- Before the mountains were born,
before you gave birth to the earth and the world,
from beginning to end, you are God. - And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
- The name of the Lord is a strong fortress;
the godly run to him and are safe. - And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us.
- Yes, God will bless us,
and people all over the world will fear him. - And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.
- For who is God except the Lord?
Who but our God is a solid rock? - You must faithfully keep all my commands by putting them into practice, for I am the Lord.
- Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
- Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry,
but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing. - This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.
- Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.”
- A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
- But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love. - And every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. - As the deer longs for streams of water,
so I long for you, O God. - For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.
- Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us.
- But Lord, you remain the same forever!
Your throne continues from generation to generation. - Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.
- God is not a man, so he does not lie.
He is not human, so he does not change his mind.
Has he ever spoken and failed to act?
Has he ever promised and not carried it through? - “Can anyone hide from me in a secret place?
Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?”
says the Lord. - In this way, I will show my greatness and holiness, and I will make myself known to all the nations of the world. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
- But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.
- So God created human beings in his own image.
In the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
I have been the Lord your God
ever since I brought you out of Egypt.
You must acknowledge no God but me,
for there is no other savior.There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.Next verse!With image
