Refreshing Our Spirits With Scripture

Matthew 7. 7  “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8  For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 9  “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10  Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11  If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12  So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. Romans 8. 22  We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23  Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24  For in this hope we w...

Genesis 10. 5  But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6  The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7  Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” John 10. 16  I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.   Acts 10. 34  Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism 35  but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.  

Genesis 8. 20  Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. 21  The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though [ a ] every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. 22  “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” Matthew 25. 34  “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35  For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36  I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I w...

Genesis 3. 8  Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9  But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”

Genesis 2. 23  The man said, “This is now bone of my bones      and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’      for she was taken out of man.” 24  That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. 25  Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

1.2 Genesis 3. 3  Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” 2  The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3  but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” 4  “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5  “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

1.1.17 The Universe has an amazing design and an awesome designer. Genesis 1. 1  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2  Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3  And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4  God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5  God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. John 1. 1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2  He was with God in the beginning. 3  Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
