a Word from God's Book
______________________________________________________
Don't be so naive and self-confident. You're not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it's useless. Cultivate God-confidence.
If our conscience is clear, we can come to God with bold confidence
The Fear-of-GOD builds up confidence, and makes a world safe for your children.
And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we are like Christ here in this world.
While they were praying, the place where they were meeting trembled and shook. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak God's Word with fearless confidence.
1 Corinthians 10:12 1 John 3:21 Proverbs 14:26 1 John 4:17 Acts 4:31

Declare
a WORD from God's Book
_____________________________________________________
O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.
You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.
It was for us, too, assuring us that God will also declare us to be righteous if we believe in God, who brought Jesus our Lord back from the dead.

Provide
a WORD from God's Book
_____________________________________________________
Let my cry come right into your presence, GOD; provide me with the insight that comes only from your Word.
Jesus once again addressed them: "I am the world's Light. No one who follows me stumbles around in the darkness. I provide plenty of light to live in."
And don't worry about food--what to eat and drink. Don't worry whether God will provide it for you.
God will provide rain for the seeds you sow. The grain that grows will be abundant. Your cattle will range far and wide.
And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.
Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night.
Psalm 119:169 John 8:12 Luke 12:29 Isaiah 30:23 2 Corinthians 9:8 Philippians 2:15

Pride
a WORD from God's Book
___________________________________________________
For the world offers only the lust for physical pleasure, the lust for everything we see, and pride in our possessions. These are not from the Father. They are from this evil world.
They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.
The day is coming when your pride will be brought low and the LORD alone will be exalted.
"And if they do cry out and God does not answer, it is because of their pride.
But it is wrong to say God doesn't listen, to say the Almighty isn't concerned.
After all, what gives us hope and joy, and what is our proud reward and crown? It is you! Yes, you will bring us much joy as we stand together before our Lord Jesus when he comes back again. For you are our pride and joy.

God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was excellent in every way.
Listen to me! For I have excellent things to tell you. Everything I say is right.
"Salt is excellent. But if the salt goes flat, it's useless, good for nothing. "Are you listening to this? Really listening?"
God's kingdom is like a jewel merchant on the hunt for excellent pearls.
Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

Their (our) responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ, until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature and full grown in the Lord, measuring up to the full stature of Christ.
If we love each other, God lives in us, and his love has been brought to full expression through us
So I pray that God, who gives you hope, will keep you happy and full of peace as you believe in him. May you overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.
For the word of God is full of living power. It is sharper than the sharpest knife, cutting deep into our innermost thoughts and desires. It exposes us for what we really are.

Skilled living gets its start in the Fear-of-GOD, insight into life from knowing a Holy God.
Give me insight so I can do what you tell me-- my whole life one long, obedient response.
GOD; provide me with the insight that comes only from your Word.
Job 28:12 Job 32:8 Job 28:28 Proverbs 9:10 Psalm 119:34 Psalm 119:169

a WORD from God's Book
Trust
________________________________________________
I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the darkness.
But Jesus ignored their comments and said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid. Just trust me."
We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done.
You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him, you trust him; and even now you are happy with a glorious, inexpressible joy
And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love.
John 12:46 Mark 5:36 Romans 3:22 1 Peter 1:8 Ephesians 3:17

a WORD from God's Book
Touch
________________________________________________
They say, "Keep your distance. Don't touch me. I'm holier than thou.' These people gag me. I can't stand their stench.
As the sun went down that evening, people throughout the village brought sick family members to Jesus. No matter what their diseases were, the touch of his hand healed every one.
The sick begged him to let them touch even the fringe of his robe, and all who touched it were healed.
Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch the untouchables. Kick out the demons. You have been treated generously, so live generously.
I want you woven into a tapestry of love, in touch with everything there is to know of God. Then you will have minds confident and at rest, focused on Christ, God's great mystery.
Isaiah 65:5 Luke 4:40 Matthew 14:36 Matthew 10:8 Colossians 2:2

a WORD from God's Book
Fully
_______________________________________________
Epaphras … always prays earnestly for you, asking God to make you strong and perfect, fully confident of the whole will of God.
let us go right into the presence of God, with true hearts fully trusting him. For our evil consciences have been sprinkled with Christ's blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.
It is God's way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do.
So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything
May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Colossians 4:12 Hebrews 10:22 2 Timothy 3:17 James 1:4 Ephesians 3:19

a WORD from God's Book
Consider
_____________________________________________
We pleaded with you, encouraged you, and urged you to live your lives in a way that God would consider worthy. For he called you into his Kingdom to share his glory.
[ Faith Under Pressure ] Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides.
[ Patience in Suffering ] You must be patient as you wait for the Lord's return. Consider the farmers who eagerly look for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They patiently wait for the precious harvest to ripen.
I once thought all these things were so very important, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done.
"Listen, Job; stop and consider the wonderful miracles of God!

a WORD from God's Book
Powerful
___________________________________________________
Words are powerful; take them seriously.
This Son perfectly mirrors God, and is stamped with God's nature. He holds everything together by what he says--powerful words!
God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon's scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey.
I have no interest in giving you a chatty account of my adventures, only the wondrously powerful and transforming present words and deeds of Christ in me that triggered a believing response among the outsiders.
It's news I'm most proud to proclaim, this extraordinary Message of God's powerful plan to rescue everyone who trusts him, starting with Jews and then right on to everyone else!
Pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with.
Matthew 12:36 Hebrews 1:3 Hebrews 4:12 Romans 15:18 Romans 1:16 James 5:16
