waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. (ESV)

Jesus, we are yours and we will do your will as we wait until you appear in glory. Amen

Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. (ESV)

Jesus answered him, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. (ESV)

Lord, Thank you for making it clear that we must die to our old self in order to truly live in your kingdom. Amen

those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever. (ESV)

Father, help us to grow daily in the knowledge of the Bible and to understand that it will never fade and if we follow your word, it will lead us to your glorious eternal kingdom. Amen

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. (ESV)

Jesus, If my love is not genuine, help me to change. If I am holding onto anything evil, remove it from me. If I have the opportunity, help me to show honor to others and to glorify your name. Amen
