The Value of Your Possessions

Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.—Ecclesiastes 5:19 (NIV)

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.—Revelation 2:17 (NIV)

Finish What You Start

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.—Philippians 1:6 (NIV)

Expect the Extraordinary

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”—Mark 1:17 (NIV)

Filled with God

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.—Romans 12:11–12 (NIV)

Here and Now

I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.—Psalm 40:1 (NIV)

Clothed and Complete

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.—Galatians 3:26–27 (NIV)
