...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed.

Their gods and There's God

Psalm 16

Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.-Psalm 16:1-11/the complete psalm***The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the right hand of the Lord God is exalted, and majestic in power, and filled with righteousness. The right hand of the Lord God spread out the heavens, and gained possession of Canaan, the Promised Land, for the Israelites, his treasured and chosen people, and has given the Israelites the victory in the past. From the right hand of the Lord God went forth the law for the Israelites, the Ten Commandments, written upon 2 stone tablets with the finger of God. At his right hand, with saving strength, the Lord God saves and upholds his saints. Eternal delight is in the right hand of the Lord God, and with his right hand the Lord God finds those who hate him and shatters his enemies. Over 1,900 years after Judah was born to Jacob (Israel) and Leah, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Less than 33 1/2 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by many people, and returned to heaven. Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Lord God in heaven, interceding for those who come to the Lord God in the name of Jesus.-Genesis 1:1-5:32, 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Deuteronomy 4:1-5:33, 8:1-10:22, 33:1-34:12, Joshua, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Psalm 16, Psalm 17, Psalm 18, Psalm 20, Psalm 21, Psalm 44, Psalm 45, Psalm 48, Psalm 60, Psalm 63, Psalm 73, Psalm 77, Psalm 78, Psalm 80, Psalm 89, Psalm 98, Psalm 108, Psalm 118, Psalm 138, Psalm 139, Isaiah 41:1-29, 48:1-22, Lamentations 2:1-22, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, Romans 8:1-39, Hebrews 7:1-28
