Delighted & Contented

Proverbs 31:10-31 An excellent wife, who can find?For her worth is far above jewels.11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,And he will have no lack of gain.12 She does him good and not evilAll the days of her life.13 She looks for wool and flaxAnd works with her hands in delight.14 She is like merchant ships;She brings her food from afar.15 She rises also while it is still nightAnd gives food to her householdAnd portions to her maidens.16 She considers a field and buys it;From her earnings she plants a vineyard.17 She girds herself with strengthAnd…

Trustworthy: The Synonym of Faithfulness

Proverbs 4:22-27 For they are life to those who find themAnd health to all their body.23 Watch over your heart with all diligence,For from it flow the springs of life.24 Put away from you a deceitful mouthAnd put devious speech far from you.25 Let your eyes look directly aheadAnd let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.26 Watch the path of your feetAnd all your ways will be established.27 Do not turn to the right nor to the left;Turn your foot from evil.

The Kinsman Redeemer

Ephesians 2:16-18 16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; 18 for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

Jesus the Logos, Life, & Light

John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Pleasure in Participation

Philippians 4:15-23 15 You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone; 16 for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs. 17 Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account. 18 But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable…

Turn To God, Celebrate as a Member of God’s Family

Luke 15:11-32 11 And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property between them. 13 Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living. 14 And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be…

Struggling to Rejoicing

Philippians 4:4-9 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything…
