Have it All - Bethel lyric video

Hillsong United - Lead Me To The Cross

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.

For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away. Indeed, if a man should live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything that is to come will be futility. How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? With reproofs You chasten a man for iniquity; You consume as a moth what is precious to him; Surely every man is a mere breath. Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us, And the years we have seen evil.

Psalm 31English Standard Version (ESV)

Into Your Hand I Commit My Spirit

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

31 In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;

let me never be put to shame;

in your righteousness deliver me!

2 Incline your ear to me;

rescue me speedily!

Be a rock of refuge for me,

a strong fortress to save me!

3 For you are my rock and my fortress;

and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me;

4 you take me out of the net they have hidden for me,

for you are my refuge.

5 Into your hand I commit my spirit;

you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.

6 I hate[a] those who pay regard to worthless idols,

but I trust in the Lord.

7 I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love,

because you have seen my affliction;

you have known the distress of my soul,

8 and you have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy;

you have set my feet in a broad place.

9 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;

my eye is wasted from grief;

my soul and my body also.

10 For my life is spent with sorrow,

and my years with sighing;

my strength fails because of my iniquity,

and my bones waste away.

11 Because of all my adversaries I have become a reproach,

especially to my neighbors,

and an object of dread to my acquaintances;

those who see me in the street flee from me.

12 I have been forgotten like one who is dead;

I have become like a broken vessel.

13 For I hear the whispering of many—

terror on every side!—

as they scheme together against me,

as they plot to take my life.

14 But I trust in you, O Lord;

I say, “You are my God.”

15 My times are in your hand;

rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!

16 Make your face shine on your servant;

save me in your steadfast love!

17 O Lord, let me not be put to shame,

for I call upon you;

let the wicked be put to shame;

let them go silently to Sheol.

18 Let the lying lips be mute,

which speak insolently against the righteous

in pride and contempt.

19 Oh, how abundant is your goodness,

which you have stored up for those who fear you

and worked for those who take refuge in you,

in the sight of the children of mankind!

20 In the cover of your presence you hide them

from the plots of men;

you store them in your shelter

from the strife of tongues.

21 Blessed be the Lord,

for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me

when I was in a besieged city.

22 I had said in my alarm,[b]

“I am cut off from your sight.”

But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy

when I cried to you for help.

23 Love the Lord, all you his saints!

The Lord preserves the faithful

but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.

24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,

all you who wait for the Lord!

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive any complaint you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which is the bond of perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.


Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.


I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.


But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.


Trust the Lord completely, and don’t depend on your own knowledge. With every step you take, think about what he wants, and he will help you go the right way. Don’t trust in your own wisdom, but fear and respect the Lord and stay away from evil.


Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land, and verily you shall be fed.


For the LORD is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.


For I know the plans I have for you"--this is the LORD's declaration--"plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.


The LORD is good— a refuge in troubled times. He knows those who are confiding in him.


I remember my affliction and my wandering,

the bitterness and the gall.

I well remember them,

and my soul is downcast within me.

Yet this I call to mind

and therefore I have hope:

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,

for his compassions never fail.

They are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.

I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;

therefore I will wait for him.”

The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,

to the one who seeks him;

it is good to wait quietly

for the salvation of the Lord.

It is good for a man to bear the yoke

while he is young.


“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

neither are your ways my ways,”

declares the Lord.

“As the heavens are higher than the earth,

so are my ways higher than your ways

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

As the rain and the snow

come down from heaven,

and do not return to it

without watering the earth

and making it bud and flourish,

so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

so is my word that goes out from my mouth:

It will not return to me empty,

but will accomplish what I desire

and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.


Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.




Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts

Pastor Dieudonne sings a lovely worship song outside his house in Burkina Faso.

Lyrics:

I will praise my Lord, it’s true

Worship His name, it’s true

The Lord is my God

He’s done wonderful things for me

I am very grateful, it’s true

For He’s my Savior, it’s true

He delivered me from slavery 

He gave me breathe of life

And He saved my life 

And He takes care of us, it’s true

He takes care of my family, it’s true

He takes care of my wife

He takes care of my children

He takes care of my relatives, it’s true

I am very grateful 

I’ll worship your name 

And honor your name

You are the True God 

You are my King

Receive my praises 

I am very grateful, it’s true 

For all your wonders my father, it’s true

Receive my praises, it’s true 

You are so good, it’s true

You’ve spoken, it’s true

And you accomplished your word, it’s true 

You sent your only Son, it’s true

And He came down in this world

He laid down His life 

His life was a sacrifice, it’s true 

He saved our life, it’s true 

He set us free from slavery, it’s true 

I am very grateful 

I want to say thank you Lord

I worship your name because you loved us so much, it’s true 

You love us with a sincere love, it’s true

I want to say thank you Lord

Receive my worship

Lord you are my God

Kari Jobe - Holy Spirit

Diligent hands brings profit

He who gathers in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame.

A wise son hears his father’s instruction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.

If you love sleep, you will end in poverty. Keep your eyes open, and there will be plenty to eat!

Prepare your work outside
And make it ready for yourself in the field;
Afterwards, then, build your house.

In all labor there is profit, But mere talk leads only to poverty.

Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.

Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.

Go to the ant, O sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise.
Without having any chief,
officer, or ruler,
she prepares her bread in summer
and gathers her food in harvest.
How long will you lie there, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?
A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.

You have searched me, LORD, and you know me.
You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I'm far away.

The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.

For I know what I have planned for you,' says the LORD. 'I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope.

Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can't be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

At just the right time, I will respond to you. On the day of salvation I will help you.
There is hope for your latter end, says the LORD



But I pray to you, LORD, in the time of your favor; in your great love, O God, answer me with your sure salvation.

Psalm 25 

Of David.

1In you, Lord my God,

I put my trust.

2I trust in you;

do not let me be put to shame,

nor let my enemies triumph over me.

3No one who hopes in you

will ever be put to shame,

but shame will come on those

who are treacherous without cause.

4Show me your ways, Lord,

teach me your paths.

5Guide me in your truth and teach me,

for you are God my Savior,

and my hope is in you all day long.

6Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,

for they are from of old.

7Do not remember the sins of my youth

and my rebellious ways;

according to your love remember me,

for you, Lord, are good.

8Good and upright is the Lord;

therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.

9He guides the humble in what is right

and teaches them his way.

10All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful

toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.

11For the sake of your name, Lord,

forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

12Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?

He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.b

13They will spend their days in prosperity,

and their descendants will inherit the land.

14The Lord confides in those who fear him;

he makes his covenant known to them.

15My eyes are ever on the Lord,

for only he will release my feet from the snare.

16Turn to me and be gracious to me,

for I am lonely and afflicted.

17Relieve the troubles of my heart

and free me from my anguish.

18Look on my affliction and my distress

and take away all my sins.

19See how numerous are my enemies

and how fiercely they hate me!

20Guard my life and rescue me;

do not let me be put to shame,

for I take refuge in you.

21May integrity and uprightness protect me,

because my hope, Lord,c is in you.

22Deliver Israel, O God,

from all their troubles!

By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.  2 Peter 1:3

Isaiah 57

Comfort for the Contrite

14 And it shall be said,
“Build up, build up, prepare the way,
remove every obstruction from my people's way.”

15 For thus says the One who is high and lifted up,
who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
“I dwell in the high and holy place,
and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly,
and to revive the heart of the contrite.

16 For I will not contend forever,
nor will I always be angry;
for the spirit would grow faint before me,
and the breath of life that I made.

17 Because of the iniquity of his unjust gain I was angry,
I struck him; I hid my face and was angry,
but he went on backsliding in the way of his own heart.

18 I have seen his ways, but I will heal him;

I will lead him and restore comfort to him and his mourners,
19 creating the fruit of the lips.

Peace, peace, to the far and to the near,” says the Lord,
“and I will heal him.

20 But the wicked are like the tossing sea;
for it cannot be quiet,
and its waters toss up mire and dirt.
21 There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
