Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
1) I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? 2) My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3) He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber; 4) indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5) The LORD watches over you—the LORD is your shade at your right hand; 6) the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7) The LORD will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; 8) The LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
Micah 6:8
8) He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Colossians 3:23-24
23) Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24)since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Romans 8:26-39
26)In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27)And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
28)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. 29)For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30)And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31)What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32)He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33)Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34)Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35)Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36)As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." 37)No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38)For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39)neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
