Numbers 23:19- "God is not a man that he should lie, nor a son
of man that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he
promise and not fulfill?"
This verse has spoken to me in so many ways. It
demonstrates the awe inspiring power of God. There is no lie that he has
uttered, no promise left unfilfilled. He is perfect in every way. The Lord is
almighty and he never forgets his faithful servants!
My Favorite Chapter in the Bible
Revelation 4- the throne in heaven
"1 After this I looked and there before me was a door standing open in heaven.
And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up
here and I will show you what must take place after this. 2 At once, I was in the
spirit and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.
3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow
resembling an emerald encirlced the throne. Surrounding the throne were 24
other thrones, and seated on them were 24 elders. 4 They were dressed in white
and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of
lighting, rumblings, and peals of thunder. Before the throne 7 lamps were
blazing. These are the 7 spirits of God. 6 Also, before the throne there was
what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.
In center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered
with eyes, in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the
second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a
flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered
with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop
saying:
"Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty,
who was, and is, and is to come."
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who
sits on the throne, and who lives for ever and ever, 10 the 24 elders fall down
before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever.
They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
11 "You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being."
