The Lord is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed. (1 Sam. 2:3)
God understandeth the way thereof, and He knoweth the place thereof. For He looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven. (Job 28:23‑24)
Is anything too hard for the Lord? (Gen. 18:14)
The things that are to us too hard,
   The foes that are too strong,
Are just the very ones that may
   Awake a triumph song.
O God of the impossible,
   When we no hope can see,
Grant us the faith that still believes
   All possible to Thee!

Study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you. (1 Thess. 4:11)
Look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. (Acts 6:3)
She besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us. (Acts 16:15)
Are you busy in the corner
   God entrusted to your care?
One small portion of God’s vineyard
   Is appointed as your share.
Oh, God wants your little corner
   To reflect His loving care;
And He wants its fruit to ripen
   For the harvest over there.

Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. The centurion answered … but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. (Matt. 8:6‑8,13)
One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. (Luke 17:15‑16)
Just as I am — and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot;
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot:
   O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am — Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe:
   O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him. (Rev. 1:7)
I will pour upon the … inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon Me whom they have pierced. In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem. And the land shall mourn, every family apart. (Zech. 12:10‑12)
Who is this that cometh?
   Still His brow with thorns is scarred,
Wounded hands and wounded feet
   And face with sorrow marred;
Those who saw no beauty there
   Once mocked Him with their scorn;
Now at His appearing
   All tribes of earth shall mourn.

TEACH me, and I will hold my tongue. (Job 6:24)
I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will TEACH you what ye shall do. (Ex. 4:15)
TEACH them the good way wherein they should walk. (1 Kings 8:36)
Behold, God exalteth by His power: who TEACHETH like Him? (Job 36:22)
We do not see our teacher’s face,
   We do not hear His voice,
And yet we know that He is near;
   We feel it, and rejoice.
His loving teaching cannot fail;
   And we shall know at last
Each task that seemed so hard and strange,
   When learning time is past.

These men have set up their idols in their heart. (Ezek. 14:3)
What have I to do anymore with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From Me is thy fruit found. (Hos. 14:8)
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. (1 John 5:21)
Be filled with the Spirit. (Eph. 5:18)
’Tis that look that melted Peter;
   ’Tis that face that Stephen saw;
’Tis that heart that wept with Mary
   Can alone from idols draw.
Draw and win and fill completely,
   Till the cup o’erflow the brim;
What have we to do with idols
   Who have companied with Him?

Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat; this is My body. And He took the cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them: and they all drank of it. And He said unto them, This is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. (Mark 14:22‑24)
Let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. (1 Cor. 11:28)
As our surety we behold Thee,
   Ransoming our souls from death;
As the willing victim view Thee,
   Yielding up to God Thy breath;
In this broken bread we own Thee,
   Bruised for us and put to shame;
And this cup, O Lord, we thank Thee,
   Speaks our pardon through Thy name.

Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again. (Heb. 11:33‑35)
Fear not, nor be dismayed, for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee. (1 Chron. 28:20)
Stand not in fear, your adversaries counting;
   Dare every peril, save to disobey;
You shall march on, all obstacles surmounting,
   For I, the strong, will open up the way.
Wherefore go gladly to the task assigned you,
   Having My promise, needing nothing more
Than just to know, where’er the future find
      you,
   In all your journeying I go before.

It came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. (1 Sam. 18:1)
David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake? (2 Sam. 9:1)
Ye are My friends. (John 15:14)
I thank Thee, dearest Lord, for friends,
When morning wakes, when daytime
      ends —
   And, as the shadows fall,
I know that I will raise my eyes
And see — ah, hope that never dies! —
   The dearest friend of all.

All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: but the word of the Lord endureth forever. (1 Peter 1:24‑25)
Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me. (Psa. 86:15‑16)
Fairest flowers soon decay,
Youth and beauty pass away;
Oh, you have not long to stay:
      Be in time!
While God’s Spirit bids you come,
Sinner, do not longer roam,
Lest you seal your hopeless doom,
      Be in time!

With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the King’s palace. (Psa. 45:15)
Everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. (Isa. 51:11)
The voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. (Isa. 65:19)
And oh, the joy of knowing,
   As the Lord’s redeemed can know —
There shall be no more sickness;
   There shall be no more pain;
There shall be no more parting
   Loved from the loved again;
There shall be no more sorrow,
   For God shall dry all tears;
There shall be no more sinning
   Through the eternal years!

We, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. (Rom. 12:5)
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Eph. 4:4‑6)
It pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell. (Col. 1:19)
Called according to His purpose
   And the riches of His love;
Won to listen by the leading
   Of the gentle heavenly One!
Called to fellowship with Jesus
   By the ever-faithful One;
Called to His eternal glory,
   To the kingdom of His Son.

King Darius signed the writing and the decree. Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and, his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. (Dan. 6:9‑10)
When ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. (1 Peter 2:20)
From every stormy wind that blows,
From every swelling tide of woes,
There is a calm, a sweet retreat;
’Tis found before the mercy-seat.
Ah! whither could we flee for aid
When tempted, desolate, dismayed?
Or how the hosts of hell defeat,
Had suffering saints no mercy-seat?

The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; He will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. (Psa. 132:11)
There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of His roots. (Isa. 11:1)
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David. (Luke 1:32)
Came from Godhead’s fullest glory
   Down to Calvary’s depth of woe;
Now on high, we bow before Thee;
   Streams of praises ceaseless flow!
Sing His blest triumphant rising;
   Sing Him on the Father’s throne;
Sing — till heaven and earth surprising —
   Son of David reigns alone.

Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not Thy peace at my tears. (Psa. 39:12)
Thou tellest my wanderings: put Thou my tears into Thy bottle: are they not in Thy book? (Psa. 56:8)
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. (Psa. 126:5)
God counts the sorrows of His saints;
   Their groans affect His ears;
Thou hast a book for my complaints,
   A bottle for my tears.
When to Thy throne I raise my cry,
   The wicked fear and flee:
So swift is prayer to reach the sky;
   So near art Thou to me.

Who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard His word? who hath marked His word, and heard it? (Jer. 23:18)
Hearken unto Me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep My ways. Blessed is the man that heareth Me, watching daily at My gates, waiting at the posts of My doors. For whoso findeth Me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the Lord. (Prov. 8:32,34‑35)
Proclaimer of that peace to all,
   He tells of full, unmingled grace;
To high and low — who hear the call —
   To old and young of Adam’s race,
         He preaches peace,
   And love divine shines in His face.

The kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him. (Dan. 7:27)
Who is this that cometh?
   King of glory, King of kings;
Now to reign in righteousness
   His ransomed hosts He brings;
Earth’s remotest borders
   And the islands of the sea
Echo back the song they sing
   To Him who set them free.

The host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured. (Jer. 33:22)
Which by His strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power: which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves. (Psa. 65:6‑7)
What manner of man is this! for He commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey Him. (Luke 8:25)
He hollowed the cup for the oceans,
   And stilleth its storms at His will,
While the waves that sweep over its bosom
   Rise but His command to fulfill.
Yet more than these marvels transcendent
   This wonder of wonders I see —
That the God of such infinite greatness
   Should care for the sparrows — and me.

Solomon … arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven. And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying, Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto His people Israel, according to all that He promised: there hath not failed one word of all His good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses His servant. (1 Kings 8:54‑56)
I know against this fortress wall
   The gates of hell shall not prevail;
I know in whom I have believed
   And that His Word shall never fail;
I know that He is able still,
   Is strong to save and strong to keep;
And all that I commit to Him
   Is safe, though I may wake or sleep.

I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even My servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. (Ezek. 34:23)
Awake, O sword, against My shepherd, and against the man that is My fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. (Zech. 13:7)
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep. (John 10:11)
We’ll sing of the Shepherd that died,
   That died for the sake of the flock;
His love to the utmost was tried,
   But firmly endured as a rock.
Our song, then, forever shall be
   Of the Shepherd who gave Himself thus;
No subject’s so glorious as He,
   No theme so affecting to us.

They cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and He bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. (Psa. 107:28‑29)

What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him? (Mark 4:41)
We cannot founder on our course,
   Though He may seem to sleep;
We sail His path across the sea;
   His way is in the deep.
The thunder peal is but His voice,
   The wild winds cry His call;
He speaks and roaring waves are still;
   His word is over all.

Oh boundless grace! what fills with joy
   Unmingled all that enter there,
God’s nature, love without alloy,
   Our hearts are given e’en now to share.
Oh keep us, love divine, near Thee,
   That we our nothingness may know,
And ever to Thy glory be
   Walking in faith while here below.

Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee. (Isa. 49:8)
The angel … lifted up his hand to heaven, and sware by Him that liveth forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer. (Rev. 10:5‑6)
Have you any time for Jesus,
   As in grace He calls again?
Oh, today is time accepted;
   Later you may call in vain.
Room and time now give to Jesus;
   Soon will pass God’s day of grace;
Soon thy heart be cold and silent,
   And the Savior’s pleading cease.

Why should my feet grow weary
   Of this my pilgrim way?
Rough though the path and dreary,
   It ends in perfect day!

I will seek Him whom my soul loveth. (Song of Sol. 3:2)
Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid Him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing. (John 20:13‑14)

   With boldness glad and free;
What matters it that I am poor,
   For I am rich in Thee.

For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of Him: therefore also I have lent him to the Lord; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the Lord. And he worshipped the Lord there. (1 Sam. 1:27‑28)
They shall be Mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels. (Mal. 3:17)

And though she had a gentle part
   And cradled us with psalms,
Gladly she gave us back to Him
   Who placed us in her arms;
A Christian mother’s love contains
   A gospel all its own,
Because her Lord of love has found
   Her heart an ample throne.

Upon this Rock I will build My church. (Matt. 16:18)
We are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. (Eph. 5:30,32)
Quickened with Him with life divine,
   Raised with Him from the dead;
His own and all His own are Thine,
Shall with Him in His glories shine,
   His church’s living head!
We, who were worthy but to die,
Now with Him, “Abba, Father,” cry.

What confidence is this wherein thou trustest? (Isa. 36:4)

In Thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto Thee. (Psa. 143:8)
He holds the planets in His hands,
   And all the universe;
What power can alter His commands,
   Or change His holy course?
And they who trust in Him may rest
   In calm and sweet repose
Upon His promise sure and blest;
   He loves; He cares; He knows.

We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works. (Eph. 2:10)
Put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (Eph. 4:24)
In Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. (Gal. 6:15)
Unselfish mirrors in every scene,
   Love blossoms on every sod,
And back from its vision the heart comes
      to tell
   The wonderful goodness of God.
’Tis a wonderful story, that gospel of love,
   As it shines in the Christ-life divine,
And oh, that its truth might be told again
   In the story of your life and mine!

Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that everyone that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. (Num. 21:8)
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:14,18)
As the serpent raised by Moses
   Healed the fiery serpent’s bite,
Jesus now Himself discloses
   To the wounded sinner’s sight;
Hear His gracious invitation —
   I have life and peace to give;
I have wrought out full salvation:
   Sinner, look to Me and live.
