πŸ’₯ Scriptures:

Revelation 21: 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be HIS God, and he shall be MY son.

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

***
 
Psalms 97
 
10  Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: HE preserveth the souls of HIS saints; HE delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of HIS holiness. 
 
*** 
 
Psalm 84:11  For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will HE withhold from them that walk uprightly.
 
 ***
 
2 Corinthians 10:17  But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
 
***
 
Galatians 6:14   But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by WHOM the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
 
***
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I (Jesus, the Word) am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
***
 
Acts 2:40  And with many other words did he (Peter) testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
 
untoward:  corrupt, willful, inappropriate, offensive, perverse
 
(PP ... We surely live in an "untoward" generation today.  So important to pray and take action we are shown to "save ourselves" from the evil around us and to allow us to live in peace.  
- This week I unsubscribed to a neighborhood email list because I was becoming stirred up by some of the emails sent about a new, nearby, loud, music venue.    
- I don't watch performances on TV in which the performers dress and act lewdly or offensively in some way.  
- Political ads are increasing as the U.S. election nears and I find many of them trouble me.  I am increasingly watching streaming services that have no, or very few, commercials.
Just a few things I have felt led to do.)

***
 
1 Peter 4:19  Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to HIM in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
 
***
 
2 Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
