You keep your promises

Eze 23:1 The word of the LORD came to me:
Eze 23:2 "Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
Eze 23:3 They played the whore in Egypt; they played the whore in their youth; there their breasts were pressed and their virgin bosoms handled.
Eze 23:4 Oholah was the name of the elder and Oholibah the name of her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
Eze 23:5 "Oholah played the whore while she was mine, and she lusted after her lovers the Assyrians, warriors
Eze 23:6 clothed in purple, governors and commanders, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
Eze 23:7 She bestowed her whoring upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them, and she defiled herself with all the idols of everyone after whom she lusted.
Eze 23:8 She did not give up her whoring that she had begun in Egypt; for in her youth men had lain with her and handled her virgin bosom and poured out their whoring lust upon her.
Eze 23:9 Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians, after whom she lusted.
Eze 23:10 These uncovered her nakedness; they seized her sons and her daughters; and as for her, they killed her with the sword; and she became a byword among women, when judgment had been executed on her.
Eze 23:11 "Her sister Oholibah saw this, and she became more corrupt than her sister in her lust and in her whoring, which was worse than that of her sister.
Eze 23:12 She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and commanders, warriors clothed in full armor, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
Eze 23:13 And I saw that she was defiled; they both took the same way.
Eze 23:14 But she carried her whoring further. She saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion,
Eze 23:15 wearing belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them having the appearance of officers, a likeness of Babylonians whose native land was Chaldea.
Eze 23:16 When she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
Eze 23:17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoring lust. And after she was defiled by them, she turned from them in disgust.
Eze 23:18 When she carried on her whoring so openly and flaunted her nakedness, I turned in disgust from her, as I had turned in disgust from her sister.
Eze 23:19 Yet she increased her whoring, remembering the days of her youth, when she played the whore in the land of Egypt
Eze 23:20 and lusted after her paramours there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose issue was like that of horses.
Eze 23:21 Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom and pressed your young breasts."
Eze 23:22 Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I will stir up against you your lovers from whom you turned in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every side:
Eze 23:23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, desirable young men, governors and commanders all of them, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
Eze 23:24 And they shall come against you from the north with chariots and wagons and a host of peoples. They shall set themselves against you on every side with buckler, shield, and helmet; and I will commit the judgment to them, and they shall judge you according to their judgments.
Eze 23:25 And I will direct my jealousy against you, that they may deal with you in fury. They shall cut off your nose and your ears, and your survivors shall fall by the sword. They shall seize your sons and your daughters, and your survivors shall be devoured by fire.
Eze 23:26 They shall also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels.
Eze 23:27 Thus I will put an end to your lewdness and your whoring begun in the land of Egypt, so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore.
Eze 23:28 "For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, into the hands of those from whom you turned in disgust,
Eze 23:29 and they shall deal with you in hatred and take away all the fruit of your labor and leave you naked and bare, and the nakedness of your whoring shall be uncovered. Your lewdness and your whoring
Eze 23:30 have brought this upon you, because you played the whore with the nations and defiled yourself with their idols.
Eze 23:31 You have gone the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.
Eze 23:32 Thus says the Lord GOD: "You shall drink your sister's cup that is deep and large; you shall be laughed at and held in derision, for it contains much;
Eze 23:33 you will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow. A cup of horror and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria;
Eze 23:34 you shall drink it and drain it out, and gnaw its shards, and tear your breasts; for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.
Eze 23:35 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, you yourself must bear the consequences of your lewdness and whoring."
Eze 23:36 The LORD said to me: "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Declare to them their abominations.
Eze 23:37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. With their idols they have committed adultery, and they have even offered up to them for food the children whom they had borne to me.
Eze 23:38 Moreover, this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary on the same day and profaned my Sabbaths.
Eze 23:39 For when they had slaughtered their children in sacrifice to their idols, on the same day they came into my sanctuary to profane it. And behold, this is what they did in my house.
Eze 23:40 They even sent for men to come from afar, to whom a messenger was sent; and behold, they came. For them you bathed yourself, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with ornaments.
Eze 23:41 You sat on a stately couch, with a table spread before it on which you had placed my incense and my oil.
Eze 23:42 The sound of a carefree multitude was with her; and with men of the common sort, drunkards were brought from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on the hands of the women, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
Eze 23:43 "Then I said of her who was worn out by adultery, Now they will continue to use her for a whore, even her!
Eze 23:44 For they have gone in to her, as men go in to a prostitute. Thus they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, lewd women!
Eze 23:45 But righteous men shall pass judgment on them with the sentence of adulteresses, and with the sentence of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands."
Eze 23:46 For thus says the Lord GOD: "Bring up a vast host against them, and make them an object of terror and a plunder.
Eze 23:47 And the host shall stone them and cut them down with their swords. They shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses.
Eze 23:48 Thus will I put an end to lewdness in the land, that all women may take warning and not commit lewdness as you have done.
Eze 23:49 And they shall return your lewdness upon you, and you shall bear the penalty for your sinful idolatry, and you shall know that I am the Lord GOD."
Father God, you are Almighty and I praise you. You are my heavenly Father who keeps promises. You made the heavens and the earth and you who created me and loved me unconditionally. Father God, you hate the sin of adultery. You are a jealous God and punished those who does not honor and turn away from you. Father God, thank you that you are merciful and full of grace, thank you that you have chosen me and saved me from the kingdom of darkness. Thank you Jesus and continually transfrom me to a person that you want me to be. Oh Father, use me mightily as your servant and I pray that I will be faithful to you as you are to me, loving as you are to me and gracious as you are to me. Father help me that I may live a Christlike character so I can be blessing to other people and that they may be attracted to my life so I can bring more people to Jesus. This I pray in the Mighty Name of Jesus! AMEN

Help me to finish well

Isa 65:1 The LORD said, "I was ready to answer my people's prayers, but they did not pray. I was ready for them to find me, but they did not even try. The nation did not pray to me, even though I was always ready to answer, 'Here I am; I will help you.'
Isa 65:2 I have always been ready to welcome my people, who stubbornly do what is wrong and go their own way.
Isa 65:3 They shamelessly keep on making me angry. They offer pagan sacrifices at sacred gardens and burn incense on pagan altars.
Isa 65:4 At night they go to caves and tombs to consult the spirits of the dead. They eat pork and drink broth made from meat offered in pagan sacrifices.
Isa 65:5 And then they say to others, 'Keep away from us; we are too holy for you to touch!' I cannot stand people like that---my anger against them is like a fire that never goes out.
Isa 65:6 "I have already decided on their punishment, and their sentence is written down. I will not overlook what they have done, but will repay them
Isa 65:7 for their sins and the sins of their ancestors. They have burned incense at pagan hill shrines and spoken evil of me. So I will punish them as their past deeds deserve."
Isa 65:8 The LORD says, "No one destroys good grapes; instead, they make wine with them. Neither will I destroy all my people---I will save those who serve me.
Isa 65:9 I will bless the Israelites who belong to the tribe of Judah, and their descendants will possess my land of mountains. My chosen people, who serve me, will live there.
Isa 65:10 They will worship me and will lead their sheep and cattle to pasture in the Plain of Sharon in the west and in Trouble Valley in the east.
Isa 65:11 "But it will be different for you that forsake me, who ignore Zion, my sacred hill, and worship Gad and Meni, the gods of luck and fate.
Isa 65:12 It will be your fate to die a violent death, because you did not answer when I called you or listen when I spoke. You chose to disobey me and do evil.
Isa 65:13 And so I tell you that those who worship and obey me will have plenty to eat and drink, but you will be hungry and thirsty. They will be happy, but you will be disgraced.
Isa 65:14 They will sing for joy, but you will cry with a broken heart.
Isa 65:15 My chosen people will use your name as a curse. I, the Sovereign LORD, will put you to death. But I will give a new name to those who obey me.
Isa 65:16 Anyone in the land who asks for a blessing will ask to be blessed by the faithful God. Whoever takes an oath will swear by the name of the faithful God. The troubles of the past will be gone and forgotten."
Isa 65:17 The LORD says, "I am making a new earth and new heavens. The events of the past will be completely forgotten.
Isa 65:18 Be glad and rejoice forever in what I create. The new Jerusalem I make will be full of joy, and her people will be happy.
Isa 65:19 I myself will be filled with joy because of Jerusalem and her people. There will be no weeping there, no calling for help.
Isa 65:20 Babies will no longer die in infancy, and all people will live out their life span. Those who live to be a hundred will be considered young. To die before that would be a sign that I had punished them.
Isa 65:21 People will build houses and get to live in them---they will not be used by someone else. They will plant vineyards and enjoy the wine---it will not be drunk by others. Like trees, my people will live long lives. They will fully enjoy the things that they have worked for.
Isa 65:22 (SEE 65:21)
Isa 65:23 The work they do will be successful, and their children will not meet with disaster. I will bless them and their descendants for all time to come.
Isa 65:24 Even before they finish praying to me, I will answer their prayers.
Isa 65:25 Wolves and lambs will eat together; lions will eat straw, as cattle do, and snakes will no longer be dangerous. On Zion, my sacred hill, there will be nothing harmful or evil."

My Heavenly Father, I humble myself before your throne this day. Thank you for reminding of the new heaven and new earth that I hope for. Help me to finish well on this race to eternity. Thank you for reminding that there is always consequence on every sin. Thank you Father that You are a merciful God. Oh Father, I pray for comfort today and I surrender to you all my fears. I cast all my fears and worries in life to You that I may live into your comfort. Forgive me my Father to my unfaithfulness but continually changed my heart and make me a person you want me to be. Help me that I may follow your ways day by day, that I may not go astray as like a sheep leaving out the pen. Lord I am your servant and You are Holy. Help me live a holy and godly life that I may always be aware that I am a child of God and that I may always remember that while I am a sinner, Jesus gave His life for me. Help me that I may keep your words in my heart forevermore and will praise you throughout my life. This I pray in the Holy Name of Your Son JESUS, AMEN!
