DAILY VITAMINS TO GROW YOUR MIND AND SPIRIT AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS WEEK 1
God says: “Feed the hungry and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness and the darkness around you will be as bright as day. The Lord will guide you continually, watering your life when you are dry and keeping your healthy too. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. (Isaiah 58:10)
God says: “And we can be confident that He will listen to us whenever we ask Him for anything in line with His will. And if we know He is listening when we make our requests, we can be sure that He will give us what we ask for. (1 John 5:14-15)
God says: “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His signt, obeying His commans and laws, then I will not make you suffer the diseases I sent on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord who heals you.” (Exodus 15:26)
God says: “Send out Your light and Your truth; let them guide me. Let them elad me to Your holy mountain, to the place where You live. There I will go to the altar of God, to God—the source of all my joy. I will praise You with my harp, O God, my God!” (Psalm 43: 3-4)
God says: Let your roots grow down in Him and draw up nourishment from Him, so you will grow in faith, strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught. Let your lives overflow with thanksgiving for all He has done.” (Colossians 2:7)
