Every Word – Loss Is Difficult

It was not a momentary lapse. “For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.” – Hebrews 12:17 NKJV

The best way to handle things… “Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; and where there is no talebearer, strife ceases.” – Proverbs 26:20 NKJV

There would have been some desperation. “That evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming.’” – Matthew 24:48 NKJV

Not that flavor! “And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.” – Galatians 1:14 NKJV

It happens to the blessed of us. “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.” – 1 Kings 19:10 NKJV

Waiting is important. “For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head.” – Mark 4:28 NKJV
