By Faith

Abel

Enoch

5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God

Abraham

8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 

9 By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.

10 For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. 

12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son,

18 of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 

19 He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back. 

Sarah

11 By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

Isaac

20 By faith Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau. 

Jacob

21 By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff. 

Joseph

22 By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his bones.

Moses

23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 

25 choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 

26 He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. 

27 By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. 

28 By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.

Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets

32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— 

33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 

34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.

                       God wants us to walk in a manner fully pleasing to Him by being spiritually minded. We cannot please God when we are in flesh.

And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased - Hebrews 13:16.

Those who fear Him &  hope in His mercy

The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him, In those who hope in His mercy - Psalm 147:11.

To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly

Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God - Micah 6:7,8.

Praises & thanksgiving

I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. This will please the Lord more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns and hooves - Psalm 69:30,31.

Obeying  parents in everything

Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord - Colossians 3:20.

Serving Christ with righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval - Romans 14:17,18.

Good man

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way - Psalm 37:23.

Words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart

Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you - Jeremiah 29:12.

Peace

Strength

But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint - Isaiah 40:31. 

Healing

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective - James 5:16.

Help

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need - Hebrews 4:16.

Rest

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest - Matthew 11.28.

Good gifts

Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! - Matthew 7:9-11.  

Wisdom

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him - James 1:5. 

Great & mighty things which we do not know

Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know - Jeremiah 33:3.

PRAYER:Dear Lord, We thank You for giving us peace, strength, healing, help, rest, wisdom, good gifts, showing us great and mighty things which we never know and doing great things more than we ask or imagine as we call on You and come and pray to You. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

With A Mighty Hand And Outstretched Arm

With a mighty hand and outstretched arm; His love endures forever - Psalm 136:12.

            God delivered the people of Israelites from Egyptians with His mighty hand and outstretched arm. You have a mighty arm; strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand - Psalm 89:13. As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I will reign over you with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with outpoured wrath. I will bring you from the nations and gather you from the countries where you have been scattered—with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with outpoured wrath - Ezekiel 20:33,34.

With a mighty hand and outstretched arm - God's promise to Israel

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand he will let them go; because of my mighty hand he will drive them out of his country.” God also said to Moses, “I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the Lord I did not make myself fully known to them. I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, where they resided as foreigners. Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant. Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.’” - Exodus 6:1-8.

With a mighty hand and outstretched arm - God's promise fulfilled

Then we cried out to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, and the Lord heard our voice and saw our misery, toil and oppression. So the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror and with signs and wonders. He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey - Deuteronomy 26:7-9.

Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. You show love to thousands but bring the punishment for the parents’ sins into the laps of their children after them. Great and mighty God, whose name is the Lord Almighty, great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind; you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve. You performed signs and wonders in Egypt and have continued them to this day, in Israel and among all mankind, and have gained the renown that is still yours. You brought your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and wonders, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with great terror. You gave them this land you had sworn to give their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey - Jeremiah 32:17-22. 

With a mighty hand and outstretched arm - Driving out the nations

You may say to yourselves, “These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?”  But do not be afraid of them; remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt. You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear. Moreover, the Lord your God will send the hornet among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished. Do not be terrified by them, for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God. The Lord your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you. But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed. He will give their kings into your hand, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you; you will destroy them - Deuteronomy 7:17-24.

Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him - Psalms 98:1.
