Cross Reference - Psalm 139:24 (Part 3)


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

“Perhaps the house of Judah will hear all the calamity which I plan to bring on them, in order that every man will turn from his evil way; then I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.’” Jeremiah 36:3

“O Lord, lead me in Thy righteousness because of my foes; make Thy way straight before me.” Psalm 5:8

“Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God; let Thy good Spirit lead me on level ground” Psalm 143:10

“Thou wilt make known to me the path of life; in Thy presence is fullness of joy; in Thy right hand there are pleasures forever.” Psalm 16:11

“’—and [if] My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways , then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.’” I Chronicles 7:14

I remember a dear friend, Audley McLean, at my home one evening as we discussed ways to explain and dramatise ways to explain salvation to a pre-believer. At one point he got up from his chair and marched purposefully from my living/lounge room into my dining room speaking about repentance. Repentance, he said, was not just saying we repented but that we must turn completely away from the sin that so successfully drew us away from the Father; to consciously choose to walk back to Him.

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