Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
Proverbs 16:3 NIV (via saranghay)
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
Romans 7:15-20 (via singinsilence)
Job 37:3-5 and Job 37:13
3. He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth.
4. After that comes the sound of his roar; he thunders with his majestic voice. When his voice resounds, he holds nothing back.
5. God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding.
13. He brings the clouds to punish men, or to water his earth and show his love.
My Response: Thus the reason why I shower myself in his love, and the reason why I find a rainy day a delight in my heart.
Psalm 119:111-112
Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart. My heart is keeping your decrees to the very end.
My life quickly transformed and none saw it more closely than you Lord. You orchestrated every strum of my beating heart and you held me tightly when storms roared across my life. I am not afraid anymore. You have already written my life with the purest of any ink and the strike of any arch and I thank you for sending me everything I needed for a life filled with serenity for I realize that it is giving that I truly desire. I want to be your servant Father. Wherever I go. I’ll peek a glimpse of heaven with your words and bleed your love. I am forever yours.
Hebrews 12:2
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
