Grounded in Truth
Psalm 25:4-10
If we'll let the truths of Scripture fill our minds, guard our emotions, and influence our conduct, God will richly reward us. I'm talking about spiritual blessings here (though He at times chooses to bless materially as well). By reading and meditating on His Word, you'll learn to understand His ways. This isn't something we can figure out on our own, because His ways are unlike ours—they are higher, bigger, and eternal.
Also, your relationship with the Lord will grow increasingly more intimate because He chooses to reveal Himself to those who seek Him and obey His instructions. When you see that God always keeps His promises, your confidence in His faithfulness will soar. No matter what the situation, you'll know you can trust Him. Then He'll transform your worries into joyful anticipation about what He's going to do next in your life. Even if hard times await, you'll be convinced that the Lord will work them out for good.
A life grounded in truth is powerful. Those who live by the Word develop spiritual discernment, which guides their choices and guards against deception. Because they demonstrate wisdom and godliness, the Lord enables them to impact others greatly. Since He knows they can be trusted, He also gives them greater responsibilities and opportunities for service in His kingdom.
With all this available to us, wouldn't it be wise to invest our time and energy in building the truth of God's Word into our lives? The other activities which clamor for our attention seem so important or pleasurable, but none of them can offer us the spiritual riches of a life grounded in truth.

Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you
We’re living trying times. With everything that is happening around the world with the covid19 pandemic among other things it’s easy to feel discouraged and anxious. But know that God is with you, He will help you get through these difficult times.
Here I have several bible verses piled together to look like a single giant bible verse so you can see what God promises us:
Here is what I am commanding you to do. Be strong and brave. Do not be afraid. Do not lose hope. I am the Lord your God. I will be with you everywhere you go.
When you pass through the waters,

A Life Without Lack
Psalm 23:4
Psalm 23 is a favorite for many. What this psalm teaches us is what a life without lack looks like, which is something we all desperately long for in a time when we feel like we have great lack.
Many of us lack resources we once had, the freedom to go out and about as we once did, the relative safety we once perceived, the relational connections we once enjoyed, and the calm we experienced before COVID-19.
The Psalmist, Da
