let us run with patience..(Heb 12:1).. Patience that can run..to lie down in the time of grief, to be quiet under the stroke of adverse fortune, implies a great strength; but I know of something that implies a greater strength still: It is the power to work under a stroke, to have a great weight at your heart and still run; to have a deep anguish in your spirit and still perform the daily task. It is a Christlike thing..My patience will be perfect when it can WORK in the vineyard. (George Matheson)

Why is it that concerning the Bible, Where God Speaks the Least, Men Shout the Loudest? Many issues of contention, have either few or no references in scripture, maybe we should learn to be quiet where God is silent.

"A world of nice people, content in their own niceness, looking no further, turned away from God, would be just as desperately in need of salvation as a miserable world---and might be even more difficult to save." - C.S. Lewis

In living a Biblical balance, you don't compromise two truths and meet in the middle; you combine those two. It's not drawing 50% from each; it's combining 100% of both. Scriptural conclusions require scriptural comparisons. Scripture interprets scripture.

Judge not that ye be not judged-Matt 7:1........

Psalm 103:11
"For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him."
 
Did you know that the nearest star (besides our own sun) is 4.2 light years away. A light year is measured by the speed of light (136,000 miles per second) X the seconds in an hour (3,600) X the hours in a day (24) X the days in a year (365). Therefore if you traveled at the speed of light fo...r every second of every hour of every day for 4.2 years you would arrive at the nearest star (Proxima Centauri). And yet the nearest galaxy to our own is 2,200,000 light years away. Scientist estimate that there are 8,479 galaxies in observable space as far away as several billion light years away! They have concluded that there is no way of estimating the number of galaxies outside of observable space. This is the only the measure of the 2nd heaven that illustrates for us what a great mountain of mercy we possess which is as the heaven is high above the earth!!

A little girl wanted to know what the United States looked like. Her Dad tore a map of the USA from a magazine and then cut it into small pieces. He told her to go to her room to see if she could put it together. After some minutes she returned and handed the map correctly fitted and taped together. The Dad was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. She said, "On the other side was a picture of Jesus and when I put him back then our country just came together.

“Look and learn: Dogs teach us unconditional love, ants teach us good work ethics, birds teach us to trust God for our needs, and eagles teach us to soar above our problems.”

Proverb 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

If the name of our Lord is such a strong tower it gives us safety, how much stronger is His Word! Runneth into it!

‎"Forgiveness is not optional if we want to be in a relationship with God; it is a required act of obedience. When we forgive, we demonstrate our own redemption from sin. Forgiveness brings healing. Forgiveness loosens the hold the past has on our lives."
Kay Arthur
