It is Good to Praise the Lord - Psalm 92

Psalm 92 A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day. 1 It is good to praise the Lord     and make music to your name, O Most High, 2 proclaiming your love in the morning     and your faithfulness at night, 3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre     and the melody of the harp. 4 For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord;     I sing for joy at what your hands have done. 5 How great are your works, Lord,     how profound your thoughts! 6 Senseless people do not know,     fools do not understand, 7 that though the wicked spring up like grass     and all evildoers flourish,     they will be destroyed forever. 8 But you, Lord, are forever exalted. 9 For surely your enemies, Lord,     surely your enemies will perish;     all evildoers will be scattered. 10 You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;     fine oils have been poured on me. 11 My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;     my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes. 12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,     they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; 13 planted in the house of the Lord,     they will flourish in the courts of our God. 14 They will still bear fruit in old age,     they will stay fresh and green, 15 proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;     he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”

How Lovely is Your Dwelling Place - Psalm 84

Psalm 84 1 How lovely is your dwelling place,     Lord Almighty! 2 My soul yearns, even faints,     for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out     for the living God. 3 Even the sparrow has found a home,     and the swallow a nest for herself,     where she may have her young— a place near your altar,     Lord Almighty, my King and my God. 4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;     they are ever praising you. 5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,     whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. 6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka,     they make it a place of springs;     the autumn rains also cover it with pools. 7 They go from strength to strength,     till each appears before God in Zion. 8 Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty;     listen to me, God of Jacob. 9 Look on our shield, O God;     look with favor on your anointed one. 10 Better is one day in your courts     than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God     than dwell in the tents of the wicked. 11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;     the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold     from those whose walk is blameless. 12 Lord Almighty,     blessed is the one who trusts in you.

Seeking the I AM - the Vine

John 15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.  If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.  You are my friends if you do what I command.  I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other. Psalm 80 7 Restore us, God Almighty;     make your face shine on us,     that we may be saved. 8 You transplanted a vine from Egypt;     you drove out the nations and planted it. 9 You cleared the ground for it,     and it took root and filled the land. 10 The mountains were covered with its shade,     the mighty cedars with its branches. 11 Its branches reached as far as the Sea,     its shoots as far as the River. 12 Why have you broken down its walls     so that all who pass by pick its grapes? 13 Boars from the forest ravage it,     and insects from the fields feed on it. 14 Return to us, God Almighty!     Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine, 15     the root your right hand has planted,     the son you have raised up for yourself. 16 Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire;     at your rebuke your people perish. 17 Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand,     the son of man you have raised up for yourself. 18 Then we will not turn away from you;     revive us, and we will call on your name. 19 Restore us, Lord God Almighty;     make your face shine on us,     that we may be saved.

Seeking the I AM - the Way, the Truth, and the Life

Psalm 24 1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,     the world, and all who live in it; 2 for he founded it on the seas     and established it on the waters. 3 Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?     Who may stand in his holy place? 4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,     who does not trust in an idol     or swear by a false god. 5 They will receive blessing from the Lord     and vindication from God their Savior. 6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,     who seek your face, God of Jacob. JOHN 14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” PSALM 16:11You make known to me the path of life;     you will fill me with joy in your presence,     with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Seeking the I AM - the Good Shepherd in John 10

John 10:11-18 11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” Luke 15:4-7Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
