Where the Real News is the Good News

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful;he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

For your ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all your paths.

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”

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

Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position.

Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
    but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

There is no one holy like the Lord;
    there is no one besides you;
    there is no Rock like our God.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help you.

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

You make known to me the path of life;
    you will fill me with joy in your presence,
    with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
