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.

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.
