"This is My command - be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." - Joshua 1:9 NLT

"The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; He will exult over you with load singing." - Zephaniah 3:17 ESV

"Lord, be merciful to us, for we have waited for you. Be our strong arm each day and our salvation in times of trouble." - Isaiah 33:2 NLT

"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." - Ephesians 6:13 NKJV

"I can do all this through Him who gives me strength." - Philippians 4:13 NIV

'Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen." - Ephesians 3:20-21 ESV

Power is great and everyone loves power. Men want to be strong, which is why there are so many strong man competitions. The Lord calls us to be strong; to be strong in the Lord. God's power is the only one that matters and we need to trust in Him.

"Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with My victorious right hand." - Isaiah 41:10 NLT

"In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus Himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" - Acts 20:35 NIV

"Your words have supported those who were falling; You encouraged those with shaky knees." - Job 4:4 NLT

"For they have gone out for the sake of the name. Therefore we ought to support people like these, that we may be fellow workers for the truth." - 3 John 7-8 ESV

"Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been upheld by Me from birth, who have been carried from the womb: Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you." - Isaiah 46:3-4 NKJV

Our greatest supporter is God. With His mighty hand He keeps us standing. We should do the same with each other. To support someone is to assist them in a special way. It means that a specific person needs help, and that the person receives it from us. We help where we can, and do it despite our own needs and wants. We offer ourselves to the service of God and others. Be a spiritual supporter to your friends and family. You know you can support them with money and your time, but being a supporter spiritually will only cost you your time. Your words can be more encouraging and uplifting than any other type of support. Thank you and God Bless!

"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." - James 1:2-4 ESV

"After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin." - Hebrews 12:4 NLT

"The disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!" - Mark 10:24 NKJV

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." - Ephesians 6:12 ESV

"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in Me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world." - John 16:33 NLT

"We have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe." - 1 Timothy 4:10 NIV

Struggles are the normal part of faith. We are in a battle against the evil forces of hell. People's eternal salvation is at stake. Our spiritual growth is also on the line. Struggles are therefore part of our daily existence when we're followers of the Lord. We keep our eyes fixed on Christ while we're fighting the good fight. We remain standing. He is our Anchor and safe Refuge. Thank you and God Bless!

"Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?" - 1 Corinthians 6:19 NKJV

"In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself. No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church." - Ephesians 5:28-29 NLT

"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him." - Genesis 1:27 KNJV

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death." - Philippians 1:20 NIV

"Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come." - 1 Timothy 4:7-8 ESV

A feeling of self-worth is necessary for a balanced life. Paul says that a man should love and care for his own body. Take note, he doesn't say you must be in love with yourself, only that you need to look after your body well. How? Well, you make sure your body is well groomed and looked after. You don't overeat, overwork, overstrain or drink excessively. Your body is the temple of God, and that is why you find your worth in Him who regards you as precious in His sight. Thank you and God Bless!

"Why have we fasted, and You see it not? Why have we humbled ourselves, and You take no knowledge of it? Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure, and oppress all your workers." - Isaiah 58:3 ESV

"Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself." - Philippians 2:3 NKJV

"Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgement." - Proverbs 18:1 ESV

"Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow Me." - Matthew 16:24 NIV

"For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere." - James 3:16-17 NIV

"For those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger." - Romans 2:8 NIV

For selfish people only three people matter in their lives: "me, myself and I." Then your life and others' revolve around you. Selfishness brings out the worst in you, because you always fight for your own interests. You have to win no matter what. You must get all the attention. Don't let this happen. Let the Lord's selfless love flow over you today, then you'll lose all your selfish desires. God gave you everything you have, all your gifts, your talents and everything you have done. Don't be selfish, Jesus was selfless and always thought about others before himself. We need to be more like Jesus. Thank you and God Bless!

"Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ." - 1 Corinthians 1:7 NLT

"But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only." - Matthew 24:36 ESV

"Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast to what you have, that no one may take your crown." - Revelation 3:11 NKJV

The Lord is coming again. He guarantees it. We don't know the date and time. But we don't have to. All that is expected of us is to be ready for His return. My grandmother used to say, "Our bags should be packed for the Lord arrives to fetch us." His Second Coming is near. We need to wait expectantly and look forward to His return. We must also invite others to share in the feast of eternity. We have to be ready with Christ returns, but don't be afraid as our reward is Heaven. No more sickness, cancer, pain, everything will be healthy and young again. Keep your faith, stay positive and God has you in the palm of His hand.

"Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor." - Romans 12:10 ESV

"Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God's slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor." - 1 Peter 2:16-17 NIV

"Sensible people control their temper; they earn respect by overlooking wrongs." - Proverbs 19:11 NLT

"Give to everyone what you owe them; If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor." - Romans 13:7 NIV

"Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity." - Titus 2:7 ESV

"Do to others as you would like them to do to you." - Luke 6:31 NLT

"Do nothing out of self ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves." - Philippians 2:3 NIV

We all want to be treated with a little respect. Something as small as a quick greeting, a nod of the head, or the smile that says I know that you exist, make many people's lives bearable. Handle everyone with respect. Notice the sticker on their chest that was put there by God: "Fragile! Handle with Care!" Now do it. Each person is special. If you treat them with respect and dignity, God's goodness shines brightly. Treat everyone with respect no matter how they have treated you. God is watching and sees any wrongs that have been done to do. He will fight your battles! Thank you and God Bless!

"Anyone who listens to My teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock." - Matthew 7:24 NLT

The Psalms and other Scripture verses often mention that God is our Rock. He is unshakable. He is solid. You can build your life on Him. No room in your life's house must be extended or rebuilt if it is not founded on the Triune God as your Rock. he is the only one to keep you firm and standing straight. Trust in God, He is your firm foundation and will not ever crumble. Thank you and God Bless!

"My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." - Exodus 33:14 ESV

"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." - Matthew 11:29 NKJV

At the end of a long day, we yearn for rest and relaxation. When you've worked yourself to the bone, and are tired of life, rest is the best medicine. God created us to rest. That's why we can lie down every night and sleep in peace, as David did. We can trust God while we sleep. He will carry us safe through the night. He never slumbers nor sleeps. Day or night doesn't influence Him. Take time to rest and relax, whether you go to the beach, the lake or any place away from your normal day to day activities, it gives us a chance to recharge and come to peace. God wants you to rest, so do it! Thank you and God Bless!

"Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassions, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." - Colossians 3:11-12

"For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing His riches on all who call on Him." - Romans 10:12 ESV

Racism is a word often heard nowdays. You're guilty of it when you treat people from a different race and skin color without the necessary diginity. Jesus loves everyone exactly the way they are and He never showed any racism to anyone He came in contact with. We should all follow the guidance of Jesus and treat everyone the same Jesus treats us.
