Praise the Lord!
How joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight in obeying his commands.
Psalm 112:1
They answered Joshua, "We will do whatever you command us, and we will go wherever you send us. We will obey you just as we obeyed Moses. And may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses.
Joshua 1:16-17
Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example.
Philippians 3:17
When I look at the blood
all I see is love, love, love.
When I stop at the cross
I can see the love of God.
But I can't see competition.
I can't see hierarchy.
I can't see pride or prejudice
or the abuse of authority.
I can't see lust for power.
I can't see manipulation.
I can't see rage or anger
or selfish ambition.
I can't see unforgiveness.
I can't see hate or envy.
I can't see stupid fighting
or bitterness, or jealousy.
I can't see empire building.
I can't see self-importance.
I can't see back-stabbing
or vanity or arrogance.
I see surrender, sacrifice, salvation,
humility, righteousness, faithfulness, grace, forgiveness,
love! Love... love...
When I stop! ... at the cross
I can see the love of God.
