Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
Psalm 34:19, ESV
God promises life is hard, especially for those of us who call on His name and proclaim His truth to a world that shuns Him.
But our faithful boldness may help convince them.
You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word.
Psalm 119:114, ESV
We are found in Christ, and we strengthen our faith in His Word, the Bible.
Let us point others to the Truth found in the Bible.
You forgave the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin. Selah

He took those lashes to the cross, buying and giving forgiveness by His blood.

Psalm 145:18, ESV
God wants us to draw near, not merely waiting for us but even coming for us, but in His truth.
Don’t chase a fake god. Pursue the Gut of the Bible.
Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
Psalm 127:1, ESV
We want to do great things for God – start ministries, care for the poor, plant churches – but without a foundation in prayer and God’s Word, seeking His will in all things, we may be wasting our efforts.
Seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness.
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Selah

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
Psalm 56:3, ESV
This life can be scary, and people may come against us, but God should be feared more. We can trust His Word that He has us and won’t abandon us if our faith is Him Him alone.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope
Psalm 130:5, ESV
God’s Word – Scripture – reminds us of His promises, and the greatest is that The Word – Jesus, the Son of God – has saved us and us returning soon.
The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.
Psalm 103:19, ESV
God never changes, because He is outside of time; He is eternal. He interacts with us in time, but we can trust that He is in control of everything and is consistently good.
Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!
Psalm 100:2, ESV
Our God has saved us from our sin. This should bring us much joy and want to sing! It should also push us to want to gladly share the news of salvation with this world.
