GRACE UPON GRACE

ISAIAH 50:4-11 THE LORD GOD HATH GIVEN ME THE TONGUE OF THE LEARNED, THAT I SHOULD KNOW HOW TO SPEAK A WORD IN SEASON TO HIM THAT IS WEARY: HE WAKENETH MORNING BY MORNING, HE WAKENETH MINE EAR TO HEAR AS THE LEARNED. THE LORD GOD HATH OPENED MINE EAR, AND I WAS NOT REBELLIOUS, NEITHER TURNED AWAY BACK. I GAVE MY BACK TO THE SMITERS, AND MY CHEEKS TO THEM THAT PLUCKED OFF THE HAIR: I HID NOT MY FACE FROM SHAME AND SPITTING. FOR THE LORD GOD WILL HELP ME; THEREFORE SHALL I NOT BE CONFOUNDED: THEREFORE HAVE I SET MY FACE LIKE A FLINT, AND I KNOW THAT I SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED. HE IS NEAR THAT JUSTIFIETH ME; WHO WILL CONTEND WITH ME? LET US STAND TOGETHER: WHO IS MINE ADVERSARY? LET HIM COME NEAR ME. BEHOLD THE LORD GOD WILL HELP ME; WHO IS HE THAT SHALL CONDEMN ME? LO, THEY ALL SHALL WAX OLD AS A GARMENT; THE MOTH  SHALL EAT THEM UP. WHO IS AMONG YOU  THAT FEARETH THE LORD,  THAT OBEYETH  THE VOICE OF HIS SERVANT,  THAT  WALKETH IN DARKN...

ISAIAH 14:5-6 THE LORD  HATH BROKEN  THE STAFF OF THE WICKED,  AND  THE SCEPTRE OF THE RULERS.  HE WHO SMOTE  THE PEOPLE IN WRATH  WITH  A CONTINUAL STROKE,  HE THAT RULETH  THE NATIONS IN ANGER,  IS  PERSECUTED,  AND  NONE HINDERTH. THE WHOLE  EARTH  IS AT REST,  AND  IS QUIET:  THEY BREAK FORTH  INTO SINGING.  YEA,  THE FIR TREES  REJOICE AT THEE,  AND  THE CEDARS OF LEBANON,  SAYING,  SINCE  THOU ART LAID  DOWN,  NO FELLER  IS COME UP  AGAINST ME.   LOVE

LAMENTATIONS 2:16-17 THY PROPHETS HAVE SEEN VAIN AND FOOLISH THINGS FOR THEE: AND THEY HAVE NOT DISCOVERED THINE INIQUITY, TO TURN AWAY THY CAPTIVITY; BUT HAVE SEEN FOR THEE FALSE BURDENS AND CAUSE OF BANISHMENT. ALL THAT PASS BY CLAP THEIR HANDS AT THEE; THEY HISS AND WAG THEIR HEAD AT THE DAUGHTER OF JERUSALEM, SAYING, IS THIS THE CITY THAT MEN CALL THE PERFECTION OF BEAUTY, THE JOY OF THE WHOLE EARTH? ALL THINE ENEMIES HAVE OPENED THEIR MOUTH AGAINST THEE: THEY HISS AND GNASH THE TEETH: THEY SAY, WE HAVE SWALLOWED HER UP: CERTAINLY THIS IS THE DAY THAT WE LOOKED FOR; WE HAVE FOUND, WE HAVE SEEN IT. THE LORD HATH DONE THAT WHICH HE HAD DEVISED; HE HATH FULFILLED HIS WORD THAT HE HAD COMMANDED IN THE DAYS OF OLD: HE HATH THROWN DOWN, AND HATH NOT PITIED: AND HE HATH CAUSED THINE ENEMY TO REJOICE OVER THEE, HE HATH SET UP THE HORN OF THINE ADVERSARIES.       LOVE

FATHER, I AM HUNGRY AND I AM THIRSTY. ALL POWER IS IN HIS HANDS. GIVE ME THE BREAD OF LIFE AND  THE LIVING WATER. GIVE ME JESUS. LOVE

LUKE 17:32-37 REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE.  WHOSOEVER  SHALL  SEEK TO SAVE  HIS  LIFE SHALL LOSE IT;  AND  WHOSOEVER SHALL  LOSE HIS LIFE SHALL  PRESERVE IT. I TELL YOU,  IN  THAT NIGHT  THERE SHALL BE  TWO MEN IN ONE BED;  THE ONE SHALL BE TAKEN,  AND  THE OTHER SHALL BE LEFT.   TWO WOMEN  SHALL BE GRINDING  TOGETHER;  THE ONE SHALL BE TAKEN,  AND  THE OTHER LEFT.   LOVE
