Daily Bread

I recently went on a missions trip to Mexico this summer with my church's youth group. While there we studied 1 Thessalonians. The first half of verse 3 really impacted me! It reads:

"For this is the will of God, your sanctification." ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:3a (ESV)

I have found that I often question God's will for me in my life. Especially when asked questions about career choices or choosing a college/university. As soon as I read this verse I realized that God's will was my sanctification! I hope this verse brings you as much reassurance of what God wants for you in your life as it did for me.

Verse of the Week:

Philippians 3:7-8 (NIV)

⁷ But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. ⁸ What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ

Verse of the Week:

2 Chronicles 16:9 (ESV)

"For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless^[a] toward him. You have done foolishly in this, for from now on you will have wars.”

Verse of the Week

^{Joshua 1:9}

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Verse of the Week

Ok so this week's verse came a little late and for that I'm sorry, but this verse has a great message!

1 Corinthians 13:8

"Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away."

Verse of the Week

Recently I was a bit upset over something and my mom shared this verse with me. It was very encouraging to hear. As soon as I started thinking like this verse does, I was not so upset!

Philippians 4:8

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things"

Verse(s) of the Week(s)

This past week I found a photo on Pinterest of Emergency Bible Verses. I thought it a great resource for various occasions. I hope you all have a great rest of the week, and continue being in HIS Word.
