Do Not Fear, Only Believe!
By Riqui RicónO LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that
persecute me, and deliver
me (Psalm 7:1, KJV).
The Bible, which is the Word of God and does
not lie, teaches you in Psalm 84 that the man or woman who trusts in God is
happy. Therefore, it seems that living a happy, full, and peaceful life on
earth is indeed possible and depends on your trust in God. It depends
on whether you truly believe
God by believing His Word.
O LORD of hosts,
blessed is the man that trusteth in thee
(Psalm 84:12, KJV).
Confiar en Dios es sencillo, sólo necesitas saber que Él no miente. ¡Él no puede mentir! ¡Él
es Dios!
Trusting
God means BELIEVING
that He will fulfill each and every one of His
Words. On the other hand, distrusting God means believing that He is dishonest
and a liar—that He is not worthy of trust.
Satan, your adversary, is the only one
interested in making you distrust God's Word
and putting you in the ultimate dilemma:
since He is God, to distrust Him means thinking that some of the
things He said were spoken with bad intentions.
If he manages
to make you doubt the Bible, then he will manage to make you fear for your life, your health, your
finances, your family—everything!
This is why the secret
to living a happy life is simple:
He that dwelleth in the secret
place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust (Psalm
91:1-2, KJV).
So, trusting God means having the certainty, the full conviction, that He is honorable; that is, that God has
a Word of Honor. For this reason, and
no
other, you can be sure today that He will save you from all who persecute
you and deliver you from all evil, because you have trusted in God.
Then a man named Jairus, a
synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to
his house because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.
As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost
crushed him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for
twelve years, but no one could heal her. She came up behind him and touched the
edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped (Luke
8:41-44, NIV).
Both Jairus and the woman suffering from the
issue of blood put their trust in Jesus. They knew that they knew that Jesus was going to respond to them with a miracle. They did not waver
through unbelief, nor did they try
to manipulate Him by making Him feel sorry for them. The woman didn't even ask
Him! She simply went and took her miracle,
for she said within herself,
If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole (Matthew
9:21, KJV).
Please pay close attention to the words
Jesus spoke to Jairus when people came to tell him he would not receive the miracle he was expecting, because his daughter was already dead and nothing more could be
done:
But when Jesus heard
it, he answered him, saying,
Fear not: believe
only, and she shall be made
whole (Luke 8:50, KJV).
What God asks of you here is that you stop focusing
your attention, your sight,
and your heart on the difficulty of your situation or how serious and final
your illness may be, as that will only produce fear and cancel out your faith.
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid;
and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And
immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? (Matthew
14:30-31, KJV).
Concentrating on facts and circumstances only produces fear. However, when you give all your attention to the
Truth, which is the Word of God, then it produces faith and sets you free.
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If
ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free (John 8:31-32, KJV).
Jesus
tells you today: ONLY BELIEVE! Set your mind, your sight, and your heart on my
Word! I do not lie, and I never will! Heaven and earth would pass away before I
fail to fulfill my Word to you! I love you so much that I chose to go to the cross to pay for all your sins rather than lose you! The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it in abundance (John
10:10, KJV).
The
problem with illness, as with most afflictions, is that we give more
credibility to the symptoms, tests, and words
of the doctor than to the Word of
God. I am not saying that medicine and doctors are bad, since Every good gift and every perfect gift is
from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no
variableness, neither shadow of turning (James 1:17, KJV).
What I am telling you is how you can be
healed today. Stop giving your attention, emotions, and heart to those things
that are filling you with fear to make you doubt. Do not fear, only believe,
for to him who believes, EVERYTHING is possible.
Make a decision and ensure
that in your mind, mouth, and heart, God your Father is a
person of Honor.
God is not a man, that he should
lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken,
and shall he not
make it good? Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath
blessed; and I cannot reverse it (Numbers 23:19-20, KJV).
You are a BORN AGAIN Child of God. The price paid for your New Nature was
so high and full of Love that it is absurd to think your Heavenly
Father is now sitting by with His
arms crossed while you suffer through afflictions.
He has ALREADY
SPOKEN the Word! The command
to bless is already over your
life! The price for your healing and redemption has already been paid! His
Blood was shed! The New Covenant was established, and nothing and no one can
steal what is legitimately yours!
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and
afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we
are healed (Isaiah 53:4-5, KJV).
Remember that no pain, circumstance, or illness can ever be above the Word
of God.
Let’s pray out loud:
Beloved Heavenly Father, today I am
determined to receive what You paid for me with such great Love. By the New
Covenant in the Blood of Jesus, I believe and receive my healing. I declare
myself free from every pain and disease. I speak health and well-being to every
cell, tissue, organ, and system of my being. I reject all fear, for I have not received the spirit of bondage to be in fear again, but I have received
the spirit of adoption and today I can say, Abba, Father. I set my eyes,
emotions, and feelings on You, Lord Jesus, who are the author and finisher of
my faith. I set my eyes and my faith on Your Word. I believe and declare: I am
healed! I am free! I am prosperous! I am more than a conqueror! I can do all things through Christ!
I am happy because I trust
in You! And by the Blood of
Jesus, I have every right to live a full and abundant life.
Thank You very much, Lord Jesus. Thank You for this New Life in Fullness that I
now have. Thank You for my healing. Thank You for my health. Thank You for my
prosperity. Thank You for the Love,
peace, and joy that I now enjoy. In
the name of Jesus. Amen.
Important Note:
How do I become a Child of God? How do I establish a relationship with the
Almighty?
Just say the following prayer
aloud, putting all your attention
and heart into what you are saying to God:
Lord Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of
God. That You came into this world, born of the virgin
Mary, to pay for all my sins, and I have been a sinner. Therefore, today I say that I
accept. I accept Your sacrifice on the cross! I
accept Your precious
Blood shed to the last drop out of love for me! I open my
heart to You and invite You in
because I want, Lord Jesus, that from today and forever You be my only and sufficient Savior, my
God, my King, and my Lord.
Thank You, Almighty God, because with this
simple prayer and profession of faith I have passed from death to Life, I have been transferred from darkness
to Your marvelous Light. Today I have been Born Again! God, now I am Your
Child! Now You are my Father! I will never be alone again! I will never live
defeated again. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Three Recommendations:
What just happened by you recognizing Jesus Christ as the Lord and
Savior of your life, according
to God's Word, is that you have been Born Again. No longer
as an ordinary human being, subject to the law of sin and death, but now as a
legitimate and authentic Child of God, Born Again, exactly like Jesus Christ, who is now your Older Brother. Therefore,
I give you these three, very important, recommendations:
1.
Pray. Praying is talking with God. So, find a quiet
place where you can begin talking to Him about everything. Do it out loud, and you will notice
how God always responds to your heart.
2.
Read and meditate
on the Word of God. The Bible
is the Word of God, so
get a Bible and start reading and meditating on it. How do you begin? It’s very simple. Depending on the day,
look up the reading program “The
Bible in One Year” and do the corresponding readings. You can get this program at: Through The Bible In One Year (palabradehonor.org). You will notice
that the program is set up so you can print it as a booklet.
3.
In prayer with God, your Father, look for and join a
Christian church or congregation where the Word of God is taught based
on the Good News, which are
the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

January 7 Luke 8.26-56 / Genesis
13-14 / Psalm 7
Luke
8.26 And
they arrived at the country
of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 And when he went
forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils
long time, and ware no clothes, neither
abode in any house, but in the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus,
he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud
voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I
beseech thee, torment me not.
29 (For he had commanded
the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For
oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters;
and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion:
because many devils were entered into him.
31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding
on the mountain: and they
besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered
them.
33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered
into the swine:
and the herd ran violently
down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told
it in the city and in the country.
35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found
the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus,
clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed
of the devils was healed.
37 Then the whole
multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart
from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned
back again.
38 Now the man out of whom the devils
were departed besought
him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him
away, saying,
39 Return to thine
own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned,
the people gladly received him: for they were all
waiting for him.
41 And, behold,
there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought
him that he would
come into his house:
42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people
thronged him.
43 And a woman having
an issue of blood twelve
years, which had spent all her
living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:
and immediately her issue of
blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they
that were with him said, Master,
the multitude throng thee and press thee, and
sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody
hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And when the
woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared
unto him before
all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how
she was healed immediately.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter,
be of good comfort: thy faith hath made
thee whole; go in peace.
49 While he yet spake,
there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy
daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 But when Jesus heard
it, he answered him, saying,
Fear not: believe
only, and she shall be made whole.
51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the
father and the mother of the maiden.
52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 And they laughed him to scorn,
knowing that she was dead.
54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand,
and called, saying,
Maid, arise.
55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged
them that they should tell no man what was done.
Genesis
13 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and
Lot with him, into the south.
2 And Abram
was very rich in cattle,
in silver, and in gold.
3 And he went on his journeys
from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the
beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
4 Unto the place of the altar,
which he had make there at the first: and there
Abram called on the name of the LORD.
5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and
tents.
6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell
together.
7 And there was a
strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle:
and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife,
I pray thee, between me and
thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself,
I pray thee, from me: if thou
wilt take the left hand,
then I will go to the right;
or if thou depart to the
right hand, then I will go to the left.
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes,
and beheld all the plain
of Jordan, that it was well
watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom
and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land
of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the
other.
12 Abram dwelled
in the land of Canaan,
and Lot dwelled in the cities of the
plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before
the LORD exceedingly.
14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the
place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth:
so that if a man can
number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length
of it and in the breadth of it; for I
will give it unto thee.
18 Then Abram
removed his tent, and came and dwelt
in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built
there an altar unto the LORD.
14 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel
king of Shinar, Arioch king of
Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
2 That these made
war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab
king of Admah,
and Shemeber king of Zeboiim,
and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
3 All these were joined
together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
4 Twelve years
they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they
rebelled.
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with
him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and
the Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.
7 And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which
is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and
also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.
8 And there went
out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim,
and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in
the vale of Siddim;
9 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch
king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
10 And the vale of
Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah,
and all their victuals, and
went their way.
12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom,
and his goods, and departed.
13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew;
for he dwelt in the plain of
Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were
confederate with Abram.
14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive,
he armed his trained servants, born in his own
house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
15 And he divided himself
against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto
Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought
again his brother
Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
17 And the king of
Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's
dale.
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
20 And blessed
be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of
all.
21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram,
Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high
God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
23 That I will not take from a thread
even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion
of the men which went with me,
Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
Psalm
7 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust:
save me from all them that
persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces,
while there is none to deliver.
3 O LORD my God, If I have done this;
if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 If I have rewarded
evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have
delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
5 Let the enemy persecute
my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread
down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour
in the dust. Selah.
6 Arise, O LORD, in thine
anger, lift up thyself because of the
rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment
that thou hast commanded.
7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8 The LORD shall judge the people:
judge me, O LORD, according
to my righteousness, and
according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish
the just: for the righteous
God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 My defence
is of God, which saveth
the upright in
heart.
11 God judgeth
the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked
every day.
12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it
ready.
13 He hath also prepared
for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought
forth falsehood.
15
He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch
which he made.
16 His mischief
shall return upon his own head, and his violent
dealing shall come down upon
his own pate.
17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that
persecute me, and deliver
me (Psalm 7:1, KJV).
The Bible, which is the Word of God and does
not lie, teaches you in Psalm 84 that the man or woman who trusts in God is
happy. Therefore, it seems that living a happy, full, and peaceful life on
earth is indeed possible and depends on your trust in God. It depends

the name of Jesus. Amen.
Important Note:
How do I become a Child of God? How do I establish a relationship with the
Almighty?
Just say the following prayer
aloud, putting all your attention
and heart into what you are saying to God:
Lord Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of
God. That You came into this world, born of the virgin
Mary, to pay for all my sins, and I have been a sinner. Therefore, today I say that I
accept. I accept Your sacrifice on the cross! I
accept Your precious
Blood shed to the last drop out of love for me! I open my
heart to You and invite You in
because I want, Lord Jesus, that from today and forever You be my only and sufficient Savior, my
God, my King, and my Lord.
Thank You, Almighty God, because with this
simple prayer and profession of faith I have passed from death to Life, I have been transferred from darkness
to Your marvelous Light. Today I have been Born Again! God, now I am Your
Child! Now You are my Father! I will never be alone again! I will never live
defeated again. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Three Recommendations:
What just happened by you recognizing Jesus Christ as the Lord and
Savior of your life, according
to God's Word, is that you have been Born Again. No longer
as an ordinary human being, subject to the law of sin and death, but now as a
legitimate and authentic Child of God, Born Again, exactly like Jesus Christ, who is now your Older Brother. Therefore,
I give you these three, very important, recommendations:
1.
Pray. Praying is talking with God. So, find a quiet
place where you can begin talking to Him about everything. Do it out loud, and you will notice
how God always responds to your heart.
2.
Read and meditate
on the Word of God. The Bible
is the Word of God, so
get a Bible and start reading and meditating on it. How do you begin? It’s very simple. Depending on the day,
look up the reading program “The
Bible in One Year” and do the corresponding readings. You can get this program at: Through The Bible In One Year (palabradehonor.org). You will notice
that the program is set up so you can print it as a booklet.
3.
In prayer with God, your Father, look for and join a
Christian church or congregation where the Word of God is taught based
on the Good News, which are
the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Reading and Meditation on the Word of God
Do these daily readings, and by the end of one year you will have read the
entire Bible.
January 7 Luke 8.26-56 / Genesis
13-14 / Psalm 7
Luke
8.26 And
they arrived at the country
of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 And when he went
forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils
long time, and ware no clothes, neither
abode in any house, but in the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus,
he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud
voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I
beseech thee, torment me not.
29 (For he had commanded
the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For
oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters;
and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion:
because many devils were entered into him.
31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding
on the mountain: and they
besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered
them.
33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered
into the swine:
and the herd ran violently
down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told
it in the city and in the country.
35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found
the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus,
clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed
of the devils was healed.
37 Then the whole
multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart
from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned
back again.
38 Now the man out of whom the devils
were departed besought
him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him
away, saying,
39 Return to thine
own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned,
the people gladly received him: for they were all
waiting for him.
41 And, behold,
there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought
him that he would
come into his house:
42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people
thronged him.
43 And a woman having
an issue of blood twelve
years, which had spent all her
living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:
and immediately her issue of
blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they
that were with him said, Master,
the multitude throng thee and press thee, and
sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody
hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And when the
woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared
unto him before
all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how
she was healed immediately.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter,
be of good comfort: thy faith hath made
thee whole; go in peace.
49 While he yet spake,
there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy
daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 But when Jesus heard
it, he answered him, saying,
Fear not: believe
only, and she shall be made whole.
51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the
father and the mother of the maiden.
52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 And they laughed him to scorn,
knowing that she was dead.
54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand,
and called, saying,
Maid, arise.
55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged
them that they should tell no man what was done.
Genesis
13 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and
Lot with him, into the south.
2 And Abram
was very rich in cattle,
in silver, and in gold.
3 And he went on his journeys
from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the
beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
4 Unto the place of the altar,
which he had make there at the first: and there
Abram called on the name of the LORD.
5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and
tents.
6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell
together.
7 And there was a
strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle:
and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife,
I pray thee, between me and
thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself,
I pray thee, from me: if thou
wilt take the left hand,
then I will go to the right;
or if thou depart to the
right hand, then I will go to the left.
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes,
and beheld all the plain
of Jordan, that it was well
watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom
and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land
of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the
other.
12 Abram dwelled
in the land of Canaan,
and Lot dwelled in the cities of the
plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before
the LORD exceedingly.
14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the
place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth:
so that if a man can
number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length
of it and in the breadth of it; for I
will give it unto thee.
18 Then Abram
removed his tent, and came and dwelt
in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built
there an altar unto the LORD.
14 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel
king of Shinar, Arioch king of
Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
2 That these made
war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab
king of Admah,
and Shemeber king of Zeboiim,
and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
3 All these were joined
together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
4 Twelve years
they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they
rebelled.
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with
him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and
the Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.
7 And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which
is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and
also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.
8 And there went
out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim,
and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in
the vale of Siddim;
9 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch
king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
10 And the vale of
Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah,
and all their victuals, and
went their way.
12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom,
and his goods, and departed.
13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew;
for he dwelt in the plain of
Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were
confederate with Abram.
14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive,
he armed his trained servants, born in his own
house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
15 And he divided himself
against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto
Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought
again his brother
Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
17 And the king of
Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's
dale.
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
20 And blessed
be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of
all.
21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram,
Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high
God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
23 That I will not take from a thread
even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion
of the men which went with me,
Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
Psalm
7 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust:
save me from all them that
persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces,
while there is none to deliver.
3 O LORD my God, If I have done this;
if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 If I have rewarded
evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have
delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
5 Let the enemy persecute
my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread
down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour
in the dust. Selah.
6 Arise, O LORD, in thine
anger, lift up thyself because of the
rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment
that thou hast commanded.
7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8 The LORD shall judge the people:
judge me, O LORD, according
to my righteousness, and
according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish
the just: for the righteous
God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 My defence
is of God, which saveth
the upright in
heart.
11 God judgeth
the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked
every day.
12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it
ready.
13 He hath also prepared
for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought
forth falsehood.
15
He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch
which he made.
16 His mischief
shall return upon his own head, and his violent
dealing shall come down upon
his own pate.
17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
