All it takes is a little TRUST...

Those who have put their trust in God will come to understand the truth of his ways. Those who have been faithful will live with him in his love, for he is kind and merciful to the ones whom he has chosen. -Wisdom 3:9 (GNTD)

A perfect illustration of God's love. Notice the requirement here is trust--not good works, perfect church attendance or any other human goodness we might think will appease God's wrath and get us into Heaven.

Put round you the cloak of God's righteousness. Place on your head the crown of the glory of the Eternal God. - Baruch 5:2 (GNTD)

There's no way I'm going to make it to heaven without the help of Jesus. His blood covers my sin and makes me righteous before God. In a very real sense, I have the cloak of God's righteous that nothing I have ever done [or might do] could provide.

The Warrior

For while all things were in quiet silence, and that night was in the midst of her swift course, thine Almighty word leaped down from heaven out of thy royal throne, as a fierce man of war into the midst of a land of destruction, and brought thine unfeigned commandment as a sharp sword, and standing up filled all things with death; and it touched the heaven, but it stood upon the earth. -Wisdom of Solomon 18:14-16 (KJVDA)

A reminder of the awesome power of the Lord.
