Psalm 1:6 - For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Even when bad things come into my life, I have the reassurance that God knows exactly what is happening and has everything under control. I pity those who do not have that assurance. It's scary enough going through life with a sovereign God governing all aspects. I surely wouldn't want to do it alone. Thank you, Lord, for caring for me!

Psalms 90:2 - Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

This verse makes me stand in awe of my God! Not only did He create the world, but He has existed forever. He has no beginning and no end. When compared to the greatness of God's eternality, our existence seems so minuscule. The problems we face are but for a moment, while the good we do will last forever.

Luke 12:5 - But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

God should be feared. He made man, and He has the power to not only kill man but to cast him into hell. Unfortunately, anyone who does not accept Christ's payment for sin will spend eternity in hell. That is something to fear!

1 Peter 5:7 - Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Well, this is easier said than done. It is such a comfort to me, though, when my feeble brain can remember it. I have a lot of cares at the moment, and it is great to have someone to hand them over to. Thank you, Jesus, for caring for me!!

Revelation 3:15-16 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

God does not want half-hearted Christians. When people claim to be Christians while their actions belie their words, they make a mockery of God. If you are going to be a Christian, go all the way. Do all you can for God. After all, this life is short, and we must make the most of the time we have.

Joshua 1:8 - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Everyone wants to be successful, and many people have found a formula for success in this life. I have noticed, though, that oftentimes those who are successful in the eyes of the world are actually dissatisfied with themselves. With all they have gained, they have not found happiness. When we follow God's law, He will make us truly successful.

Proverbs 23:24 - The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

I can personally attest to the veracity of this verse. I am so proud of my Sam! He is a good Christian boy who is very polite and thoughtful toward others. He is a hard worker, too. I certainly have joy of him! Thank you, God, for my son.
