When God restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
Psalms 53: 6
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
A clean heart create for me, God; renew in me a steadfast spirit. Do not drive me from your presence, nor take from me your holy spirit. Restore my joy in your salvation; sustain in me a willing spirit. I will teach the wicked your ways, that sinners may return to you.
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.
God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress. Thus we do not fear, though earth be shaken and mountains quake to the depths of the sea, Though its waters rage and foam and mountains totter at its surging. The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah .
...let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
Through you we batter our foes; through your name, trample our adversaries. Not in my bow do I trust, nor does my sword bring me victory.
For we are the aroma of Christ for God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.
But the one who gives us security with you in Christ and who anointed us is God; he has also put his seal upon us and given the Spirit in our hearts as a first installment.
Be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong. Your every act should be done with love.
...be firm, steadfast, always fully devoted to the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it.
"I will instruct you and show you the way you should walk, give you counsel and watch over you."
