hold on

John 6:37 (MSG)
Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me. And once that person is with me, I hold on and don't let go.

in His hands

Acts 20:32 (MSG)
"Now I'm turning you over to God, our marvelous God whose gracious Word can make you into what he wants you to be and give you everything you could possibly need in this community of holy friends.

Genesis

Psalm 51:10 (MSG)
God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life.

grace

Romans 12:3 (MSG)
I'm speaking to you out of deep gratitude for all that God has given me, and especially as I have responsibilities in relation to you. Living then, as every one of you does, in pure grace, it's important that you not misinterpret yourselves as people who are bringing this goodness to God. No, God brings it all to you. The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what he does for us, not by what we are and what we do for him.

Just Jesus

Romans 8:37 (MSG)
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us.

every detail

Romans 8:28 (MSG)
That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

Personal Jesus

Job 42:5 (MSG)
I admit I once lived by rumors of you; now I have it all firsthand-from my own eyes and ears!

love

1 John 4:18 (MSG)
There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life-fear of death, fear of judgment-is one not yet fully formed in love.

Steady Word

Matthew 4:4 (MSG)
Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: "It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God's mouth."

1 John 2:28

1 John 2:28 (MSG)
And now, children, stay with Christ. Live deeply in Christ. Then we'll be ready for him when he appears, ready to receive him with open arms, with no cause for red-faced guilt or lame excuses when he arrives.

God-confident

1 Corinthians 10:12 (MSG)
Don't be so naive and self-confident. You're not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it's useless. Cultivate God-confidence.

God commands a blessing on me

Deuteronomy 28:8 (MSG)
god will order a blessing on your barns and workplaces; he'll bless you in the land that god, your God, is giving you.

quiet

Psalm 94:12-13 (MSG)
How blessed the man you train, god, the woman you instruct in your Word, Providing a circle of quiet within the clamor of evil, while a jail is being built for the wicked. God will never walk away from his people, never desert his precious people. Rest assured that justice is on its way and every good heart put right.

no-curse ground

Genesis 8:4 (MSG)
On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ship landed on the Ararat mountain range. The water kept going down until the tenth month. On the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains came into view. After forty days Noah opened the window that he had built into the ship.

fear disables

Proverbs 29:25 (MSG)
The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in God protects you from that.

Hebrews 10:22

Hebrews 10:22 (MSG)
So let's do it—full of belief, confident that we're presentable inside and out. Let's keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. Let's see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.

simply live in the Fear of God

Proverbs 15:16 (MSG)
A simple life in the Fear-of-god is better than a rich life with a ton of headaches.

Romans 8:35

Romans 8:35 (MSG)
Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

promises

Hebrews 10:23 (MSG)
Let's keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word.

Compassion

Luke 7:13 (MSG)
When Jesus saw her, his heart broke. He said to her, "Don't cry."

The Good Shepherd

John 10:14-15 (MSG)
"I am the Good Shepherd. I know my own sheep and my own sheep know me. In the same way, the Father knows me and I know the Father. I put the sheep before myself, sacrificing myself if necessary. You need to know that I have other sheep in addition to those in this pen. I need to gather and bring them, too. They'll also recognize my voice. Then it will be one flock, one Shepherd. This is why the Father loves me: because I freely lay down my life. And so I am free to take it up again. No one takes it from me. I lay it down of my own free will. I have the right to lay it down; I also have the right to take it up again. I received this authority personally from my Father."

He prayed for me

Romans 8:26 (MSG)
Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

Romans 8:18

Romans 8:18 (MSG)
That's why I don't think there's any comparison between the present hard times and the coming good times. The created world itself can hardly wait for what's coming next. Everything in creation is being more or less held back. God reins it in until both creation and all the creatures are ready and can be released at the same moment into the glorious times ahead. Meanwhile, the joyful anticipation deepens.

faith

Hebrews 11:6 (MSG)
It's impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him.

words

Proverbs 15:4 (MSG)
Kind words heal and help; cutting words wound and maim.
