Psalm 34:16-22

 Psalm 34:16-22…

I have been thinking about this poem written by Corrie ten Boom…and wanted to share it again…when I look at prayer requests that come my way through various means…there are darks threads and light ones as well…it is sometimes hard to get through the dark ones, they can block the light ones so easily…

Corrie, having gone through the Holocaust, losing dear family, and friends likened our lives to be a tapestry so beautifully…

16. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,to cut off the memory of them from the earth. 

 “If any one of the house of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn among them eats any blood, I will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.

Lev.17.10-11

 For“Whoever desires to love life and see good days,let him keep his tongue from eviland his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good;let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,and his ears are open to their prayer.But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

1Pet.3.10-12

 “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will set my face against you for harm, to cut off all Judah. Jer.44.11

 The memory of the righteous is a blessing,but the name of the wicked will rot.

Prov.10.7

 and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth.To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood

Rev.1.5

17. When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. 

 He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;he also hears their cry and saves them.

Ps.145.19

18. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. 

 The Lord is gracious and merciful,slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

Ps.145.8

 For thus says the One who is high and lifted up,who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:“I dwell in the high and holy place,and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,to revive the spirit of the lowly,and to revive the heart of the contrite.

Isa.57.15

19. Many are the afflictions of the righteous,but the Lord delivers him out of them all. 

 for the righteous falls seven times and rises again,but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.

Prov.24.16

Verses 4,6,17 of this same chapter

20. He keeps all his bones;not one of them is broken.

 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. He who saw it has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—that you also may believe. For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken.” And again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they have pierced.”

John.19.33-37

21. Affliction will slay the wicked,and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. 

 He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness;the Lord our God will wipe them out.

22. The Lord redeems the life of his servants;none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.

 You will increase my greatness and comfort me again.
