Where the Real News is the Good News

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
    I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them.

 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
    but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sinsand live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,

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.

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

You will keep in perfect peace
    those whose minds are steadfast,
    because they trust in you.
