Bible Note: Hi Joel, Welcome to the forum. You wrote "Let God work in their lives as He will." I believe that is excellent advice for partsman and for all of us. I appreciated your Scriptures for they led me to reflect again on some comparisons that I had made in years past. They also led me to other comparisons which I would like to share for food for thought. We want to be in God's will and hear and act on His words. 1) Luke 7:46, "And why do you call Me, '(Lord), Lord', and do not do what I say? 47 Everyone who comes to Me, and hears My words, and acts upon them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house..." Matthew 7:20, "So then, you will know them by their fruits. Not everyone who says to Me, '(Lord), Lord', will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven." 2) Matthew 7:24, "Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts upon them, may be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock. And the rain descended....26 And everyone who hears these words of *Mine, and does not act upon them, will be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand. 27 and the rain descended..." 28 The result was that when Jesus had finished these words, the multitudes were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as [one] having authority and not as their scribes." Luke 6:47, "Everyone who comes to Me, and hears My words, and acts upon them, *I will show you whom he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation upon the rock;..." Matthew 6:33, "But seek first His kingdom and *His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow..." Matthew 19:17, "...There is only *One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." Matthew 5:47, "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly *Father is perfect." I like to think that the same Lord God who looks on David in Psalm 35:17 is the Man who turns His gaze on His disciples in Luke 6:20. From the heart, Ray |
