Trust in the psalms (3/4) In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah. I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen. Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Lord , save us! Lord , grant us success! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord . From the house of the Lord we bless you. The Lord will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned. They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord ’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord . Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. Next verse! With image
