Purpose
The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of Your hands. Psalm 138:8 What if God's purposes are for you, not against you?

Thank you
For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings, I will sing for joy. Psalm 63:7 Are His praises ever on your lips? Is your thankfulness dripping off your tongue?

Today & Tomorrow
Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off. Proverbs 23:18 Ever heard the phrase "He is already there?" Meaning, Jesus is already there. He's in the past. He's here now.

Stamped
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward Him. 2 Chronicles 16:9 I just love the following quote: Be stamped with God's nature, and His blessing will come through you all the time.

Ugly Poster
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:6 What does it look like? The big ugly poster you see when you begin to think poorly? When you start dwelling on the nasty? What does it look like? Your big ugly poster. Because...

We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 What steals your peace? Your joy? What types of things get your goat,...

Voice
And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you ask, for all my fellow townsmen know that you are a worthy woman. Ruth 3:11 How loud is your voice? Have you forgotten how it sounds? When you are faced with disappointment, does your voice disappear completely as you become...

Fear's Enemy
Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. Luke 10:19 Truth. Truth is Fear's enemy. Why?

If God Does
Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:34 "If God puts you there, He is amply sufficient." Oswald Chambers Unpacking this, there is so much to see. If God places you anywhere (and He does, because He is sovereign...

Set the Pace
That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. 1 Corinthians 11:30 How fast do you live life? At what speed do you spend your minutes? Fast and furious with a never-ending list waiting to be accomplished? In a tizzy when things are not completed on the timeline you have...

Honor
Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor. Proverbs 21:21 Sometimes God allows something to occur we simply cannot figure out. Something unbelievable, even in-explainable. Take Job for instance. He was an upstanding citizen. He was a regular sinful man, but he was righteous before God. Doing all the right things. Yet,...
