Pro. 15:29; 8:17 The LORD is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.  [He] love[s] those who love [Him], and those who seek [Him] diligently will find [Him]. If you ever have tried to have a conversation with someone who has nothing to say, or if you have been the…

1 Pet. 1:22-2:3 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because “All flesh is as…

Psa. 98:5-9 Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody! With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord! Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who dwell in it! Let the rivers…

Psa. 94:12-15 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O Lord, and whom you teach out of your law, to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked. For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage; for justice will return to the…

Psa. 112:5-7 It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice. For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever. He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord. His lack of wisdom manifest itself in just about…

Psa. 37:29-31 The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell upon it forever. The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice. The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slip. They had been great friends for many years, but a minor property dispute would threaten to…

There are many themes in the Psalms, and a very clear one is the idea of God’s justice.  David not only contends for it for himself and his people, but he also seeks to walk in that same justice himself.  These are prayers which should be on our hearts as well, but the first step…

Phil. 4:10-13 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to…
