Luke 12:48 From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
May I be faithful with all You have given me — my time, my gifts, my money, my love, my family…everything!

Luke 12:42 The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge…?”
I need to be both faithful AND wise as I steward what God has entrusted to me. 

2 Samuel 3:39 And today, though I am the anointed king, I am weak, and these sons of Zeruiah are too strong for me. May the Lord repay the evildoer according to his evil deeds!” 
Do I remember that the Lord is greater than all men and is capable of destroying all evil and those who do evil? May my God never be limited by my imagination and my own physical and mental weakness.

Luke 12:40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
May I live in expectation of Your return, Lord. 

2 Samuel 1:11-12 Then David and all the men with him took hold of their clothes and tore them. They mourned and wept and fasted till evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the army of the Lord and for the nation of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword. 
2 Samuel 2:1a In the course of time, David inquired of the Lord. “Shall I go up to one of the towns of Judah?” he asked.
“In the course of time…” Mourning takes time, but I must always come back to the Lord after grieving to ask for His direction, so that I can move on to fulfill His purpose.

Luke 12:35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning.”
May I intentionally spend time with the Lord and His Word each day to keep the fire burning in my heart. 

1 Samuel 31:4-5 Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and run me through and abuse me. ”But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it. When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died with him. 
Putting my hope in another person instead of God can lead me to death. Father, may my hope always be in You!

1 Samuel 30:6 David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God. 
When I am greatly distressed, do I find strength in the Lord or do I simply become overwhelmed? Father, give me great faith!

Luke 12:32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.”
Fear causes me to forget God is pleased with me. 

Luke 12:34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
What I spend my thoughts, time, abilities, and money on will reflect that which I truly treasure.
