Psalm 145:1-7 I will lift you up high, my God the true king. I will bless your name forever and always. I will bless you every day. I will praise your name forever and always. The Lord is great and so worthy of praise! God's greatness can't be grasped. One generation will praise your works to the next one, proclaiming your mighty acts. They will talk all about the glorious splendor of your majesty; I will contemplate your wondrous works. They will speak of the power of your awesome deeds; I will declare your great accomplishments. They will rave in celebration of your abundant goodness; They will shout joyfully about your righteousness: “The Lord is merciful and compassionate, very patient and full of faithful love. The Lord is good to everyone and everything; God's compassion extends to all his handiwork!”
Deuteronomy 9:15-21 So I went down the mountain while it was blazing with fire. The two covenant tablets were in my two hands. It was then that I saw how you had sinned against the Lord your God: Your made yourselves a calf, and idol made of cast metal! You couldn't wait to turn from the path the Lord commanded you! I grabbed the two tablets and threw them down with my own hands, shattering them while you watched. Then I fell before the Lord as I had done the previous forty days and forty nights. I ate no bread and drank no water, all because of the sin that you had committed by doing such an evil thing in the lord's sight, infuriating him. I was afraid of the massive anger and rage the Lord had for you—he was going to wipe you out! However, the Lord listened to me again in that moment.
Hebrews 3:12-19 Watch out, brothers and sisters, so that none of you have an evil, unfaithful heart that abandons the living God. Instead, encourage each other every day, as long as it's called “today,” so that none of you will become insensitive because of sin's deception. We are partners with Christ, but only if we hold on to the confidence we had in the beginning until the end. When it says, Today, if you hear his voice, don't have stubborn hearts as they did in the rebellion. Who was it who rebelled when they heard his voice? Wasn't it all of those who were brought out of Egypt by Moses? And with whom God was angry for forty years? Wasn't it with the ones who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert? And against whom did he swear that they would never enter his rest, if not against the ones who were disobedient? We see that they couldn't enter because of their lack of faith.
John 1:45-51 Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law and the Prophets: Jesus, Joseph's son, from Nazareth.” Nathaniel responded, “Can anything from Nazareth be good?” Philip said, “Come and see.”Jesus saw Nathaniel coming toward him and said about him, “Here is a genuine Israelite in whom there is no deceit.” Nathaniel asked him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered, “I saw you under the fig tree.” Nathaniel replied, “Rabbi, you are God's Son, Your are the king of Israel.” Jesus answered, “Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these! I assure you that you will see heaven open and God's angels going up to heaven and down to earth on the Human One.”
