Pointe Aux Barque Lighthouse - "Nothing will Separated Us from the Love of Christ"

 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?  Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?  As it is written:

"For your sake we face death all day long;

we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.  For I am convinced that neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.  And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.  For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lost heart.

LORD, how they have

   increased who trouble

   me!

  Many are they who rise up

   against me,

  Many are they who say of

   me,

"There is no help for him in

    God."

But You, O LORD, are a

   shield for me,

My glory and the One who

   lifts up my head.

I cried to the LORD with my

   voice,

And He heard me from His

   holy hill.

I lay down and slept;

I awoke, for the LORD

   sustained me.

I will not be afraid of ten

   thousands of people

Who have set themselves

   against me all round.

Arise, O LORD;

Save me, O my God!

For You have struck all my

   enemies on the

   cheekbone;

You have broken the teeth

   of the ungodly.

Salvation belongs to the

   LORD.

Your blessing is upon Your

   people.                     Selah

Psalm 3 NKJV

Cumberland Island, Georgia - "Planted by the Rivers of Water"

 

Blessed is the man

Who walks not in the

   counsel of the

   ungodly,

 Nor stands in the path of

   sinners,

  Nor sits in the seat of the

   scornful;

But his delight is in the 

   law of the LORD,

  And in His law he

   mediates day and

   night.

He shall be like a tree

 Planted by the rivers of

   water,

 That bring forth its fruit

   in its season,

 Whose leaf also shall not

  wither;

And whatever he does shall

   prosper.

Psalm 1:1-3 NKJV

Jekyll Island, Georgia - "Blessed are All Those who put their Trust in Him"

Why do the nations rage,

And the people plot a vain 

   thing?

The kings of the earth set 

   themselves,

And the rulers take 

   counsel together,

Against the LORD and 

   against His Anointed,

   saying, 

"Let us break Their bonds

    in pieces

And cast away Their cords 

   from us."

He who sits in the heavens 

   shall laugh;

The LORD shall hold them 

   in derision,

Then He shall speak to

    them in His wrath,

And distress them in His 

   deep displeasure;

"Yet I have set My King 

On My holy hill of Zion."

"I will declare the decree:

The LORD has said to ME, 

You are My Son,

Today I have begotten You.  

Ask of Me, and I will give 

   You 

The nations for Your 

   inheritance,

And the ends of the earth

   for Your possession.

You shall break them with 

   a rod of iron;

You shall dash them in

   pieces like a potter's 

   vessel."

Now therefore, be wise, O

   kings;

Be instructed, you judges of

   the earth.

Serve the LORD with fear,

And rejoice with trembling.

Kiss the Son, lest He be

   angry,

And you perish in the way,

When His wrath is kindled

   but a little.

Blessed are all those who

   put their trust in Him.

Psalm 2 NKJV

 

Paradise, South Island, New Zealand - "He will swallow up death forever"

 And in this mountain
The LORD of hosts will make 

for all people

A feast of choice pieces,
A feast of wines on the lees,
Of fat things full of marrow,
Of well-refined wines on the lees.

And He will destroy on this mountain

The surface of the covering

cast over all people,

And the veil that is spread

over all nations.

He will swallow up death forever,

And the Lord God will wipe

away tears from all faces;

The rebuke of His people

He will take away from all the earth;

For the LORD has spoken.

Isaiah 25:6-8

Chief Joseph Scenic Highway, Wyoming - "Who knows what will happen tomorrow?"

 There is one Lawgiver who is able to save and to destroy.  Who are you to judge another?  

Come now, you who say "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit;'"

Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow.  For what is your life?  It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

Instead you ought to ay, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that."

But now you boat in your arrogance.  All such boasting is evil.

Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to  him it is sin.

James 4:12-17
