Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for […]

Matthew 6:12  And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven (left, remitted, and let go of the debts, and have given up resentment against) our debtors. The key point that resonates with me in this prayer is we’re asking God to forgive us as we have forgiven others. The selfless act of forgiveness shown recently

Psalm 103:20Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His commandments, hearkening to the voice of His word. When it comes to putting the Word of God to work in our life we have to speak it, and when we do just as our text says angels are listening

Matthew 4:19 And He said to them, Come after Me [as disciples—letting Me be your Guide], follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men! Our whole life should be one big fishing excursion where we are leading others to Christ. Most of us are familiar with “Show and Tell” and that’s what we should be

Something I’ve come to appreciate is being able to share with some coworkers, the good news of how God brought me through some difficult seasons in my life. It still amazes me how God arranges our lives,

Hebrews 12:1 Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and

Exodus 20:12 Regard (treat with honor, due obedience, and courtesy) your father and mother, that your days may be long in the land the Lord your God gives you. How we treat our parents is the first Commandment with a promise, and the promise is that your days will be long which means you’ll live a

Joshua 24:15 If it is unacceptable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live; but as for me and my
