Blurred Vision

So let's keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision - you'll see it yet!... (Ph3:15,16 The Message Bible)

Same Old Same Old

Watch what God does, and then do it, like children who learn proper behaviour from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with Him and learn a life of love....He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of Himself to us. Love like that. (Ep5:1,2 The Message)

Feeling Low

Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise Him again - my Savior and my God! But each day the LORD pours His unfailing love on me, and through each night I sing His songs, praying to God who gives me life. (Ps42:5,8)

Feet and Foundations

For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have - Jesus Christ. (1Co3:11) ..."Look! I am placing a foundation Stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested Stone. It is a precious Cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken. (Is28:16) ..the Cornerstone is Jesus Christ Himself. (Ep2:20)

Having God Given Authority

...Just say the word from where You are, and my servant will be healed. I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, 'Go', and they go... (Ma8:8,9) But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege,right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name. (Jo1:12 the Amplified Bible)

Familiarity

He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the Cross. In this way, He disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by His victory over them on the Cross. (Col2:14,15)
