Matthew 10:27-33 [Jesus said] What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops. Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, fear the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. “Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without the knowledge and consent of your…

Malachi 3:6 “Certainly I, the Lord, do not change.” Dear Heavenly Father, This verse of Malachi is such a wonderful reminder for us. You are our loving Father establishing your plan of salvation for fallen mankind from the beginning of the world. You have not changed the rules but made it perfectly clear what you will was for us in your word: we were to love you above all other things and love those around us as we love ourselves. Your…

John 5:39 You search the Scriptures because you think you have eternal life in them. They testify about me! Dear Lord Jesus, You were scolding the Jews in their unbelief as they thought somehow Moses was of higher authority than you. The Jews searched the scriptures as a rule book. They looked for all the works they had to do and the different ways to justify themselves; they even created more rules to accomplish this. But, in the end, they…

Romans 6:3  Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Dear Lord Jesus, Thank you for coming into this world to save us from all our sins. Our salvation came to us because you went to the cross and died for our sins. We should never take this gift for granted. It seems too simple; all we have to do is believe. That is the truth; salvation comes…

Psalm 103:11-13 Yes, as high as the heavens are above the earth, so powerful is his mercy toward those who fear him. As distant as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our rebellious acts from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him. Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for being our loving and compassionate Father. For sending your Son to take on this tremendous load of our…

Romans 5:9-11  Therefore, since we have now been justified by his blood, it is even more certain that we will be saved from God’s wrath through him. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, it is even more certain that, since we have been reconciled, we will be saved by his life. And not only is this so, but we also go on rejoicing confidently in God through our Lord…

Psalm 1 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked, who does not stand on the path with sinners, and who does not sit in a meeting with mockers. But his delight is in the teaching of the Lord, and on his teaching, he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted beside streams of water, which yields its fruit in season, and its leaves do not wither. Everything he does prospers.…

John 8:12 When Jesus spoke to them again, he said, “I am the Light of the World. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Dear Lord Jesus, In the beginning, you created the light with your heavenly Father. Light came from you, but in the fall of man into sin, we were separated from you into sin’s darkness. As Eve brought mankind into the darkness of sin, so too does evening bring…

Ephesians 2:17-22 He also came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him, we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. So then, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household. You have been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the Cornerstone. In him, the whole building…

Isaiah 42:5-7 This is what the true God says, the Lord who creates the heavens and stretches them out, who spreads out the earth and everything that it produces, who gives breath to the people on it and life to those who walk on it. I am the Lord. I have called you in righteousness. I will hold on to your hand, and I will guard you. I will appoint you to be a covenant for the people, to be a light for the nations, to…
