Ecclesiastes 5:1 - "Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil." When your foundation is right, you will be ready for what God has for you in every message. Don't let a distraction make you miss what God has planned just for you.  - Phil Dann

Psalms 119:133 - "Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me." This is something to pray for daily, not just for ourselves, but for our children as they grow up, to follow paths of righteousness. - Phil Dann

2 Chronicles 15:12 - "And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul." There is no better way to start each day, than to want God's will in our lives and pray for it.  - Phil Dann

Proverbs 12:11 -"He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding."  I like this verse partially because I have a large garden and God gives us a lot of good things from it.  I also see it to mean that if we teach our children about Jesus and what's right, we will see the fruits of our labor if their lives.  - Phil Dann

Numbers 22:18 - "And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to do less or more." Balaam stood firm as Balak's servants offered him great honor and anything he wanted IF he would curse the people. It's a difficult thing to resist when Satan puts temptation close to your heart in reach.  In the next verses, Balaam doesn't follow God's leading.  May we daily pray for wisdom to withstand the temptations set before us. - Phil Dann

Proverbs 20:12 - "The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them."  How are we using the parts that God made for us?  At work, home, etc.  Are we taking in what God would like to hold in His vessel?  - Phil Dann

Proverbs 2:1,5 - "My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; ... Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God."  This is not just to sons, but to us as part of being a child of God.  Do we understand what God is trying to show us?  If not, what is taking the place of God's Word in our hearts? - Phil Dann

Genesis 28:20-21 - "And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, So that I come again to my father's house in peace, then shall  the LORD be my God."  Jacob here has just awoken from a dream where the Lord met with him.  As husbands and fathers, we need to daily ask God to provide for our families both physically and spiritually.  - Phil Dann

Revelation 22:8-9 - "And I John saw these things and heard them.  And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.  Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God."  As busy as things may be here, keep what the angel told John to do in the forefront of all that we do...."worship God". - Phil Dann

Revelation 2:17 - "He that an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."  God has so much for us if we will just take the time to daily search the Scriptures and meet with Him. - Phil Dann

Philippians 3:17 - "Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample." I'm so thankful that we have a church full of Christ-honoring men and women that my children can look up to as they grow up. - Phil Dann

Romans 4:7,8 - "...Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.  Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin." Because of salvation, to have the Lord not hold us to the sins in our lives is immeasurable.  To share this blessing with others is priceless.  - Phil Dann

Acts 25:7 - "And when he was come, the Jews which came down  from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove." Paul went through many trials and persecutions that tested his faith.  Remember that God will be with us in all that we face today.  How we handle them reflects our faith and trust in Him.  - Phil Dann

John 14:13,14 - "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it." As fathers, we want to provide the best for our children even if they don't ask.  How does God want to provide for us?  Jesus tells us twice in a row...ask in his name and he will do it.  There's no limit if we ask with the right heart. -Phil Dann

Luke 4:8 - "And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan:  for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."  With the increasing temptations of the day, this verse will shield us from Satan's firey darts if all we do is call on God. - Phil Dann

Luke 21:27,28 - "And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." The 2 verses leading up to today's verse could have well been written today, concerning signs of the times.  Let's eagerly await our Lord's coming, and be found faithful regardless of the pressures of the world we live in. - Phil Dann

Mark 13:7 - And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet."  God allows everything in this world to happen as part of His will.  We should be encouraged daily in what unfolds before us and that He's coming again soon.  Let us be found busy in His will.  - Phil Dann
