Where the Real News is the Good News

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.

I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen,
    what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
    the things God has prepared for those who love him—

But you, Lord, are a shield around me,
    my glory, the One who lifts my head high.

A cheerful heart is good medicine,
    but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
    and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.

Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great wealth with turmoil.

Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD.

Walk with the wise and become wise,
    for a companion of fools suffers harm.

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
