I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” (Gen. 12:1,2) “Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written, ‘The deliverer will come from Zion, He will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” (Rom. 11:25-27)

210. God is Active in Nature – I praise you Lord for being actively involved with all aspects of nature. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Gen 1:1) “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world and all who live in it. For He founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.” (Psa. 24:1,2)

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matt. 16:16) Paul wrote, “For they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God.” (I Thes. 1:9)

(Deut. 4:7) “Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up His soul to an idol or swear by what is false.” (Psa. 24:3) “One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple.” (Psa. 27:4) “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him.” (Psa. 34:8) “Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God.” (Matt. 5:8) “Come near to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” (James 4:8)
