this Sunday

Through Him then, 
let us continually offer up
a sacrifice of praise to God...

... that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. (Hebrews 13:15)

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Psalm 46:1-3 
God is our refuge and strength, 
A very present help in trouble. 
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change 
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; 
Though its waters roar and foam, 
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. 
Selah.

1 Peter 5:8-9
Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. 
Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, 
seeking someone to devour.

But resist him, firm in your faith, 
knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished 
by your brethren who are in the world.
Ephesians 6:10-11

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 
Put on the full armour of God, 
so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

The Way (New Horizon)

John 14:6

Jesus said to him, 
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life; 
no one comes to the Father but through Me."

Psalm 59:16

But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength;
Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For You have been my stronghold
And a refuge in the day of my distress.

Faithful

Psalm 73:25 
Whom have I in heaven but You? 
And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.

Always On Time

Psalm 27:14
Wait for the LORD;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the LORD.

Romans 5:3-5
And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, 
knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;
and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
and hope does not disappoint, 
because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts 
through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Isaiah 40:31
Yet those who wait for the LORD
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.

Seen, Known, Loved

Psalm 139:1-4
O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thought from afar.
You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O LORD, You know it all.

Psalm 139:13-14
For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks to You, 
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
