Scripture readings from the living Bible

Scripture reading of the day Psalm 11
how dare you tell me, “flee to the mountains for safety,” when I am trusting in the Lord?
For the wicked have strong their bows, drawn the arrows tight against the bow strings, and aimed from ambush at the people of God.
“Law and order have collapsed,” we are told “what can the righteous do but flee?”
But the Lord is still in his heavenly temple; he still rules from heaven. He closely watches everything that happens here in Earth. He puts the righteous and the wicked to the test; he hates those loving violence. He will rain down fire and brimstone on the wicked and scorch them with his burning wind.
For God is good, and he loves goodness; the godly shall see his face.
Sam’s response
so many TV shows, and so much focus today is placed upon the outward appearance of how we look. Fancy clothes, cool cars, white teeth, expensive sunglasses, being super thin, and more, are all focused around the outward appearance of who we are.
But that is not what God looks at when he looks at you and I. We should be much more concerned about our heart then how we look. What is going on inside of us is going to be the reflection of what is going on outside of us.
There is nothing more beautiful than righteousness!
One of the killers of righteousness is condemnation. Condemnation will steal your joy and make you question your righteousness. If the Bible is the plumbline of your life, then you must understand that there is no condemnation in Christ. The Bible says it therefore it is.
Striving to be more like Christ is God’s desire for you and I. If that’s the case, we must also strive to believe what the Bible says and walk it out in our life. When we face difficult situations and we do not have the answers, we can always look to the holy Bible and to the word of God to help us with any difficulty that we face.
When we are trusting God there’s no reason to flee to the mountain.


with God’s command of shall and will. All of us have weaknesses that can only be perfected through Christ.
Matthew 5:9 happy are those who strive for peace — they shall be called the sons of God.
