ARE WE THANKFUL
FOR THE PEOPLE
GOD HAS PUT IN OUR
LIVES?
ROMANS 12:9-18
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what
9 

is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor

one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in
zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the
Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in
prayer. 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in
need. Practice hospitality.
14 
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not
curse. 
15 
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those
who mourn. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do
not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of
low position. Do not be conceited.
17 
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do
what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible,
as far as it depends on you, live at peace with
everyone.

2. HEALTH (PSALMS 139:1-16)
You have searched me, LORD,
    and you know me.
2 
You know when I sit and when I rise;
    you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 
You discern my going out and my lying down;
    you are familiar with all my ways.
4 
Before a word is on my tongue
    you, LORD, know it completely.
5 
You hem me in behind and before,
    and you lay your hand upon me.
6 
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
    too lofty for me to attain.
7 
Where can I go from your Spirit?
    Where can I flee from your presence?
8 
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
    if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
HEALTH (PSALMS 139:1-16)
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
    if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 
even there your hand will guide me,
    your right hand will hold me fast.
11 
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
    and the light become night around me,”
12 
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
    the night will shine like the day,
    for darkness is as light to you.
13 
For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
15 
My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
HEALTH

BODY.
1 CORINTHIANS 6:19-20
Do you not know that your bodies are

bodies.
