In the last days, the mountain of the LORD’s house
will be the highest of all—
the most important place on earth.
It will be raised above the other hills,
and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.

Blessings of Not Overthinking
Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant.
If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.
Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind
or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb,
so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things.
Plant your seed in the morning and keep busy all afternoon,
for you don’t know if profit will come from one activity
or another—or maybe both.
Blessings of Safely Stored Treasures
Don’t store up treasures here on earth,
where moths eat them and rust destroys them,
and where thieves break in and steal.
Store your treasures in heaven,
where moths and rust cannot destroy,
and thieves do not break in and steal.
Wherever your treasure is,
there the desires of your heart will also be.
Blessings of Protection
Blessings Of The One Who Knows
Blessings of Jesus
Who but God goes up to heaven and comes back down?
Who holds the wind in his fists?
Who wraps the oceans in his cloak?
Who has created the whole wide world?
What is his name—and his son’s name?
Tell me if you know!
Blessings of Private Time with Our Father
…When you pray,
go away by yourself,
shut the door behind you,
and pray to your Father in private.
Then your Father,
who sees everything,
will reward you.
Blessings of Trust
Blessings of Giving Privately
…Don’t do your good deeds publicly,
to be admired by others,
for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.
…when you give to someone in need,
don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
Give your gifts in private,
and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.

Blessings of Good Sense
A house is built by wisdom
and becomes strong through good sense.
Through knowledge its rooms are filled
with all sorts of precious riches and valuables.
The wise are mightier than the strong,
and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger.
