| | Meditation 6/29 - 7/5 God fulfills His Purpose Psalm 57:1-5 NLT
God fulfills His purpose for Me
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy!
I look to you for protection.
I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings
until this violent storm is past.
I cry out to God Most High,
to God who will fulfill his purpose for me.
He will send help from heaven to save me,
rescuing me from those who are out to get me.
My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness.
I am surrounded by fierce lions
who greedily devour human prey--
whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows,
and whose tongues cut like swords.
Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens!
May your glory shine over all the earth.

Growing in Grace
We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing.
2 Thessalonians 1:3 NIV
__________________
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore as many as be perfect be thus minded; and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Philippians 3:14-16 KJV
__________________
Nevertheless the righteous will hold to his way, and he who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.
Job 17:9 NASB
__________________
For though the LORD is high,
he regards the lowly;
but the haughty he knows from afar.
Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
thou dost preserve my life;
thou dost stretch out thy hand
against the wrath of my enemies,
and thy right hand delivers me.
The LORD will fulfil his purpose for me;
thy steadfast love, O LORD,
endures for ever.
Do not forsake the work of thy hands.
Psalm 138:6-8 RSV

| | Meditation 6/29 - 7/5 God fulfills His Purpose Psalm 57:1-5 CEV
God fulfills His purpose for Me
God Most High, have pity on me!
Have mercy.
I run to you
for safety.
In the shadow of your wings,
I seek protection
till danger dies down.
I pray to you, my protector.
You will send help from heaven
and save me,
but you will bring trouble
on my attackers.
You are faithful,
and you can be trusted.
I live among lions,
who gobble down people!
They have spears and arrows
instead of teeth,
and they have sharp swords
instead of tongues.
May you, my God, be honored
above the heavens;
may your glory be seen
everywhere on earth.
Psalm 57:1-5 CEV

| | Meditation 7/6 - 7/12 A New Creation 2 Cor 5:17-21 KJV
We are a New Creation in Him!
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2 Corinthians 5:17-21 KJV
