But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. No…
The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble. The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him. Safe in the arms of Jesus,1Safe from corroding care,Safe from…
Wait for the LORD and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land; you will look on when the wicked are cut off. I have seen a wicked, ruthless man, spreading himself like a green laurel tree. But he passed away, and behold, he was no…
The wicked watches for the righteous and seeks to put him to death. The LORD will not abandon him to his power or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial. Lord, those who are followers of the Evil One are always searching and watching for a mis-step…
Remember your word to your servant, in which you have made me hope. Your Word--that you will never leave me or forsake me. Your Word--that you will send the Comforter to guide me into all truth and to remind me of all You have said. Your Word--that You are reigning…

I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread. He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing. As my cup runs over, I must share the Lord's bounty with the needy. I must send…
The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand. What a promise--that my steps are laid out by You as I study and absorb Your Word so that…
The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives; for those blessed by the LORD shall inherit the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off. Perhaps this is an indicator as we work with various individuals to help them become established…
The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will remain forever; they are not put to shame in evil times; in the days of famine they have abundance. But the wicked will perish; the enemies of the LORD are like the glory of the pastures; they vanish--like…
I will also speak of your testimonies before kings and shall not be put to shame, for I find my delight in your commandments, which I love. I am rarely called to speak before kings, Lord, but You do put me before many of the lost, least and lonely. What…
Better is the little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous. Far, far better is the life of righteousness, the life in the presence of the Lord with the assurance of life…
