The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, — Acts 17:24-26 (NASB1995) Yahweh gives to ALL people. Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. (James 1:17 NASB1995) He determined our appointed times, giving each person a time and place to live and thrive. We are here for such a time as this, called according to His purpose and plan. “His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us. (Acts 17:27 NLT) “ God overl...

The Voice Bible says: God will be what holds things together, fast and firm during these times… (Isaiah 33:6a). He will hold our families together. He will hold His church together. It is key to fear, reverence and honor the Lord, our God. In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence... (Proverbs 14:26a NASB) Fix your thoughts upon the LORD. Lord, You have been our dwelling place [our refuge, our sanctuary, our stability] in all generations. — Psalm 90:1 (AMP)

In the midst of turmoil, He is our constant and everlasting peace. Keep your trust and hope in the LORD. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary. (Hebrews 6:19 NLT)

...God gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding. He’s a rich mine of Common Sense for those who live well, a personal bodyguard to the candid and sincere. He keeps his eye on all who live honestly, and pays special attention to his loyally committed ones. — Proverbs 2:6-8 (MSG) When we are loyally committed to the Lord, we pay special attention to Him, and we put Him first in everything we do and say. Faithful followers give careful attention to His Word, they treasure it in their hearts and do what it says. Wisdom is a gift from a generous God, and every word he speaks is full of revelation and becomes a fountain of understanding within you. (Proverbs 2:6 TPT) He becomes your personal bodyguard as you follow his ways, protecting and guarding you as you choose what is right. (Proverbs 2:8 TPT) So—join the company of good men and women, keep your feet on the tried-and-true paths. It’s the men who walk straight who will settle this land, the women with ...

So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be with you.” — John 20:19 (NASB) The LORD gives his people strength; the LORD blesses his people with peace. (Psalm 29:11 CSB) …let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. (Colossians 3:15 NLT) The Amplified Bible says peace is the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him. Let us walk through each day with Him. Stay aware of His Presence, with you, and you will abide in His peace. In His Presence, we are empowered to overcome the troubles and trials of this world. “ Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled or fearful. ” — John 14:27 (CSB)

... if you pay close attention to wisdom, and let your mind reach for understanding,  then you will understand the fear of the LORD and you will find the knowledge of God. The LORD gives wisdom. From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. — Proverbs 2:2, 5-6 (GW) Wisdom sings her song in the streets. In the public squares she raises her voice. At the corners of noisy streets she calls out. (Proverbs 1:20-21a GW)  Whoever listens to her will live without worry and will be free from the dread of disaster. (Proverbs 1:33 GW) If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5 NASB)

“The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life [which inspires me].” — Job 33:4 (AMP) God the LORD, created the heavens and stretched them out, He spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, He gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk on it.

He woke you up this morning because He loves you and He has a plan for you to execute today. Whatever mistakes you made yesterday, He showered you with new mercies this morning. The reality that He woke you up this morning means He has more for you. Be inspired with the fact that He has not brought you this far to abandon you now.

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. — James 1:5-6 (NIV) With all the decisions and choices we make on any given day, we all need wisdom. Remember to ask our heavenly Father, who knows all and sees all, for the wisdom to make the right choices. “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.!” (Luke 11:9-10 NIV). May you confidently walk in the wisdom of God and not fall in the trap of the enemy.

And his heart took delight in the ways of the LORD; — 2 Chronicles 17:6 (NKJV) The LORD was with King Jehoshaphat, because he walked in His commandments (2 Chronicles 17:3-4). The LORD established the kingdom of Judah in his hand and Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance (2 Chronicles 17:5). May we wholeheartedly take great delight in the ways of the LORD. His ways are loving and compassionate. The LORD is full of grace and mercy. His ways are forgiving and faithful. The LORD gives generously. His ways are the way of truth, light and life. Make a dedicated decision to walk in His ways, everyday.

“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”  — James 4:6 (NKJV) Humility is the acknowledgement that anything we accomplish in this life is only by the grace of God. Humility recognizes that everything we have belongs to Him. God empowered us with the strength, wisdom and all that we needed to come this far. Romans 12:3 (AMP) says, [not to have an exaggerated opinion of your own importance]. So, don’t get puffed up with pride. Instead, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, (1 Peter 5:6, NKJV). Be thankful for all of your successful endeavors and continue to depend on and be devoted to God, with all your heart.

Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. — Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV) In Hosea 4:6, the LORD says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Through knowledge the righteous will be delivered (Proverbs 11:9). When we lack wisdom in any situation, let us ask God for it and it will be given unto us. He gives generously to all, without finding fault (James 1:5). Wisdom prolongs the length of our days and brings riches and honor (Proverbs 3:16). Wisdom also brings success (Ecclesiastes 10:10). Wisdom calls aloud outside (Proverbs 1:20) Will you answer her call?

It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night,
 anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones . — Psalm 127:2 (NLT)  It is not by might nor by power, but by the Spirit of the LORD that we accomplish anything of value and lasting significance. Jesus said, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]” —Matthew 11:28, (AMP). Continually come to Jesus and find rest for your weary soul.

The entrance of Your words gives light;  It gives understanding to the simple.  — Psalm 119:130 (NKJV) God's Word translation says, "Your Word is a doorway that lets in light," (Psalm 119:130). Open the doorway of your mind to God's Word daily and let it be renewed. His Word is a light for your path. It will show you which way to go.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. — James 1:5 (NKJV) King Solomon asked God for an understanding heart and God indeed gave Him a wise and understanding heart (1 Kings 3:9, 4:29). Likewise, if we lack wisdom, all we have to do is ask God, who generously gives to all. Why be confused or perplexed? Our God is all-knowing and we have His Spirit living inside of us. He knows exactly what we need to do and when, in every situation. If you don't know what to do, just ask our heavenly Father for wisdom and an understanding heart.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.  — Psalm 84:11 (NKJV) “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you,” (Isaiah 60:1). God is our everlasting light. He is the sun that comes shining through, on your darkest day. The LORD is a shield around us, that protects us from the flaming arrows of the evil one. Our heavenly Father is full of grace and glory and He generously gives good things to those who consistently do what is right.

The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.  — Psalm 29:11 (NIV) The LORD gives us the strength we need to get through each day. If you are weak or weary, find strength in the LORD, our God. We can do all things through Him who gives us strength (Philippians 4:13). And let the perfect peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
