Every Word – For His Sake

Success can be failure. “He said, ‘This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.’” – Luke 12:18 KJV

It got a little exciting. “Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” – Luke 21:36 NKJV

I know. Unfathomable… “Oh, that you had heeded my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.” – Isaiah 48:18 NKJV

Fear is never the best motivator. “But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’” – Luke 12:20 NKJV

Nothing much has changed. “‘Then say, “Shibboleth”!’ And he would say, ‘Sibboleth,’ for he could not pronounce it right. Then they would take him and kill him at the fords of the Jordan. There fell at that time forty-two thousand Ephraimites.” – Judges 12:6 NKJV
