God has called us to be here in this location on earth in this day and time.
Acts 17: 24-31
24The God Who produced and formed the world and all things in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in handmade shrines.
25Neither is He served by human hands, as though He lacked anything, for it is He Himself Whogives life and breath and all things to all [people].(A)
26And He made from one [common origin, one source, one blood] all nations of men to settle on the face of the earth, having definitely determined [their] allotted periods of time and the fixed boundaries of their habitation (their settlements, lands, and abodes),
27So that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after Him and find Him, although He is not far from each one of us.
28For in Him we live and move and have our being; as even some of your [own] poets have said, For we are also His offspring.
29Since then we are God's offspring, we ought not to suppose that Deity (the Godhead) is like gold or silver or stone, [of the nature of] a representation by human art and imagination, or anything constructed or invented.
30Such [former] ages of ignorance God, it is true, ignored and allowed to pass unnoticed; but now He charges all people everywhere to repent ([d]to change their minds for the better and heartily to amend their ways, with abhorrence of their past sins),
31Because He has fixed a day when He will judge the world righteously (justly) by a Man Whom He has destined and appointed for that task, and He has made this credible and given conviction and assurance and evidence to everyone by raising Him from the dead.(B)

Psalm 21
Psalm 21 (The Message)
You gave him exactly what he wanted;
you didn't hold back.
You filled his arms with gifts;
you gave him a right royal welcome.
He wanted a good life; you gave it to him,
and then made it a long life as a bonus.
You lifted him high and bright as a cumulus cloud,
then dressed him in rainbow colors.
You pile blessings on him;
you make him glad when you smile.
Is it any wonder the king loves God?
that he's sticking with the Best?
8-12 With a fistful of enemies in one hand
and a fistful of haters in the other,
You radiate with such brilliance
that they cringe as before a furnace.
Now the furnace swallows them whole,
the fire eats them alive!
You purge the earth of their progeny,
you wipe the slate clean.
All their evil schemes, the plots they cook up,
have fizzled—every one.
You sent them packing;
they couldn't face you.
13 Show your strength, God, so no one can miss it.
We are out singing the good news!
Psalm 21
A David Psalm
1-7Your strength, God, is the king's strength. Helped, he's hollering Hosannas.You gave him exactly what he wanted;
you didn't hold back.
You filled his arms with gifts;
you gave him a right royal welcome.
He wanted a good life; you gave it to him,
and then made it a long life as a bonus.
You lifted him high and bright as a cumulus cloud,
then dressed him in rainbow colors.
You pile blessings on him;
you make him glad when you smile.

Proverb 19
Proverbs 19 (Amplified Bible)
Proverbs 19
1BETTER IS a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is perverse in his speech and is a [self-confident] fool. 2Desire without knowledge is not good, and to be overhasty is to sin and miss the mark.3The foolishness of man subverts his way [ruins his affairs]; then his heart is resentful and frets against the Lord.
4Wealth makes many friends, but the poor man is avoided by his neighbor.(A)
5A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he who breathes out lies shall not escape.(B)
6Many will entreat the favor of a liberal man, and every man is a friend to him who gives gifts.
7All the brothers of a poor man detest him--how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but they are gone.
8He who gains Wisdom loves his own life; he who keeps understanding shall prosper and find good.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he who breathes forth lies shall perish.
10Luxury is not fitting for a [self-confident] fool--much less for a slave to rule over princes.
11Good sense makes a man restrain his anger, and it is his glory to overlook a transgression or an offense.
12The king's wrath is as terrifying as the roaring of a lion, but his favor is as [refreshing as] dew upon the grass.(C)
13A self-confident and foolish son is the [multiplied] calamity of his father, and the contentions of a wife are like a continual dripping [of water through a chink in the roof].
14House and riches are the inheritance from fathers, but a wise, understanding, and prudent wife is from the Lord.(D)
15Slothfulness casts one into a deep sleep, and the idle person shall suffer hunger.
16He who keeps the commandment [of the Lord] keeps his own life, but he who despises His ways shall die.(E)
17He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and that which he has given He will repay to him.(F)
18Discipline your son while there is hope, but do not [indulge your angry resentments by undue chastisements and] set yourself to his ruin.
19A man of great wrath shall suffer the penalty; for if you deliver him [from the consequences], he will [feel free to] cause you to do it again.
20Hear counsel, receive instruction, and accept correction, that you may be wise in the time to come.
21Many plans are in a man's mind, but it is the Lord's purpose for him that will stand.(G)
22That which is desired in a man is loyalty and kindness [and his glory and delight are his giving], but a poor man is better than a liar.
23The reverent, worshipful fear of the Lord leads to life, and he who has it rests satisfied; he cannot be visited with [actual] evil.(H)
24The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; reprove a man of understanding, and he will increase in knowledge.
26He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
27Cease, my son, to hear instruction only to ignore it and stray from the words of knowledge.
28A worthless witness scoffs at justice, and the mouth of the wicked swallows iniquity.
29Judgments are prepared for scoffers, and stripes for the backs of [self-confident] fools.(
