Word for the Weekend - Jeremiah 29

"For I know the plans I have for you, delclares the Lord,

Plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

plans to give you hope and a future.

Then you will call upon me and

and come and pray to me,

and I will listen to you.

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

I will be found by you, declares the Lord."

Jeremiah 29 : 11 - 14a NIV

"And God said,
This is the sign of the covenant I am making
between me and you and every living creature with you,
a covenant for all generations to come:

I have set my rainbow in the clouds,
and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
I will remember my covenant between me and you
and all living creature of every kind.

Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds,
I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant
between God and all living creatures
of every kind on the earth."

and his righteousness endures forever.

The works of His hands are faithful and just;
all His precepts are trustworthy.
They are steadfast for ever and ever,
done in faithfulness and uprightness."

Word for the Weekend - Psalm 24

"The earth is the Lord's and al it contains,
The world and those who dwell in it
For He has founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the rivers.

Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
And who may stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood
And has not sworn deceitfully.

He shall receive a blessing from the Lord
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

love and faithfulness go before you.
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord.

They rejoice in your name all day long;
they exult in your righteousness.
For you are their glory and strength,
and by your favor you exalt our horn.
Indeed, our shield belongs to the Lord,our King,
to the Holy One of Israel."

then I will keep them to the end.

Give me understanding, and I will keep your law

and obey it with all my heart,

Direct me in the path of your commands, 

for there I find delight.

Turn my heart toward your statutes

and not toward selfish gain.

Turn my eyes away from worthless things:

preserve my life according to your word.

Fullfill your promise to your servant

Take away the disgrace I dread,

for your laws are good.

How I long for your precepts!

Preserve my life in your righteousness."

no good thing does he withhold

from those whose walk is blameless.

O Lord Almighty,

blessed is the man who trusts in You."

the Holy One of Israel, your Savior."
