Matthew 14:24

Matthew 14:24 (MSG)

1 Corinthians 14:1

1 Corinthians 14:1 (MSG)
Go after a life of love as if your life depended on it—because it does. Give yourselves to the gifts God gives you. Most of all, try to proclaim his truth. If you praise him in the private language of tongues, God understands you but no one else does, for you are sharing intimacies just between you and him. But when you proclaim his truth in everyday speech, you're letting others in on the truth so that they can grow and be strong and experience his presence with you.

Psalm 91:14

Psalm 91:14 (MSG)
"If you'll hold on to me for dear life," says god, "I'll get you out of any trouble. I'll give you the best of care if you'll only get to know and trust me. Call me and I'll answer, be at your side in bad times; I'll rescue you, then throw you a party. I'll give you a long life, give you a long drink of salvation!"

Psalm 91:1

Psalm 91:1 (MSG)
You who sit down in the High God's presence, spend the night in Shaddai's shadow, Say this: "god, you're my refuge. I trust in you and I'm safe!" That's right—he rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards. His huge outstretched arms protect you— under them you're perfectly safe; his arms fend off all harm. Fear nothing—not wild wolves in the night, not flying arrows in the day, Not disease that prowls through the darkness, not disaster that erupts at high noon. Even though others succumb all around, drop like flies right and left, no harm will even graze you. You'll stand untouched, watch it all from a distance, watch the wicked turn into corpses. Yes, because god's your refuge, the High God your very own home, Evil can't get close to you, harm can't get through the door. He ordered his angels to guard you wherever you go. If you stumble, they'll catch you; their job is to keep you from falling. You'll walk unharmed among lions and snakes, and kick young lions and serpents from the path.

Ecclesiastes 5:16

Ecclesiastes 5:16 (MSG)
This is bad luck, for sure-naked he came, naked he went. So what was the point of working for a salary of smoke?

Ecclesiastes 5:13

Ecclesiastes 5:13 (MSG)
Here's a piece of bad luck I've seen happen: A man hoards far more wealth than is good for him And then loses it all in a bad business deal. He fathered a child but hasn't a cent left to give him. He arrived naked from the womb of his mother; He'll leave in the same condition—with nothing. This is bad luck, for sure—naked he came, naked he went. So what was the point of working for a salary of smoke? All for a miserable life spent in the dark?

Ecclesiastes 5:12

Ecclesiastes 5:12 (MSG)
Hard and honest work earns a good night's sleep, Whether supper is beans or steak. But a rich man's belly gives him insomnia.

Ecclesiastes 5:10

Ecclesiastes 5:10 (MSG)
The one who loves money is never satisfied with money, Nor the one who loves wealth with big profits. More smoke.

Ecclesiastes 5:2

Ecclesiastes 5:2 (MSG)
Don't shoot off your mouth, or speak before you think. Don't be too quick to tell God what you think he wants to hear. God's in charge, not you—the less you speak, the better.

Ecclesiastes 4:12

Ecclesiastes 4:12 (MSG)
By yourself you're unprotected. With a friend you can face the worst. Can you round up a third? A three-stranded rope isn't easily snapped.

And if one falls down, the other helps, But if there's no one to help, tough!

Ecclesiastes 4:9

Ecclesiastes 3:22

Ecclesiastes 3:17

Ecclesiastes 3:17 (MSG)
The place of righteousness-corrupt! I said to myself, "God will judge righteous and wicked." There's a right time for every thing, every deed-and there's no getting around it.
