All You Ends Of The Earth

Declare what is to be, present it— let them take counsel together.
Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from the distant past?
Was it not I, the Lord?
And there is no God apart from me,
a righteous God and a Savior;
there is none but me.

“Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God,
and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered
in all integrity a word that will not be revoked:

Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear.
They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone are righteousness and strength.’ ”
All who have raged against him will come to him and be put to shame.
But in the Lord all the descendants of Israel will be found
righteous and will exult.

Isaiah 45:21-25


Every Knee Should Bow

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,


that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:9-11

 


Little Ones

 

“And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,

 

 it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with
a large millstone tied around his neck.”
Mark 9:42

 

“But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believes
in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone
hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”
Matthew 18:6

Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people
to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through
whom they come. It would be better for him to be thrown
into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than
for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.
So watch yourselves.

Luke 17:1-3

 

 

 

 

 


A Fleeting Shadow

Man is like a breath; his days are like a fleeting shadow.

Psalm 144:4

You have made my days a mere handbreadth;

the span of my years is as nothing before you.

Each man’s life is but a breath. Man is a mere phantom as

he goes to and fro:

He bustles about, but only in vain; he heaps up wealth,

not knowing who will get it.
Psalm 39:5-6


The Cup

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too;

you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.

1 Corinthians 10:21
