The High Heaven

The high heaven covereth as well tall mountains as small mole hills, and mercy can cover all. The more desperate thy disease, the greater is the glory of thy physician, who hath perfectly cured thee.

[Abraham Wright]




Jeremiah 17:14 ... Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.


Psalm 103:11 ... For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.


Isaiah 49:13 ... Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.

Strength

I am mended by my sickness, enriched by my poverty, and strengthened by my weakness.

[Abraham Wright]




1 Corinthians 4:10 ... We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.


Jeremiah 17:14 ... Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.


2 Corinthians 12:10 ... Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

All Our Tears

God keeps all our tears in a bottle; so precious is the water that is distilled from penitent eyes; and because he will be sure not to fail, he notes how many drops there be in his register. It was a precious ointment wherewith the woman in the Pharisee's house anointed the feet of Christ; but her tears, wherewith she washed them, were more worth than her spikenard. 
 
[Abraham Wright]










Luke 7:44 … And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.


Psalm 56:8 … Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

Psalm 126:5 … They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. ❤

House of God

Saints are planted in the house of God; they have a kind of rooting there: but though the tabernacle be a good rooting place, yet we cannot root firmly there, unless we are rooted in Jesus Christ.


[Abraham Wright]




Ephesians 3:17-19 ... That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,  May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;  And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.


Colossians 2:7 ... Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.


Psalm 92:13 … Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.


Revelation 22:16 ...  I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
