- My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline,
and don’t be upset when he corrects you.
For the Lord corrects those he loves,
just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights. - So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
- Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you your heart’s desires. - He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
- And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.
- The Lord will stay with you as long as you stay with him! Whenever you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.
- And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
- May he grant your heart’s desires
and make all your plans succeed. - But he knows where I am going.
And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.
For I have stayed on God’s paths;
I have followed his ways and not turned aside. - We all come to the end of our lives as naked and empty-handed as on the day we were born. We can’t take our riches with us.
- Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust him, and he will help you.
He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. - The Sovereign Lord is my strength!
He makes me as surefooted as a deer,
able to tread upon the heights. - For the Lord delights in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory. - If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?
- So we fasted and earnestly prayed that our God would take care of us, and he heard our prayer.
- He replied, “What is impossible for people is possible with God.”
- You who love the Lord, hate evil!
He protects the lives of his godly people
and rescues them from the power of the wicked. - Moses remained there on the mountain with the Lord forty days and forty nights. In all that time he ate no bread and drank no water. And the Lord wrote the terms of the covenant—the Ten Commandments—on the stone tablets.
- Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever. - He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west. - Every word of God proves true.
He is a shield to all who come to him for protection. - Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is. And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he is pure.
- And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.
- For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.
- But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
and he will stand upon the earth at last.
