Job 23:12
I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.
Job had incredible wealth. He owned livestock, land, and possessions beyond what most people could imagine. Yet when he spoke about what he treasured most, even at his lowest point, it wasn’t his riches. It was God’s Word.

John 15:7
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
What feels most like home to you? Maybe it’s everyone gathered around the table sharing a meal. Maybe it’s snuggling on the couch with one of your kids or sitting on the porch talking with your parents. That’s the kind of relationship Jesus invites us into. He’s calling us to stay close to Him and to let His Word find its home in our hearts.

Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
When kids are little, parents spend a lot of time explaining things, especially when something scary is happening. Jesus did something similar with His disciples. As He prepared them for the difficult days ahead, He didn’t reveal everything that would happen. But He did give them something they could trust completely: His Word.

Isaiah 40:28
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.
Flowers bloom and fade; people are born and eventually pass away. But God is different. He has always existed and always will. He is the Everlasting God—the One who depends on nothing outside of Himself to sustain Him. He never grows weary, never changes, and is completely worthy of our worship.

Ephesians 1:11-12
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.
When you think about the universe, the One who created it is the One who has authority over it. God lovingly created our world with purpose, not only to provide for His creation, but also to display His glory. And whether people acknowledge Him or not, He remains the ultimate ruler and sustainer of all things.

1 Chronicles 16:34
Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!
Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as faithful, compassionate, and steadfast in His love toward His people. Yet many would have you believe that God is the opposite: harsh, angry, or distant. But when you read His word, you find that He is exactly who He says He is. And that’s something to be thankful for today!

Jeremiah 32:17
Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.
God could’ve done anything He desired because He is all-powerful. But what’s incredible is what He chose to do with His power. He could have created a world where He simply demanded obedience, but instead He created humanity, in His image, with the ability to know Him, love Him, and choose to follow Him.

Isaiah 57:15
For thus says the One who is high and lifted up who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
The Creator of the Universe is holy, which means He is set apart from humanity. Unfortunately, it’s our sin that separates us from fellowship with Him. Which is why God generously established a way for us to be able to come into His presence. And it’s through His Son Jesus that we now have forgiveness and fellowship with God through repentance and faith.

John 13:17
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
Jesus was so good at showing His love through His actions. And He wanted His disciples to follow in His footsteps. Which is why the night before He went to the cross, He washed their feet. And when you’re willing to serve others with your actions the same way Jesus did, you’re reflecting His heart to those around you in a powerful way.

James 2:26
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
As long as God gives you breath in your lungs, He has good works for you to do. Now, those works don’t save you, salvation is found in Christ alone. However, they do reveal that, not only is your faith genuine, but it also gives others a glimpse of the transforming power of the gospel.

Colossians 3:23-24
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
Every day, millions of people get up and go to work. But if you’re working only for the approval of the people around you, you’ll always be chasing the next compliment, promotion, or pat on the back. But if your goal is to honor the Lord, you can work with excellence, whether people notice or not, because you know you’re ultimately serving Him.

James 1:22
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
If a person believed eating meat wasn’t good, you probably wouldn’t find them eating a hot dog. If they cared deeply about protecting forests, you’d probably find them planting trees. Our actions reveal what we truly believe. The same is true of our faith. Trusting God isn’t just something you say, it’s something that changes the way you live.
