The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 20:21 (NLT)
21 An inheritance obtained too early in life is not a blessing in the end.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 27:1 (NLT)
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid? The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?
The Word of God for encouragement:
Romans 16:25-27 (HCSB)
25 Now to Him who has power to strengthen you according to my gospel and the proclamation about Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept silent for long ages
26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic Scriptures, according to the command of the eternal God to advance the obedience of faith among all nations—
27 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ—to Him be the glory forever! Amen.
My observation:
Paul concludes his letter to the church at Rome giving glory to God. How fitting is that? We were made to give God glory; that is what we will spend eternity doing, so why not get started today?
In these concluding thoughts Paul gives the reason why he, and by revelation truth, we should give glory to God.
Paul points to the word he preached; he called it my gospel. He called it my gospel for this reason.
Galatians 1:12 (HCSB)
12 For I did not receive it from a human source and I was not taught it, but it came by a revelation from Jesus Christ.
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I praise you and I thank you for the privilege I have to walk with you daily through the word of God.
Father God, I am so grateful for the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding I receive from walking and talking with Jesus day after day in the word of God.
Finally Lord, I am appreciative for the platform that you have given me to tell others what you have told me. Father, I am so blessed to be able to serve my God, and to serve your people. In Jesus name, Amen.

Psalm 130:3-4 (HCSB)
3 Yahweh, if You considered sins, Lord, who could stand?
4 But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be revered.
Psalm 18:6 (HCSB)
6 I called to the LORD in my distress, and I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry to Him reached His ears.
