You have searched me,Lord, and you knowme. You know when I sit and when I rise;you perceive my thoughtsfrom afar. You discern my going outand my lying down;you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongueyou,Lord, know it completely. You hem me inbehind and before,and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,too loftyfor me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit?Where can I fleefrom your presence? If I go up to the heavens,you are there;if I make my bedin the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me,your right handwill hold me fast. Psalm 139:1-10

Joshua 1:8-9 Keep this Book of the Lawalways on your lips; meditateon it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid,but gives us power,love and self-discipline. So do not be ashamedof the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner.Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel,by the power of God. He has savedus and calledus to a holy life—not because of anything we have donebut because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealedthrough the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus,who has destroyed deathand has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 2 Timothy 1: 7-10

1 Corinthians 2: 6-10 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”the things God has prepared for those who love him - these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

siah 40: 28-29 Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.

Psalm 8 Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your namein all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. Through the praise of children and infants you have established a strongholdagainst your enemies, to silence the foeand the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars,which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned themwith glory and honor. You made them rulersover the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea,all that swim the paths of the seas. Lord, our Lord,how majestic is your name in all the earth!

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Ephesians 5: 8-10

Ephesians 4: 29-32 Do not let any unwholesome talkcome out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

This is what theLordsays: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good wayis, and walk in it, and you will find restfor your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ I appointed watchmenover you and said,‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But you said, ‘We will not listen.’ Therefore hear, you nations, you who are witnesses, observe what will happen to them. Hear, you earth:I am bringing disasteron this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to my words and have rejected my law.

Proverbs 2:1-5 My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding— indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.

Psalm 37: 5-9 Commit your way to theLord;
trust in himand he will do this: He will make your righteous rewardshine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun. Be stillbefore theLord
and wait patientlyfor him;
do not fretwhen people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from angerand turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil. For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hopein theLordwill inherit the land.

Psalm 19:1-4 The heavensdeclarethe glory of God; the skiesproclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tentfor the sun.

One thingI ask from theLord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of theLord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of theLord and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safein his dwelling; he will hide mein the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.

Matthew 5:3-10 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 18: 3-6 And he said:“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children,you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”

James 4:13-16 Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.

1 Corinthians 13: 4-6 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

Genesis 6: 5-8 TheLordsaw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth,and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. TheLordregrettedthat he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So theLordsaid, “I will wipe from the face of the earththe human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” But Noahfound favor in the eyes of theLord.

Colossians 3: 1-10 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things which are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on the things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ appears, then you will also appear with him in glory. Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these, the wrath of God is coming. In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

But if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15.

Matthew 12:30-32 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this ageor in the age to come.

Psalm 19: 7-9 The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever.
The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous.

John 15: 5-8 I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in meand my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory,that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

Isiah 43: 1-3 …Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God…
