VerseD: Psalm 4:8

In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

VerseD: Matthew 7:24

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”

We can try to live our own truth, live but the world’s wisdom, or try to please God on our own.

Or we can listen to and obey Jesus.

Pray to hear Jesus and for the strength and wisdom to obey.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Pray that His grace and truth can flow through your life.

Let us pray to God who can save our souls and encourage our hearts and minds.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!

Give thanks to God for loving us more than we can know!

VerseD: Psalm 8:3-4

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

We like to think highly of ourselves, yet this vast universe reminds us how insignificant we are.

And yet God still loves us and has made a way for us to be with Him when we trust in the work of Christ.

But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.

Bad things can happen to all of us, and we face an end to this life. Our faithful God has lifted us up in Christ, and He fights for us with the Holy Spirit.
