John 13:34 - "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."  For some reason it seems that Christians love to attack each other. Even though we have this command from Jesus. Looking through the Word, Jesus never yells or screams at His disciples yet He rebuked them. Let's take His approach on handling sin and not griping about each other, but help build each other closer to Him. - Josh Gross

Romans 5:3,4 - "And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience and experience, hope..." We want the patience of Job but we don't want the tribulations...we gain patience, experience, and hope when we go through tough times. So thank God for them! - Wes Smith

Psalm 127:1a - "Except the Lord build the house  they labor in vain that build it." What are we building in our life?  As a Christian, my foundation is on the Solid Rock but the bricks and walls of selfishness and self-gratification must be replaced with His desires, will, and way for our lives.  Let's not forget that all our personal plans for life are as sinking sand if they are outside of God's construction. - Jason Brothers

Ecclesiastes 3:14 - "I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him." We can rest in the assurance that no matter what happens, God is in control. As His children, we have no reason to worry about anything. We just need to let God do His work in our lives. - Steve Boots

2 Kings 6:17 - "And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see.  And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw:  and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha."  May the Lord open our eyes so we can see His forces as we face the world today. - John Mark Brothers

Isaiah 1:17 - "Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow."  Think of how God could use us and what an encouragement we'd be to others by living this way each day! - Jason Barrett

Hebrews 12:3 - "For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself,  lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds." It is shameful how many times in my life I have wondered whether it was worth all of the struggle to follow Christ. The thing that always brought me out of that thought process was thinking about what He struggled through for me.  As someone has said, "When you start to feel down,  look up." - Jason Myers
