Now The Lord Is The Spirit, And

And Whoever Lives By Believing In Me Will Never Die. Do You Believe This?”

For I Know The Plans I Have For You, Declares The Lord, Plans For Welfare And Not For Evil, To Give You A Future And A Hope.

So We Do Not Lose Heart. Though Our Outer Self Is Wasting Away, Our Inner Self Is Being Renewed Day By Day. For This Light Momentary Affliction Is Preparing For Us An Eternal Weight Of Glory Beyond All Comparison, As We Look Not To The Things That Are Seen But To The Things That Are Unseen. For The Things That Are Seen Are Transient, But The Things That Are Unseen Are Eternal.

9 But You Are A Chosen People, A Royal Priesthood, A Holy Nation, God’s Special Possession, That You May Declare The Praises Of Him Who Called You Out Of Darkness Into His Wonderful Light. 10 Once You Were Not A People, But Now You Are The People Of God; Once You Had Not Received Mercy, But Now You Have Received Mercy. 11 Dear Friends, I Urge You, As Foreigners And Exiles, To Abstain From Sinful Desires, Which Wage War Against Your Soul.

Trust In The Lord With All Your Heart, And Do Not Lean On Your Own Understanding. In All Your Ways Acknowledge Him, And He Will Make Straight Your Paths.
