The Trumpet by Bill Burns:
Your strength will come when you begin to live in Me, says the Lord. You must truly seek My face before you begin to live and move and have your being in Me. Reach out with every fiber of your being to find that place of sweet communion.
Acts 17:24-28a The God, the One making the world and all the things in it, this One being Lord, of heaven and earth, does not dwell in handmade temples, nor by the hands of men attending is there any feeling any want, Himself giving to all life and breath, and all things; and He made of one blood every nation of men, to dwell upon all the face of the earth, having confirmed beforehand times and the boundaries of their dwelling — to seek the Lord, in the hope that perhaps they might grope for Him and might find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being.
Small Straws by Marsha Burns:
Refuse to allow yourself to get stuck right here. I speak of stagnation spiritually, mentally, or emotionally. Take advantage of every opportunity to be motivated. Consider your options and choose to start moving in the right direction.
Ephesians 2:8-10 For by favor you are being preserved through the belief; and this gift of God is not of you; not of works, lest any should boast. For we are a thing made by Him, being created in Christ Jesus for good works, the ones whom God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Psalm 124
Our Help Is in the Name of the LORD
A Song of Degrees: If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say; if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us; then would the ones living have swallowed us in the provoking to anger of His rage against us. Then would the water have drowned us; our soul going through the rushing stream. Surely, our soul would have gone through the unsubdued water. Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth. Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken and we were rescued. Our help is in the name of the Lord, the One making the heaven and the earth.
