Psalms 37:7-11 #TPT
Quiet your heart in his presence and wait patiently for Yahweh. And don’t think for a moment that the wicked, in their prosperity, are better off than you.
Stay away from anger and revenge. Keep envy far from you, for it only leads you into lies.
For one day the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will inherit the land.
Just a little while longer and the ungodly will vanish; you will look for them in vain.
But the humble of heart will inherit every promise and enjoy abundant peace.

Romans 15:4-7 #TPT
Whatever was written beforehand is meant to instruct us in how to live. The Scriptures impart to us encouragement and inspiration so that we can live in hope and endure all things.
Now may God, the source of great endurance and comfort, grace you with unity among yourselves, which flows from your relationship with Jesus, the Anointed One.
Then, with a unanimous rush of passion, you will with one voice glorify God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
You will bring God glory when you accept and welcome one another as partners, just as the Anointed One has fully accepted you and received you as his partner.

“Do you not know? Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood since the earth was founded?
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.”
Isaiah 40:21-23
Psalms 34:15-19 #TPT
The Lord sees all we do; he watches over his friends day and night. His godly ones receive the answers they seek whenever they cry out to him.
But the Lord has made up his mind to oppose evildoers and to wipe out even the memory of them from the face of the earth.
Yet when holy lovers of God cry out to him with all their hearts, the Lord will hear them and come to rescue them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to all whose hearts are crushed by pain, and he is always ready to restore the repentant one.
Even when bad things happen to the good and godly ones, the Lord will save them and not let them be defeated by what they face.

Proverbs 12:15-20 #TPT
A fool is in love with his own opinion, but wisdom means being teachable.
If you shrug off an insult and refuse to take offense, you demonstrate discretion indeed. But the fool has a short fuse and will immediately let you know when he’s offended.
Truthfulness marks the righteous, but the habitual liar can never be trusted.
Reckless words are like the thrusts of a sword, cutting remarks meant to stab and to hurt. But the words of the wise soothe and heal.
Truthful words will stand the test of time, but one day every lie will be seen for what it is.
Deception fills the hearts of those who plot harm, but those who plan for peace are filled with joy.

Romans 3:20-24 #TPT
For by the merit of observing the law no one earns the status of being declared righteous before God, for it is the law that fully exposes and unmasks the reality of sin.
But now, independently of the law, the righteousness of God is tangible and brought to light through Jesus, the Anointed One.
This is the righteousness that the Scriptures prophesied would come. It is God’s righteousness made visible through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. And now all who believe in him receive that gift. For there is really no difference between us,
for we all have sinned and are in need of the glory of God.
Yet through his powerful declaration of acquittal, God freely gives away his righteousness. His gift of love and favor now cascades over us, all because Jesus, the Anointed One, has liberated us from the guilt, punishment, and power of sin!

Titus 2:11-14 #TPT
God’s marvelous grace has manifested in person, bringing salvation for everyone.
This same grace teaches us how to live each day as we turn our backs on ungodliness and indulgent lifestyles, and it equips us to live self-controlled, upright, godly lives in this present age.
For we continue to wait for the fulfillment of our hope in the dawning splendor of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus, the Anointed One.
He sacrificed himself for us that he might purchase our freedom from every lawless deed and to purify for himself a people who are his very own, passionate to do what is beautiful in his eyes.

You may have an abundance of wealth, piles of gold and jewels, but there is something of far greater worth: speaking revelation-words of knowledge.
