First & Only

“I, I am the Lᴏʀᴅ, and besides me there is no savior.”

My Friend, You Worm

But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham, my friend;… Fear not, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel!

Comparing God

To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? says the Holy One.

Raging Against the Lᴏʀᴅ

“Because you have raged against me and your complacency has come to my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and I will turn you back on the way by which you came.”

No Fear in the Lᴏʀᴅ

‘Thus says the Lᴏʀᴅ: Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the young men of the king of Assyria have reviled me.’

Trust in the Lᴏʀᴅ

‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: On what do you rest this trust of yours? Do you think that mere words are strategy and power for war? In whom do you now trust…?’

Self Made

You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high.’

Full of Glory

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lᴏʀᴅ of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”

Clear Paths

But the Lᴏʀᴅ of hosts is exalted in justice, and the Holy God shows himself holy in righteousness.

Reasonable

“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lᴏʀᴅ: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool…”

Delighted

He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

Fear God

Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. 

Scheming

See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.

Made Beautiful

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart…

Hateful God

There are six things that the Lᴏʀᴅ hates, seven that are an abomination to him…

Guarded

Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.

All-In Trust

Trust in the Lᴏʀᴅ with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and He will make straight your paths.

Avoiding God

…Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lᴏʀᴅ, would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof, therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices.

First Knowledge

The fear of the Lᴏʀᴅ is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Enduring Love

‘… for His steadfast love endures forever, …”

Hypocrisy

But they flattered him with their mouths; they lied to him with their tongues. Their heart was not steadfast toward him; they were not faithful to his covenant.

In Spite of All This

In spite of all this, they still sinned; despite his wonders, they did not believe.

God’s Steadfast Love

Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God, and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.

More than I

“… Lead me to the rock that is higher than I…”

Committed

Commit your way to the Lᴏʀᴅ; trust in him, and He will act.

Living Tight

The friendship of the Lᴏʀᴅ is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant.

His Paths

He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Humility in the Light

“You save a humble people… it is You who light my lamp; the Lᴏʀᴅ my God lightens my darkness.”

Seekers of God

The Lᴏʀᴅ looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.

Set Apart to God

But know that the Lᴏʀᴅ has set apart the godly for himself; the Lᴏʀᴅ hears when I call to him.

Blessed in Delighting

“Blessed is the man who walks… his delight is in the law of the Lᴏʀᴅ…”

Best Shot?

Will you condemn me [GOD] that you may be in the right?

Advisors

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said: “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me.”

Considered

And the Lᴏʀᴅ said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still holds fast

Resolve

“Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.”

Timely Truth

And I told no one what my God had put into my heart to do for Jerusalem.

Pray First

… the King granted me what I asked, for the good hand of my God was upon me.

Humbling

“Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God…”

Joy of the Lᴏʀᴅ

And they kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with joy, for the Lᴏʀᴅ had made them joyful and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, so that he aided them in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

Stirred Up

In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lᴏʀᴅ by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lᴏʀᴅ stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia…

Tender Hearted

“… because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God…”

Straight Up

“… he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD”

Attentive

“The LORD spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they paid no attention.”

All In

“… seeking his God, he did with all his heart, and prospered.”

Be Firm

So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the Lᴏʀᴅ his God.

Arrogance

But when he was strong, he grew proud, to his destruction.

Tell Me Why

“Why have you sought the gods of a people who did not deliver their own people from your hand?”

Ambushed

“… when they began to sing and praise, the Lᴏʀᴅ set an ambush against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah, so that they were routed.”
