So acknowledge today and take to heart that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.

For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another.

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him...Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

O LORD, you have searched me and known me.

I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.

“Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.”

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

“The LORD is my portion” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
