Where the Real News is the Good News

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
    What can mere mortals do to me?

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,

Teach me to do your will,
    for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
    lead me on level ground.

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.

You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Walk with the wise and become wise,
    for a companion of fools suffers harm.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help you.

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,for his compassions never fail.

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

As iron sharpens iron,
    so one person sharpens another.
