05/08 Ephesians 6:10
A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
STRONG
To be strong in the Lord requires trust and belief.
Trust is learned as we know Him better.
It takes time to know Him.
We cannot know unless we study His Word.
The Word is His communication to us.
Read, listen, obey-that is doing the Word.
Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power.
05/07 John 14:27
“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
PEACE
The world has no peace, only chaos and hardness.
Jesus gifts us with peace from the Father.
It is supernatural peace.
It is administered by the Holy Spirit.
He brings us the power of God-the gift of peace.

Power, love, and self-discipline?
That is from the Lord!
05/05 1 Corinthians 16:13

WORLD

To be courageous and strong.
The Lord God Almighty revels in giving his power to the weak.
I am weak but He is strong.
Praise God.

Let your Father handle it.
He will do it.
It will be perfectly timed.
Jesus loves you.

I am grateful that He is-I need forgiveness and love,
Far beyond anything I can understand!

Thank you Lord for saving me. Thank you Lord for loving me.
04/29 2 CORINTHIANS 13:11
Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.
WITH YOU
God is with us and will be with you if you choose to spend time with Him,
Listen to Him,
Obey Him.
Otherwise our sin pushes Him out of our sight.
He isn’t gone, we just don’t listen to him.
Repent.
Listen to the Lord.
He will give you His peace and joy.
