Isaiah 40:8
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.
H. L. Hastings said, The Bible is a book which has been refuted, demolished, overthrown, and exploded more times than any other book you ever heard of. And yet, there are more Bibles on earth today than there are copies of any other book ever written. It’s because a long time ago God made a promise, and He always keeps His promises.

Psalm 91:7
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
Health crises, financial problems, relational struggles…they happen to people every day. And while God never promises you a life without difficulty, He does promise His presence will go with you wherever you go. That means whatever you face today, you can be confident that you won’t face it alone. You will face it with God as your refuge and strength.

Matthew 21:44
And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.
In this life we will fall, and Jesus said, we will either fall on Him in brokenness and humility or because of offense, we will stiffen our necks, and the Stone will fall on us. The first person is graciously lifted, the second is consequently crushed. So, if your fall is imminent, make sure you stumble on the One who catches those who fall.

Psalm 37:24
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholds him with His hand.
Each of us is destined to fall. You can thank your first parents for that fact. But after you fall, you can fall again at the feet of Jesus. And the grace of God will come pick you up, dust you off, and give you the grace to start all over again. And again. And again. He’s just that good.

Genesis 8:22
While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.
You can stand on the promises of God because they will stand the test of time. And this promise has been around since the beginning of time. As long as the earth is still spinning in space, then there will be seeds to plant, fruit to harvest, super chilly days and uber hot days! And it’s comforting to know that nothing will ever change that!

Proverbs 20:4
The lazy man will not plow because of winter; He will beg during harvest and have nothing.
If you asked most people what they look forward to every weekend, it would probably be sleeping in. It feels good to be lazy occasionally, but when that laziness affects your ability to feed your family, that’s when you know there’s a problem. So, whether it’s in our work, our relationships, or our spiritual growth let’s steer clear of laziness and focus on diligence.
