Galatians 6:7-10


Galatians 6:7-10

Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return. The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.

Psalm 59:1-5, 16-17


Psalm 59:1-5, 16-17

Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
protect me from those who rise against me.

Deliver me from workers of iniquity,
and save me from men of bloodshed.

See how they lie in wait for me.
Fierce men conspire against me
for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.

For no fault of my own,
they move swiftly to attack me.
Arise to help me, and take notice.

O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel,
rouse Yourself to punish all the nations;
show no mercy to the wicked traitors.

But I will sing of Your strength
and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning.
For You are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.

To You, O my strength, I sing praises,
for You, O God, are my fortress,
my God of loving devotion.

2 Timothy 1:3-14


2 Timothy 1:3-14

I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day, greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy, when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

Isaiah 26:1-9


Isaiah 26:1-9

In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city;
salvation is established as its walls and ramparts

Open the gates so a righteous nation may enter—
one that remains faithful.

You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind,
because he trusts in You.

Trust in the LORD forever,
because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal.

For He has humbled those who dwell on high;
He lays the lofty city low.
He brings it down to the ground;
He casts it into the dust.

Feet trample it down—
the feet of the oppressed,
the steps of the poor.

The path of the righteous is level;
You clear a straight path for the upright.

Yes, we wait for You, O LORD;
we walk in the path of Your judgments.
Your name and renown
are the desire of our souls.

My soul longs for You in the night;
indeed, my spirit seeks You at dawn.
For when Your judgments come upon the earth,
the people of the world learn righteousness.
