ISAIAH  55 : 8 - 11

8  “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.

9  “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

So are My ways higher than your ways

And My thoughts than your thoughts.

10  “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,

And do not return there without watering the earth

And making it produce and sprout,

And providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

11  So will My word be which goes out of My mouth;

It will not return to Me empty,

Without accomplishing what I desire,

And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it. "

 At this time , we are going to focus on Scriptures that have the number eight in them. This is one method that you can use to help you remember certain verses or topics that are related. As of this writing , it is the month of August , which is the eighth month of the year. With the various items that will be brought up , this post can be enjoyed any time of the year , so enjoy !  😊

 Mankind has decided , in different cultures , to assign natural elements to represent certain things , however we must keep a few things in mind . The God of Genesis - the God of the Bible - created all of the seen and unseen things , and of all that He has created , we are to never look at any created thing as something to worship , pray to , or hold any suspicions about.And we are not to look to any created thing to be any so-called guide. To those who belong to God , the only guide we are to put our trust in is God , our Counselor - period.

Unfortunately , people have a tendency to want to believe in the potential for good outcomes as they develop their connections to the natural part of creation . Some even hold to the belief that certain numbers can bring about good luck , or even bad luck , depending on such things as a calendar date or the outcome of certain events .  

God never intended for people to have their lives guided by nature or by any number system . However , God did fully intend for humanity to know Him thoroughly , in the fullness of truth , through His Spirit and His Written Word. This is possible for you , so let's explore leaving the worthless behind , and pursue the God who knows and loves you !

PSALM 62

5  " For God alone my soul waits in silence and quietly submits to Him,

For my hope is from Him.

6  He only is my rock and my salvation;

My fortress and my defense, I will not be shaken or discouraged.

7  On God my salvation and my glory rest;

He is my rock of [unyielding] strength, my refuge is in God.

8  Trust [confidently] in Him at all times, O people;

Pour out your heart before Him.

God is a refuge for us. Selah."

,,,

 11  " God has spoken once,

Twice I have heard this:

That power belongs to God.

12  Also to You, O Lord, belong lovingkindness and compassion,

For You compensate every man according to [the value of] his work."

_____________________

I would like to draw your attention to the last verse :

12 " . . .  For You compensate every man according to [the value of] his work."

When every person is brought before the Lord , He will be examining each life to see if that person valued Him as their God , Savior , Guide , Counselor , Provider , Helper etc , or if that person chose the worthless and the non-eternal , and maybe even the wicked , to see them through this lifetime.

The Book of Revelation has a very blunt section in it where the sins of mankind

have become so dark and unrelenting that judgment will befall those who chose to

live contrary to God . Here's the verse :

REVELATION 9

20 " The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent even then of the works of their hands, so as to cease worshiping and paying homage to the demons and the idols of gold and of silver and of bronze and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk;  

21and they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries (drugs, intoxications) nor of their [sexual] immorality nor of their thefts."

ROMANS  8

🔗    biblehub.com/amp/romans/8.htm    🔗

The ENTIRE eighth chapter of Romans is a great place to start reading , then you can get the truth into your heart and see if you need to make Jesus your Savior ; or if He is your Savior , are you living a life that is demonstrating the daily abiding in the Spirit of Christ and bearing the fruits thereof ?

ROMANS 8

 9 " However, you are not [living] in the flesh [controlled by the sinful nature] but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God lives in you [directing and guiding you]. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him [and is not a child of God].  

10 If Christ lives in you, though your [natural] body is dead because of sin, your spirit is alive because of righteousness [which He provides].  

11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you."

.............

28  " And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. "

...........

Pray for the God of life , truth and faith to help you to 

 draw nearer to Him , day by day.
