Mother’s Day | The Power of Bad | Arlene Pellicane

It takes good comments to balance out bad one.

I am a recipient of God’s grace (2 Corinthians 12:9)

God will give me wisdom (James 1:5)

I am God’s masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10)

God keeps my mind in perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3)

The plans of the Lord stand firm forever (Psalm 33:11)

Isaiah 33:22 (NKJV)

“For the Lord is our Judge, The Lord is our Lawgiver, The Lord is our King; He will save us.”

When Bad is

Psalm 119:130 (NKJV)

“The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”

Isaiah 47:10 (NIV)

You have trusted in your wickedness and have said, ‘No one sees me.’

Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you when you say to yourself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me.’

Isaiah 47:10 (Message)

You thought you knew so much, had everything figured out. What delusion! Smugly telling yourself, ‘I’m Number One. There’s nobody but me.’
