Romans 12:12 English Standard Version (ESV)

12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

Triumph in hope, be patient in the hard trials life throws at you, pray fervently. God is hope, he will lead us through the storms of troubles and stay always in prayer asking for the things you need and situations going on. God will bring you through the storms.

Ephesians 4:11-13 The Message (MSG)

7-13 But that doesn’t mean you should all look and speak and act the same. Out of the generosity of Christ, each of us is given his own gift. The text for this is,

He climbed the high mountain,

He captured the enemy and seized the booty,

He handed it all out in gifts to the people.

Is it not true that the One who climbed up also climbed down, down to the valley of earth? And the One who climbed down is the One who climbed back up, up to highest heaven. He handed out gifts above and below, filled heaven with his gifts, filled earth with his gifts. He handed out gifts of apostle, prophet, evangelist, and pastor-teacher to train Christ’s followers in skilled servant work, working within Christ’s body, the church, until we’re all moving rhythmically and easily with each other, efficient and graceful in response to God’s Son, fully mature adults, fully developed within and without, fully alive like Christ.

Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.

These things God gifted to the church as the responsibility to bring up the growth of the church and equip God’s people to do the work of Christ.

Revelation 20:1-3 New Living Translation (NLT)

The Thousand Years

20 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the bottomless pit and a heavy chain in his hand. 2 He seized the dragon—that old serpent, who is the devil, Satan—and bound him in chains for a thousand years. 3 The angel threw him into the bottomless pit, which he then shut and locked so Satan could not deceive the nations anymore until the thousand years were finished. Afterward he must be released for a little while.

Satans punishment- The Thousand years

An Angel was sent down from heaven to the punishment of Satan, he locked Satan up in chains and put him in the bottomless pit. There he would be held for 1,000 years unable to trick the nations anymore. However when 1,000 is up he must be released again for a little while.

For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT

God doesn’t want us to fear for he is living and present in our midst. He is a strong warrior a mighty savior, he will take great joy and pride in you with righteousness and gladness. He is here to save. He will take any fears from you giving you peace he will rejoice in heart felt joyous song. He will ease you from your fear and suffering bringing you to him. You are saved in the father, he’s happy to have you.

Mark 5:36 English Standard Version (ESV)

36 But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.”

Jesus tells us on several occasions Do not fear he wants us to be at peace and not fear him and his words. He wants us to live a simple life and smooth walk in our journey. He does not want us to be afraid in fear but to believe in our faith. Standing strong in our knowledge and faith to succeed and proceed in life.

Psalm 130:5 New Living Translation (NLT)

5 

I am counting on the Lord;

    yes, I am counting on him.

    I have put my hope in his word.

I pray to God—my life a prayer—

    and wait for what he’ll say and do.

My life’s on the line before God, my Lord,

    waiting and watching till morning,

    waiting and watching till morning.

I give my trust and all over to God and I lean on him, waiting on what he commands of me I have put all my trust,faith and everything of every waking hour of all I have to hope he is true

Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.
Proverbs 31:30 NLT

[ Hymn to a Good Wife ] A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds. Her husband trusts her without reserve, and never has reason to regret it. Never spiteful, she treats him generously all her life long. She shops around for the best yarns and cottons, and enjoys knitting and sewing. She’s like a trading ship that sails to faraway places and brings back exotic surprises. She’s up before dawn, preparing breakfast for her family and organizing her day. She looks over a field and buys it, then, with money she’s put aside, plants a garden. First thing in the morning, she dresses for work, rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started. She senses the worth of her work, is in no hurry to call it quits for the day. She’s skilled in the crafts of home and hearth, diligent in homemaking. She’s quick to assist anyone in need, reaches out to help the poor. She doesn’t worry about her family when it snows; their winter clothes are all mended and ready to wear. She makes her own clothing, and dresses in colorful linens and silks. Her husband is greatly respected when he deliberates with the city fathers. She designs gowns and sells them, brings the sweaters she knits to the dress shops. Her clothes are well-made and elegant, and she always faces tomorrow with a smile. When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say, and she always says it kindly. She keeps an eye on everyone in her household, and keeps them all busy and productive. Her children respect and bless her; her husband joins in with words of praise: “Many women have done wonderful things, but you’ve outclassed them all!” Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God. Give her everything she deserves! Festoon her life with praises!
Proverbs 31:30 MSG

Charm is deceptive
… If someone tells you that “appearances can be deceptive,” they mean you should look closely at your surroundings because the truth might not be obvious. You might see a connection between the verb to deceive and the adjective deceptive, so you are on to something.
Beauty does not last and shortly fades; though the women who is to be honored and praised is the women who lives within fear of God she deserves everything and is most faithful in life.

Something that’s deceptive is not what it seems. A deceptive person will lead you to believe something other than the truth. Of course, I would never be deceptive when explaining the word deceptive. If someone tells you that “appearances can be deceptive,” they mean you should look closely at your surroundings because the truth might not be obvious. You might see a connection between the verb to deceive and the adjective deceptive, so you are on to something. If you deceive someone, you are being deceptive. Is it ok to be deceptive when you’re planning a surprise party?

1 Peter 5:7 The Message (MSG)
6-7 So be content with who you are, and don’t put on airs. God’s strong hand is on you; he’ll promote you at the right time. Live carefree before God; he is most careful with you.

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

For God wants nothing but good for us. He wants to see us excel not be hindered. In 1 Peter 5:7 peter says Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. God doesn’t want you to have stress and worry about things it is not of God or godly actions. He wants you to live a godly life not ungodly and of Satan living in fear and worries. He wants us to surrender it all to him for him to take care of and release you of the stress.

Isaiah 41:13 The Message (MSG)
11-13 
“Count on it: Everyone who had it in for you
    will end up out in the cold—
    real losers.
Those who worked against you
    will end up empty-handed—
    nothing to show for their lives.
When you go out looking for your old adversaries
    you won’t find them—
Not a trace of your old enemies,
    not even a memory.
That’s right.

Because I, your God,
have a firm grip on you and I’m not letting go.
I’m telling you, ‘Don’t panic.
I’m right here to help you.’

When we are in dispute and worry we are told to cast all of our worries on Christ because he cares for you and will not leave you or forsake you. He will not abandon you or disown you. He says he will always be with us.
