- For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
- Know that wisdom is such to your soul;
if you find it, there will be a future,
and your hope will not be cut off. - My times are in your hand;
rescue me from the hand of my enemies
and from my persecutors! - In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him.
- He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
- There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call.
- For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.
- It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice. - For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.
But now, O Lord, you are our Father;
we are the clay, and you are our potter;
we are all the work of your hand. Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?Next verse!With image
