'Why the Holy Bible is So-o-o-o Very Important, Less Anyone Be Deceived - Bi-Monthly On-Going Devotions, Post A10, August 2, 2020

Of note, my friends.  All you who are 'branches on the 'Vine'. [John 15]audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html
Take another look here, today.
​
This year, in some of the different rooms, before moving on to another 'devotion' text in the next month we will post the same 'devotion' excerpts for the entire respective 'month'.  This shall be so that we are 'slowly, devotionally, meditatively' 'tasting and knowing that the Lord is good'. 

[For additional see Psalm 34:8; Matthew 10:19-20; Mark 13:11; Luke 12:12; John 14:26; James 1:19-27; 1 John 2:27]
[audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html ​] ​​​

However, here in the 'Sanctuary' Room, on a bi-monthly basis, we will post a new devotion each time. [Except for this one again, from July 19, 2020] So, continue to take your time. Be blessed and enjoy each time in the Presence of the Lord, as you meditatively 'linger' to hear Him speak to you, by the power of the Holy Spirit, through His Word, for your guidance and obedience.  After all, 'faith is the only thing which pleases God'; and, 'faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word'. [Romans 10:17; Ephesians 2:8-9; James 1:19-27] 

'Faith', 'true, biblical faith', is small or non-existing, unless it is based upon the 'word explained by the Holy Spirit, that does not contradict God'. [John 16:13]  BE NOT DECEIVED!   Amen. Amen.

“I will be their God.”  [July 19, 2020]
Jeremiah 31:33 audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html ​

'Christian! here is all thou canst require. To make thee happy thou wantest something that shall satisfy thee; and is not this enough? If thou canst pour this promise into thy cup, wilt thou not say, with David, “My cup runneth over, [Psalm 23:5]; I have more than heart can wish”? When this is fulfilled, “I am thy God”, art thou not possessor of all things?' audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html ​
[Genesis 17:1; 26:24; 28:13; 31:13; 35:11; 46:3; Exodus 3:6,14; 20:2-6; Psalm 46:9-11; Isaiah 41:10,13; 48:12; Jeremiah 32:27; Acts 7:32 ]audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html ​​

'Desire is insatiable as death, but he who filleth all in all can fill it. The capacity of our wishes who can measure? But the immeasurable wealth of God can more than overflow it. I ask thee if thou art not complete when God is thine? Dost thou want anything but God? Is not his all-sufficiency enough to satisfy thee if all else should fail?'  [Be sure to examine yourself with such questions. 2 Corinthians 13:5]

'But thou wantest more than quiet satisfaction; thou desirest rapturous delight. Come, soul, here is music fit for heaven in this thy portion, for God is the Maker of Heaven. Not all the music blown from sweet instruments, or drawn from living strings, can yield such melody as this sweet promise, “I will be their God.” Here is a deep sea of bliss, a shoreless ocean of delight; come, bathe thy spirit in it; swim an age, and thou shalt find no shore; dive throughout eternity, and thou shalt find no bottom. “I will be their God.”​

​'If this do not make thine eyes sparkle, and thy heart beat high with bliss, then assuredly thy soul is not in a healthy state. But thou wantest more than present delights—thou cravest something concerning which thou mayest exercise hope; and what more canst thou hope for than the fulfilment of this great promise, “I will be their God”?'  [In the future, watch for a 'series' on - 'Biblical Hope'. SMQ]

'This is the masterpiece of all the promises; its enjoyment makes a heaven below, and will make a heaven above. Dwell in the light of thy Lord, and let thy soul be always ravished with his love. Get out the marrow and fatness which this portion yields thee. Live up to thy privileges, and rejoice with unspeakable joy.'  Amen.  Amen. 

Post - July 19, AND  for 'continual rapture' and 'boundless hope', [1 Corinthians 13:13] posted again for August 2, 2020!! audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html ​Amen. Amen. [SMQ]
