Meditate on this...

"He (God) stretches out the north over empty space and
hangs the earth on nothing." Job 26:7 (parenthesis added)

The heart of the gospel...

"I have found, my brethren, by long experience
that nothing touches the heart like the cross of Christ.
When the heart is touched and wounded by the two-edged
sword of the Law, nothing heals its wounds like the
balm that flows from the pierced heart of Jesus."
Something to meditate on for the rest of our earthly lives

"Labour to obtain such a disposition of mind that you may choose heaven
for your inheritance and home; and may earnestly long for it, and be
willing to change this world, and all its enjoyments, for heaven.
Labor to have your heart taken up so much about heaven, and heavenly
enjoyments, as that you may rejoice when God calls you to leave your best
earthly friends and comforts for heaven, there to enjoy God and Christ."
The Christian Pilgrim, Jonathan Edwards, Sept 1733
Hope
My soul, wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
On God my salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
Trust in Him at all times,
O people; Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Psalm 62:5-8
WOW
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Psalm 19:1




A good quote to think about...
“As a believer’s life is very different from an unbeliever’s life, so also a believer’s death is very different from an unbeliever’s death. The unbeliever prefers Heaven over Hell;
the believer prefers Heaven over this earth.The unbeliever prefers Heaven only over Hell because
he cannot imagine anything moreblessed than this life. The believer prefers Heaven over earth, because the believer cannot imagine anything
more blessed than life with God.”
