Let Whoever Is Wise Observe These Things and Consider Adonai's Loving Deeds


To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR

From; GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be with you forever. [John 14:16]

Subject: MY WORD

Hosea 14:1–9 (The Living Bible) 1 O Israel, return to the Lord, your God, for you have been crushed by your sins. 2 Bring your petition. Come to the Lord and say, “O Lord, take away our sins; be gracious to us and receive us, and we will offer you the sacrifice of praise. 3 Assyria cannot save us, nor can our strength in battle; never again will we call the idols we have made ‘our gods’; for in you alone, O Lord, the fatherless find mercy.” 4 “Then I will cure you of idolatry and faithlessness, and my love will know no bounds, for my anger will be forever gone! 5 I will refresh Israel like the dew from heaven; she will blossom as the lily and root deeply in the soil like cedars in Lebanon. 6 Her branches will spread out as beautiful as olive trees, fragrant as the forests of Lebanon. 7 Her people will return from exile far away and rest beneath my shadow. They will be a watered garden and blossom like grapes; they will be as fragrant as the wines of Lebanon. 8 “O Ephraim! Stay away from idols! I am living and strong! I look after you and care for you. I am like an evergreen tree, yielding my fruit to you throughout the year. My mercies never fail.” 9 Whoever is wise, let him understand these things. Whoever is intelligent, let him listen. For the paths of the Lord are true and right, and good men walk along them. But sinners trying them will fail.

Psalm 107:1–43 (CJB) 1 Give thanks to Adonai; for he is good, for his grace continues forever. 2 Let those redeemed by Adonai say it, those he redeemed from the power of the foe. 3 He gathered them from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea. 4 They wandered in the desert, on paths through the wastes, without finding any inhabited city. 5 They were hungry and thirsty, their life was ebbing away. 6 In their trouble they cried to Adonai, and he rescued them from their distress. 7 He led them by a direct path to a city where they could live. 8 Let them give thanks to Adonai for his grace, for his wonders bestowed on humanity! 9 For he has satisfied the hungry, filled the starving with that which is good. 10 Some lived in darkness, in death-dark gloom, bound in misery and iron chains, 11 because they defied God’s word, scorned the counsel of the Most High. 12 So he humbled their hearts by hard labor; when they stumbled, no one came to their aid. 13 In their trouble they cried to Adonai, and he rescued them from their distress. 14 He led them from darkness, from death-dark gloom, shattering their chains. 15 Let them give thanks to Adonai for his grace, for his wonders bestowed on humanity! 16 For he shattered bronze doors and cut through iron bars. 17 There were foolish people who suffered affliction because of their crimes and sins; 18 they couldn’t stand to eat anything; they were near the gates of death. 19 In their trouble they cried to Adonai, and he rescued them from their distress; 20 he sent his word and healed them, he delivered them from destruction. 21 Let them give thanks to Adonai for his grace, for his wonders bestowed on humanity! 22 Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and proclaim his great deeds with songs of joy. 23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, plying their trade on the great ocean, 24 saw the works of Adonai, his wonders in the deep. 25 For at his word the storm-wind arose, lifting up towering waves. 26 The sailors were raised up to the sky, then plunged into the depths. At the danger, their courage failed them, 27 they reeled and staggered like drunk men, and all their skill was swallowed up. 28 In their trouble they cried to Adonai, and he rescued them from their distress. 29 He silenced the storm and stilled its waves, 30 and they rejoiced as the sea grew calm. Then he brought them safely to their desired port. 31 Let them give thanks to Adonai for his grace, for his wonders bestowed on humanity! 32 Let them extol him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the leaders’ council. 33 He turns rivers into desert, flowing springs into thirsty ground, 34 productive land into salt flats, because the people living there are so wicked. 35 But he also turns desert into pools of water, dry land into flowing springs; 36 there he gives the hungry a home, and they build a city to live in; 37 there they sow fields and plant vineyards, which yield an abundant harvest. 38 He blesses them, their numbers grow, and he doesn’t let their livestock decrease. 39 When their numbers fall, and they grow weak, because of oppression, disaster and sorrow, 40 he pours contempt on princes and leaves them to wander in trackless wastes. 41 But the needy he raises up from their distress and increases their families like sheep. 42 When the upright see this, they rejoice; while the wicked are reduced to silence. 43 Let whoever is wise observe these things and consider Adonai’s loving deeds.

[Please Note:  Always Read the Word of God in Context, reading the entire chapter or book, asking the Holy Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation.   2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams)   16  For it was not mere stories of fancy that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed.  Please pay attention to this message as to a lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above all else, that no prophecy in Scripture is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.]
