Mt 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Mt 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Mt 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Mt 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

Mt 5:17 ¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Mt 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

Mt 5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Quotation:*

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved, loved for ourselves, or rather loved in spite of ourselves. --Victor Hugo

KJV*

Pr 3:13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

Pr 3:14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

Pr 3:15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

Pr 3:16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

Pr 3:17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

Pr 3:18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

Pr 3:19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

Pr 3:20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

Pr 3:21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

Pr 3:22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

Pr 3:23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

Pr 3:24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

Pr 3:25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

Pr 3:26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

Pr 3:27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it

Pr 3:28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

Pr 3:29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

Pr 3:30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

Pr 3:31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

Pr 3:32 For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

Pr 3:33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

Pr 3:34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

Pr 3:35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

To Find Victory Through Jesus Christ

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Dear Lord please show us where to stand as we must combat our natural instincts to want more and to covet what we see and what others have as we mix and mingle with Your Children while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV*

Ro 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

Ro 7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

Ro 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

Ro 7:10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

Ro 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

Ro 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Ro 7:13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

Ro 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

Ro 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

Ro 7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

Ro 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

Ro 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

Ro 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

Ro 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

Ro 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

Ro 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

Ro 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Ro 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

Ro 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

1Co 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Rejoice In The Lord Always

  Ps 63:1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

Ps 63:7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

Ps 63:8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

Ps 63:9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

Ps 63:10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

Ps 63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Php 4:2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.

Php 4:3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.

Php 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

The Lord Is My Shepherd

Dear Lord please lead us into paths of wise choices as we mix and mingle with Your Children in Your Creation while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world even as we strive to understand and to help others to find truth and strength in the coming days as we all begin to follow Jesus to the best that we can, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV*

Lu 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Lu 5:33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?

Lu 5:34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

Lu 5:35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

Lu 5:36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.

Lu 5:37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.

Lu 5:38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.

Lu 5:39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

Ps 63:8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

Ps 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Ps 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

Ps 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Ps 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Ps 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Ps 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Joh 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

Joh 10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

Joh 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

To Overcome Disappointment

Dear Lord please lead us into paths of confidence and ability as we deal with frustration and feelings of inadequacy as we mix and mingle with Your Children while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV* 

Lu 5:5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

Lu 5:6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

Lu 5:7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

Lu 5:8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

Lu 5:9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

Lu 5:10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

Lu 5:11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

 

To Accept Reality

 
Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Dear Lord please show us where to stand as we mix and mingle with Your Children in Your Creation while we seek Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world and as we must see the reality that is truth and fact, and will have to be faced, with or without Your support in our hour of need, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV*

1Co 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

2Co 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

2Co 11:30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.

2Co 12:5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

2Co 12:6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

2Co 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

For By One Spirit

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Dear Lord please show us where to stand on this day as we must decide what truth is important to us as we mix and mingle with Your Children in Your Creation while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world even when the weaknesses of our spirit is pulling us into sin as we struggle with our passions and our needs and desires, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV*

1Co 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

1Co 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

1Co 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

1Co 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

1Co 12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

1Co 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

1Co 12:9  To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

1Co 12:10  To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

1Co 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

1Co 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

1Co 12:14  For the body is not one member, but many.

1Co 12:15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

1Co 12:16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

1Co 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

1Co 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

1Co 12:19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?

1Co 12:20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.

1Co 12:21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

1Co 12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

1Co 12:23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

1Co 12:24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

1Co 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

1Co 12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

1Co 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

1Co 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

1Co 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

1Co 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

1Co 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

Abideth Faith, Hope, And Love

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Dear Lord please lead us away from the paths that are overshadowed by the vain thoughts that come from pride and vanity as we mix and mingle with Your Children in Your Creation while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world and please show us the paths of wise thought to use in making plans that will effect others, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV*

1Co 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

1Co 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

1Co 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

1Co 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

1Co 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

1Co 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

1Co 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

1Co 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

1Co 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

To Discern Both Good And Evil

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Dear Lord please carry us through the tough times that we must travel as we mix and mingle with Your Children while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world, even when the tough times are caused by some of the poor choices that we have made during a period of time when our attitude was one of incompleteness and lack of spiritual interest, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV*

Mt 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

Mt 16:12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

Heb 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

To Learn The Value Of Love

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Dear Lord please help us find truth in value without suffering loss if it be possible as we mix and mingle with Your Children, but help us learn the value by exposure to the love that is included in this life. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV*

Php 4:1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
