Bible Verse of the Day - Trusting in the Lord Will Keep You Safe

The Bible is an invaluable resource, a guide that can help you face difficult times. The Lord's love and care for you are reflected in the verses. Fear of man can become a trap, but trusting in the Lord will keep you safe. In this article, I'll share three bible verses that I find helpful. If you haven't read them yet, here they are:

Proverbs 15:1

An upright person has an understanding heart. He seeks wisdom. A fool feeds on foolishness. A patient person calms a quarrel. A wise person stays on course. And he heeds rebuke. He is wise because he fears God. He understands the nature of wisdom. The following are some things to keep in mind as you live your life. The following are some examples of how to live by this Bible verse:

Solomon understood that a person's words reveal their thoughts. Those who live in sin and follow religious rituals will find God disapproving. But he will praise those who walk in righteousness. He loves the people who obey him. Even a child loves a parent. That's why the Lord loves the children, no matter how young they are. He has a plan for everyone.

Cast all your anxieties on him

The Bible says that we should "cast all our anxiety on him". It sounds like a simple concept, but there's more to it than that. In fact, it is a part of humility. Casting our anxieties on God is part of the process of humbling ourselves, so that we can better trust him with our lives. In this way, we become free from the burden of our worries and anxieties.

In order to truly trust God with your anxieties, you need to believe that he will take care of your concerns. This is important because worrying is not good for your life. The Bible says that when we trust God with our problems, we will walk in his strength. But how can we do this? Here are some ways to cast our anxieties on Christ:

Have a good conscience

What does it mean to have a good conscience? To have a good conscience, you must have a good idea of God's law and a healthy conception of your own duty. An evil conscience is produced by a man who has an inadequate idea of what is right and wrong, or who does not consider his duty as reaching his heart. A cultivated conscience is a result of a strong idea of God's law.

A good conscience is the result of moral decisions made out of love and faith. It requires faith in Scripture, Tradition, and the Magisterium, and does not involve actual sin. Some decisions may be made in an unworthy manner. Such a person is known as a "sinner."

Having a good conscience

Having a good conscience means not sinning. Even the most moral people are subject to being slandered and picked on. The Bible warns us not to let our conscience become weak by the things that others do. We should have a good conscience, because our conscience is the mirror of our soul, so to speak. However, having a good conscience is not easy. In fact, many people struggle with it every day.

According to the Bible, the conscience is the spotlight of moral judgment. It is an independent judge that pronounces verdicts based on our own understanding of right and wrong. The Bible mentions God in Romans 1:19-20 and Romans 2:14-15, but we shouldn't let our consciences are influenced by the way others see us. Having a good conscience is a powerful tool to fight against evil and put the world to shame.

Bottomline

One of the most powerful ways to use God's power is by focusing on God's ability to move into battle. The author of the book The Invisible War, Donald Grey Barnhouse, uses the metaphor of a man of war to describe God's ability to move into battle. This powerful language tells us that God has the power to stir us up and be Man of War in our battles. As a result, this powerful book is a must read for all who want to see God's hand in battle.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
