Psalm 103:5

Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.  

What we speak controls the outcome of our lives.  What we believe is reflected in our speech, whether positive or negative.  If we talk faith-filled positive confessions from the bible, we will be satisfied with good things here on earth.  

Romans 8:37

Yet in all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

A conqueror has a plan.  Our confession should be speaking the plan of success, healing, peace, or whatever we need.  We call those things that be as not as though they are by saying the word over the situation. Please don’t give up on the word; it is power for us here on earth.    

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

There will be days when we don’t feel we have enough to make it through.  Jesus never said we had to live this life on our own, and His word will work for us.  We must remind ourselves what the word of God will strengthen us in adversity.  We need to quote scripture out loud so we can renew and strengthen our spirits.  

Ephesians 1:13

In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.  

The word of truth is the word of God that brings us to salvation.  Our trust in Jesus and the promises written in the Bible lead us to confidence in our faith.  Our faith that we have an eternal future with Jesus in heaven and the Holy Spirit to guide us on the way.  

2 Corinthians 9:8

God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. 

When God calls us to do work as a representative, He will also equip us.  If He calls us to talk to someone about being saved, He will give us the words to reach out to that person.  We don’t have to fear that we are not enough because we are not alone.  God will give us the strength and wisdom to accomplish whatever task set before us.  

Romans 8:38,39

I am persuaded neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Jesu is our security and the big brother who stood in the gap for us in love to connect to God.  We will not be separated from God’s love by anything on this earth because God had a plan for good for our lives.  Let’s be persuaded in our hearts just like Paul about how much our God loves us.

Jude 24,25

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.

God can keep us safe in every area of our lives.  His word is true and faithful as we walk out our time on this earth.  As we put our trust in Him and renew our minds, He is working to keep us faultless.  God loves us more than we realize, and our lives are important to him.  

1 Samuel 2:9

He will guard the feet of His saints, but the wicked shall be silent in darkness.  For by strength no man shall prevail.  

The Lord is our guide, and He guards His saints in which way they should go.  Jesus will keep us from evil as we listen to the inward witness.  Man shall never prevail against God or His saints.  As our focus remains on God and the word, we are reminded to be of good cheer because Jesus has overcome the world.  

Isaiah 43:2 

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.  When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. 

We have a God who stands by His word for His people to be with us and keep us safe.  When we focus on God and put our trust in Him and follow His ways, we will succeed.  The world can be going crazy, but our world can be kept in peace with Jesus. The Holy Spirit on the inside as our guide and the bible, the devil, does not stand a chance. 

Luke 11:33

No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts is in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.

The church is to be a light in troubled times.  A source of guidance against the forces of darkness.  When we do right to our neighbors and our neighborhood, we hold the darkness at bay and give hope.  Jesus needs us to be His example every day that light and beacon of hope.  We can’t hide our faith or be ashamed of being Christian because we are the only light in a dark world.
