Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105

Life is o unstable these days that I really must spend more time with a light to my path.

Be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong. Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

What a high standard we need to reach. Fortunately we do not need to do it in our own strength. We have a Help who can always guide us.

Sow your seed in the morning and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well. Ecclesiastes 11:6

I found this little gem almost by accident. What a wise thought. We do not know which of our endeavours will succeed, so we need to strive at everything. So good we have a Saviour who does know the future.

From Him and through Him and for Him are all things. To Him be the glory for ever, Amen. Romans 11:36

It’s awesome to realise that everything, just everything is under His control. We might not like some things but He knows best and He controls it all.

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God.

Romans 11:33

We have a God who is full of wisdom and knowledge, yet we, who have so little wisdom and knowledge, try to organise our own lives. Mankind’s reasoning is so strange. What do we know?

My peace I leave with you. John 14:27

Jesus told this to His disciples when He promised them the Holy Spirit. The promise is for us also.

The Sovereign Lord is my strength, He make my feet like the feet of a deer, He enables me to tread on the heights. Habakkuk 3:19

I realised once again that the word ‘sovereign’ contains the word ‘reign’. That certainly applies to our God. He reigns over everything.

Rejoice in the Lord always. Philippians 4:4

We probably can’t say it too often. As Christians we should not be miserable.

Be you doers of the Word and not hearers only.

How much more. Matthew 7:11

This is something we could say as God showers blessings on us. He gives us above what we can ask or think.
