Trust in the psalms (3/4) He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 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. Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” 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. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 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. 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. Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord . 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. The Lord will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned. 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. 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. 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. 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. Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. 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. Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness. Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them. Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Next verse! With image
