IN STEP
Galatians 5:25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Galatians 5:25, NIV From the moment we receive Christ, we live in the Spirit. He is always with us, to guide our steps, to bear witness with our spirit, and to let us know that we belong to God.

When we live in the Sp

CLOTHED
Isaiah 61:10 I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God.

Isaiah 61:10, NIV Take a moment to think about what God has done for you and what He has given you. Remember what you deserve and are not getting. This should cause extreme delight in God's great love and mercy for you

GOD'S POWERFUL PRESENCE
Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV What is it that you fear? I have dealt with some fear in my life. On the surface, I fear tight enclosed places, but down deeper, maybe the fear is loss of control. I think many of us fear failure, rejection, or even pain. At times I think we even fear speaking from the depth of our hearts, because we want to be accepted and loved. Fear speaking from the dep

GREAT COMMANDMENTS
Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:37-39, NKJV There are three great relationships in life: our relationship with God; our relationship with self; and our relationship with other people. Our life is like a cross with vertical (God-ward) and horizontal (man

Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, NIV Here are a few things that Paul says to the church of Corinth, which seems to be a timely word for our day. 1) Be on your guard!

RISE AND STAND UPRIGHT
Psalm 20:7-8 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. Psalm 20:7-8, NKJV For people in the modern world, trusting in chariots and horses may seem like a pleasant metaphor, but remember, these were prime examples of human power and might in the ancient world. Therefore, I wonder how David would have written this verse now today. "Some trust in science." "Som

FRUIT BEARER
John 15: 5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. John 15: 5, NKJV The image of a branch gaining all its sustenance and strength from the vine is a beautiful description of our total dependence upon God, without whom we can do nothing, for in Him we live and move and have our being. When Jesus walked the earth, He demonstrated this truth, for He lived His entire life in utter dependence upon
