Psalm 17:8
Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings.
When you have a little one, usually they are the apple of your eye. The one that you protect because they are so precious in your sight. And David knew that he needed God’s protection and help, so he requested for God to keep him safe in a very turbulent time. The next time you’re facing one of those times, follow his example and ask the LORD to help you!

Psalm 102:25-27
Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away, but you are the same, and your years have no end.
God made all of creation, and yet, we need to remember that He Himself was never created. So even though everything we see around us has a beginning and an end and is guaranteed to wear out, keep in mind, the God who never changes will remain forever.

Numbers 23:19
God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
God made all of creation, and yet, we need to remember that He Himself was never created. So even though everything we see around us has a beginning and an end and is guaranteed to wear out, keep in mind, the God who never changes will remain forever.

Malachi 3:6
For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.
The LORD spoke important guidelines through Moses on how to treat widows, orphans, and foreigners because He wanted to make sure everyone’s needs in Israel were met. However, God’s people over time forgot His ways. They forgot His word and twisted them to mean something different. But God never changed, He remained the same.

James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
You might have that one relative that gives you those ‘special gifts’ whenever it’s your birthday. You know the kind. You pull it out of the box and think, ‘Wow, this sure is something!’ But when God gives you a gift, whether it’s financial, physical, or spiritual, you know it’s the right one because He knows exactly what you need.

Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
So many things change all the time. Seasons change, the weather changes, your body changes. It happens so often it almost becomes the expectation. Yet God, in His grace, has given us something we can hold onto when everything around us is changing: a truth that will never, ever change.

Psalm 40:3
He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.
You might be a sucker for those feel-good videos that show someone blessing somebody else in a mighty way. A new car. A new house. Money placed right into their hands. And what usually follows is praise to the One who actually gave it to them in the first place. The One who heard their cries and turned them into a song of thanksgiving!

Lamentations 3:41
Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven.
When watching a sporting event or a concert, we naturally lift our hands for our favorite team or our favorite singer. But if you think about it, they don’t know the hard days you’ve walked through. Yet God has been there through all of it. So today, why not lift your hands to the One who’s always been with you!

Psalm 145:17
The Lord is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works.
Right and kind. That’s what God has revealed about Himself. He always does what is right, and He is kind in all that He does. That’s not just something God does sometimes, it’s part of His unchanging character. Which means, you can trust where He’s leading you even when you don’t understand the direction He’s taking you.

1 Thessalonians 5:24
He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.
If you’ve accepted Jesus as your Savior, then you’ve been called from darkness to light, from blindness to sight. And it isn’t because you were such a faithful person; it’s because God is faithful. He opened your eyes to your need for Him, and by His grace, you responded to His call.

Ephesians 3:20
God is able to do far more than we could ever ask for or imagine. He does everything by his power that is working in us.
If you’ve ever had anyone buy you ice cream and instead of giving you a single cone, they got you a triple decker cone, then you know what it looks like to get far more than you could ever imagine. And that’s what God is capable of doing when you pray. He’s able to do way more than we could ever expect or imagine.

John 15:11
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
If you had the recipe to help someone be joyful, you’d want them to have it. And Jesus wanted His disciples to have what they needed in order to face the next season without Him. The instructions He gave them were simple: if they stayed close to Him, their circumstances may not be filled with joy, but He would still give them joy.
