ADVOCATE
1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 When two sides cannot come to an agreement face to face, it is time for the mediator to be brought in. The mediator will act as a bridge, perhaps as a go between for the two parties, or perhaps as a third-party perspective to find some means by which both sides can c

NO GREATER NAME
Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

OUR FEAR, GOD'S STRENGTH
Psalm 147:10-11 His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior; the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. Psalm 147:10-11, NIV If you were in charge of hiring someone to lead an entire nation through a wilderness, what qualities would be valuable? If you were hiring someone to take on a conquering army with a minimal force, would you look for courage, ability, and experience? Would you look

OUR WEAKNESS, CHRIST'S STRENGTH
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 And He said to me. "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, NKJV We wil experience the pomer of God in our lives when our hearts catch fir

FREEDOM
1 Peter 2:16 Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God's slaves. 1 Peter 2:16, NLT Freedom is a wonderful gift that should be cherished, encouraged, and protected by people everywhere. All over the world, there are regions and nations where liberty is denied and justice is callously set aside. For freedom to be truly experienced, equality and dignity have to be made available and shared with everyone. Freedom can only work if people

CHILDLIKE
Matthew 18:1-4 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying. “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:1-4, NKJV As I read these scriptures, I

HOMECOMING
Revelation 21:3-5 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying. “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people.

Psalm 27:13-14 I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

TRULY THANKFUL
1 Timothy 4:4-5 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer. 1 Timothy 4:4-5, NIV God is great, God is good, let us thank Him for our food." That prayer, often spoken by small children before they eat, may seem simple, yet thankfulness is something we often struggle with even as adults. How often have we stopped and thanked God for the air we breathe, the abiliti
