? 5 ¶ Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. 7 ¶ The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. 8 ¶ As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place. 9 ¶ Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. 10 Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off. 11 ¶ My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me. 12 ¶ A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished. 13 ¶ Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. 14 ¶ He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. 15 ¶ A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. 16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself. 17 ¶ Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. 18 ¶ Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured. 19 ¶ As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. 20 ¶ Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. 21 ¶ As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise. 22 ¶ Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him. 23 ¶ Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. 24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? 25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. 27 And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens. #dailydevotional #BibleVerses #TodaysThought #KJV

Today's Thought - Proverbs 26 - Work Vs. Laziness.. GET TO WORK! 1 ¶ As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool. 2 ¶ As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come. 3 ¶ A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back. 4 ¶ Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. 6 ¶ He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage. 7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool. 9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 10 ¶ The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors. 11 ¶ As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. 12 ¶ Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him. 13 ¶ The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. 14 ¶ As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. 15 ¶ The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. 16 ¶ The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason. 17 ¶ He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. 18 ¶ As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, 19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport? 20 ¶ Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. 21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. 22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. 23 ¶ Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross. 24 ¶ He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; 25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. 26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. 27 ¶ Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him. 28 ¶ A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

Psalm 75 - Righteous Judgement 1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare. 2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly. 3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. 4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: 5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. 6 ¶ For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. 7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. 8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them. 9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. 10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Today's Thought: Will you take a stand? Psalm 74 1 Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? 2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. 3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. 4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs. 5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. 6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. 7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. 8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. 9 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. 10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? 11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom. 12 ¶ For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. 13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. 14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. 15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers. 16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun. 17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. 18 ¶ Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. 19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever. 20 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. 21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name. 22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. 23 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually. #dailydevotional #BibleVerses #TodaysThought #KJV #biblestudy #Psalm74
