Before I Formed You...

~ Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV)

Delight in His Decrees

14 I rejoice in following your statutes
    as one rejoices in great riches.

    and consider your ways.
16 I delight in your decrees;
    I will not neglect your word.

~ Psalm 119:14-16 (NIV)

Whatever You Do

Bear with Each Other

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. ~ Colossians 3:13 (NIV)

    when will you come to me?

I will conduct the affairs of my house
    with a blameless heart.

Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
    And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
    and to walk humbly with your God.

~ Micah 6:8 (NIV)

His Commandments...

A Gentle Answer

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. ~ Proverbs 15:1 (NIV)

Choose Life

16 For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you... 19 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live ~ Deuteronomy 30:16, 19 (NIV)

All Things...

I can do all this through him who gives me strength. ~ Philippians 4:13 (NIV)

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. ~ Galatians 5:16 (NIV)

Contentment Is Great Gain

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain, 7 for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. 8 But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. ~ 1 Timothy 6:6-8 (NIV)
