1 Peter 5:1-5
the apostle Peter instructs church elders to shepherd God’s flock willingly, eagerly, and by example rather than by domineering or greed. He encourages them with the promise of an unfading crown of glory from the Chief Shepherd (Jesus) and calls for humility among all believers.

Colossians 3:23–24 instructs
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ”. It teaches that all work should be done with excellence as service to God, rather than merely for human masters, with a focus on the eternal reward.

Isaiah 40:29-31 promises that
God gives power to the faint and strengthens the weak. Even the young and strong may stumble, but those who wait for the LORD will renew their strength, soaring with eagle-like endurance, running without weariness, and walking without fainting, highlighting reliance on divine strength over human effort.

Isaiah 41:15-16 promises that
God will transform His people from a weak state into a powerful, new, sharp-toothed threshing sledge, enabling them to pulverize mountains and hills (symbolizing obstacles or enemy nations) into chaff. They will winnow these obstacles away, resulting in rejoicing in the Lord.

Romans 7:21-23 describes
an intense internal struggle where the desire to do good is hindered by an abiding presence of evil. Paul highlights a conflict between his inner delight in God’s law and a “law of sin” in his members, which wars against his mind and makes him a captive.

2 Timothy 2:24-3:1 instructs
Christian leaders to avoid quarrels, acting with kindness, patience, and gentle, skillful teaching to correct opponents. The goal is to lead those trapped by the devil toward repentance and truth. This passage emphasizes that servants of the Lord must be gentle, even when facing opposition, in order to foster reconciliation.

Matthew 27:15-26 details
Pontius Pilate’s attempt to release Jesus during Passover, following the custom of freeing a prisoner. Urged by leaders, the crowd chooses to release the criminal Barabbas instead of Jesus. Despite his wife’s warning and his own knowledge of their envy, Pilate washes his hands of the decision, scourges Jesus, and hands him over to be crucified.

Everything (Song by Lauren Daigle ‧ 2018)

Even the sparrow has a place to lay its head
So, why would I let worry steal my breath?
Even the roses You have clothed in brilliant red
Still, I’m the one You love more than this

Even the oceans push and pull at Your command
So You can still my heart with Your hand
You tell the seasons when it’s time for them to turn
So I will trust You even when it hurts

When I can’t see, You lead me
When I can’t hear, You show me
When I can’t stand, You carry me
When I’m lost, You will find me
When I’m weak, You are mighty
You are everything I need

You give me everything
You give me everything I need
