Proverbs 11:28
He who puts his faith in wealth will come to nothing; but the upright man will be full of growth like the green leaf.

In the times that we’re living in right now, I think it’s easy to see that you can’t put your faith in money. When every single thing you need costs more than it did 2 years ago, you realize money just won’t last. But the upright man trusts in God and sees that everything he has is from Him. So, whether it’s a time of plenty or a time of want, you can trust that God will see you through it, because He knows all your needs.

Jeremiah 17:8
For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.

This is a great reminder that when you are saved, God takes you and replants you. He takes you from the dry ground of the world, into a fertile place where you can’t help but grow. In good times, hard times, lush seasons, and even dry ones, your leaf will continue to be green because it doesn’t depend on you to make it grow, it depends on God.

Matthew 5:23-24
If you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

Did you know your relationship with others is directly connected to your relationship with God? So much so, Jesus instructed the Jews to prioritize reconciliation over worship. Because when you can show the same grace and forgiveness to others that you, yourself have received, that’s when you become a true worshiper of God. That’s when His heart is your heart.

John 16:21
When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

Jesus used the analogy of childbirth to acknowledge the reality of pain in your life, but He also emphasized the surpassing joy that comes afterwards. Just as a mother forgets her anguish when she holds her newborn baby, our trials also fade when we discover the joy that comes from knowing Jesus. And the important thing to remember is that joy isn’t dependent on a life without troubles, it’s rooted in the unshakable love of God.

Acts 20:35
In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

There’s something that happens when someone gives you something without expecting anything in return. You can’t help but feel blessed. But that feeling isn’t just for the receiver, it’s for the giver as well. And it reminds both parties that true happiness is found not in the accumulation of possessions but in the act of giving and sharing with others what you’ve been given. That’s when you feel truly blessed.

Hebrews 8:12
I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.

The sins of the past have a way of coming back to mind and replaying over and over again. When that happens it brings back all the shame, guilt, and pain that once accompanied that time in your life. But God says, those things have been covered by the blood of Jesus and nothing on earth is powerful enough to remove that blanket of God’s love from you. So, when the past comes knocking, remind yourself of this powerful truth.
