scripture

 

James 4:13-15

Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."

 

En Espanol, Santiago 4:13-15 

 

quote

 

Oh teach me, Lord, to treasure much

The simple things of life- the touch

Of wind and snow, of rain and sun;

And when the hours of work are done,

The quietness of rest, the fair

And healing sustenance of prayer.

And, Lord of living, help me keep

A shining, singing gladness deep

Within for blessings yet to be

Through all eternity.

Revelation 21:3-4

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

scripture

 

Hebrews 13:5-6

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"

 

En Espanol, Hebreos 13:5-6

Our desires must not only be offered up to God, but they must all terminate in him, desiring nothing more than God, but still more and more of him.

scripture

 

Jeremiah 17:7-8

But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.

 

En Espanol, Jeremías 17:7-8

 

quote

 

There was a ship at sea in time of storm.  The passengers were in great distress.  After a while one of them, against orders, went up on deck and made his way to the pilot.  The seaman was at his post of duty at the wheel and when he saw the man was greatly frightened he gave him a reassuring smile.  Then the passenger turned and went back to the other passengers and said, “I have seen the pilot and he smiled, ’All is well.’”  When our small boat of life is storm-tossed and our hearts are fearful, we may push through the storm to our Pilot who is standing at the wheel, and when we see His face we shall know that all is well.

Robert Louis Stevenson
