Isaiah 35:10
And those the LORD has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
Judgement and redemption. The two walk hand in hand when you read the Book of Isaiah. As a good Father, God could not and would not allow Israel to go punished for their continual disobedience to His word. And yet, because of His great love for His people, He could not let justice have the last word. That’s why God also gave His people a picture of redemption by promising them a bright future.

Psalm 30:5
For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime, weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
The thing you always find in the midst of the Psalms is brutal honesty. Especially when it’s a Psalm of David. He always gave people the dual understanding that not only is life difficult, but also that God is good. Even though he had moments of weeping, he also knew that God would make it good, and He would graciously bring a reason to rejoice very, very soon.

Hebrews 12:2
Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
If you’ve ever run a race, then you know you’re supposed to fix your eyes on the goal. You can do that by visualizing yourself crossing the finish line before the race, and while you’re actually running in the race. That’s what Jesus did. He fixed His eyes on His mission: the good, the bad and the really ugly. And He accepted all of it with joy knowing that He was doing it for you!

Psalm 16:11
You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Have you ever thought, if I get this thing, I’ll be happy? But then when you actually get that thing, it doesn’t make you as happy as you thought. It’s because true joy doesn’t come from what you can accumulate, it comes from knowing the Creator of the Universe has your life in His very capable hands.

Revelation 1:8
I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the LORD God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
When you absolutely love a story from a book, you want to meet the author. And if you’ve read the Bible, then you just happen to know the Author of the story of all of history, the One who holds time and eternity in His hands. He’s the One who began the story and He’s the Only One who knows when it’s time for that story to end. And according to the Bible, it should be very soon.

Romans 5:8
But God demonstrated His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
To understand what the Father’s love looks like, you need to remember that you used to be God’s enemy. You used to be on the wrong side of the war, wearing the enemy’s colors. And Jesus, God’s Son, saw you. And even though He knew everything you ever did, He still walked right up to you during the battle and took the death arrow that was bound for your heart. That’s what the Father’s love looks like. His deep, unconditional love for you.

Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.
When you surrendered your life to Christ, that was the day you died. Your old self—your sins, your fears, your past—were, in a sense, nailed to the cross. And this act of surrender now signifies a new beginning where Christ’s life flows through you. It’s no longer just you trying to live this life, it’s Jesus living in you helping you each and every day.

Exodus 3:14
God said to Moses, I AM who I AM. Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.
When God had the opportunity to give Himself a name so that His people would know who He was, He didn’t answer with a typical one. Instead, He answered with His eternal nature. Because He knew if He gave them any name, it would quickly become an idol. So, the name He gave them was infused with who He really was, and is, and always will be… the Great I AM.

Isaiah 46:9
Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God and there is none like Me.
There are about 8 billion people in the world, but even if you got to meet each and every one, no one would be like God. He is perfect. And if you forget how incredible He is, just look at His track record. It’s filled with His miraculous provision, unconditional love, and divine forgiveness because He is a God who always keeps His promises.

1 Corinthians 13:3
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
You could give everything you have to the poor, and God says you would still gain nothing. Because giving isn’t just about sharing what you have in your hands or around your house, it’s about sharing what you have in your heart. And if your heart is looking for praise, Paul says, don’t do it. Giving should always be motivated by love.

Matthew 16:26
What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul.
Jim Carrey once said, I wish everyone could get rich and famous and have everything they ever dreamed of, so they could see that’s not the answer. So, even if you gained the whole world, the Bible says without God, you still come up empty. But if you do the opposite and empty yourself for God, Jesus says you’ll gain in every way.

Psalm 90:12
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
When you take a minute and number your days, you realize you may not have as many as you think. And hopefully, that will cause you to gain more understanding and wisdom with the time you do have on earth. What will you do with your days?
