Isaiah 6:7: With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for." Isaiah 6:9-10: He said, "Go and tell this people: Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving." Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with...

1 Corinthians 15:42-44: So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. Matthew 28:10: Do not be afraid of those who kill the...

James 1:16-17: Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers, Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Literal coins and bills on the ground, floor, wherever I went.When I was 15 years old until I was 20, I spent the summers in a resort as...

Ecclesiastes 11:10: So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body, for youth and vigor are meaningless. With Jesus we are well. We are always well. We have the assurance that we are well. Whether we are old, young, an athlete or a mathlete, we are well. Poverty of the soul, poverty in all forms including sickness was punished in the body of Jesus well before we have...

1 Corinthians 7:20-24: Each one should remain in the situation which he was in when God called him. Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so. For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord’s freedman; similarly, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ’s slave. You were bought at...

Ecclesiastes 7: 29: This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes. When we all were born we were innocent, free from any preconceived notion about the world. We were made from love and made to love. We all were made upright in the truth through God our Father and through the perfect love of Jesus Christ.As we go through life, our environment, our influences,...

Luke 4:18-21: The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lords favor.Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened to him, and...

Psalm 91:5-6: You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, not the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. The Lord is pretty clear here about His protection. There is really nothing He leaves out. We have protection at night, and in darkness, in the day, and further at midday. So we know that when it comes to fear the time of day has...

Psalm 91:4: He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. If you’ve ever seen a baby eagle then you know they look nothing like the strong, proud, powerful hunter they hope to grow up to be. When they are babies they don’t even really resemble the symbol for American freedom. They are so vulnerable and defenseless....

Psalm 91:3: Surely he will save you from the fowlers snare and from the deadly pestilence. When we trust in God the Father, we can be confident in the knowledge that we will be safe in all conditions. A fowler is someone who hunts birds. He stalks and sets traps with the intent of catching and destroying the bird. Why did the Holy Spirit specifically point out a fowlers snare? Because birds are free....

Psalm 91:2: I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. Declare today that God is your protection. God the Father is our fortification. He surrounds us when we declare who we are in Him. When I was a child growing up in Northern New York State we would get so much snow. The snow would pile so high in our cul-de-sac that the snow banks would be at the same height...

Psalm 91:1: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty In this life, there are many times when we can feel alone facing large circumstances. I have had times when I had to face major concerns and I always felt like nobody was there to support me. When my Dad was ill and laying in the ICU unit of Johns Hopkins, I had to come face to face with his mortality,...

Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Hebrews 12:1-3: Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us...

John 15:15-17: I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his masters business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each...

Ephesians 6:12: For the struggle is not against the flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Philippians 4:6-7: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts...

Isaiah 53:4-6: Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed four our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid...

Psalm 136: 1: Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever. I have heard this throughout my life, Jeff, all good things must come to an end. That is what people tell you when you go through a tough time. When you’re playing competitive sports days are through, when a great relationship fails, even when someone close to you leaves. I have heard that many times before. What...

Psalm 142:5-7: I cry to you, O Lord; I say, You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

Then the righteous will gather about me because of you goodness to me. David cried out to the Lord when he was in a cave hiding...

Luke 10:41,42- "Martha, Martha, The Lord answered, you are worried and upset about many things, but only the one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." Martha is like most of us, she is busy working and preparing forJesus. I have to imagine she is growing in frustration as she prepares food forthe house. Jesus didn’t travel alone very...

Matthew 6:25-34- Therefore I tell you, do not worry about yourlife, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isnot life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds ofthe air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenlyFather feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of youby worrying add a single hour...
