2 CORINTHIANS 4:7,9,10,18 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
LIFE’S SETTING SUN
I’m a mess this day as you can see
And I don’t know what is happening to me
For I know that there is no reason to feel
This loneliness, for thou art with me still
But I do Lord, I am so sorry Lord, but I do
And I believe that on this earth you did too
It was not that the Father had left you alone
Our human race failed to make you feel at home
We often think of self rather than one another
Forgetting our brother, sister, father and mother
For the cares of this world and such as the like
Till life fades like the setting sun into the night
And oh, how miserable art we of all man kind
Failing to comprehend where to draw the line
Between our want to have to and need to do
By slighting one another Lord, we’ve slighted you
Help us understand how much we each need
To be a part of each other’s life’s consistently
Not just on special occasions, not once in a while
But all the days of our life throughout life’s miles

2 THESSALONIANS 2:1-7 1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
HEBREWS 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
ISAIAH 51:10 Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
1 THESSALONIANS 5:2-3 1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
PSALMS 96:2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
REVELATION 7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
PHILIPPIANS 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
ROMANS 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
