Scriptures for Life
Christ Above All
Col. 2:8-10
8) Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world rather than from Christ.
9) For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.
10) So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
Government
Roman 13:1
The system by which a nation, state, or community is governed.
Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.
Money
Hebrew 13:5
A medium that can be exchanged for goods and services and is used as a measure of their values on the market, including among its forms a commodity such as gold, an officially issued coin or note, or a deposit in a checking account or other readily liquefiable account.
God’s Advice:
Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”
Promises of God
Phil. 4:19
And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Refresh
Prov. 4:25-26
25) Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
26) Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path.
Overcoming Fear
Joshua 1:9
What is fear ?
an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.
Fear is real and natural; at times it is more real to us than what we fear. Fear may leave us unsettled, insecure, doubting our self-worth, struggling with our sleep and health, and worrying about tomorrow or even if tomorrow will come. The issues that we need settled are these: How do we avoid fear when we can, how do we live with it when we must, and what can we learn from it?
God’s Promise:
9) Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do no be terrified or dismayed ( intimidated), for I’m the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
