Matthew 7:14  Small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. 

Colossians 3:24  Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.

Psalm 119:10-11  I have tried hard to find You— don’t let me wander from Your commands. 11 I have hidden Your word in my heart, that I might not sin against You.

Colossians 1:22-23  [God] has reconciled you to Himself through the death of Christ in His physical body. As a result, He has brought you into His own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before Him without a single fault. 23 But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. 

Ephesians 5:1  Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are His dear children.

Isaiah 57:15  The high and lofty One who lives in eternity, the Holy One, says this: “I live in the high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble. I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts.” 

As God gives you rest from your spiritual enemies and you walk out the victory of God in the land of your soul, conquering and controlling your self and your nature through His Spirit, may your heart become a temple for the Name of the Lord your God. 1 Kings 5

May you be content in the events and circumstances that you find yourself in, knowing that God is shaping and dressing you, strengthening your faith and aligning your will, renewing your thoughts and cleansing your heart, so that you may be able to take your place in His temple, fitly assembled into His heavenly mosaic, demonstrating His wisdom and illustrating His grace. 1 Kings 6

May you be aware of the changes taking place as the time draws near for God to fulfill His promise, and may you not be surprised by the turmoil that accompanies His changes, but be prepared. Acts 7

   My child, make certain to lay a strong, firm, solid foundation out of sight of others. Your relationship with Me is of paramount importance. I am the Cornerstone that is tried and found true; you must build in alignment with Me to be squared and straight, to be found in My righteousness, to be aligned with My will. Nothing that is built apart from Me will stand. A brick wall that is not square will have no internal strength to withstand the storms, although each individual brick be solid and true. 
   In your private time, My near one, labor persistently in prayer out of sight and study My Word with determination for yourself. Wait before Me patiently, allowing the Spirit to open your eyes to My commands of love to obey them, My regulations of mercy to carry them out, and My decrees of righteousness to follow them, that I may fulfill through you My promises. 
   Turn your eyes and your heart from what it has taken to accomplish the work in your life, and look instead at what I am forming within you. Speak not of the toils and conflicts, losses and deprivations as you set aside the old ways of life. Instead, counting the afflictions as not being worthy of mention in comparison to the glory of the new creation being shaped, speak to the honor of the Father. He is the One Who is gracious to accept you in Me and bestow upon you all spiritual blessings and riches through eternity. This comes as a result of the deep and skillful work of My Spirit within you, as you submit to Him and obey all He commands in My name, following in all that He leads you through, according to My Word.

May you give the Lord the authority to build the house you are laboring on, else all your work will be for nought. Psalm 127

May you trust the Lord to show you the enemies to watch for, otherwise your watching and guarding will be useless. Psalm 127

May you rest in, and rely on, the promises of God to provide what you need as you obey His commands, for your long hours and hard work, without Him, will not supply what you need. Psalm 127
