The result of humility is fear of the Lord, along with wealth, honor, and life.
Proverbs 22:4, HCSB
God is good, and we know He judges evil. This should bring us healthy fear of God and gratitude for His goodness that He would save us through the blood of Christ.
“You also be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect.”
Luke 12:40, HCSB
God is good, and that is a reminder that, as bad as this world can be, He is coming again to make all things new. We do not know the exact time, but we can trust His goodness.
Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me.
John 15:4, HCSB
God created a home for us, yet He wants to be with us and to have us want to be with Him. Life is only truly found in Him.
Don’t neglect to do what is good and to share, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.
Hebrews 13:16, HCSB
God created a home for us and called us to love as He loves, so let us find ways to love others well, sacrificially and compassionately, just like Christ.
Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:2, HCSB
God created everything for us and to be with us, yet we often want this world more than Him. Let us be changed by the Holy Spirit to want Him and all that is good, to know good from evil and know Him more.
Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
