Ephesians 1:3-6

Ephesians 1:3-6 (MSG)
How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He's the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth's foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.

John 15:5-8

John 15:5-8 (MSG)
"I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you're joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can't produce a thing. Anyone who separates from me is deadwood, gathered up and thrown on the bonfire. But if you make yourselves at home with me and my words are at home in you, you can be sure that whatever you ask will be listened to and acted upon. This is how my Father shows who he is—when you produce grapes, when you mature as my disciples.

Psalm 34:9

Psalm 34:9 (MSG)
Worship god if you want the best; worship opens doors to all his goodness.

Psalm 34:1-22

Psalm 34:1-22 (ESV)
I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
