Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. Psalm 103:1-5. God desires that you live in the fullness of everything that He has for you. When you invite Jesus

I will be careful to live a blameless life- when will you come to help me? I will lead a life of integrity in my own home. I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar. I hate all who deal crookedly; I will have nothing to do with them. Psalm 101:2-3. Who are you when no one is looking? Are you the same person at home as you are outside of your home?

My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the Lord. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. Isaiah 55:8. We're like a piece in a jigsaw puzzle. We can see what pieces we're connected to and sometimes the pieces they're connected to, but we can't see the whole picture. God has a top-down view that transcends time so He can see the beginning from the end. He sees the whole picture, how it's meant to look and what pieces need to be arranged to complete th

Give me an eagerness for your laws rather than a love for money! Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word. Psalm 119:36-37. There are people who have everything and yet they have nothing. Worldly gain cannot fill an empty heart, or the need for purpose and fulfillment. Only God can give you peace beyond words and a sense of eternal destiny and purpose. God's Word is His blueprint for life. God who transcends time and space has given us His

The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth. Psalm 97:5. It's all about perspectives, what seems so large and insurmountable to us, is but a speck to the one who can hold the world in His hands. When we trust God and put our faith in Him for the breakthrough in a situation, we must believe that God will make the impossible possible. We must stir up our faith by looking at all the incredible things God has done in His Word, in the lives of oth

Gideon son of Joash was threshing wheat at the bottom of a winepress to hide the grain from the Midianites. The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, "Mighty hero, the Lord is with you!" Judges 6:11b-12. God saw the greatness in Gideon that He couldn't see in himself. Gideon was in a winepress hiding from his enemies, when God called him a Mighty hero!

Without oxen a stable stays clean, but you need a strong ox for a large harvest. Proverbs 14:4. Sometimes things will need to get messy before you see growth. In our minds we may have everything worked out, what we are going to do and how a situation will pan out, but that's not necessarily God's way. God sees everything you need to do and His ways are not our ways. We say, "we need to be ready", or "I still have things to sort out", but God says, "trust me and follow what I

The Lord says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation." Psalm 91:14-16. Jesus desires only the very best for your life. As you walk with Him and keep close to Him each day, He'll cover you with His protection. As you look to Him to be your strength, your protector

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Psalm 91:1-2,4.

Then Jesus said to the disciples, "Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, 'May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you've received it, it will be yours. But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your

Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. Psalm 90:12. We often forget how short life is and keep putting things off until tomorrow. We need to step back and make sure we focus on what's really important rather than just getting caught up in the busyness of life. Make sure you tell those who are really close to you that you love them, make sure there's no room for regret should that no longer become a possibility. If God has put something on your

Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble. Proverbs 13:20. Choosing your friends and who you associate with will impact your life. There's an old saying " Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are". If you associate with wise people you'll learn, get good advice and become wiser. If you associate with foolish people you may find yourself caught up in their problems or even worse, their addictions that will only drag you down. God onl

Wise people think before they act; fools don't-and even brag about their foolishness. Proverbs 13:16. Never make an irrevocable decision in anger or on the spur of the moment. Sleep on a crucial decision, pray and ask God for the wisdom you need, and He'll guide you. God desires that you live in peace and not in regret. A fool makes a decision they can't take back that hurts themselves and others. God will give you the wisdom to work through crucial situations. Sometimes He'l
