Wherever in the world you may be, whatever you may be going through, if the world seems cruel, seemingly in confusion and dissension, find comfort, strength, and clarity, in the WORD of GOD:
1. FOCUS on things "above".
3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
Colossians 3:1-2
King James Version
2. TRUST God with all your heart.
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
King James Version
3. LOVE God.
28 And we know that all things
work together for good
to them that love God,
to them who are the called
according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
King James Version
4. BELIEVE that JESUS is the SON of GOD.
14 And we have seen and do testify
that the Father sent the Son
to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess
that Jesus is the Son of God,
God dwelleth in him,
and he in God.
1 John 4:14-15
King James Version
5. FOLLOW Jesus for He is the WAY to GOD.
6 Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way,
the truth,
and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.
John 14:6
King James Version
6. LOVE one another.
34 A new commandment I give unto you,
That ye love one another;
as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know
that ye are my disciples,
if ye have love one to another.
John 13:34-35
King James Version
7. STAY strong in God's WORD.
2 And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed
by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove
what is that good,
and acceptable,
and perfect,
will of God.
Romans 12:2
King James Version
8. TURN to the LORD GOD.
12 Therefore also now,
saith the Lord,
turn ye even to me
with all your heart,
and with fasting,
and with weeping,
and with mourning:
13 And rend your heart,
and not your garments,
and turn unto the Lord your God:
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger,
and of great kindness,
and repenteth him of the evil.
Joel 2:12-13
King James Version
9. "BE strong in the Lord."
10 Finally, my brethren,
be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities,
against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness
of this world,
against spiritual wickedness
in high places.
Ephesians 6:10-12
King James Version
