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.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
