This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
Psalm 18:30, ESV
Scripture continues to be proven true, whether through fulfilled prophecy, archaeology, or by living it out.
Live out God’s Word, and your soul shall find refuge.
“Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'”
John 7:38, ESV
The natural result of salvation is the outpouring of God’s love, compassion, and grace through you via the Holy Spirit of Christ.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:26, ESV
We get sick.
We die.
But God never does, and He never changes. Faith in the Son is what redeems us to become like Him.
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
Colossians 3:2, ESV
It is impossible to rightly serve God if we are not focused on Him. Loving others will fall apart if we are not rightly loving Him, even if we are trying to help others but stay focused solely on physical needs and worldly issues.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
Ephesians 6:10, ESV
Paul said “finally” here, but he meant all the time, not as an afterthought.
Continually seek and rely on God in every moment.
Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!
1 Chronicles 16:11, ESV
Pastors say to read your Bible every day to stay close to God.
While true, it must go deeper. Seek God throughout the day, contemplating His truth.
Then your strength will be realized.
I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
Psalm 16:8, ESV
Christ should not be center of everything. He should BE EVERYTHING!
Following Christ reveals He is in, surrounding, and holding everything, so we have no reason to worry.
