Cross Reference - Psalm 139:24 (Part 1)

“And see if there be any hurtful way (way of pain) in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.”

“The Lord protects the strangers; He supports the fatherless; and the widow; but He thwarts the way of the wicked.” Psalm 146:9

“The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway.” Proverbs 15:9

“He who leads the upright astray in an evil way will himself fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit good.” Proverbs 28:10

"But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:21-23

It would seem that one of the biggest lies that Satan has convinced the world about is that God works on, what the business world calls KPI (key performance indicators) or school grades. That all you have to do is study more, try harder, give more, serve more, be with His people more, etc. – that somehow there is a line in the sand of “behaviour or performance” that once you cross it (and stay on the right side of it), you’re home to Heaven free. No lie is more dangerous or more incorrect in our Father’s eyes.

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
