\u201cBehold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Psalms 16:4
\nThe sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply<\/strong>; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips.<\/p>\n

Psalms 32:10
\nMany are the sorrows of the wicked<\/strong>, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD.<\/p>\n

Psalms 97:7
\nAll worshipers of images are put to shame, who make their boast in worthless idols;<\/strong> worship him, all you gods!<\/p>\n

Jonah 2:8
\nThose who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joshua 23:7
\nthat you may not mix with these nations remaining among you or make mention of the names of their gods or swear by them or serve them or bow down to them,<\/p>\n

Ecclesiastes 8:12
\nThough a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God<\/strong>, because they fear before him.<\/p>\n

Isaiah 3:11
\nWoe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him<\/strong>, for what his hands have dealt out shall be done to him.<\/p>\n

Romans 2:8-9
\nbut for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury<\/strong>.\u00a0There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,<\/p>\n

Proverbs 13:21
\nDisaster pursues sinners,<\/strong> but the righteous are rewarded with good.<\/p>\n

Many sorrows pursue those who are self-seeking, not obeying or seeking truth, and not fearing God. I wonder what worthless self seeking things I chase after through out the year, month, week, day. How do I identify those things in my life that are not God honoring but are self-seeking? \u00a0Reading God’s word with a desire to know and serve Him more is\u00a0a good place to start. \u00a0On top of reading, add listening to what it is saying to my\u00a0heart with a willingness to obey. \u00a0How many days start and finish without a thought of honoring and serving Him? \u00a0How many days could have been better with Him leading and me following? \u00a0Start each day with purpose to listen, obey, honor and serve Him. We all meet up with sorrow this side of eternity. \u00a0Sorrow without God is sorrow without hope and that is disaster and loneliness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
