true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is
pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if
anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such
things.
10. 3. To honor God in everything we have:
Our time

before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say,

it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where
your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

that prevails.

you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you,

give you the desires of your heart.
