Psalm 8, NIV
1. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
2. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
3. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4. what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?
5. You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
6. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:
7. all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field,
8. the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
9. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! |

Romans 12:1-8, NIV Due - October 22
1. Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.
2. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
3. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.
4. Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,
5. so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
6. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.
7. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;
8. if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully. |

James 1:2-12, NIV
2. Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
3. because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
4. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
5. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
6. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
7. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord;
8. he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.
9. The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position.
10. But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower.
11. For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.
12. Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. |

Proverbs 13:1-8, NIV Due – December 17 1. A wise son heeds his father's instruction, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke. 2.

The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied. 5. The righteous hate what is false, but the wicked bring shame and disgrace. 6. Righteousness guards the man of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner. 7. One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth. 8. A man's riches may ransom his life, but a poor man hears no threat. |

How vast is the sum of them! 18. Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you. |
