So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:10, ESV
Serve others, give to others, encourage others. Especially those in the Church.
We are a brotherhood, a family, united in our Big Brother and God, Jesus.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Hebrews 13:8, ESV
Do not worry.
Our Lord is in control, and He does not change. You can trust Him.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34, NIV
Life throws many problems at us, and it can be difficult not worrying.
The key is focusing on Christ. It is not easy, but worrying only makes things worse (at least in our minds.)
“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.
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.
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Proverbs 17:22, ESV
Be kind to others, lifting each other up.
Encourage others, bring a shoulder or an arm to help.
Share the Lord, showing His joy and healing.
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Romans 12:12, KJV
No matter our circumstances, we have Christ as our example:
