But now...

 But now

 apart from the law

 the righteousness of God has been made known,
 to which the Law and the Prophets testify.  

This righteousness 
is given
through faith in
Jesus Christ 

to all who believe.

There is no difference
between Jew and Gentile,   

             for 

             all 
    
            have  

           sinned 

and fall short of the glory of God...

Romans 3:21-23 

Who's Keeping you?

My Help Comes from the Lord

 I lift up my eyes to the hills.
    From where does my help come? 

 My help comes from the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth.

 He will not let your foot be moved;
    he who keeps you will not slumber. 

 Behold, he who keeps Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

 The Lord is your keeper;
    the Lord is your shade on your right hand. 

 The sun shall not strike you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

 The Lord will keep you from all evil;
    he will keep your life. The Lord will keep
    your going out and your coming in
    from this time forth and forevermore.  Psalm 121

 

Do not fret

 Do not fret because of those who are evil
    or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither,
    like green plants they will soon die away.

 Trust in the Lord and do good;
    dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

 Commit your way to the Lord;
    trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
    your vindication like the noonday sun.

 Be still before the Lord
    and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
    when they carry out their wicked schemes.

 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
    do not fret—it leads only to evil.

Psalm 37:1-8
