Psalm 33:4-11 Because the Lord's word is right, his every act is done in good faith. He loves righteousness and justice; The Lord's faithful love fills the whole earth. The skies were made by the Lord's word, all their starry multitude by the breath of his mouth.
He gathered the ocean waters into a heap; he put the deep seas into storerooms. All the earth honors the Lord; all the earth's inhabitants stand in awe of him. Because when he spoke, it happened! When he commanded, there it was! The Lord overrules what the nations plan; he frustrates what the peoples intend to do. But the Lord's plan stands forever; what he intends to do lasts from one generation to the next.
Revelation 14:12-13 This calls for the endurance of the saints, who keep God's commandments and keep faith with Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Favored are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “so they can rest from their labors, because their deeds follow them.”
Joel 2:12-14 Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your hearts, with fasting, with weeping, and with sorrow; tear your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, very patient, full of faithful love, and ready to forgive. Who knows whether he will have a change of heart and leave a blessing behind him, a grain offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God?
Nahum 1:15 Look on the mountains: the feet of a messenger who announces peace! Celebrate your festivals, Judah! Fulfill your solemn promises! The worthless one will never again invade you; he has been completely cut off.
Luke 12:54-59 Jesus also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud forming in the west, you immediately say, 'lt's going to rain.' And indeed it does. And when a south wind blows, 'A heat wave is coming.' And it does. Hypocrites! You know how to interpret conditions on earth and in the sky. How is it that you don't know how to interpret the present time? And why don't you judge for yourselves what is right? As you are going to court with your accuser, make your best effort to reach a settlement along the way. Otherwise, your accuser may bring you before the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. I tell you, you won't get out of there until you have paid the very last cent."
