2 Peter:3

9. The Lord does not delay his promise, although some consider it slow; But he is patient with us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt on fire, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

12. Waiting for, and hastening, the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens, in fire, will dissolve, and the elements, burning, will melt?

13. But we, according to his promise, look forward to new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

 

The greatest treasure

Proverbs 20:21

Desirable treasure and oil are in the house of the wise, but the foolish man devours them. He who follows justice and benevolence will find life, justice and honor.

Matthew 7:8

For everyone who asks receives; what he seeks, he finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

The greatest wealth we can have in our homes and in our lives is the presence of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. It is greater than any and all treasures, more estimable than the rarest precious stones. God's presence in our lives makes us achieve the unattainable through his grace. He meets all our needs, fills every void. Not because we are worthy of this love and kindness, but because He is the good shepherd and gives his life for his sheep.

John 10:11 I am the good Shepherd; the good Shepherd gives his life for the sheep.

John 6:50:51 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that whoever eats it will not die.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven; if anyone eats this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world

 

Romans 6:16 Don't you know that you become slaves to what you choose to obey? They can be slaves to sin, which leads to death, or they can choose to obey God, which leads to a life of righteousness.

QUOTE FROM THE POST: YOU ARE A SLAVE TO EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO GIVE UP.

 

"If Christ was removed from your heart, not even the entire Universe will be able to fill the void created.” —John Piper

 

In your house the rules are yours, in the Kingdom of God the rules are his. You don't let just anyone in your house, neither does God 🤷‍♀️.

 

6 But he gives us greater grace. That is why the Scripture says: "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." James 4:6📖🙏
