The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.

Then He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”

He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.

His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry;

But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.

From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him;

By me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just;
by me princes govern, and nobles–all who rule on earth.

It is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another.

He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people — for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

That night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.”

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
