Just some words for someone besides me...

Psalm 33:
4 For the word of the LORD holds true,
and we can trust everything he does.

6 The LORD merely spoke,
and the heavens were created.just
He breathed the word,
and all the stars were born.

9 For when he spoke, the world began!
It appeared at his command.

10 The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations
and thwarts all their schemes.
11 But the LORD's plans stand firm forever;
his intentions can never be shaken.

15 He made their hearts,
so he understands everything they do.

18 But the LORD watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love.

20 We put our hope in the LORD.
He is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22 Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD,
for our hope is in you alone.

Colossians 4:17 Be sure to carry out the work the Lord gave you.

I've quotes the footnote from my Life Application Bible before - it bears repeating, for me & maybe others.

"Paul encouraged Archippus to make sure that he carried out the work he had received in the Lord.

"There are many ways for us to leave our work unfinished.
We can easily get sidetracked morally,
we can become exhausted & stop,
we can get mad & quit,
or we can let slide & leave it up to others.

"We should see to it that we finish God's assignments, completing the work we have received."
