“So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do.” 2 Thessalonians 1:11 Let your faith drive your dreams. And trust God to empower them.

“See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.” 1 Thessalonians 5:15 Revenge is overrated. Find peace in forgiveness and letting go. Then, let God handle it. Love the people around you. All of them.

“Indeed, you already show your love for all the believers throughout Macedonia. Even so, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you to love them even more.” 1 Thessalonians 4:10 When you think you have loved people well, strive to love them better. Don’t settle, grow in love.

“We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too.” 1 Thessalonians 2:8 Seek to share more than words. It is the relationships you build that often give your words power. Invest in people.

“for wherever we go we find people telling us about your faith in God. We don’t need to tell them about it,” 1 Thessalonians 1:8b Are you living in a way that the legend of your faith is told by other believers around you? That’s the standard. Reach for it!

“Epaphras…He always prays earnestly for you, asking God to make you strong and perfect, fully confident that you are following the whole will of God.” Colossians 4:12b Who are you praying for like this today? If you’re not, pick a friend and start now.

“Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.” Colossians 3:10 Each day you have a choice to allow the Holy Spirit to renew you or to walk in the flesh. Choose Him. Allow him to change you.

“And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him.” Colossians 2:6 Following Jesus is more than a moment. It’s about continually following. Don’t rest on what you did yesterday. Choose to follow again today.

“So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. We want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ.” Colossians 1:28 Wisdom is of ultimate value. Pray for it. Cherish it. Share it with others.

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Phil 4:8 Focus controls your mindset. Put in what you want out.

“I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” Philippians 3:14 Press on. Finish strong. Let these words be an encouragement to you if you feel tired, unmotivated, or on the verge of giving up.

“Do everything without complaining and arguing,” Philippians 2:14 What if you dropped complaining and arguing from your life completely? What would change? Try it for a day and see how much more you honor God AND how it shifts your attitude.

“Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.” Philippians 2:3 Trying to look a certain way so that others might be impressed is the fastest way to compromise on how you want to live.

“I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding.” Philippians 1:9 Be full of love. Seek continued growth. This is the way to joy. In every success and failure, there is an opportunity to learn. Take it.

“A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.” Ephesians 6:10 Do you feel weak? Powerless? Facing an uphill climb you can’t finish? Our strength comes from God! Ask him to fill you with the power of his Spirit! Then you will have strength to overcome.

“For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!” Ephesians 5:8 It never ceases to amaze me that God chose to bless us with a relationship with him. That undeserved love drives me to live and love differently.

“Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth.” Ephesians 4:14 Unity and maturity lead us to strength.

“Though I am the least deserving of all God’s people, he graciously gave me the privilege of telling the Gentiles about the endless treasures available to them in Christ.” Ephesians 3:8 If God has called you and you are obedient, he will accomplish much through you.

“He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups.” Ephesians 2:15 God brings unity, not division. Stand together. Don’t tear someone else down.

“Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come.” Eph 1:21 Never forget the authority of God. No other leader surpasses him. Don’t get your priorities out of order by putting another above him.

“Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.” Galatians 6:7 What you put in, is what you get out. What you do in secret will be harvested. What are you planting?

“For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.” Galatians 5:13 Be a servant above all else. Then you will be full.

“Have I now become your enemy because I am telling you the truth?” Galatians 4:16 Speak the truth in love. But love means acting I g in the best interest of another, period. Even if they don’t want the truth, you still must speak it gently. That’s real love. Real leadership.

“So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”” Galatians 3:11 You can’t be good enough to gain right standing with God. Only faith in him brings new life.

“As a result, other Jewish believers followed Peter’s hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.” Galatians 2:13 We don’t just need consistency in our preparation, but in our execution and leadership as well. Where are you leading people?

“Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.” Galatians 1:10 Your mission is not to IMPRESS people. It is to IMPACT people for God’s glory.

Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.” 2 Corinthians 13:10-11 Joy, growth, encouraging others, living at peace with others… all take intentionality. You have to choose to step into it.

“Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 The truth is, we are always weak compared to God. He can do more… so let him.

“You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach...” 2 Cor 11:4 There is only one way. Don’t stand back & listen to false teaching. Step up & teach the truth yourself. Sometimes saying nothing sounds like you agree.

“When people commend themselves, it doesn’t count for much. The important thing is for the Lord to commend them.” 2 Cor 10:18 Don’t live for approval of man. No need to pat yourself on the back or hype yourself up. Instead, be satisfied in living for God. Let him say well done.

“Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.” 2 Corinthians 9:6 If you give little effort, you have little chance to succeed. Increase your chances by controlling what you can control.

“Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly. And give according to what you have, not what you don’t have.” 2 Corinthians 8:12 Giving is about your heart. It’s about sacrifice. Not an obligation or giving leftovers. Honor God by giving him your first.

“Now I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you, but because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways. It was the kind of sorrow God wants his people to have, so you were not harmed by us in any way.” 2 Cor 7:9 Recognize the progress that comes from pain. Embrace it.

“We live in such a way that no one will stumble because of us, and no one will find fault with our ministry.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬ bible.com/bible/116/2c...

“So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now!” 2 Cor 5:16 Stop looking at the world through your human lens. Ask God to see people from his perspective.

“We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.” 2 Corinthians 4:9 Life is going to punch you in the mouth. BUT we should remember that we don’t have to bounce back on our own. God is present always. He lifts us and empowers us.

“For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” 2 Corinthians 3:17 Freedom is the ability live without fear. The opportunity to move as one wishes. Freedom exists inside God’s boundaries. Trust him and stay within his vision.

“I wrote to you as I did to test you and see if you would fully comply with my instructions.” 2 Corinthians 2:9 Sometimes our obedience, and love, is being tested without us knowing. What the easy solution? Be CONSISTENT in obedience and love.

“He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.” 2 Cor 1:4 If you’re going through something right now, turn to God: the source of all comfort. Become a comforter like Him.

“Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love.” 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Growth. Success. Victory… all take effort. Effort to watch for pitfalls. Effort to keep your feet planted. Effort to put others first. Embrace the challenge!

“And what you put in the ground is not the plant that will grow, but only a bare seed of wheat or whatever you are planting.” 1 Cor 15:37 Growth is a process. If we want to see the plant be produced, we must be faithful in planting. Consistent work and patience deliver growth.

“For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the meetings of God’s holy people.” 1 Corinthians 14:33 God will be clarity, not confusion. Follow Him. Pray. Listen. His answers will be helpful.

“Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13 Put other’s wellbeing above your own, always. This is love. It’s a winning formula.

“There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all.” 1 Corinthians 12:4 We all have different gifts, skills, personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. But we were intended to use them all for the same purpose. One team. One family.

“And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.” 1 Corinthians 11:1 Can you lead in such a consistent way that you could just tell others to copy your behavior and have confidence they’re following the Word of God?

“Don’t be concerned for your own good but for the good of others.” 1 Corinthians 10:24 Let’s be honest, it’s tough to practice this command in EVERY area of life. Look at your life today and find one way to be more selfless. Do the same tomorrow and the next day.
