    Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;

    Sing praises on the harp to our God,

    Who covers the heavens with clouds,

    Who prepares rain for the earth,

    Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.

    He gives to the beast its food,

    And to the young ravens that cry.

    He does not delight in the strength of the horse;

    He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

    The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear Him,

    In those who hope in His mercy.

    Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem!

    Praise your God, O Zion!

    For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;

    He has blessed your children within you.

    Psalm 147:7–13

    For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Romans 6:23

    But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

    1 Thessalonians 5:8–11

    But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

    Ephesians 2:4–7

    If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

    Colossians 3:1–4

    Because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth.

    Colossians 1:5–6

    Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. . . .

    I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

    Galatians 2:16, 20

    Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.

    1 John 2:24–25

    For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, Abba, Father. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

    For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. . . . For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

    Romans 8:14–18, 24–25

    I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.

    2 Timothy 4:7–8

    Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.

    1 Peter 1:3–9

    God Freely Gives You . . .

    The wisdom you seek for your children

    9781404190122_INT_0008_001

    My son, pay attention to my wisdom;

    Lend your ear to my understanding,

    That you may preserve discretion,

    And your lips may keep knowledge.

    Proverbs 5:1–2

    The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;

    A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.

    His praise endures forever.

    Psalm 111:10

    The days of our lives are seventy years;

    And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,

    Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;

    For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

    Who knows the power of Your anger?

    For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.

    So teach us to number our days,

    That we may gain
