Jer. 20:8-9, "So the word of the LORD has brought me reproach all day long. But if I say, “I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,” his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot." Stand firm in God

Jer. 12:5, "If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?" God gives us smaller tests to prepare us for the larger ones. "Lord, help us to pass."
Is 65:17-18: “See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy." Heaven awaits us. Rejoice!
Heb 1:1-2: "In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe." Jesus is the way- God's brilliance.
Paul: "But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously. . "(Titus 3:4-6).
Paul: "He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior"(1 Tim 1:9-10)
Paul: "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time"(1 Timothy 2: 5-6). Jesus is the only way to the Father. No salvation exists apart from him.
Paul: "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thess. 5:16-18). God can do anything. Before petitioning, thank God for his promise and what he can do. Then offer your requests, believing he can answer.
Paul: "Since . . you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God" (Col 3:1-3). Look to Jesus.
Paul: "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But .I press on toward the goal to win the prize (Phil 3:12-14)
David: "As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. .But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him" (Psalm 103: 13-17). God loves us.
Moses: "Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. . . from everlasting to everlasting you are God. You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.” A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by" (Psalm 90:1-4).
Proverbs 25:11-12: "Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a ruling rightly given. Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is the rebuke of a wise judge to a listening ear." "God, grant wisdom today to speak graciously and truthfully. We want to give you glory."
David: "Praise awaits you, our God, . . You who answer prayer, to you all people will come. When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave our transgressions. Blessed are those you choose . . . .to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house" (Ps 65:1-4).
David: "Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken" (Ps 62:1-2). Let's find rest in Jesus today. Let's remember that he is our rock and salvation. Let's hide ourselves in him today.
Ps. 49:12-16: "People, despite their wealth, do not endure; they are like the beasts that perish. This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers...But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead; he will surely take me to himself." Live for eternity.
Paul: "In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we . . .might be for the praise of his glory" (Eph 1:11). God is in control of all things. We can trust Him.
Paul: "God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you. .an heir" (Gal 4:6-7). God has redeemed us and then made us heirs of his eternal kingdom!
