MY STRENGTH AND TO TAKE ACTION
BECAUSE I KNOW GOD?

against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people
that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. )

GOD AND GOD GIVES WISDOM TO ME GENEROUSLY

that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not;
and it shall be given him. )

COMPASSION AND FAITHFULNESS
AND HAVE HOPE?

which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.)

I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. )

WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS THAT CHRIST REDEEMED
ME FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW THAT
I MIGHT RECEIVE HIS SPIRIT?
(Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law,
being made a curse for us: for it is written,
Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the
Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the
promise of the Spirit through faith.)
15 WHY SHOULD I BE DISCONTENT
WHEN I, LIKE PAUL, CAN LEARN TO BE
CONTENT IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES?
(Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned,
in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.)
