Proverbs 24:16a - For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again:
Am I perfect? Absolutely not! Am I better than anyone else? Nope! I have many faults. I have fallen many times, but I keep getting up. Thank God He forgives me, picks me up, sets me on my feet, and points me in the direction I should go.

Hebrews 13:5 - Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
This verse hit me right between the eyes! I often find it difficult to be content with what I have, but it is a command I need to obey. Lately, I've had it rough financially because my hours have been cut at work while prices (specifically gas prices) have been going steadily up. Still, God is still the same as He was when times were better, and I can be assured that He will provide everything I need.

Proverbs 21:23 - Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
This is a verse I need to keep in mind. I'm forever saying things before I think, and oh, the trouble I get into because of it! As the saying goes, I eat more shoe leather than I wear out. Lord, take control of my tongue today, and help me to think before I speak.

Acts 1:8 - But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Lately, I've had opportunities to witness to people around me. I tend to feel inadequate and unworthy, but according to this verse, God gives us power. I have found that to be true! Once I start speaking, God steps in and gives me the courage I need and the words to say. I thank God that He equips us to do His will.

Mark 1:35 - And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
Jesus is supposed to be our example, right? So, if He got up early in the morning to spend time with the Father, then maybe that's what we should do as well. I am not a morning person, but I have found that when I start my day with prayer, the whole day goes better. I thank Jesus for His example.

Nahum 1:7 - The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
I love the children's chorus "God Is So Good". It is true! When we are experiencing times of trouble, there is no one better to turn to. He is strong and more than capable of taking care of us. I thank God that He is always good!

John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jesus is the only way to Heaven. It is a popular belief these days that there are many ways to Heaven, and they are all equally as good. That is against what the Bible teaches. Without coming through Christ, you can not get to Heaven. I pray that everyone I know has come to Jesus and accepted His atonement on Calvary.
