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.)
Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
Proverbs 27:5-6 ESV
It hurts more finding out others did not want to hurt your feelings rather than spare you difficulty and pain by correcting you.
Nip sin in the bud. Confront it in love, with gentleness, and sooner rather than later.
It hurts less than consequences.
He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.
Isaiah 40:29, ESV
God sustains and strengthens us. Without God … well … we would not even be!
Trust your Creator and lean on His strength.
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.
