For the Lord is good, For His mercy endures forever

..... ”Another class of persons were brethren in business, who suffered in their souls, and brought guilt on their consciences, by carrying on their business, almost in the same way, as unconverted persons do. The competition in trade, the bad times, the over-peopled country, were given as reasons why, If the business were carried on simply according to the word of God, it could not be expected to do well. Such a brother, perhaps, would express the wish, that he might be differently situated; but very rarely did I see, that there was a stand made for God, that there was the holy determination to trust in the living God, and to depend on Him, in order that a good conscience might be maintained. To this class likewise I desired to show, by a visible proof, that God is unchangeably the same….. George Müller

Jeremiah 33(NKJV)Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 2 “Thus says the Lord who made it, the Lord who formed it to establish it (the Lord is His name): 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’
4 “For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah, which have been pulled down to fortify against the siege mounds and the sword: 5 ‘They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but only to fill their places with the dead bodies of men whom I will slay in My anger and My fury, all for whose wickedness I have hidden My face from this city. 6 Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth. 7 And I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return, and will rebuild those places as at the first. 8 I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me. 9 Then it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.’ 10 “Thus says the Lord: ‘Again there shall be heard in this place—of which you say, “It is desolate, without man and without beast”—in the cities of Judah, in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast, 11 the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say:
“Praise the Lord of hosts, For the Lord is good, For His mercy endures forever”


As Paul prayed for the Colossians 1:9-15 (AMP) ... I ask that I may be filled with the full (deep and clear) knowledge of YOUR will in all spiritual wisdom [in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of YOU God] and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things— That I may walk (live and conduct myself) in a manner worthy of YOU Lord, fully pleasing to YOU and desiring to please YOU in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing and increasing in and by the knowledge of God [with fuller, deeper, and clearer insight, acquaintance, and recognition]. [I pray] that I may be invigorated and strengthened with all power according to the might of YOUR glory, [to exercise] every kind of endurance and patience (perseverance and forbearance) with joy, Giving thanks to YOU Father, Who has qualified and made me fit to share the portion which is the inheritance of the saints (YOUR holy people) in the Light. [Father YOU] have delivered and drawn me to YOURself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred me into the kingdom of YOUR Son of YOUR love, In Whom I have my redemption through His blood, [which means] the forgiveness of my sins. I thank YOU in the name of JESUS ..... Amen
