Morning Devotion: Read Proverbs

Proverbs 25:4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer. 5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

Proverbs 17:3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.

Dross are the impurities that permeate good metals like Gold and Silver. Those metals must go through a refining fire or a smelting process allowing the impurities to rise to the top of the molten metal. The impure scum is scraped off resulting in a pure metal.

My friend, the impurities of the heart have only to be purged by the Lord Jesus Christ in salvation. God has laid upon Jesus Christ all of your iniquities and impurities at Calvary. Jesus paid for your sins.

Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

It is after men are saved, born again, that there is need daily to insure their hearts are pure with God.

2 Timothy 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

1John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

How does one do that; how does a born again, bible believing Christian purify himself once he is pure in Christ Jesus?

It is very simple, draw nigh to God through His word; Read God’s word and do what the bible says.

It is very simple, draw nigh to God in prayer, seeking His will through HIs word. The procedure is simple, determine to read God’s word. Pick up your bible and open it. Before you begin pray and ask God to show you His will in His word. When you read it God will show you what is right and what is wrong.

When you read of a wrong that is in your life pray and confess it to God, forsake it and move forward leaving it behind.

If you find a promise in God’s word, claim and make it your own.

If you find a challenge that requires a step of faith, take it trusting God to help you.

Proverbs 25:4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer. 5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

Let’s apply that to kings and thrones and dominions: if those kings and presidents and prime ministers and leaders would lead and do those things in God’s word their capacity to make wise decisions would be greatly blessed by the God of heaven.

Let’s make it personal, if you would do the same thing, your life would be established in righteousness.

Can you imagine a world established in righteousness? It will happen when Jesus returns.

Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

It all starts with trusting the Lord Jesus Christ to save your soul.

Morning Devotion: Read Proverbs

Proverbs 25:1 These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out. 2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

In this portion of scriptures it is the men of Hezekiah king of Juda who wrote them. Solomon wrote the Proverbs, the book of Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon. The. Men of Hezekiah wrote more of what Solomon gave.

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

What God has given us is called the bible, God’s holy word. Even that is too much for most people. Most people don’t read God’s word yet have great opinion of it.

God does not reveal everything to us. With our finite minds the knowledge of God would be too much for us to handle. What we need to know is given to us, the rest is concealed from us. Why?

Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

God’s way are so high and His thoughts so inscrutable that we would not be able to comprehend it all. This He gives us what we need.

This world cannot contain all the that there is to know about God.

John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

So, what are we to do with what we have?

2Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

I am convinced, if we as believers would follow what we already know about God and His word, 90% of all our problems would vanish.

Read, study, memorize and live what God has already given to you. Don’t worry about the rest. Let God take care of that.

When we as born again bible believing Christians get to heaven, God will let us know the rest. Until then live, serve, worship and give God all the glory due His name.

Morning Devotion: Read Proverbs

Proverbs 24:30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; 31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. 32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. 33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

Proverbs 6:10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

Proverbs 20:4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

Can there be anything more plain than to read theses words concerning the slothful, the sluggard, the lazy person.

Nothing is always accomplished by doing nothing.

An important principle is established in our text; being slothful, lazy or being a sluggard results in poverty. Poverty makes itself apparent in an untimely manner appearing as one in travel. (Have you ever had trouble while traveling? Maybe your car broke down on the side of the road or engine problems stopped you causing great consternation.) poverty also appears as a soldier in full armour. Meaning the poverty manifests itself as a daunting unstoppable soldier ready for battle. When it appears it’s too late.

What’s the solution? Get to work.

2Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

The field and the vineyard must be worked to yield any fruit. The soil must be prepared, the seed must be planted, the weeds must be kept down and the crop must be gathered. The vineyard must first be planted and the mature vine must be pruned and nurtured before a good yield is gathered. All this takes work. No work, no yield, no work brings no revenue and poverty ensues.

I am reminded of Joni Eareckson Tada, a woman who became quadriplegic paralyzed from the shoulders down after diving into a shallow swimming pool.

Joni was never a sluggard despite her malady. She went on to accomplish great things establishing business, writing music, serving the on several medical boards for the U.S. Government. She has her own daily radio broadcast and paints using her mouth to hold the brush.

If anyone were to have an excuse to become slothful she had it. However, she decided to work and accomplish great things for God instead of sitting in misery and making excuses.

Everyone has a choice.

Proverbs 24:30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; 31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. 32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. 33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

Do you make excuses for letting your field go fallow?

Morning Devotion: Read Proverbs

Proverbs 24:28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips. 29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

Being a witness without a cause is nothing more than one exercising revenge or manipulating things for self purpose.

Being a witness in deception and revenge is no cause at all except the gain for ones own self whether its to make oneself look good or destroy another for gain and personal pride.

Proverbs 24:29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

For the Christian to seek revenge goes against the righteousness and holiness of which they were bought and of which their Lord embodies.

Remember, Jesus sought no revenge while hanging on Calvary’s cross; Jesus sought the salvation of those who put Him there.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

To demand your pound of flesh is wrong. That quote comes from the work of Shakespeare in the Merchant of Venice when a jewish man was outcast from Venice. Christians often become outcast for doing what is right with God.

What should you do when others bring false witness against you?

Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Our recourse is to give such vengeance to God for He says; “Vengeance is mine I will repay.”

Psalm 94:1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. 2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. 3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? 4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? 5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. 6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. 7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. 8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? 9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? 10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? 11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

When God repays, He does so in perfect righteousness and holiness. His judgment is perfect and pure. Let Him make the call.

There is a great victory to be gained for the believer who learns to give such things to the Lord. The bitterness is gone, hatred is gone, vengeance no longer becomes a concern and fretting which brings stress is relived.

Give it to the Lord and move on. 1Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Proverbs 24:28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips. 29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

It all begins with salvation. Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Morning Devotion: Read Proverbs

Proverbs 24:23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment. 24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him: 25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them. 26 Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.

This portion of scripture, at least until the end of the chapter is more or less a rehearsal of what has already been said in Proverbs. Repetition is a wonderful tool for learning.

Many times in scripture we find the admonition concerning undue respect with people. How often do people hand out respect to others simply because of their station or wealth or some attribute they bear.

Deuteronomy 16:19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

Our Lord has respect to His covenant, and to the lowly of heart and to righteousness. He has no respect to wickedness and sin. Just because a person is rich or has a position in authority or is beautiful or handsome or talented does not merit respect from God.

Remember, God looks on the heart not the outward appearance. Pharaoh had a hard heart. He was everything one would have respect to in this day and age. He had position, and wealth, and ruled an entire country. Yet the Lord saw something else, He saw his heart.

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Proverbs 24:23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment. 24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him: 25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them. 26 Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.

What belongs to the wise is the ability to see what is righteous and to rebuke what is not. Those who are of the same mind, namely the born again believer, will bless and kiss the lips of those who act in such a manner.

There is one to whom great respect an honour belongs, He is Jesus.

While the heathen rage without wisdom, those who kiss the king do so in righteousness.

Psalm 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. 10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

We should respect people, but hand out respect in righteousness.

Proverbs 24:21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change: 22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?

When one is yielded to God and His established governments that one is less inclined to meddle with those given to change. It would prevent him from a entering to a rebellious relationship that would disrupt the peace that comes from a godly entity bringing revolutions and plots to change God’s plan.

We see much meddling in our world today. With that in mind we must know that if there is change it must come from God.

Isaiah 40:15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.

Daniel 2:20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: 21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

Countries and nations have come and gone over the years: The Ottoman Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, British Raj, Prussia and a host of others have either ceased to exist or changed via oppression and or being conquered.

I am reminded of the nations is the bible who have ceased to exist as well.

Exodus 23:23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

Proverbs 24:21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change: 22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?

There is great change going on in this world today, all of which will ultimately lead to God’s perfect plan of redemption when Jesus returns. Then will the Lord judge those nations and people given to change. Read Revelation 19:11-21

Until then, our focus, our eyes must be set on the only thing that is not given to change, that is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Malachi 3:6a For I am the LORD, I change not;

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Along with our Lord abiding forever and not given to change, so the true believer who cannot lose their salvation in Christ Jesus, abides forever as well.

Psalm 125:1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

1Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

1John 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Proverbs 24:21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change: 22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Proverbs 24:19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked; 20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

Proverbs 24:1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

There is nothing to fret or worry about evil men nor to be envious at them. Their power for whatever their endeavours pursue are but for a brief moment. Their reward will be nothing as one can see in Luke chapter 16.

Luke 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

There was no reward for all the rich man’s work on earth. Eternity was his end; it is an eternity without hope for he is still there.

The born again believer has a different expectation in eternity.

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

The light of the wicked will go out and the light of the saved will last forever.

Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

Proverbs 24:19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked; 20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Proverbs 24:17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: 18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

No one should rejoice over the misfortunes of another even if they are enemies. Every man is against the Lord until that man is born again.

Psalm 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. 5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known:

But by the grace of God we, the born again believer, has experienced salvation and have gone from unrighteousness to righteousness. If we got what we deserved we would all be destroyed and in hell.

Therefore, we should never rejoice over the misfortunes of others in this life or the next. It should burden our souls.

We must also understand that God who watches from the heavenly places, sees and observes. Those who rejoice and delight in others who fall, and stumble bring displeasure to God and God reacts.

Our response as believers should be totally opposite, we seek not to rejoice in our enemies falling and stumbling, rather we pray for them and love them as Christ loved and gave His life that He might redeem them from hell.

Matthew 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

We see the greatest example of that when Jesus prayed for those who slew Him on Calvary’s cross. Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

By the way, that prayer, on the cross, was not for you, it was for those who crucified Him. Jesus prayed for you in John chapter 17:20-21.

Proverbs 24:17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: 18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

Never rejoice in the falling of others and never delight when they stumble. Rather, pray for them.

Do you walk around in bitterness and anger and hatred hoping your enemy will fall and stumble? Do you rejoice when he does? Remember, the Lord is watching.

(As a side note: Warning someone of the consequences of their actions and choices is not rejoicing. Some people think if you rebuke them you are intolerant and hateful. That is not the case, in fact warning others in the very expression of love; for Jesus warned and rebuked His enemies and still prayed they would repent.)

Proverbs 24:15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place: 16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

The wicked, the unsaved and even those professing to be saved, often lay wait for the righteous marking their steps eventually hoping to make spoil of their resting place or of their securities.

The righteous are or should be aware of such practices. King David realized it as read in Psalms 56:6. “They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.”

Psalms 57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.

Jeremiah knew this was taking place. Jeremiah 20:10 For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

Even Jesus had those who marked His steps and sought to find something to accuse Him with.

Luke 20:20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

In our text God warns the wicked about such activities. Proverbs 24:15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place: 16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

David, and Jeremiah, and Daniel, and Jesus and many others stood in righteousness regardless of what the wicked did. Yes, sometimes the righteous fall, but they get back up. Why? They were motivated by righteousness and the righteous, Jesus Christ and God’s wonderful word.

Notice the phrase “but the wicked shall fall into mischief.” I am reminded of those who waited on Daniel and watched him and set him up using his practice of prayer. Read Daniel chapter 6.

Daniel 6:4 Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him. 5 Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.

They succeeded in their effort and eventually had Daniel thrown into a den of lions. God sent an angel and protected Daniel in the den of lions.

The sad part is that those who accused Daniel were caught and they were thrown into the same den of lions.

Daniel 6:22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

I am also reminded of those who deceived Jesus eventually putting Him on the cross of Calvary. While many of those people suffered because they never placed their faith and trust in the Lord, others were eventually saved.

Jesus prayed for those who performed such wickedness. Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do…

In Acts chapter two, three thousand of those dear souls trusted in Jesus.

My believing friend, when the wicked lay wait, just keep on keeping on for Jesus. God will take care for the rest. Maybe someone will see your faithfulness and turn to Jesus.

2Chronicles 16:9a For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.
