Leviticus 19:3: “Each of you must respect your mother and father, and you must observe my Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.” Leviticus 26:42: “Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.”
Psalms 100:4, “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise.” The word in Hebrew for gates is sh’ar. When we hear the word gate we automatically think of a doorway that we pass through. Actually this word
Deuteronomy 8:6:“Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord they God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.” I John 4:18: “There is no fear in love; but completed love casteth out fear: Because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” I believe I
Genesis 21:9, 12: “And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. (12) And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for

Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?” The word used here for deceitful is very curious. It is the ‘aqov. It comes from the same root where we get the word Jacob which means to grab by the heel. It is from this story of
Psalm 38:1, “A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.” It seems like David really crossed the line this time, now he is really frightened that God is going to burn with His wrath and really whip him this
Matthew 6:19-21, “ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there
Amos 8:11: “Behold the days are coming, saith the Lord that I will bring a famine in the land, not a famine of bread or a thirst for water but of hearing the words of the Lord.” “Water water everywhere and all the boards did shrink Water water everywhere and not a drop to
