My absolute favourite is..

But seek first His Kingdom and His rigtheousness.. and all these things shall be added unto you.. Matthew 6:33

Every time I read this.. it helps me to focus on God and that ALL my needs are met in Him!!

 

[J4Jesus]

Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

 

[mrstoadyfrog]

Luke 4:18-19
18 “ The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Proverbs 3:5

Psa 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
Psa 27:2 When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
Psa 27:3 Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.
Psa 27:4 One thing I have desired of the LORD,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD,
And to inquire in His temple.
Psa 27:5 For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.
Psa 27:6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
Psa 27:7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
Psa 27:8 When You said, "Seek My face,"
My heart said to You, "Your face, LORD, I will seek."
Psa 27:9 Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
Psa 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the LORD will take care of me.
Psa 27:11 Teach me Your way, O LORD,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
Psa 27:12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
Psa 27:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.
Psa 27:14 Wait on the LORD;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!

Psalm 18:1 I will love You, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;

So shall I be saved from my enemies.

“ Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the LORD,

“ Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

1 Corinthians 13:1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

3 And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.



Sometimes we focus on vss. 4-8, which I do frequently, but this is a powerfully sobering portion of scripture. We focus on the gifts of the spirit, and on speaking in tongues. That's a good thing to do, not knocking tongues at all. I speak in tongues many times during the day and am very grateful for this means of communication to God. I'm also grateful for the operation of the gift of tongues with interpretation when we come together. But this tells me what I sound like as I speak in tongues if I don't have love.

We focus on faith, another great thing. Without it we can't please God. Yet, if I have faith to move mountains and don't have love, I'm nothing. My faith should be motivated by love.

We hear a lot about giving, another great thing. Again, it must be motivated by love, or it is nothing.

hey, you were able to post here on this long thread. Does that mean it's fixed for you?

Hey! My fav:

Romans 8:1-4
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

 

[J4Jesus]

Psalm 1

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers

 

[J4Jesus]

Isaiah 61

1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

 

[CindyisHis]

2 Corinthians 3:16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
