The Bible is our greatest treasure.
May God give us hearts to cherish it as we ought.
The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold.
Psalm 19:9-10 NIV

heaven
If God didn’t want us to get excited about our inheritance,
He wouldn’t have told us about it.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.
1 Peter 1:3-4 ESV

trouble vs. trust
We can either be troubled,
or we can be confident in God;
being both is not an option.
“Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me.”

No matter how busy we are on the outside,
our insides work best in the still position.
Be still, and know that I am God.

humility
There is absolutely nothing we can do to earn God’s favor.
That is humbling.
So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.
And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Romans 9:16, Micah 6:8 ESV

service
Every missed opportunity to do good
is a missed blessing for at least two people.
Let’s ask God to help us seize the day–
and every good opportunity it offers.
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:9-10 ESV

God our strength in trials
God, Himself, with us and in us
and all around us is our strength.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God…Fear not, for I am with you.

eternity
Our time on earth is but a moment,
especially when compared to eternity.
Let’s honor God during our moment.
As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.

faith
Our faith will only be as strong
as we believe our God to be.
I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Great is our Lord, and abundant in power.

Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit power sometimes comes as peace,
in the midst of turmoil,
joy, in the midst of heartache,
hope, in the midst of despair.
Sometimes His strength is experienced as
forgiveness, instead of anger,
love, instead of revenge,
faith, instead of giving in to all sorts of fear,
or courage to speak the truth.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Acts 1:8 ESV

sin
God will give us victory over sin,
but sometimes He waits until we ask Him to.
Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent of hidden faults. Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.

pride
Pride wears many disguises;
sometimes we don’t even realize
when we’ve put one of them on.
All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time.

faith
It’s impossible to have too much faith in God–
but it sure would be fun to try!
Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what He promised.

Let’s make it our aim to trust God
at the first sign of trouble,
rather than waiting until He gets us out of it.
