You have so much to do and so much on your mind that it can be easy to put spending time with God on the back burner. Well, here are 11 Bible verses to ensure that you start your day off with the Lord and are able to keep your eyes on Him as you go through it. 1. Psalm 118:24, "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." 2. Psalm 31:7-8, "I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have known the distress of my soul, and you have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; you have set my feet in a broad place." 3. 3 John 1:2, "Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul." 4. Romans 15:13, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." 5. Psalm 28:7, "The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts." 6. Psalm 103:1, "Bless the Lord , O my soul, all that is within me, bless his holy name." 7. Ephesians 6:11, "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil." 8. Lamentations 3:22-23, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." 9. Matthew 5:16, "In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." 10. Psalm 42:5, "You feel hopeless because there's so much despair in the world. Remember that you are in the world and not of the world. The Holy Spirit within you can stir up hope if you will believe in the sovereignty of God in spite of the wickedness of the world." 11. Psalm 143:8, "Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life."

Subscribe to our NewsletterOver the years, there have been multiple signs that SeaWorld is abusing their Orca whales and
depriving them of a satisfactory life. The corporation is known for kidnapping their Orca whales from their families and natural habitats. SeaWorld is supposed to be a rehabilitation center where they take in strictly injured animals and help them heal, however this is not what is happening with these Orcas. They are being taken against their wills from their families and forced to live in tanks unfit for their sizes, all for a larger profit. On average, an orca can swim 140 miles per day. For
an Orca in captivity to swim that distance, it would have to take over 4,280 laps in their tanks. Despite their popular name "killer whales," there has only proven to be one attack on a human from a wild Orca whale, and yet trainers of captive whales continue to die or become injured in some way. This is due to the extreme stress and anxiety Orcas acquire while being forced to perform and socialize by means that are not natural to them. The SeaWorld amusement industry is dangerous for
both the Orca and the trainers for this reason. Living in captivity is simply unhealthy for Orca whales. Their dorsal fins collapse due to not having enough space to swim around. They break their teeth from chewing on their tanks' iron bars and concrete because of how stressed and anxious they are. This may result in painful dental drilling with no anesthesia provided. Orcas are also highly social animals in the wild that travel in stable groups, usually with fifteen Orcas total. Typically, the Orcas stay with their mothers. When in Captivity, they are forced away from them and must live with other whales that speak totally different languages than them and are not familiar with at all. When contemplating this situation, as a business student, the whole concept appears hypocritical. Businesses, as well as any other person, makes decisions on how to spend their money based on cost versus benefit analysis. SeaWorld claims majority of their profit goes towards sea life conservation, yet they are hurting and putting those same sea creatures in the danger their money is supposed to be preventing. They spend money capturing, housing, feeding, and training the Orca whales, but with what real benefit? They cannot truly be helping the sea life by torturing a portion of it in the process. I understand that SeaWorld's amusement park is enticing, children after all have no idea what happens below the surface of their waters. It is important, however, that the adults who do recognize the discrepancy happening and seek change. I am not recommending shutting down the business, due to its potential. I am strongly against the continuation of the Orca shows, for the safety of both the whales and its trainers. Any animals that are not at their "rehabilitation center" for the right reasons should be released. If there is no injury, there is no valid reason to keep the animals in cages or tanks, they deserve freedom just as much as any other human or species does. If SeaWorld truly wants to conserve the oceans, then they will understand taking away the sea life that inhabits them for personal profit is not a solution, it is simply adding to the environmental crisis. SeaWorld claims their mission is to rehabilitate and conserve sea life. What I have stated are ways no ensure those policies, not through the actions they are currently practicing. SeaWorld has proven to mistreat their Orca whales for the sake of profit. They are kidnapped from their homes and families, deprived of proper living environments, poorly taken care of, and end up living less than half their life span as a result of this. Trainers are in just as much danger, having to deal with these overly stressed and anxious animals. Besides from this, they are keeping animals for longer than needed for rehabilitation, all for show. Animals are meant to live freely, not in a cage or tank. What does the Bible say about everyday life?"Be very careful, then, how you live — not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." The Good News: Take advantage of new opportunities to strengthen your faith and create meaning in your everyday life. "As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart."
What the Bible says about new beginnings?A new beginning awaits anyone who is willing and wanting to make Jesus Christ the Lord of their life. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
What is the meaning of Lamentations 3 22?It means complete, be concluded, be gone, be finished, be accomplished, or come to an end. This word carries with it a finality. But in the meaning of Lamentations 3:22-23, there's a never in front of it. In other words, God's mercy toward you will never finish, be concluded, or come to and end. It will never fail.
What the Bible says about a new dawn?“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert,' Isa 43:19. MESSAGE A new dawn signifies an end to an era and the beginning of a new era.
