1 Peter 2:9King James Version (KJV)
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?


And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Tit 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure

Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

Seems like a strange one to choose to be one of my favorites, part of Jesus prediction that Peter would desert Him, and that Satan would like to sift him as wheat. But its the 32nd verse that gets me, I love it, Jesus says I have prayed for thee!!!

You know what Jesus has prayed for me and for you!! Wow that just blows my socks off, the creator of all things prays for me and He knows that I might fall, but He knows I will come back and He have given me a task, a job when I do, strengthen my brothers!! I could write so much about this, Jesus also tells Peter once He restores him after falling away, feed my sheep. If we fall away, which will happen at times, then lets make sure to take those times in the valley to warn others and use them to be able to comfort others who face similar things, always rememering that Jesus is praying for us!! What cant we face with Christ Himself praying for us!!! Amen!!!

O God, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still. For behold, Your enemies make an uproar, And those who hate You have exalted themselves.

On the subject of the "treasured" of "hidden" ones I have always connected this with a couple of verses....

Jude 1

"9Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee."

And

2 Kings 2

"10And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. 11And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven."

Two witnesses that may appear to bring great annoyance to those who reject the "Judeo-Christian" narrative...

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?
Yet not one of them will fall to the ground
apart from the will of your Father.
And even the very hairs of your head are
all numbered.
So do not be afraid; you are worth more
than many sparrows...
Matthew 10:29-31

- Ezekiel 33.11

Is God going to erase the memory of your unsaved loved ones, when he wipes away your tears? Or is he just going to wipe out your feelings for them?
