And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways!

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

The Lord appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.

For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.

But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.”

I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
