Psalms 17:3-6 #TPT
For in a visitation of the night you inspected my heart and refined my soul in fire until nothing vile was found in me. I will not sin with my words.
Following your word has kept me from wrong. Your ways have molded my footsteps, keeping me from going down the paths of the violent.
My steps follow in the tracks of your chariot wheels, always staying in their path, never straying from your way.
You will answer me, God; I know you always will. Hear my words like you always do as you listen to my every prayer.

Psalms 66:1-5 #TPT
Everyone everywhere, lift up your joyful shout to God!
Sing your songs tuned to his glory! Tell the world how wonderful he is.
For he’s the awe-inspiring God, great and glorious in power! We’ve never seen anything like him! Mighty in miracles, you cause your enemies to tremble. No wonder they all surrender and bow before you!
All the earth will bow down to worship; all the earth will sing your glories forever!
Pause in his presence
Everyone will say, “Come and see the incredible things God has done; it will take your breath away! He multiplies miracles for his people!”

Ephesians 5:1-2 #TPT
Be imitators of God in everything you do, for then you will represent your Father as his beloved sons and daughters.
And continue to walk surrendered to the extravagant love of Christ, for he surrendered his life as a sacrifice for us. His great love for us was pleasing to God, like an aroma of adoration—a sweet healing fragrance.

Psalms 119:129-133 _TPT
Your marvelous words are living miracles; no wonder I long to obey everything you say.
Break open your Word within me until revelation-light shines out! Those with open hearts are given insight into your plans.
I open my mouth and inhale the Word of God because I crave the revelation of your commands.
Turn your heart to me, Lord, and show me your grace like you do to every one of your godly lovers.
Prepare before me a path filled with your promises, and don’t allow even one sin to have dominion over me.

James (Jacob) 4:5-7 #TPT
Does the Scripture mean nothing to you that says, “The Spirit that God breathed into our hearts is a jealous Lover who intensely desires to have more and more of us”? But he continues to pour out more and more grace upon us. For it says, “God resists you when you are proud but continually pours out grace when you are humble.”
So then, surrender to God. Stand up to the devil and resist him and he will flee in agony.

1 Peter 3:12-17 #TPT
For the eyes of the Lord Yahweh rest upon the godly, and his heart responds to their prayers. But he turns his back on those who practice evil.
Why would anyone harm you if you’re passionate and devoted to pleasing God?
But even if you happen to suffer for doing what is right, you will have the joyful experience of the blessing of God. And Don’t be intimidated or terrified by those who would terrify you.
But give reverent honor in your hearts to the Anointed One and treat him as the holy Master of your lives. And if anyone asks about the hope living within you, always be ready to explain your faith
with gentleness and respect. Maintain a clean conscience, so that those who slander you for living a pure life in Christ will have to lie about you and will be ashamed because of their slander.
For it is better to suffer for doing good, if it is in God’s plan, than for doing evil.

Psalms 66:1-4 #TPT
Everyone everywhere, lift up your joyful shout to God!
Sing your songs tuned to his glory! Tell the world how wonderful he is.
For he’s the awe-inspiring God, great and glorious in power! We’ve never seen anything like him! Mighty in miracles, you cause your enemies to tremble. No wonder they all surrender and bow before you!
All the earth will bow down to worship; all the earth will sing your glories forever!

Psalms 119:18-23 #TPT
Open my eyes to see the miracle-wonders hidden in Scripture.
My life on earth is so brief, so tutor me in the ways of your wisdom.
I am continually consumed by these irresistible longings, these cravings to obey your every commandment!
Your displeasure rests with those who are arrogant, who think they know everything; you rebuke the rebellious who refuse your laws.
Don’t let them mock and scorn me for obeying you.
For even if the princes and my leaders choose to criticize me, I will continue to serve you and walk in your plans for my life.

Proverbs 28:10 #TPT
Those who tempt the lovers of God with an evil scheme will fall into their own traps. But the innocent who resist temptation will experience reward.

Colossians 3:15-17 #TPT
Let your heart be always guided by the peace of the Anointed One, who called you to peace as part of his one body. And always be thankful. Let the word of Christ live in you richly, flooding you with all wisdom. Apply the Scriptures as you teach and instruct one another with the Psalms, and with festive praises, and with prophetic songs given to you spontaneously by the Spirit, so sing to God with all your hearts!
Let every activity of your lives and every word that comes from your lips be drenched with the beauty of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. And bring your constant praise to God the Father because of what Christ has done for you!

Hebrews 4:12-15 #TPT
For we have the living Word of God, which is full of energy, like a two-mouthed sword. It will even penetrate to the very core of our being where soul and spirit, bone and marrow meet! It interprets and reveals the true thoughts and secret motives of our hearts.
There is not one person who can hide their thoughts from God, for nothing that we do remains a secret, and nothing created is concealed, but everything is exposed and defenseless before his eyes, to whom we must render an account.
So then, we must cling in faith to all we know to be true. For we have a magnificent King-Priest, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who rose into the heavenly realm for us, and now sympathizes with us in our frailty.
He understands humanity, for as a man, our magnificent King-Priest was tempted in every way just as we are, and conquered sin.
#Bible #ThePassionTranslation
James (Jacob) 1:19-23 #TPT
My dearest brothers and sisters, take this to heart: Be quick to listen, but slow to speak. And be slow to become angry,
for human anger is never a legitimate tool to promote God’s righteous purpose.
So this is why we abandon everything morally impure and all forms of wicked conduct. Instead, with a sensitive spirit we absorb God’s Word, which has been implanted within our nature, for the Word of Life has power to continually deliver us.
Don’t just listen to the Word of Truth and not respond to it, for that is the essence of self-deception. So always let his Word become like poetry written and fulfilled by your life!
If you listen to the Word and don’t live out the message you hear, you become like the person who looks in the mirror of the Word to discover the reflection of his face in the beginning.

Proverbs 1:20-24 #TPT
Wisdom’s praises are sung in the streets and celebrated far and wide.
Yet wisdom’s song is not always heard in the halls of higher learning. But in the hustle and bustle of everyday life its lyrics can always be heard above the din of the crowd. You will hear wisdom’s warning as she preaches courageously to those who stop to listen:
“Foolish ones, how much longer will you cling to your deception? How much longer will you mock wisdom, you cynical scorners who fight the facts?
Come back to your senses and be restored to reality. Don’t even think about refusing my rebuke! Don’t you know that I’m ready to pour out my spirit of wisdom upon you and bring to you the revelation of my words that will make your heart wise?
I’ve called to you over and over; still you refuse to come to me. I’ve pleaded with you again and again, yet you’ve turned a deaf ear to my voice.
#Bible #ThePassionTranslation
Philippians 3:12-14 #TPT
I admit that I haven’t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I’m pursuing, but I run with passion into his abundance so that I may reach the purpose for which Christ Jesus laid hold of me to make me his own.
I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead.
I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus.

Philippians 3:1-3 #TPT
My beloved ones, don’t ever limit your joy or fail to rejoice in the wonderful experience of knowing our Lord Jesus! I don’t mind repeating what I’ve already written you because it protects you —
beware of those religious hypocrites who teach that you should be circumcised to please God.
For we have already experienced “heart-circumcision,” and we worship God in the power and freedom of the Holy Spirit, not in laws and religious duties. We are those who boast in what Jesus Christ has done, and not in what we can accomplish in our own strength.

The flooding in China is crazy!
It is going to impact China in many ways! Many people are missing! Many people have drowned, as most Chinese do not know how to swim. There are people crying out for help to find their loved ones! Entire Farms have been washed away! Apparently millions of livestock have drowned or been basically standing in flood waters unable to eat for days! This will once again create a lack of food! Entire crops gone! Entire livelihoods washed away! We will be looking at price increases for food here once again! At the beginning to Covid they went high but have been slowly coming back down......but this will once again change things!
Chinese Christians are banding together and helping in the most beautiful sacrificial ways! It brings me to tears as I hear reports of brothers and sisters racing to the flood frontlines to help!
this small video is nearby where we live and it is nothing compared to Henan flooding! Our friend sent it....
Psalms 121:5-8 #TPT
Yahweh himself will watch over you; he’s always at your side to shelter you safely in his presence.
He’s protecting you from all danger both day and night.
He will keep you from every form of evil or calamity as he continuously watches over you.
You will be guarded by God himself. You will be safe when you leave your home, and safely you will return. He will protect you now, and he’ll protect you forevermore!
#Bible #ThePassionTranslation
Psalms 131:1-3 #TPT
Lord, my heart is meek before you. I don’t consider myself better than others. I’m content to not pursue matters that are over my head— such as your complex mysteries and wonders— that I’m not yet ready to understand.
I am humbled and quieted in your presence. Like a contented child who rests on its mother’s lap, I’m your resting child and my soul is content in you.
O people of God, your time has come to quietly trust, waiting upon the Lord now and forever.
