!!! A WAY OUT
I Corinthians 10:12,13 (NIV)
\\So, if you think you are standing firm, \\
be careful that you don't fall! \\
No temptation has seized you except \\
what is common to man
And God is faithful; \\
He will not let you be tempted beyond \\
what you can bear.
But when you are tempted, \\
He will also provide a way out \\
so that you can stand up under it, \\
so that you can stand up under it.
\\
!!! BE AT REST
Psalm 116:7 (NIV)
 \\Be at rest once more, be at rest, O my soul,
be at rest once more, be at rest, O my soul,
for the Lord has been good, for the Lord has been good,
for the Lord has been good to you.
 
Be at rest once more, be at rest, O my soul,
be at rest once more, be at rest, O my soul,
for the Lord has been good, for the Lord has been good,
for the Lord has been good to me...
to me, to me, to me, to me...
\\
!!! BLACK SHEEP
''The Nursery Rhyme + '' Matthew 18:12-14,
John 10:110, 15b, & from Isaiah 1:18 (NIV)
'' \\''
''Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool? \\''
''Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full, \\''
''one for my master, one for my maid, \\''
''one for the little boy who lives down the lane. \\''
''Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool,''
''Yes, sir, yes sir, three bags full.''
 
If a man owns a hundred sheep,
and one of them wanders away,
will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look,
go to look... for the one that wandered off?
And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier
about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine
that did not wander off...
In the same way... your Father in Heaven...
is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.
I am the Good Shepherd, I lay down My life
I am the Good Shepherd, I lay down My life
for the sheep, for the sheep
 
''Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool? \\''
''Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full, \\''
''one for my master, one for my maid, \\''
''one for the little boy who lives down the lane. \\''
''Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool,''
''Yes, sir, yes,'''' and my wool is'' white as snow!
 
!!! BLESSED ARE...
Matthew 5:3-10 (NIV)
 \\Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God, sons of God,
Blessed are those who are persecuted
because of righteousness,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
\\
!!! BLESSED IS THE MAN
Jeremiah 17:7,8 (NIV)
 \\Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in Him, whose confidence is in Him.
He will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots, sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green. It has no worries...
in a year of drought and never fails...
never fails... never fails... to bear fruit.
\\
!!! DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED
John 14:1-4 (NIV)
 \\Do not let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God; trust also in Me.
Do not let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God; trust also in Me.
In My Father's house are many rooms,
if it were not so, I would have told you.
I am going there to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come back and take you to be with Me
that you also may be where I am.
You know the way to the place where I am going,
you know, you know the way.
You know the way to the place where I am going,
you know, you know the way.
 
!!! DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR CONFIDENCE
Hebrews 10:35-39 (NIV)
 
Do not throw away your confidence,
it will be richly rewarded.
You need to persevere
so that when you've done the will of God,
you will receive what He has promised.
For in just a very little while,
"He who is coming will come and will not delay
But my righteous one will live by faith
And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him."
But we are not of those who shrink back,
we are not of those who are destroyed,
but of those who believe and are saved,
who believe and are saved...
We are not of those who shrink back,
we are not of those who are destroyed,
but of those who believe and are saved,
who believe and are saved.
So do not throw away your confidence...
 
!!! DO NOT WORRY
%%( text-align: left; )
Luke 12:22-31 (NIV); Philippians 4.6 (TLB)
/%
 
Do not worry about your life.
Do not worry about what you'll eat.
Do not worry about what you'll wear.
Do not worry about anything!
 
1. Life is more than food, the body more than clothes.
Consider the ravens: they do not sow or reap,
they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them.
How much more valuable you are than birds!
How much more valuable you are than birds!
 
Do not worry about your life.
Do not worry about what you'll eat.
Do not worry about what you'll wear.
Do not worry about anything!
 
2. Who of you by worrying
can add a single hour to his life?
Since you cannot do this very little thing,
why do you worry about the rest?
How much more valuable you are than birds!
How much more valuable you are than birds!
 
Do not worry about your life.
Do not worry about what you'll eat.
Do not worry about what you'll wear.
Do not worry about anything!
 
3. Consider how the lilies grow.
They do not labor or spin.
Yet I tell you not even Solomon
in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field,
which is here today, and tomorrow thrown into the fire,
how much more will He clothe you, of little faith!
How much more will He clothe you!
 
Do not worry about your life.
Do not worry about what you'll eat.
Do not worry about what you'll wear.
Do not worry about anything!
 
4. And do not set your heart
on what you'll eat or drink;
do not worry about it.
For the pagan world runs after all such things,
and your Father knows that you need them.
But seek His Kingdom and these things
will be given to you as well.
''Seek His Kingdom and these things will be yours.*''
 
Do not worry about your life.
Do not worry about what you'll eat.
Do not worry about what you'll wear.
Do not worry about anything!

Finally, brothers, good-bye:
Aim for perfection, be of one mind, live in peace.

\\
!!! HE IS THE IMAGE
Colossians 1:15-20 (NIV)
 
He... He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation,
the firstborn over all....
For by Him all things were created:
things in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities,
all things were created by Him....
all things were created for Him
He is before all things,
and in Him all things hold together.
And He is the head of the body, the church.
He is the beginning
and the firstborn from among the dead,
so that in everything He might have the supremacy
For God was pleased
to have all His fullness dwell in Him,
and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things,
whether things on earth or things in heaven,
by making peace through His blood shed on the cross.
\\He... He is the image
of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation. The firstborn over all....
\\
!!! HEAR, O LORD
Psalm 86:1-4, 11-13 (NIV) ''Music by Joanne Geeze''
 
Hear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
Guard my life, for I am devoted to You.
You are my God, save Your servant who trusts in You
Have mercy on me, O Lord,
for I call to You all the day long.
Bring joy to Your servant,
for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
\\Teach me Your way, O Lord,
and I will walk in Your truth.
Give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name.
I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,
I will glorify Your name forever and ever and ever.
For great is Your love toward me;
You have delivered my soul from the depths of the grave.
\\
!!! HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT
2 Corinthians 12:9,10 (NIV)
 
His grace is sufficient for me, His grace is sufficient for me,
for His power is made perfect in weakness,
His grace is sufficient for me.
\\Therefore I will boast all the more gladly
about my weaknesses,
so that Christ's power may rest on me,
so that Christ's power may rest on me
\\His grace is sufficient for me, His grace is sufficient for me,
for His power is made perfect in weakness,
His grace is sufficient for me.
\\That is why, for Christ's sake,
I delight in weaknesses, in insults,
in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.
For when I'm weak, then I'm strong
\\His grace is sufficient for me, His grace is sufficient for me,
for His power is made perfect in weakness,
His grace is sufficient for me.
\\
!!! HOW GREAT IS THE LOVE
1 John 3:1, 2 (NIV)
 
How great is the love, how great is the love
the Father has lavished, lavished on us,
that we should be called children of God!
And that is what we are!
The reason the world does not know us is that
it did not know Him.
Dear friends, now we are children, children of God,
and what we will be has not yet been made known.
But we know, we know that when He appears,
we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is,
we shall see Him as He is
\\
!!! HUMBLE YOURSELVES
1 Peter 5:6-11 (RSV)
 
Humble yourselves, therefore,
under the mighty hand of God,
that in due time He may exalt you.
Cast all your anxieties on Him,
for He cares about you.
Be sober, be watchful.
\\Your adversary the devil
prowls around like a roaring hơn,
seeking someone to devour
Resist him, firm in your faith,
knowing that the same experience of suffering
is required of your brotherhood throughout the world.
\\And after you have suffered a little while,
the God of all grace,
who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ,
will Himself restore, establish, and strengthen you.
To Him be the dominion for ever and ever
\\To Him be the dominion for ever and ever... ''(repeat freely)''
Amen.
\\
!!! I AM THE WAY
John 14:6; Isaiah 35:80.9.10 (NIV)
 
I am the way... the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
I am the way... the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
\\And a highway will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness.
The unclean will not journey on it,
it will be for those who walk in that Way...
No lion will be there,
nor will any ferocious beast get up on it;
they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed will walk there,
and the ransomed of the Lord will return.
\\They will enter Zion with singing,
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
\\They will enter Zion with singing,

2 John 5b, 6 (NIV)
 
I ask that we love one another.
I ask that we love one another.
I ask that we love one another.
I ask that we love one another.
\\And this is love, this is love: \\
that we walk in obedience to His commands.

I have finished the race,
I have kept, I have kept the faith.
\\
Now there is in store for me
the crown of righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous Judge,
will award to me on that day,
and not only to me, but also to all –
who have longed for His appearing.
