Morning Hope

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God… For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His precepts gain rich understanding.”

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”

“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.”

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”

“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.”

“Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.”

“May God be gracious to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us, that Your ways may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations.”

“Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”

“You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s perspective, and the world listens to them.”

“I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me. I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.”

“Test and prove what pleases the Lord. Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.”

If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.

“Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

“Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.”

“Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.”

“being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have full endurance and patience”

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”
