The Word for wisdom:
Proverbs 10:9 (HCSB)
The one who lives with integrity lives securely, but whoever perverts his ways will be found out.
Proverbs 28:18 (HCSB)
The one who lives with integrity will be helped, but one who distorts right and wrong will suddenly fall.
The Word for inspiration:
Psalm 119:127-128 (HCSB)
127 Since I love Your commands more than gold, even the purest gold, 128 I carefully follow all Your precepts and hate every false way.
The Word for encouragement:
John 4:23 (HCSB)
But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Yes, the Father wants such people to worship Him.
My observation:
Living in this world has never been easy, and that is certainly true of the times in which we are currently living. We are living in a day when a vast number of people are rejecting that which is precious for that which is worthless. The way of the world is to value that which is temporal, and reject the things that are eternal.
In spite of the difficulties and troubles of our current circumstances, and the problems and the troubles in our world, there is hope for those who seek and embrace the truth. The troubles and problems you are facing are only for a season, if you are a true worshiper.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (HCSB)
17 For our momentary light affliction is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory. 18 So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
As you think about these scriptures, allow them to sink deep into your heart. Then ask yourself these questions: Is there a prayer to pray? Is there a song to sing? Is there something to thank God for? Let us who are true worshipers exalt his name together.
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I am so grateful that you sent Jesus to be the Savior of the world, and that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Father, I thank you that because of Jesus I have hope for today, and a bright future for all of my tomorrows. Father, I thank you that I have found the truth, and the truth has set me free.
John 14:6 (HCSB)
Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Acts 4:12 (HCSB)
There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people, and we must be saved by it."
