Our Lord and God, You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power, because You have created all things, and because of Your will they exist and were created.
Revelation 4:11, HCSB
We must remember that God chose to create us, to save us, and to call us friends. He is worthy of all praise, honor and glory.
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a difficult time.
Proverbs 17:17, HCSB
Friends choose each other, and brothers are related by blood. Both should help each other. Jesus came to call us friends by shedding His blood to redeem us and make Himself our big brother.
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape so that you are able to bear it.
1 Corinthians 10:13, HCSB
Joy and peace are found in Christ alone, finding these in the midst of temptations and struggles in knowing the He is the faithful one who is working in us by the Holy Spirit.
And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.
Ephesians 4:32, HCSB
Joy and peace are found in Christ alone, and we should be spreading that joy and peace through His redeemed Church and then to the world.
“This is why I tell you: Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing?”
Matthew 6:25, HCSB
Joy and peace are found in Christ alone, and it is easier to not be anxious about daily needs when our faith is in our Creator and Savior who provides all things for us, including salvation and eternal life.
“for I satisfy the thirsty person and feed all those who are weak.”
Jeremiah 31:25, HCSB
Joy and peace come through Christ alone, for God provides all our needs through Him, especially our spiritual thirst and hunger. He is our greatest need, and we can trust Him.
How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it.
Matthew 7:14, HCSB
Joy and peace are found in Christ alone, and living in love and obedience to Christ rather than our own desires and will makes it difficult for many to find His joy and peace.
Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the Lord’s decree will prevail.
Proverbs 19:21, HCSB
Joy and peace are found in knowing Christ is sovereign over all, not surprised by anything butbactively in control, that salvation is found in Him alone, and that He is renewing all things.
