Rachel's Reasoning

1Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

 2Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:

 3Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

 4I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

 5That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

 6Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

 7So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

 8Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 9God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

 10Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

 11For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

 12Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

 13Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

 14I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

 15Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

 16And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

 17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

 18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

 19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

 20Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

 21For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

 22For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

 23But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

 24But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

 25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

 26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

 27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

 28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

 29That no flesh should glory in his presence.

 30But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

 31That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Bible Verse of the Day:
Proverbs 23:14
 14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

 1When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:

 2And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.

 3Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.

 4Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

 5Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

 6Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:

 7For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

 8The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

 9Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

 10Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

 11For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.

 12Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

 13Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

 14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

 15My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

 16Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

 17Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

 18For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

 19Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

 20Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

 21For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

 22Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

 23Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

 24The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

 25Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

 26My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

 27For a ***** is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.

 28She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.

 29Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

 30They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

 31Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

 32At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

 33Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

 34Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

 35They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

For today, I thought I would post something out of Psalms. I hadn't been able to post my SP&P for last week, so I am putting this as it for tomorrow as well. Enjoy!

Psalm 64

 1Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

 2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

 3Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

 4That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

 5They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

 6They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

 7But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

 8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

 9And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

 10The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory!

Psalm 22:31
"31They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this."

 2O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

 3But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

 4Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

 5They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

 6But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

 7All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

 8He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

 9But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

 10I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

 11Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

 12Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

 13They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

 14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

 15My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

 16For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

 17I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

 18They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

 19But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

 20Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

 21Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

 22I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

 23Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

 24For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

 25My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

 26The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

 27All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

 28For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations.

 29All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

 30A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

 31They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

Psalm 1

 1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

 3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

 4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

 5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

 6For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
