Peace

a WORD from God's Book
______________________________________________________________________
I listen carefully to what God the LORD is saying, for he speaks peace to his people, his faithful ones.

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, whose thoughts are fixed on you!

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns!

But he was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace. He was whipped, and we were healed!

And just as they were telling about it, Jesus himself was suddenly standing there among them. He said, "Peace be with you."

"I am leaving you with a gift--peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give isn't like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid.

Psalm 85:8 Isaiah 26:3 Isaiah 52:7 Isaiah 53:5 Luke 24:36 John 14:27

Kindness

a WORD from God's Book
____________________________________________________________________

My God! Now I am deeply discouraged, but I will remember your kindness

The LORD is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness.

When she (Wisdom / Holy Spirit) speaks, her words are wise, and kindness is the rule when she gives instructions.

But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness

Never let loyalty and kindness get away from you! Wear them like a necklace; write them deep within your heart.

The LORD Almighty says: Judge fairly and honestly, and show mercy and kindness to one another.

Psalm 42:6 Psalm 145:17 Proverbs 31:26 Galatians 5:22 Proverbs 3:3 Zechariah 7:9

Rely

a WORD from God's Book
________________________________________________________________________

When the wicked die, their hopes all perish, for they rely on their own feeble strength.

"Do not rely on mediums and psychics, for you will be defiled by them. I, the LORD, am your God.

We don't have to rely on the world's guesses and opinions. We didn't learn this by reading books or going to school; we learned it from God, who taught us person-to-person through Jesus, and we're passing it on to you in the same firsthand, personal way.

Who among you fears the LORD and obeys his servant? If you are walking in darkness, without a ray of light, trust in the LORD and rely on your God.

The LORD watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love.

We know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

Proverbs 11:7 Leviticus 19:31 1 Corinthians 2:13 Isaiah 50:10 Psalm 33:18 1 John 4:16

Happiness

a WORD from God's Book
_________________________________________________________________
Those who love money will never have enough. How absurd to think that wealth brings true happiness!

Make me walk along the path of your commands, for that is where my happiness is found.

"So don't be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.

Go then, eat your bread in happiness and drink your wine with a cheerful heart; for God has already approved your works.

Pray for the happiness of those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you.

How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who announces peace and brings good news of happiness, who announces salvation, and says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

Ecclesiastes 5:10 Psalm 119:35 Luke 12:32 Ecclesiastes 9:7 Luke 6:28 Isaiah 52:7

Joy

a WORD from God's Book
____________________________________________________________________

Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.

Oh, what joy for those whose rebellion is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight! Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of sin, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!


I am overcome with joy because of your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul.

But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, "The LORD is great!"

The LORD is my strength, my shield from every danger. I trust in him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

The poor will eat and be satisfied. All who seek the LORD will praise him. Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy.

Psalm 34:5 Psalm 32:1,2 Psalm 31:7 Psalm 40:16 Psalm 28:7 Psalm 22:26

Wait

a WORD from God's Book
_______________________________________________________________

Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from Me”

Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. They give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God's promises.

But if we look forward to something we don't have yet, we must wait patiently and confidently.

But those who wait on the LORD will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive everything promised to us who are right with God through faith.

Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Live in such a way that God's love can bless you as you wait for the eternal life that our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy is going to give you.

Acts 1:4 Romans 15:4 Romans 8:25 Isaiah 40:31 Galatians 5:5 1 Corinthians 1:7 Jude 1:21

Restore

a WORD from God's Book
_______________________________________________________

Restore our fortunes, LORD, as streams renew the desert.

He says, "You will do more than restore the people of Israel to me. I will make you a light to the Gentiles, and you will bring my salvation to the ends of the earth."

Restore us, O LORD, and bring us back to you again! Give us back the joys we once had!

In just a short time, he will restore us so we can live in his presence.

[ The LORD Will Restore His People ] Ask the LORD for rain in the spring, and he will give it. It is the LORD who makes storm clouds that drop showers of rain so that every field becomes a lush pasture.

[ Restore Wandering Believers ] My dear brothers and sisters, if anyone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back again, 20you can be sure that the one who brings that person back will save that sinner from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.

Psalm 126:4 Isaiah 49:6 Lamentations 5:21 Hosea 6:2 Zechariah 10:1 James 5:19

Search

a WORD from God's Book
___________________________________________________________

[ The Unbelieving People Warned ] Later Jesus said to them again, "I am going away. You will search for me and die in your sin. You cannot come where I am going."

"You search the Scriptures because you believe they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!

Happy are those who obey his decrees and search for him with all their hearts.

"I love all who love me. Those who search for me will surely find me.

But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, "The LORD is great!"

Search the book of the LORD, and see what he will do. He will not miss a single detail. Not one of these birds and animals will be missing, and none will lack a mate, for the LORD has promised this. His Spirit will make it all come true.


John 8:21 John 5:39 Psalm 119:2 Proverbs 8:17 Psalm 40:16 Isaiah 34:16

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.

The Scriptures provide precedent: Look! I'm setting a stone in Zion (Jesus Christ), a cornerstone in the place of honor. Whoever trusts in this stone as a foundation will never have cause to regret it.

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 God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

I will talk to the Father, and he'll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you.

Psalm 119:169 1 Peter 2:6 John 8:12 2 Corinthians 9:8 John 14:16

a WORD from God's Book
_________________________________________________________________

For the LORD God is our light and protector. He gives us grace and glory. No good thing will the LORD withhold from those who do what is right.

"The LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is good and leads you along the paths you should follow.

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns!

Sing to the LORD; bless his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.

I have not kept this good news hidden in my heart; I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power. I have told everyone in the great assembly of your unfailing love and faithfulness.

Overcome

a WORD from God's Book
_____________________________________________________________

You are from God little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood [ Or darkness, and the darkness has not overcome] it.

"These things I have spoken to you, so in Me you may have peace In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."

They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers."

Return

a WORD from God's Book
______________________________________________________

I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when I, the Son of Man, return, how many will I find who have faith?"

They said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring at the sky? Jesus has been taken away from you into heaven. And someday, just as you saw him go, he will return!"

"Stay awake and be prepared, because you do not know the day or hour of my return.”

We are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.

As we talk to our God and Father about you, we think of your faithful work, your loving deeds, and your continual anticipation of the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And now the prize awaits me--the crown of righteousness that the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that great day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his glorious return.

Our witness that he is the means to forgiveness of sins is backed up by the witness of all the prophets."

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John's witness and followed Jesus.

a WORD from God's Book
___________________________________________________________

He was absolutely convinced that God was able to do anything he promised.

"What do you mean, `If I can'?" Jesus asked. "Anything is possible if a person believes."

You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, because the work of the Son brings glory to the Father. Yes, ask anything in my name, and I will do it!

Listen to me! You can pray for anything, and if you believe, you will have it.

"I also tell you this: If two of you agree down here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.

"My thoughts are completely different from yours," says the LORD. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.

O LORD, you alone can heal me; you alone can save. My praises are for you alone!

He forgives your sins--every one. He heals your diseases--every one.

Then words of praise will be on their lips. May they have peace, both near and far, for I will heal them all," says the LORD.

Jesus said, "I will come and heal him."

They were completely amazed. Again and again they said, "Everything he does is wonderful. He even heals those who are deaf and mute."

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received!
