The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will preserve your soul. He will keep your life. The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in [everything that you do] From this time forth and forever.(Psalm 121:7-8) But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you [setting you on a firm foundation] and will protect and guard you from the evil one. (2 Thessalonians 3:3) Fear not, for I am with thee: turn not aside, for I am thy God Do not fear or be afraid of [anythin

Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. (Matthew 5:4) Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He is the Father who is compassionate and the God who gives comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3) Just as a father loves his children, So the LORD loves and have compassion on those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence], those who honor him. (Psalm 103:13) Her ways I have seen, and I have healed her, and I have comforted her, and

For by Him all things were created in heaven and on earth, [things] visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [that is, by His activity] and for Him. (Colossians 1:16) And with this Word, God created all things. Nothing was made without the Word. Everything that was created. (John 1:3) Our world isn’t leaderless, and our purpose isn’t self-made. You know what I teach and how I live. You know wha

And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. (1 John 5:20) Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true [supreme and sovereign] God, and [in the same manner know] Jesus [as the] Christ whom Y

For your gracious love precedes me, and I continuously walk according to your truth. (Psalm 26:3) I have chosen a life of faithfulness, I have chosen the way of truth, Thine ordinances have I set [before me]. (Psalm 119:30) Hear, my son, and receive my words; and the years of thy life shall be increased, that the resources of thy life may be many. I have taught you wisdom and the right way to live. Nothing will stand in your way if you walk wisely and you will not stumble w

May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amaz

Light arises in the darkness for the upright; He is gracious and compassionate and righteous (upright—in right standing with God). (Psalm 112:4) But the path of the just (righteous) is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day. (Proverbs 4:18) Arise! Shine brightly, be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the LORD; for your light has come, And the glory and brilliance of the LORD has risen

It shall also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear. (Isaiah 65:24) Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish. (Jeremiah 33:3) But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom once hidden [from man, but now revealed to us by God, that wisdom] which God predestin

Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. (Philippians 4:6) Be unceasing and persistent in prayer; in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18) Wait for and confidently expect the LORD. Wait

Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? For it is appropriate and it is Your due! For among all the wise men of the nations And in all their kingdoms, There is none like You.. (Jeremiah 10:7) Who is the man who fears the LORD [with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with submissive wonder]? He will teach him [through His word] in the way he should choose. (Psalm 25:12) The [reverent] fear of the LORD is the beginning (the prerequisite, the absolute essential, the

The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence and worship Him with obedience], And He rescues [each of] them. O taste and see that the LORD [our God] is good; How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him. (Psalm 34:7-8) Some trust in chariots and some in horses, But we will remember and trust in the name of the LORD our God. (Psalm 20:7) The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The

For You formed my innermost parts; You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. (Psalm 139:13-14) For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so

And do not be conformed to this world, Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, Don't be like the people of this world but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for y

In the presence of our God and Father, we never forget that your faith is active, your love is working hard, and your confidence in our Lord Jesus Christ is enduring. Brothers and sisters beloved by God, we know that He has chosen you; because our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with full assurance. You know how we lived among you for your benefit, And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, you welcomed the message with

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so. (Psalm 107:2) They will be called “The Holy People” and The People Redeemed by the LORD. Then you will be called, 'The LORD's Own People' (Isaiah 62:12) You will lead the people You have redeemed with Your faithful love; You will guide them to Your holy dwelling with Your strength. (Exodus 15:13) He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. (Psalm 23:3) But God led His own people forward like sheep And

For ever since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through His workmanship [all His creation, the wonderful things that He has made], so that they [who fail to believe and trust in Him] are without excuse and without defense. (Romans 1:20) The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And the expanse [of heaven], and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. One day tells a story to the

By this the children of God and the children of the devil are clearly identified: anyone who does not practice righteousness [who does not seek God’s will in thought, action, and purpose] is not of God, nor is the one who does not [unselfishly] love his [believing] brother. (1 John 3:10) Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]. (Ephesians 5:1) Whoever says he lives in Christ [that is, whoever says h

All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]. (2 Thessalonians 3:16) Do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who practices righteousness [the one who strives to live a consistentl

Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became a joy to me and the delight of my heart; For I belong to you, O LORD God of hosts. (Jeremiah 15:16) How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth! From Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to guide me, Your word is a lamp to walk by, Your word is a lamp that gives light wherever I walk, Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. (

Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]. (Philippians 4:6-7) Thou wilt keep us in perfect peace, for in thee we have trusted,
