...the path of life...

You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.

~ Psalm 16:11

Against all hope...

Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be." Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. This is why "it was credited to him as righteousness." The words "it was credited to him" were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.

~ Romans 4:18-25

No Eye Hath Seen...

However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him.

~ 1 Corinthians 2:9

Everything Beautiful

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

~ Ecclesiastes 3:11

In Him we have...

“In Him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace”

~ Ephesians 1:7

Seated with Him

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

~ Ephesians 2:6

Shining as Stars

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

~ Philippians 2:12-13

He Answers

When I called, you answered me; You made me bold and stouthearted.

He Will Finish

...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Believe and Suffer

“For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for Him,”

~ Philippians 1:29

In distress...

In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.

~ Psalm 18:6

A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

~ Psalm 63:1-5

Healed

And wherever He went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged Him to let them touch even the edge of His cloak, and all who touched Him were healed.

~ Mark 6:56

Instructions on Worship

I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time. And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.

1 Timothy 2:1-7

Because HE lives...

I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

~ John 14:18-20
