a sometimes uncomfortable love

Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.  Galatians 6:2 NLT

delight in you

  "The LORD your God will delight in you if you obey his voice and keep the commands and decrees written in this Book of Instruction, and if you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and soul."  Deuteronomy 30:10 NLT

his words were mine…

"The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me; his word was on my tongue. The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel said to me: 'When one rules over men in righteousness, when he rules in the fear of God, he is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightness after rain that brings the grass from the earth.'   2 Samuel 23:2-4 (NIV)

slaying the giants

Then the Philistine said, “I defy Israel’s troops this day! Give me a man so we can fight each other!”  When Saul and all the Israelites heard these words of the Philistine, they were upset and very afraid. 1 Samuel 17:10-11 (NET) Attune your ears to my words. Now is not the time to listen to the taunt of the enemy.  His boasting will certainly come to a sure end. Look beyond what seem to be giants on the horizon and see with new eyes. Look to him who died for you. His stripes continue to bring healing. His eyes continue to give guidance to those who look to him. Learn his ways. Do not draw attention to yourself, forsake idol words, but be found moving in what I show you, else you will fall. I will open your eyes and show you what you need to see. As you face the giants I will guide you, if you learn to listen in confidence. I will provide opportunities for you to grow in my ways. Be not afraid, but walk with me. I will direct you in slaying the giants. David went on to

by your words

I tell you that on the day of judgment, people will give an account for every worthless word they speak. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matthew 12:36-37 (NET)
