Closer 2 Jesus Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to inform readers of the love message of The Lord Jesus Christ, to cover some Biblical History, and have fun in the process with inspiration on the side.

Bible verses inform, photos inspire, quotes enlighten, and sometimes we add our own ideas and thoughts about a topic. We are not preachers, pastors, or clergy, only people who want to share the Good News of the Gospel and Holy Bible with others.

The video below is from the early 2000's, is blurry from an old school cell phone, but holds the voices of our children. More of a listening instead of a watching video. Our son on stage left and our daughter filming shakily =)

Joshua 1

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

Joshua 1 NIV

1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun

2 Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them the Israelite's

3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses

4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates, all the Hittite country to the Mediterranean Sea in the west

5 No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will never leave you nor forsake you

6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them

7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you, do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go

8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful

9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go

10 So Joshua ordered the officers of the people

11 Go through the camp and tell the people, Get your provisions ready. Three days from now you will cross the Jordan here to go in and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you for your own

12 But to the Reubenite's, the Gadite's and the half tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said, 13 Remember the command that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you after he said, The Lord your God will give you rest by giving you this land

14 Your wives, your children and your livestock may stay in the land that Moses gave you east of the Jordan, but all your fighting men, ready for battle, must cross over ahead of your fellow Israelite's. You are to help them

15 until the Lord gives them rest, as he has done for you, and until they too have taken possession of the land the Lord your God is giving them. After that, you may go back and occupy your own land, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you east of the Jordan toward the sunrise

16 Then they answered Joshua, Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go

17 Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses

18 Whoever rebels against your word and does not obey it, whatever you may command them, will be put to death. Only be strong and courageous

Psalm 27 7-14

Psalm 27 7-14 KJV

7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice. have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8 When thou said, Seek ye my face, my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

9 Hide not thy face far from me, put not thy servant away in anger. thou hast been my help, leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.

11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies. for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

Here Daniel writes of a request concerning himself to the Lord God. Daniel asks God to not forget or  leave him. To continue to guide Daniels ways and teach him God's way.

13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

14 Wait on the Lord. be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart. wait, I say, on the Lord.

Also in Isaiah 40:31 does the Holy Bible speak of waiting on the Lord.
