This has been the scripture I have really been trying to apply to my life:

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

"God will not make me think like Jesus, I have to do it myself; I have to bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." Oswald Chambers, "My Utmost For His Highest".

1 Peter 1:15-16
But as He who has called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, for it is written be holy for I am holy.

Matthew 5:3-12

3"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Genesis 1:27

So God created man in his own image,
In the image of God he created him;
Male and female he created them.

 

[CindyisHis]

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.

8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

 

[angelwind]

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. Ps 91:3

 

[mama3hmscool]

I was led to this passage when I was reading an article in "the Voice of the Martyrs". I felt led by the Spirit to share this with all of you. Sometimes we all need a little reminding.

1 Corinthians 3:18-4:5
18 Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness", 20 and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile." 21 So then, no more boasting about men! All things are yours, 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future--all are yours, 23 and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.
Chapter 4 So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the secret things of God. 2 Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. 3 I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

From Life Application Bible (NIV):
3:18-21 Paul was not telling the Corinthian believers to neglect the pursuit of knowledge. He was warning them that if worldly wisdom holds them back from God, it is not wisdom at all. God's way of thinking is far more valuable, even though it may seem foolish to the world. (1:27)
3:22 Paul says that both life and death are ours. While nonbelievers are victims of life, swept along by its current and wondering if there is meaning to it, believers can use life well because they understand its true purpose. Nonbelievers can only fear death. For believers, however, death holds no terrors because Christ has conquered all fears (1John 4:18). Death is only the beginning of eternal life with God.
4:1, 2 A servant does what his master tells him to do. We must do what God tells us to do in the Bible and through his Holy Spirit. Each day God presents us with needs and opportunities that challenge us to do what we know is right.
4:5 It is tempting to judge fellow Christians, evaluating whether or not they are good followers of Christ. But only God knows a person's heart, and he is the only one with the right to judge. We are to confront those who are sinning (5:12, 13), but we must not judge who is a better servant for Christ. When you judge someone, you invariably consider yourself better--and that is arrogant.

 

[CindyisHis]

Romans 8:23 And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us.

Isn't it nice to remember that we have this to look forward to?

Isn't it nice to remember that we have this to look forward to? Amen to that Cindy.

Psalm 40:1-3
1 I watited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. 2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. 3 He has put a new song in my mouth--Praise to our God; many will see it and fear, and will trust in the Lord.

 

[CindyisHis]

Jeremiah 15:16 Your words were found, and I ate them,
And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
For I am called by Your name,
O LORD God of hosts.

 

[mightywarrior77]

 

[fieldlily]

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

 

[Savedsis]

When (the Holy Spirit) comes, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. (John 16:8) KJV

 

[CindyisHis]

Jeremiah 17:7 But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
8 They are like trees planted along a riverbank,
with roots that reach deep into the water.
Such trees are not bothered by the heat
or worried by long months of drought.
Their leaves stay green,
and they never stop producing fruit.

 

[LamorakDesGalis]

Since then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

2 Timothy 2:15

Be diligent to aprove yourself to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
