Happy Friday . . .

Give all your worries to him, because he cares for you.

(1 Peter 5:7 -- ICB)

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
(Galatians 6:7 -- NKJV)

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

(Romans 13:1 -- NKJV)

So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. ⁸ All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. ⁹ I am the door.  If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture."

(John 10:7-9 -- ESV)

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
² Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. ³ Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

(Psalm 100:1-3 -- KJV)

Thomas, one of the twelve apostles, who was called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came. ²⁵ The other disciples told him, “We’ve seen the Lord.”
Thomas told them, “I refuse to believe this unless I see the nail marks in his hands, put my fingers into them, and put my hand into his side.”
²⁶ A week later Jesus’ disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them.  Even though the doors were locked, Jesus stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” ²⁷ Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Take your hand, and put it into my side.  Stop doubting, and believe.”
²⁸ Thomas responded to Jesus, “My Lord and my God!”
²⁹ Jesus said to Thomas, “You believe because you’ve seen me.  Blessed are those who haven’t seen me but believe.”

(John 20:24-29 -- GW)
