So I post 5 verses about God blessing the righteous.
And that is me saying I am righteous and you are not.
Well next time I must add why I am posting it. But then people
will say I am lying.
So if everybody is defeated and being honest how many are repenting, confessing
and getting right with God?
Or is this also not what christians do anymore?
I wonder how many remember when they first came to Christ, the joy, the wonder
the amazing freedom and celebration. We are free from sin, given forgiveness and
love can reign in our hearts. Listen to what Christ says we should do,
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first.
Rev 2:4-5
In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”
Rev 5:12

This is the last I'll say because others have made a fair and true point that we will get no where by going in circles with each other.
You say the intent of the verses was about God blessing the righteous, yet you ended it with "With words of hatred they surround me; they attack me without cause.
Psalm 109:3".
You are making yourself a pariah and attempting to exalt yourself.
If you make your intent clear, which I understand is almost never the case with you (not bashing you, just saying your posts are very vague and hard to follow), it may help, but given past evidence, probably not.
There is a lot of passive aggression on your part in your posts, and if this isn't the case, you need to learn to be much more clear in your statements because the consensus seems to be that you are being accusatory and aggressive while at the same time pretending you are humble and caring.

So you desire to stay as you are.
There are always reasons why you do not want to listen to Gods word or
see good things He has to offer. And if you listen to the enemy there are
lots of things you could spin about my evil intent.
And what is my evil intent? To encourage us to follow Jesus and know purity
and love in our hearts.
Is there sin in our lives? If the answer is yes we should work to resolve this.
Christ loves us through this process and the walk is one of blessing.
If not resolving sin is Gods way and sharing about the power of Christ is being evil,
things are very bad.

Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matt 5:12
Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
1 Tim 6:18-19
Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

and that you get to see some koalas and kangaroos For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thess 5:9
And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
Rev 7:10
"Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
for true and just are his judgments.
He has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries.
He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”
Rev 19:1-2
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Phil 1:2

AMEN....a child like faith....just simply believe it........it is a rather simplistic thing for God to say.....
It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe......
To God it is absurd and foolish, but PLEASING to simply save those who believe....
He also inspired that
a. MEN must believe that he IS
b. Men must believe that he rewards those who diligently seek him
In a world of false gods, humanism, idolatry, self worship, etc. God simply wants men to acknowledge him by faith.....and exactly why he states...EXCEPT ye become as one of these little ones....
Children will simply believe and acknowledge anything you tell them.....SIMPLE FAITH!
That sounds like it will be just Amazing

Amen! Child like faith is how Jesus characterized conversion. It pictures faith as the simple, helpless, trusting, dependence of those who have no resources of their own. Like children, they have no achievements and no accomplishments to offer or commend themselves with. Jesus here is pointing to the need to have the same type of faith that little children exhibit.
The most trusting people in the world are children. Children have not acquired the obstructions to faith that often come with advanced education and exposure to the philosophies of men. Christ calls us to have the same kind of trust that little children naturally have. People must become as little children in humbly recognizing their helplessness in attaining the kingdon in their own strength. We are 100% dependent on Jesus to save us.

:O :O :O There is an Airbus area where they build parts of planes not too far from where I live! It's a 2 hour drive away and many people from my area move there, to work there
I have never flown with Qantas before I have used american airlines, and jet2. Didn't really think much of those airlines, with AA they delayed my flight back from America JFK back home to the UK by about 4 or 5 hours in the end. Did give a pillow there though, Jet2 was just crap and gave nothing.

Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Eph 5:1
He said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matt 18:3
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.
