When I am raised to life again,
you will know
that I am in my Father,
and you are in me,
and I am in you.
When I am raised to life again,
you will know
that I am in my Father,
and you are in me,
and I am in you.
…I will ask the Father,
and he will give you another Advocate,
who will never leave you.
He is the Holy Spirit,
who leads into all truth.
The world cannot receive him,
because it isn’t looking for him
and doesn’t recognize him.
But you know him,
because he lives with you now
and later will be in you.
The LORD’s promises are pure,
like silver refined in a furnace,
purified seven times over.
Only fools say in their hearts,
“There is no God.”
…
Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, O LORD,
do not abandon those who search for you.
Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD.
Each morning I bring my requests to you
and wait expectantly.
When Job prayed for his friends,
the LORD restored his fortunes.
In fact,
the LORD gave him twice as much as before!
So the LORD blessed Job in the second half of his life
even more than in the beginning.
Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind:
“Who is this that questions my wisdom
with such ignorant words?
“Where were you
when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell me, if you know so much.
…Stop and consider the wonderful miracles of God!
Do you know how God controls the storm
and causes the lightning to flash from his clouds?
Do you understand how he moves the clouds
with wonderful perfection and skill?
Look, God is greater than we can understand.
His years cannot be counted.
He draws up the water vapor
and then distills it into rain.
The rain pours down from the clouds,
and everyone benefits.
