Kool proud study right into Gods mercy
Daniel:
I was starting a study in pride, etc and it took a turn as I was looking. I was really blessed by it. I hope you are as well.
What is "The Fear of the Lord"?
Prov 8:13 The fear of the LORD IS "to hate evil": pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Luke 4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
That "high mountain".. "Pride before a fall"
1Titus 2:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
Isaiah 13:11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
Every mountain made low, as only He can do.
Job 40:12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
Psalm 119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.
Prov 28:25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
Prov 21:4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
Mal 3:15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up :idea: yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
Mal 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it :o and a "book of remembrance" was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. :wink:
Thats beautiful... this is worded very interestingly, knowing God spared not His only Son but will AS A MAN spare here.
Mal 3:17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, AS A MAN spareth his own son that serveth him.
This is where it gets even more interesting
Mal 3:18 Then shall ye return, and discern "between" the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. :idea:
Notice how these are "worded"
Psalm 37:21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
Remember the "O wicked servant" (who borroweth mercy?) I forgave you because thou desirest me. (But payeth not again) ought you have not forgiven your fellowservant their tresspasses?
Wicked and unmerciful are directly linked. Above is a picture of robbery in that regard (its HIS mercy he has on us and He desires us to "give it to others" freely without gruding one another)
Prov 21:7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.
Whats true Judgment?
Zech 7:9 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
Forgive us AS we forgive others their tresspasses
James 2:13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
Sounds like...
Mathew 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Mathew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. :D
See the "lending" and "borrowing" and "giving"?
Psalm 37:26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
Romans 11:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
Prov 11:17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth "his own flesh" :wink:
Gods ways are so fair and just!
Truly blessed are the merciful and not the prideful (who He can indeed humble :wink: )
Peace

Great post Daniel. God is so balanced. And he is also so much better than those who revile him.

Amen, Daniel.
Very well put into words and a good study. We must repay, in the same way, He has shown mercy and forgiveness to us.
God bless,
