“Is anything too hard for the LORD?”

Genesis 18:14

“Sing joyfully to the Lord, 

all you lands; 

serve the Lord with gladness; 

come before him with joyful song… 

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, 

his courts with praise; 

Give thanks to him; 

bless his name, 

for he is good.” 

Psalm 100:1-2, 4

For our present troubles are small

and won’t last very long.

Yet they produce for us a glory

that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!

So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now;

rather, we fix our gaze on things

that cannot be seen.

For the things we see now will soon be gone,

but the things we cannot see will last forever.

2 Corinthians  4:17-18

…To everyone who is victorious I will give some of the manna that has been hidden away in heaven. And I will give to each one a white stone, and on the stone will be engraved a new name that no one understands except the one who receives it. Revelation 2:17 

Scripture tells us that God knew us when He formed us in our mother’s wombs. And if He named the stars when he formed them, which the Bible says He did, then you have to know that He also named us when He formed us. And if we go to heaven, He’s going to tell us our real name written on that white stone and only He and we will know it. But if we choose to spend eternity in hell, by never asking Jesus to be our personal Savior, we will never know our real name.

“I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’

Serve me faithfully

and lead a blameless life.

Genesis 17:1

“You are the God who sees me.”

Genesis 16:13

And Abram believed the LORD,

and the LORD counted him as righteous

because of his faith.

Genesis 15:6

Then Noah built an altar to the LORD…

And the LORD was pleased…

“I will never again curse the ground

because of the human race,

even though everything they think or imagine

is bent toward evil from childhood.

I will never again destroy all living things.

As long as the earth remains,

there will be planting and harvest,

cold and heat,

summer and winter,

day and night.

Genesis 8:20-22

What this means is

that those who become Christians 

become new persons.

They are not the same anymore,

for the old life is gone.

A new life has begun!

2 Corinthians 5:17

…on the seventeenth day of the second month,

all the underground waters erupted from the earth,

and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky.

That very day Noah had gone into the boat

with his wife and his sons—

and their wives.

With them in the boat were pairs

of every kind of animal…

A male and a female of each kind entered,

just as God had commanded Noah.

Then the LORD closed the door behind them.

Genesis 7:11, 13, 14, 16
