Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12.21

[Melissa @ChesedofMessiah]

For we who live are constantly being handed over to death because of Jesus,
so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal flesh.

2 Corinthians 4:11

[Melissa @ChesedofMessiah]

A bruised reed he will not break,
and a faintly burning wick he will not quench;
he will faithfully bring forth justice.

Isaiah 42:3

[Rabina @rabinahakin]

Unless the Lord had been my help, My soul would soon have settled in silence. If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up. In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.
Psalms 94:17-19

By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept When we remembered Zion.
Psalms 137:1

“I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.”
~Isaiah 41:18🕊

Go Ye Out to Meet Him

There is a cry that echoes through the ages—
clear, urgent, and filled with mercy:

“Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him.” — Matthew 25

It is not a call to delay,
nor a call to remain as we are,
but a summons to rise—
to leave behind every weight
and turn our hearts fully toward Him.

Many carry heavy burdens,
garments stained with the dust of this world,
yet the invitation still stands:

Come. Be washed. Be made ready.

The narrow way is not meant to bind,
but to free us from all that keeps us from Him.
For the Lamb has made a way—
through His blood, through His grace—
that we might stand before Him unashamed.

Blessed indeed are those who are in Him,
for they shall rest from their labor,
and their works shall follow them. — Revelation 14:13

So let us not linger on the outer edge,
nor be found unready when He appears.

Let us go out to meet Him—
with hearts awakened,
garments made white,
and lamps burning with holy expectation.

For the Bridegroom comes.

And blessed are they
who are ready.

"Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things. Blessed be his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and Amen!"
Psalm 72:18-19

[RUI @quiet_tranquil]

Every “today” that we have is truly the Lord’s grace.

As long as we have today, as long as we still have breath, we should love the Lord & His appearing, await the Lord’s coming, & always take His coming as an encouragement.

Lord Jesus,
gain our moments & our days for Yourself

How easy it is in times of confusion such as at present,
to fight in the name of Christ against the true Christ.

If anyone claims to be in the light but
hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.

1 John 2:9

[Coleen Guzman @gypsyOTR]

“But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God.”
~Romans 5:8-9🕊

[ONE FOR ISRAEL Ministry @oneforisrael]

“In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth will be the pride and the adornment of the survivors of Israel” (Isa 4:2).

Based on the parallelism in this poetic verse, “the Branch of the LORD” and “the fruit of the earth” are mutually related terms. Since “the Branch of the LORD” in the first half of the verse is a well-recognized name for the Davidic Messiah (see 2 Sam 23:5; Jer 23:5; 33:15; Zech 3:8; 6:12), “the fruit of the earth” must be a reference to the Messiah as well. The Branch of the LORD highlights the Messiah’s heavenly origins, while the fruit of the earth points to His earthly origins.

And herein lies a paradoxical mystery with respect to Israel’s Messiah: How is it possible that a son of David is also called “God with us” (Isa 7:14) and “Mighty God” (Isa 9:6[5])? How can One who is divinely exalted (compare Isa 52:13 with Isa 6:1; 33:10; 57:15) also be so despised and beaten beyond human recognition (Isa 50:6; 52:14; 53:5, 7)?

An even more difficult question than “How?” is the deeper question of “Why?” Why would Israel’s divine Messiah— to whom belongs all honor and glory—willingly offer His back to smiters and be led like a lamb to the slaughter? The only answer is the love of our Great Shepherd, who willingly sacrificed His own life to save his sheep.

“Like a shepherd He will tend His flock, in His arm He will gather the lambs and carry them in His bosom; He will gently lead the nursing ewes” (Isa 40:11). “All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him” (Isa 53:6).

“And He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls” (1 Pet 2:24–25).

But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me.
Psalms 31:14-15

What did Yeshua mean when he said to take wine and bread in remembrance of him? It was less about sacrament than about eschatology. #pesach #eucharist #lastsupper https://t.co/rC6pEeQZE0

They will sanctify My Name.
They will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and stand in awe of the God of Israel.

Those who go astray in spirit will come to understanding, and those who murmur will learn instruction.

Isaiah 29:23-24

“For He will hide me in His shelter in the day of trouble; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock.”

"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice."
Philippians 4:4

[NarrowWay @Narrow__Way]

If we say that we have fellowship with
Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth…

1 John 1:6

[Just a Pilgrim @FireThatRefines]

Who shall ascend the mountain of HaShem & who shall stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to what is false & does not swear deceitfully. He will receive blessing from HaShem, righteousness from the God of his salvation.

[Melissa @ChesedofMessiah]

Worthy are You to take the scroll & to break its seals;
for You were slaughtered,
& You purchased people for God with Your blood from every tribe, language, people, & nation.

You have made them into a kingdom & priests to our God,
and they will reign upon the earth.

Rev 5:9-10
