Secure in Heart - Chapter Five
Am I Enough? God's Goodness

(p. 93)
How great is your goodness,
which you have stored up for those who fear you,
which you bestow in the sight of men
on those who take refuge in you.
—Psalm 31:19
 
(p. 93)
Give me a sign of your goodness,
that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
for you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
—Psalm 86:17
 
(p. 94)
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
—2 Peter 1:3–4
 
(p. 94)
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
—2 Corinthians 12:9
 
(p. 98)
“For God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” —Genesis 3:5
 
(p. 101)
“If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should carry his own load.”
—Galatians 6:3–5
 
(p. 101)
But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
—James 3:14–16
 
(p. 102)
So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while,
   “He who is coming will come and will not delay.
    But my righteous one will live by faith.
   And if he shrinks back,
    I will not be pleased with him.”
 
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.
—Hebrews 10:35–39
 
(p. 103)
“No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
—Matthew 9:16–17

(p. 105)
“My eyes will watch over them for their good, and I will bring them back to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them.”
—Jeremiah 24:6
 
(p. 105)
“I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart.”
—Jeremiah 24:7
 
(p. 105)
For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.
—2 Chronicles 16:9a

(p. 106)
If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
—1 Corinthians 12:26

(p. 107)
…but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism. All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.
—Romans 2:10–12
 
(p. 107)
God is our shield and our very great reward.
—Genesis 15:1–3
 
(p. 107)
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
—Jeremiah 29:11
 
(p. 107)
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
—Romans 8:28
 
(p. 107)
It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.
—Romans 9:16
 
(p. 107)
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
—Psalm 16:6
 
(p. 107)
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
—Romans 8:32
 
(p. 107)
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
—2 Peter 1:3
 
(p. 108)
“They captured fortified cities and fertile land; they took possession of houses filled with all kinds of good things, wells already dug, vineyards, olive groves and fruit trees in abundance. They ate to the full and were well-nourished; they reveled in your great goodness.”
—Nehemiah 9:25
 
(p. 108)
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
—Hebrews 11:1
 
(p. 108)
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
—2 Corinthians 4:16–18
 
(p. 108)
I rejoice in your promise
like one who finds great spoil.
—Psalm 119:162
 
(p. 108)
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
—Romans 4:18–21
 
(p. 108)
All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth.
—Hebrews 11:13
 
(p. 116)
“suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts…”
—Romans 5:3–5
 
(p. 117)
See Jeremiah 29:1-14
