-

-
and just going at a slower pace while we are
-

-

-

-

-
23 through 29, ERV. And there is no nation on
-
earth like your people, Israel. They are special
-
people. They were slaves, but you took them out
-
of Egypt and made them free. You made them your
-
people. You did great and wonderful things for
-
the Israelites and your land. You made the people
-
of Israel your very own people forever. And Lord,
-
you became their God. Now, Lord God, you promised
-
to do something for me, your servant, and for
-
my family. Now please do what you promised. Make
-
my family a family of kings forever. Then your
-
name will be honored forever. People will say,
-
the Lord God all -powerful rules Israel. And
-
may the family of your servant David continue
-
to be strong in serving you. You Lord all -powerful,
-
the God of Israel. You have shown things to me.
-
You said, I will make your family great. That
-
is why I, your servant, decide to pray this prayer
-
to you. Lord God, you are God, and I can trust
-
what you say. And you said that these good things
-
will happen to me, your servant. Now please,
-
bless my family. Let them stand before you and
-
serve you forever. Lord God, you are God. and
-
I can trust what you say. And you said that these
-
good things will happen to me, your servant.
-
Now please, bless my family. Let them stand before
-
you and serve you forever. Lord God, you yourself
-
said these things. You yourself blessed my family
-
with a blessing that will continue forever. John
-
3 verses 31 through 36 from the ERV version.
-
The one who comes from heaven, the one who comes
-
from above is greater than all others. The one
-
who is from the earth belongs to the earth. He
-
talks about things that are on the earth, but
-
the one who comes from heaven is greater than
-
all others. He tells what he has seen and heard,
-
but people don't accept what he says. Whoever
-
accepts what he says has given proof that God
-
speaks the truth. God sent him and he tells people
-
what God says. God gives him the Spirit fully.
-
The Father loves the Son and has given him power
-
over everything. Whoever believes in the Son
-
has eternal life. But those who do not obey the
-
Son will never have that life. They cannot get
-
away from God's anger.
