I am with you always, to the close of the age.
| 1 Corinthians 1: 18 - 25 |
|
| 18 | For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. |
| 19 | For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart.” |
| 20 | Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? |
| 21 | For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. |
| 22 | For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, |
| 23 | but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, |
| 24 | but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. |
| 25 | For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. |
| Psalms 40: 2, 4, 7 - 10 |
|
| 2 | He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. |
| 4 | Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after false gods! |
| 7 | Then I said, “Lo, I come; in the roll of the book it is written of me; |
| 8 | I delight to do thy will, O my God; thy law is within my heart.” |
| 9 | I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; lo, I have not restrained my lips, as thou knowest, O LORD. |
| 10 | I have not hid thy saving help within my heart, I have spoken of thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness from the great congregation. |
| Matthew 28: 16 - 20 |
|
| 16 | Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. |
| 17 | And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted. |
| 18 | And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. |
| 19 | Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, |
| 20 | teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.” |
What, then, does God watch with pleasure and delight? The man that is fighting for Him against riches, against the world, against hell, against himself.
