Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say,

“The Lord is my helper;
    I will not fear;
what can man do to me?”

HEBREWS 13:5-6

12/31/12

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
HEBREWS 13:2

12/29/12

A generation goes, and a generation comes,
    but the earth remains forever.
ECCLESIASTES 1:4

12/28/12

“But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.
LUKE 21:34-36

12/27/12

Remember Lot's wife. Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.
LUKE 17:32-33

12/26/12

Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,
    but blessed is he who keeps the law.
PROVERBS 29:18

12/24/12

He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. For YAHWEH shows no partiality.
ROMANS 2:6-11

12/23/12

“You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied,
    and praise the name of YAHWEH your God,
    who has dealt wondrously with you.
And my people shall never again be put to shame.
²⁷ You shall know that I am in the midst of Israel,
    and that I am YAHWEH your God and there is none else.
And my people shall never again be put to shame.
JOEL 2:26-27

12/22/12

YAHWEH, is my strength;
    he makes my feet like the deer's;
    he makes me tread on my high places.
HABAKKUK 3:19

12/21/12

And YAHWEH answered me:

“Write the vision;
    make it plain on tablets,
    so he may run who reads it.
³ For still the vision awaits its appointed time;
    it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it;
    it will surely come; it will not delay.

⁴ “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,
    but the righteous shall live by his faith.

HABAKKUK 2:2-4

12/20/12

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
MATTHEW 13:45

12/19/12

O YAHWEH, how long shall I cry for help,
    and you will not hear?
Or cry to you “Violence!”
    and you will not save?
³ Why do you make me see iniquity,
    and why do you idly look at wrong?
Destruction and violence are before me;
    strife and contention arise.
⁴ So the law is paralyzed,
    and justice never goes forth.
For the wicked surround the righteous;
    so justice goes forth perverted.

⁵ “Look among the nations, and see;
    wonder and be astounded.
For I am doing a work in your days
    that you would not believe if told.

HABAKKUK 1:2-5

12/15/12

If your law had not been my delight,
    I would have perished in my affliction.
PSALM 119:92

12/14/12

“Now therefore fear YAHWEH and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve YAHWEH. And if it is evil in your eyes to serve YAHWEH, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve YAHWEH.”
JOSHUA 24:14-15

12/13/12

Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land. They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares YAHWEH.
JEREMIAH 1:18-19

12/12/12

You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Yahshua Messiah, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Share in suffering as a good soldier of Yahshua Messiah. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. Think over what I say, for YAHWEH will give you understanding in everything.
2 TIMOTHY 2:1-7

12/11/12

On this mountain YAHWEH of hosts will make for all peoples
    a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine,
    of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.
⁷ And he will swallow up on this mountain
    the covering that is cast over all peoples,
    the veil that is spread over all nations.
⁸     He will swallow up death forever;
and YAHWEH will wipe away tears from all faces,
    and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,
    for YAHWEH has spoken.
⁹ It will be said on that day,
    “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us.
    This is YAHWEH; we have waited for him;
    let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
ISAIAH 25:6-9

12/10/12

Assemble the people—men, women and children, and the foreigners residing in your towns—so they can listen and learn to fear YAHWEH your God and follow carefully all the words of this law. Their children, who do not know this law, must hear it and learn to fear YAHWEH your God as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
DEUTERONOMY 30:12-13

12/9/12

Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to YAHWEH; because of these same detestable practices YAHWEH your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before YAHWEH your God.
DEUTERONOMY 18:10-12

12/8/12

You shall walk after the YAHWEH your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and hold fast to him. 
DEUTERONOMY 13:4

12/7/12

You shall not be in dread of them, for YAHWEH your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God. 
DEUTERONOMY 7:21

12/6/12

Their enemies oppressed them,
    and they were brought into subjection under their power.
⁴³ Many times he delivered them,
    but they were rebellious in their purposes
    and were brought low through their iniquity.

⁴⁴ Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,
    when he heard their cry.
⁴⁵ For their sake he remembered his covenant,
    and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.

PSALM 106:42-45
