Ephesians 6:13

Ephesians 6:13 (MSG)
Be prepared. You're up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You'll need them throughout your life. God's Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.

Here's what will happen. While you're out among the nations where god has dispersed you and the blessings and curses come in just the way I have set them before you, and you and your children take them seriously and come back to god, your God, and obey him with your whole heart and soul according to everything that I command you today, god, your God, will restore everything you lost; he'll have compassion on you; he'll come back and pick up the pieces from all the places where you were scattered. No matter how far away you end up, god, your God, will get you out of there and bring you back to the land your ancestors once possessed. It will be yours again. He will give you a good life and make you more numerous than your ancestors.

Your love, god, is my song, and I'll sing it! I'm forever telling everyone how faithful you are.

Your love has always been our lives' foundation, your fidelity has been the roof over our world.

Psalm 84:10

Psalm 84:10 (MSG)
One day spent in your house, this beautiful place of worship, beats thousands spent on Greek island beaches. I'd rather scrub floors in the house of my God than be honored as a guest in the palace of sin. All sunshine and sovereign is god, generous in gifts and glory. He doesn't scrimp with his traveling companions. It's smooth sailing all the way with god-of-the-Angel-Armies.

Psalm 84:5

Psalm 84:5 (MSG)

Romans 12:2

Romans 12:2 (MSG)
Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

If I am so special to you, let me in on your plans. That way, I will continue being special to you. Don't forget, this is your people, your responsibility."

Oh, that will be a day! A day for rebuilding your city, a day for stretching your arms, spreading your wings!

But there'll be a reversal for everyone else—massive depopulation— because of the way they lived, the things they did.

Micah 7:8

Micah 7:8 (MSG)
Don't, enemy, crow over me. I'm down, but I'm not out. I'm sitting in the dark right now, but God is my light. I can take God's punishing rage. I deserve it—I sinned. But it's not forever. He's on my side and is going to get me out of this. He'll turn on the lights and show me his ways. I'll see the whole picture and how right he is. And my enemy will see it, too, and be discredited—yes, disgraced! This enemy who kept taunting, "So where is this God of yours?" I'm going to see it with these, my own eyes— my enemy disgraced, trash in the gutter.

And now, the Master, God, sends me and his Spirit with this Message from God, your Redeemer, The Holy of Israel: "I am God, your God, who teaches you how to live right and well. I show you what to do, where to go. If you had listened all along to what I told you, your life would have flowed full like a river, blessings rolling in like waves from the sea. Children and grandchildren are like sand, your progeny like grains of sand. There would be no end of them, no danger of losing touch with me."
