Romans 12:12
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

Did you know God has given us a way for living a resilient Christian life? And it will help you even if you’re in the midst of difficulty, pain, or tribulation. It’s by focusing your heart on 3 things: hope, patience and prayer. Hope in the midst of waiting, patience in the face of tribulation and steadfastness in your time of prayer.

Philippians 2:3
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

Don’t do it! Sometimes your flesh wants to put the spotlight on you and relish in the praise. But Paul says instead, put that spotlight on someone else and consider them as more important than you. You might be surprised at how much it helps you learn humility.

James 1:12
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him.

Each day we face trials. Maybe you got a flat tire on the way to work, or you lost your job, or maybe this week you can’t afford to fill your car with gas. Whatever trial you’re facing today, just know God sees you and that He has a crown ready to give you when you face this trial steadfast in your faith!

Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

The reason we don’t need to fear has nothing to do with the strength of our bodies, our homes, or our nation. We don’t need to be afraid because God promises that He will be with us. And when God makes a promise, He always keeps it!

John 3:30
He must increase, but I must decrease.

John the Baptist had a very important mission, to prepare the way for the Messiah. And once he accomplished that mission, it was time for people to stop looking to John and to start looking to Jesus. Let the echo of his words resound in our own hearts today, that Christ may increase, and we may decrease.

James 4:10
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.

If your doctor prescribed you a pill that would always benefit you, you’d probably run right out and get it. Well, God has prescribed an attitude for us to have that always brings us benefits, unfortunately, not many choose to have it. It’s humility. And whenever you humble yourself in His sight, things will always look up.

Galatians 5:14
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Every day, whether you realize it or not, you show love to yourself. You do it by sleeping in a warm house, filling up your belly, and making sure you have clothes that keep you warm. But did you know that’s also what God’s calling you to do for others? And the tricky part is, He wants you to give it to them just like you give it to yourself…freely, without charge, and without judgment. When you do that, you fulfill God’s law of love.

Ephesians 4:1-2
I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love…

Paul was put in prison unjustly, and yet he didn’t spend his time being discouraged. He spent it encouraging believers to continue to trust the LORD no matter what circumstance He put them in. And that encouragement is for you too. No matter where He’s put you, walk worthy of your calling.

Psalm 136:1
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.

Thank you! Just 2 little words that oftentimes, we neglect to say to the God of the Universe. Just like the Israelites forgot that God gave them manna every day for 40 years, we forget that He provides all our needs as well. Which means He deserves a very big, very heartfelt thank you for all that He generously gives us.

John 13:34
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

We naturally want to love ourselves first. But in this passage, Jesus calls us to love others like He did, sacrificially and unconditionally. A love not based on the worthiness of others but on the truth that God deems everyone valuable. And it can only happen when we’ve experienced that divine love for ourselves. Only then, will we be able to hand it out freely to others.

1 Corinthians 13:4
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant…

English seems to limit our ability to express what love really is, especially when we use the same word for pizza as we do for those in our family. Which is why God has given us a very detailed explanation of it in His Word. And who best to learn from then the Author of love Himself. He is love.

Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

When Paul reflected on his life, he realized he’d done what God had asked of him. He’d faced hardships through persecutions and imprisonments, he’d spoken the truth in each town that he’d gone to, and he didn’t waver in his faith. When he shared those things with Timothy, he wasn’t boasting about his faithfulness, he was merely looking back with thankfulness on all God used him to accomplish.
