Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭12

Proverbs‬ ‭5‬:‭8, 15-21‬

Stay away from the woman who commits adultery. Don’t even go near her house.

Now, about sex and marriage: Drink only the water that comes from your own well, and don’t let your water flow out into the streets. Keep it for yourself, and don’t share it with strangers. Be happy with your own wife. Enjoy the woman you married while you were young. She is like a beautiful deer, a lovely fawn. Let her love satisfy you completely. Stay drunk on her love, and don’t go stumbling into the arms of another woman. The Lord clearly sees everything you do. He watches where you go. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭5‬:‭8, 15-21‬ ERV)

Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬

Above all, be careful what you think because your thoughts control your life. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬ ERV)

Exodus‬ ‭23‬:‭24-27‬

“Don’t worship their gods. Don’t ever bow down to those gods. You must never live the way those people live. You must destroy their idols. And you must break the stones that help them remember their gods. You must serve the Lord your God. If you do this, I will bless you with plenty of bread and water. I will take away all sickness from you. Your women will all be able to have babies. None of their babies will die at birth. And I will allow you to live long lives. “When you fight against your enemies, I will send my great power before you. I will help you defeat all your enemies. The people who are against you will become confused in battle and run away. (‭Exodus‬ ‭23‬:‭24-27‬ ERV)

Exodus‬ ‭22‬:‭21-29‬

“Remember, in the past you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. So you should not cheat or hurt anyone who is a foreigner in your land. “You must never do anything bad to women whose husbands are dead or to orphans. If you do anything wrong to these widows or orphans, I will know it. I will hear about their suffering. And I will be very angry. I will kill you with a sword. Then your wives will become widows, and your children will become orphans. “If you loan money to any of my people, that is, the poor among you, don’t be like a moneylender and charge them interest. You might take their cloak to make sure they pay the money back, but you must give that cloak back to them before sunset. That cloak might be their only protection against the cold when they lie down to sleep. If they call to me for help, I will listen because I am kind. “You must not curse God or the leaders of your people. “At harvest time you should give me the first grain and the first juice from your fruit. Don’t wait until late in the year. “Give me your firstborn sons. (‭Exodus‬ ‭22‬:‭21-29‬ ERV)

Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5-12

Trust the Lord completely, and don’t depend on your own knowledge. With every step you take, think about what he wants, and he will help you go the right way. Don’t trust in your own wisdom, but fear and respect the Lord and stay away from evil. If you do this, it will be like a refreshing drink and medicine for your body. Honor the Lord with your wealth and the first part of your harvest. Then your barns will be full of grain, and your barrels will be overflowing with wine. My son, don’t reject the Lord ’S discipline, and don’t be angry when he corrects you. The Lord corrects the one he loves, just as a father corrects a child he cares about. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5-12‬ ERV)

Exodus‬ ‭15‬:‭26‬

Exodus‬ ‭13‬:‭17‬

Pharaoh made the people leave Egypt. God did not let the people take the road leading to the land of the Philistines. That road by the Mediterranean Sea is the shortest way, but God said, “If the people go that way they will have to fight. Then they might change their minds and go back to Egypt.” (‭Exodus‬ ‭13‬:‭17‬ ERV)

Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1-6‬

The Lord is my shepherd. I will always have everything I need. He gives me green pastures to lie in. He leads me by calm pools of water. He restores my strength. He leads me on right paths to show that he is good. Even if I walk through a valley as dark as the grave, I will not be afraid of any danger, because you are with me. Your rod and staff comfort me. You prepared a meal for me in front of my enemies. You welcomed me as an honored guest. My cup is full and spilling over. Your goodness and mercy will be with me all my life, and I will live in the Lord ’S house a long, long time.
(‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1-6‬ ERV)

Exodus‬ ‭10‬:‭1-2

The Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh. I have made him and his officials stubborn. I did this so that I could show them my powerful miracles.

Then all of you will know that I am the Lord.” (‭Exodus‬ ‭10‬:‭1-2‬ ERV)

Exodus‬ ‭3‬:‭11-12‬

But Moses said to God, “I am not a great man! How can I be the one to go to Pharaoh and lead the Israelites out of Egypt?” God said, “You can do it because I will be with you.

Psalms‬ ‭22‬:‭1-2, 4-6, 9-11‬

My God, my God, why have you left me? You seem too far away to save me, too far to hear my cries for help! My God, I kept calling by day, and I was not silent at night. But you did not answer me.

Our ancestors trusted you. Yes, they trusted you, and you saved them. They called to you for help and escaped their enemies. They trusted you and were not disappointed! But I feel like a worm, less than human! People insult me and look down on me.

God, the truth is, you are the one who brought me into this world. You made me feel safe while I was still at my mother’s breasts. You have been my God since the day I was born. I was thrown into your arms as I came from my mother’s womb. So don’t leave me! Trouble is near, and there is no one to help me. (‭Psalms‬ ‭22‬:‭1-2, 4-6, 9-11‬ ERV)

‭Psalms‬ ‭21‬:‭1-7‬

Lord, your strength makes the king happy. He is so happy when you give him victory. And you gave him what he wanted. You gave him what he asked for. Selah You gave the king such wonderful blessings. You put a golden crown on his head. He asked for life, and you gave it. You gave him life that goes on forever. You led him to victory that brought him great glory. You gave him honor and fame. You have given him blessings that will last forever. You have given him the joy of being near you. The king trusts in the Lord, and the faithful love of God Most High will keep him from falling. (‭Psalms‬ ‭21‬:‭1-7‬ ERV)

He said to them, “Go everywhere in the world. Tell the Good News to everyone. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved. But those who do not believe will be judged guilty.

After the Lord Jesus said these things to his followers, he was carried up into heaven. There, Jesus sat at the right side of God. The followers went everywhere in the world telling people the Good News, and the Lord helped them. By giving them power to do miracles the Lord proved that their message was true. (‭Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭15-16, 19-20‬ ERV)

Psalms‬ ‭20‬:‭1-5, 7‬

May the Lord answer you in times of trouble. May the God of Jacob protect you. May he send you help from his Holy Place. May he support you from Zion. May he remember all the gifts you have offered. May he accept all your sacrifices. Selah May he give you what you really want. May he make all your plans successful. We will celebrate when he helps you. We will praise the name of God. May the Lord give you everything you ask for.

Some give the credit for victory to their chariots and soldiers, but we honor the Lord our God. (‭Psalms‬ ‭20‬:‭1-5, 7‬ ERV)

Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭7-8

Mark‬ ‭8‬:‭14-16, 19-21

The followers had only one loaf of bread with them in the boat. They forgot to bring more bread. Jesus warned them, “Be careful! Guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.” The followers discussed the meaning of this. They said, “He said this because we have no bread.”

I divided five loaves of bread for 5000 people. Remember how many baskets you filled with pieces of food that were not eaten?” The followers answered, “We filled twelve baskets.” “And when I divided seven loaves of bread for 4000 people, how many baskets did you fill with the leftover pieces?” They answered, “We filled seven baskets.” Then he said to them, “You remember these things I did, but you still don’t understand?” (‭Mark‬ ‭8‬:‭14-16, 19-21‬ ERV)

Mark‬ ‭8‬:‭34-38

Then Jesus called the crowd and his followers to him. He said, “Any of you who want to be my follower must stop thinking about yourself and what you want. You must be willing to carry the cross that is given to you for following me. Any of you who try to save the life you have will lose it. But you who give up your life for me and for the Good News will save it. It is worth nothing for you to have the whole world if you yourself are lost. You could never pay enough to buy back your life. People today are so sinful. They have not been faithful to God. As you live among them, don’t be ashamed of me and my teaching. If that happens, I will be ashamed of you when I come with the glory of my Father and the holy angels.” (‭Mark‬ ‭8‬:‭34-38‬ ERV)

Late that night, the disciples were in their boat in the middle of the lake, and Jesus was alone on land. He saw that they were in serious trouble, rowing hard and struggling against the wind and waves. About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. He intended to go past them, but when they saw him walking on the water, they cried out in terror, thinking he was a ghost. They were all terrified when they saw him. But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage! I am here! ” Then he climbed into the boat, and the wind stopped. They were totally amazed, for they still didn’t understand the significance of the miracle of the loaves. Their hearts were too hard to take it in. (‭Mark‬ ‭6‬:‭47-52‬ NLT)

But Joseph replied, “Don’t be afraid of me. Am I God, that I can punish you? You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people. (‭Genesis‬ ‭50‬:‭16-17, 19-20‬ NLT)

I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave. You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever. (‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭7-11‬ NLT)

Psalms‬ ‭15‬:‭1-5

Who may worship in your sanctuary, LORD? Who may enter your presence on your holy hill? Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts. Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbors or speak evil of their friends.
