Where the Real News is the Good News

Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
    but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

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.

‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

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

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For your ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all your paths.

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

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Cast your cares on the Lord
    and he will sustain you;
he will never let
    the righteous be shaken.

But you, Lord, are a shield around me,
    my glory, the One who lifts my head high.

I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

You are my refuge and my shield;
    I have put my hope in your word.

Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
    and he will establish your plans.
