Which gift? Every gift!

Thank God for this gift too wonderful for words!

2 Corinthians 9:15, NLT

Having fun...the Bible says so

So I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for people in this world than to eat, drink, and enjoy life. That way they will experience some happiness along with all the hard work God gives them under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 8:15, NLT

Be courageous

Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love.

1 Corinthians 16:13-14, NLT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Being courageous is not easy. But with faith and love, it will be easier. In these troubling political times, I feel like I am on guard, which is different from being paranoid (which I try not to do). I need to hold tight to this verse.

Patient Endurance

Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

Hebrews 10:36, NLT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How does Air1 know what verse I need on a given day? Today, I needed to be reminded of both patience and endurance. Thank you, Lord, for knowing what I need before I even know I need it and for filling that need.

Hope

And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.

Psalm 39:7, NLT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amen!

God's workmanship is marvelous

Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous-how well I know it.

Psalm 139:14, NLT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I do marvel at the detail that God put into every living creature. It's amazing and wondrous. Praise God!

Thanksgiving at Thanksgiving

And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 5:20, NLT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can do that! I don't do enough of it. Thanks for the reminder.
