Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” ***** Psalm 77:20 (NIV) You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. Thought: God still uses people every day to accomplish His plans. Are you available? ***** Today’s Scripture: I Peter 2:17 (NLT): Show respect for everyone. Love your Christian brothers and sisters. Fear God. Show respect for the king. Today’s Thought: Respect & love are very important. When someone looks at your life, what will they say? You are full of love or hate? If hate, you can start over today. Today’s Prayer: Lord, thank You for loving me. I ask that You help to me love & respect others. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen! ***** Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail. — Isaiah. 51:6 ***** O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Psalm 8:1 ***** Psalm 119:114 You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word. ***** Matthew 22:37 NIV Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." ***** 2 Corinthians 3:15-18 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. ***** But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:7

So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord-who is the Spirit-makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. - 2 Corinthians 3:18 ***** Ecclesiastes 5:19-20 — Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil — this is a gift of God. They seldom reflect on the days of their life, because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart. ***** James 1:22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. ***** Zechariah 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. ***** Psalm 119:111 NIV Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart. ***** “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. Ephesians 4:26-27 ***** Psalm 84:1-2 (NIV) - How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Proverbs 2:6 For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. ***** Colossians 3:15 — Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. ***** 1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at.

1 John 3:18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. ***** Isaiah 50:7b (NIV) Therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame. Thought: Your resolve comes from your Redeemer. ***** Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us. - 1 John 4:11-12 ***** Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. —Acts 8:4 ***** So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. — Galatians 5:16 ***** Jeremiah 33:2-3 - 2 “This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it—the Lord is his name: 3 ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’ ***** 1 Timothy 6:17-19 NIV Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. ***** I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you. Isaiah 44:22 ****** Psalm 84:1-2 (NIV) - How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. ***** Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God's right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. - Colossians 3:1-2 ***** Psalm 119:160 All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal. ***** 1 John 4:21 NIV And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother. ***** Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27 ***** Mark 11:25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

Isaiah 50:10 (NIV) Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord... Thought: There's a turning point in every tough spot. Jesus always hears His name whether you whisper or yell. ***** Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. - 1 Peter 3:15 ***** Today’s Scripture: I Peter 2:25 (NLT): Once you were wandering like lost sheep. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls. Today’s Thought: Isn’t it wonderful to know that God guards our soul? This doesn’t mean we will not have trials. It does mean, however, that we have someone to lean on when life gets almost unbearable. He will never leave nor forsake you (see John 14:16) and will never put on you more then you can bear. Today’s Prayer: Lord, thank You for guarding my soul & never leaving my. I pray that You help me put my full trust in You. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen! ***** Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us. — 1 Peter 2:12 ***** Psalm 149:4 For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. ***** Psalm 119:105 NIV Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. ***** Romans 10:9-10 - 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

Psalm 103:12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. ***** Luke 12:6-7 - 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. ***** "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. — Matthew 6:19-21 ***** Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. ***** Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.

Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” ***** Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. - Ephesians 4:31-32 ***** Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. — Colossians 4:5 ***** Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. ***** Hebrews 13:5 NIV Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. ***** Matthew 5:44-48 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. ***** Psalm 37:3-4 (NIV) - Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. ***** Lamentations 3:31-32 - 31 For no one is cast off by the Lord forever. 32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.
