Psalm 73:13 - "Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency." In this entire Psalm, the Psalmist is calling out to God about how those of the world seem to prosper in their wickedness, and yet he struggled along, fighting to be clean, and seemingly getting no blessing from God for his desire to be right - until vs. 17. "Until I went into the sanctuary of God, then understood I their end." In the end, sinners will pay for their sin, and we know the joy and blessing we have coming to us in Heaven. Let what we have learned in church about the sinners end, motivate us to compassion for their souls. - Brian Boots

Micah 7:8 - "Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me." The verse never says we won't fall, nor be in darkness, but we have the blessed hope that we will rise, and He will be there to help us through no matter what we face. - Josh Gross

Luke 6:38 - "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure pressed down and shaken together and running over."
Remember in this Christmas season the more you give to God the more you will receive back from Him..."running over" the verse says! - Wes Smith

Proverbs 17:28 - "Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding." How many times this week have I said something without thinking? Making a habit of internally asking God for wisdom before speaking will help us have fewer opportunities of saying something we wish we hadn't. - Jason Brothers

Hebrews 11:13,16 - "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them...But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God..." Do your desires and your amount of faith leave God ashamed or proud to be your God? - Steve Boots

Acts 13:52 - "And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost." Real joy comes as we are filled with the Spirit. I want to ask God each day for the fullness of the Spirit, and consequently a life filled with joy. - John Mark Brothers

Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Praise God that He has a plan (expected end) for all of us and wants to use each of us in a great way. Are we working toward His will for us? - Jason Barrett
