The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18
Though the Lord is very great and lives in heaven, he will make Jerusalem his home of justice and righteousness.
In that day he will be your sure foundation, providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the Lord will be your treasure.
Isaiah 33:5,6
The church then had peace throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, and it became stronger as the believers lived in the fear of the Lord. And with the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, it also grew in numbers.
Acts 9:31
Heavenly Father, you are the creator of a vast and varied universe in which you declared all to be good. Around us in the world and within the church which you created, we experience change and division. May we ever be mindful to look to Jesus as our trustworthy source of stability in the midst of change and a center for unity amid all division. Amen.
