    Betrayed but Not Buried - October 25, 2026

    Resilient: Recovering an Honest Faith in a Dishonest World Betrayed but Not Buried Bobby Humes Today's Scripture: 1 Samuel 19:8-10 NIV   1 Samuel 19:8-10 NIV 8 Once more war broke out, and David went out and fought the Philistines. He struck them with such force that they fled before him. 9 But an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the lyre, 10 Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape.    Psalm 55:12-14 NIV 12 If an enemy were insulting me, I could endure it; if a foe were rising against me, I could hide. 13 But it is you, a man like myself, my companion, my close friend, 14 with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship at the house of God, as we walked about among the worshipers.   Psalm 41:9 NIV Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me.   John 13:18 NIV “I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture: ‘He who shared my bread has turned  against me.’   John 13:27 NIV As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.    1 Samuel 19:9-10 NIV   1) LIGHT VS. DARK 1 Samuel 19:4-6 NIV Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king do wrong to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly. 5 He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine. The Lord won a great victory for all Israel, and you saw it and were glad. Why then would you do wrong to an innocent man like David by killing him for no reason?” 6 Saul listened to Jonathan and took this oath: “As surely as the Lord lives, David will not be put to death.”   John 3:19-21 NIV 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.   John 1:4-5 NIV 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.   Matthew 10:34–36 NIV 34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn “ ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— 36a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’   John 16:33 NIV “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”   2) ACCEPTANCE John 15:18-20 NIV 18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’  If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.   1 Samuel 19:18 NIV 18 When David had fled and made his escape, he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.   3) GOD'S ROLE IN BETRAYAL 1 Samuel 19:19-21 NIV   Psalm 144:2 NIV   Romans 8:31 NIV   Deuteronomy 32:35   4) OUR ROLE IN BETRAYAL Psalm 27:5-6 NIV   Psalm 59:1-4 NIV   Luke 6:27-28 NIV   1 Samuel 19:24 NIV   Matthew 26:48-50 NIV

    Losing Your Mind Without Losing Your Soul - October 18, 2026

    Resilient: Recovering an Honest Faith in a Dishonest World Losing Your Mind Without Losing Your Soul Jon Fredricks Today's Scripture: 1 Samuel 18:1-16 NIV   1 Samuel 18:1-16 NIV After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself. 2 From that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return home to his family. 3 And Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself. 4 Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, and even his sword, his bow and his belt. 5 Whatever mission Saul sent him on, David was so successful that Saul gave him a high rank in the army. This pleased all the troops, and Saul’s officers as well. 6 When the men were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out from all the towns of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs and with timbrels and lyres. 7 As they danced, they sang: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.” 8 Saul was very angry; this refrain displeased him greatly. “They have credited David with tens of thousands,” he thought, “but me with only thousands. What more can he get but the kingdom?” 9 And from that time on Saul kept a close eye on David. 10 The next day an evil spirit from God came forcefully on Saul. He was prophesying in his house, while David was playing the lyre, as he usually did. Saul had a spear in his hand 11 and he hurled it, saying to himself, “I’ll pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice. 12 Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with David but had departed from Saul. 13 So he sent David away from him and gave him command over a thousand men, and David led the troops in their campaigns. 14 In everything he did he had great success, because the Lord was with him. 15 When Saul saw how successful he was, he was afraid of him. 16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he led them in their campaigns.   John 15:6 NIV 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.   John 10:10 NIV 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.   1) PRACTICE YOUR POWER OF "NO" 1 Samuel 18:18 NIV   Joshua 24:15 NIV 15 “choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”   Matthew 5:37 NIV 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.   2) RUTHLESS HONEST ABOUT YOURSELF! 1 Samuel 18:23 NIV   1 Corinthians 11:31 NASB 31 But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged.   Luke 18:13-14 NIV   3) CLING TO HEART HEALTHY HABITS 1 Samuel 18:10 NIV   Luke 5:16 NIV 16 But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.   Matthew 4:4 NIV 4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”   Psalms 1:1-3 NIV   4) CIRCLE UP 1 Samuel 18:1-3 NIV   Ecclesiastes 4:10 NIV 10 But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.   Proverbs 27:17 NIV 17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.   5) FIND THE FIRST THING Matthew 16:26 NIV 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?   Matthew 6:33 NIV 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.   Acts 17:27 NIV 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.   John 15:1-11 NIV

    Facing Our Giants - October 11, 2026

    Resilient: Recovering an Honest Faith in a Dishonest World Facing Our Giants Jon Fredricks Today's Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:48-50 NIV   1 Samuel 17:48-50 NIV 48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. 49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground. 50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.   1) NAME THE GIANT 1 Samuel 17:4-7 NIV 4 A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span.5 He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels; 6 on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin was slung on his back. 7 His spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. His shield bearer went ahead of him.   Romans 8:28 NIV 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.   1 Corinthians 10:13 GNT Every test that you have experienced is the kind that normally comes to people. But God keeps his promise, and he will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, he will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out.   Exodus 23:29-30 NIV 29 But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals too numerous for you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land.   2 Timothy 2:24 NIV And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.   Romans 14:19 NIV 19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.   2) GO MAN GO 1 Samuel 17:32-37 NIV   John 8:32 NIV 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”   1 Samuel 17:38-40 NIV   1 Samuel 17:48 NIV 48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.   3) KNEEL MAN, KNEEL 1 Samuel 17:45-47 NIV 45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. 47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”   Mark 9:29 NIV 29 He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.”   Romans 9:16 NIV 16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.   Psalm 127:1 NIV Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.   Matthew 11:28 NIV 28 Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest   Matthew 26:39 NIV 39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

    Resilient: Recovering an Honest Faith in a Dishonest World Discarded Jon Fredricks Today's Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:7-13 NIV   Acts 13:22 NIV …God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart”   1 Samuel 16:7-13 NIV   1 Samuel 16:11 MSG 11 Then he asked Jesse, “Is this it? Are there no more sons?” “Well, yes, there’s the runt. But he’s out tending the sheep.” Samuel ordered Jesse, “Go get him. We’re not moving from this spot until he’s here.”   1) INVEST THE INSULT Genesis 50:20 NIV 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.   James 1:2-4 NIV 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.   Romans 8:28 NIV 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.   Psalm 1:1-3 NIV 1 Blessed is the onewho does not walk in step with the wickedor stand in the way that sinners takeor sit in the company of mockers,  2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,and who meditates on his law day and night.  3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,which yields its fruit in seasonand whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.   Psalm 23:1-3 NIV 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.  2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,he leads me beside quiet waters,  3 he refreshes my soul.He guides me along the right paths    for his name’s sake.   2) GIVE NO SPACE FOR THE GRUDGE 1 Peter 5:8 NIV 8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.   Colossians 3:13 NIV 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.   Matthew 6:15 NIV 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.   3) COME IN FROM THE COLD Psalm 68:6 NIV 6 God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.   Ecclesiastes 4:10 NIV 10 If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.   4) WALK UNDER THE ANOINTING 1 Samuel 16:18 NIV 18 One of the servants answered, “I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the lyre. He is a brave man and a warrior. He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the Lord is with him.”   John 14:17 NIV 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.   2 Timothy 1:14 NIV 14 Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.   Acts 1:8 NIV 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”   1 John 4:4 NIV 4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.   Galatians 5:16 NIV 16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

    Scratch: When No One Goes With Me It's Time Jon Fredricks Today's Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:1-7 NIV   1 Samuel 16:1-7 NIV The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king.” 2 But Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears about it, he will kill me.” The Lord said, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’ 3 Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what to do. You are to anoint for me the one I indicate.” 4 Samuel did what the Lord said. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town trembled when they met him. They asked, “Do you come in peace?” 5 Samuel replied, “Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice. 6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the Lord.” 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”   Proverbs 13:12 NIV 12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.   1) THE WISDOM ONE STEP 1 Samuel 16:1 NIV   2) MY "TOO LITTLE" IS ABSURDLY ENOUGH 1 Samuel 16:2-4 NIV   1 John 4:4 NASB 4 You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.   Philippians 4:13 NIV 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.   Romans 8:37-39 NIV 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.   1 Corinthians 2:9 NIV 9 However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him—   3) PERFECT IS MY PROBLEM 1 Samuel 16:6-7 NIV   2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.   2 Corinthians 1:9 NIV …But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.   Romans 9:16 NIV So then, it does not depend on the person who wants it nor the one who runs, but on God who has mercy.   Ecclesiastes 11:4 NLT Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.   4) TAKE A SHOT! James 2:14, 17 NIV 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?   17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.   Ephesians 5:14 NIV This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

    Scratch: When No One Goes With Me To Obey Bobby Humes Today's Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:17-23 NIV   1 Samuel 15:17-23 NIV   GOD'S NATURE Isaiah 46:9-10 NIV I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. 10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’   Colossians 1:15-18 NIV   GOD'S PLAN 1 Samuel 15:18 NIV And he sent you on a mission, saying, ‘Go and completely destroy those wicked people, the Amalekites; wage war against them until you have wiped them out.’   Ephesians 1:11 NIV In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,   Matthew 28:19-20 NIV   GOD'S JUDGMENT 2 Corinthians 5:10 NIV 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.   Romans 9:14-16 NIV 14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” 16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.   FORGETTING WHO GODS SAYS WE ARE 1 Samuel 15:17 NIV Samuel said, “Although you were once small in your own eyes, did you not become the head of the tribes of Israel? The Lord anointed you king over Israel.   1 John 3:1 NIV See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.   WHAT WE WANT 1 Samuel 15:20 NIV But I did obey the Lord,” Saul said. “I went on the mission the Lord assigned me. I completely destroyed the Amalekites and brought back Agag their king.   James 1:14-15 NIV ... but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.   1 John 2:16 NIV 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.   WHAT WE THINK ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK 1 Samuel 15:21 NIV 21 The soldiers took sheep and cattle from the plunder, the best of what was devoted to God, in order to sacrifice them to the Lord your God at Gilgal.   Galatians 1:10 NIV 10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.    Proverbs 29:25 NIV 25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe   THROUGH THE SON OF GOD... John 15:5 NIV I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.   1 John 2:3-6 NIV   IN THE WORD OF GOD... 1 Samuel 15:23 NIV Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as king.   James 1:22-25 NIV 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.   AND BY THE PROMPTING OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD Galatians 5:16-25 NIV   Micah 6:8 NIV He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

    Going Alone - September 13, 2026

    Scratch: When No One Goes With Me Going Alone Jon Fredricks Today's Scripture: 1 Samuel 14:1-14 (NIV) 1. PIN THE PURPOSE 1 Samuel 14:6 (NIV) 6 Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, “Come, let’s go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised men. Perhaps the Lord will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few.” Galatians 2:20 (ESV) I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Romans 14:8 (ESV) For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. Philippians 1:20 (NIV)20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. Proverbs 3:3 (ESV) Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. Habakkuk 2:2 (ESV) And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. 2. SURRENDER VALIDATION John 6:63 (ESV) It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. Matthew 16:23 (NIV) Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.” Mark 3:21 (NIV) 21 When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.” Proverbs 29:25 (The Message) 25 The fear of human opinion disables;trusting in God protects you from that. 1 Samuel 14:1, 3b (NIV) 1 One day Jonathan son of Saul said to his young armor-bearer, “Come, let’s go over to the Philistine outpost on the other side.” But he did not tell his father. 3b…No one was aware that Jonathan had left. 1 Samuel 14:17 (NIV) 17 Then Saul said to the men who were with him, “Muster the forces and see who has left us.” When they did, it was Jonathan and his armor-bearer who were not there. 3. LEAN INTO THE GOOD HELP YOU DO HAVE 1 Samuel 14:7 (NIV) “Do all that you have in mind,” his armor-bearer said. “Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul.” Psalm 68:6 (NIV) God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land. 4. TRUST 1 Samuel 14:11-12 (NIV) 11 So both of them showed themselves to the Philistine outpost. “Look!” said the Philistines. “The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes they were hiding in.” 12 The men of the outpost shouted to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, “Come up to us and we’ll teach you a lesson.” So Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, “Climb up after me; the Lord has given them into the hand of Israel.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

    Scratch: When We Need to Start Over No More Games with God  Jon Fredricks  Today's Scripture: 1 Samuel 13:1-14 ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭86‬:‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.” The Parable of the Lost Son Luke 15:11-32 Matthew 22:37-39 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. An Undivided Heart: 1 ) Slows Down Luke 10:41-42 41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Psalm 46:10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” 2) Takes steps back Philippians 3:8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ Luke 19:8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” 3) Knows Order is important Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before me. Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 4) Waits for God Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
