I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart;

I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.

I will be filled with joy because of you.

I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.

Psalm 9:1-2

…you and your children and grandchildren

must fear the LORD your God as long as you live…

Listen closely…be careful to obey…

…The LORD is our God,

the LORD alone.

…you must love the LORD your God with all your heart,

all your soul,

and all your strength.

And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly

to these commands that I am giving you today.

Repeat them again and again to your children.

Talk about them when you are at home

and when you are on the road,

when you are going to bed

and when you are getting up.

Deuteronomy 6:2-3; 4-7

“‘In the last days, God says,

I will pour out my Spirit on all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy,

your young men will see visions,

your old men will dream dreams.

Even on my servants, both men and women,

I will pour out my spirit in those days,

and they will prophesy.

I will show wonders in the heaven above

and signs on the earth below,

blood and fire and billows of smoke.

The sun will be turned to darkness

and the moon to blood

before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

And everyone who calls

on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

Acts 2:17-21

…”You come against me with sword and spear and javelin,

but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty,

the God of the armies of Israel…

Today…

All those gathered here will know

that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves;

for the battle is the LORD’s…

1 Samuel 17:45-47

For this is how God loved the world:

He gave his one and only Son,

so that everyone who believes in him

will not perish but have eternal life.

God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world,

but to save the world through him.

John 3:16-17

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—

the moon and the stars you set in place—

what are mere mortals that you should think about them,

human beings that you should care for them?

Psalm 8:3-4

O LORD, hear me as I pray;

pay attention to my groaning.

Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God,

for I pray to no one but you.

Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD.

Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.

Psalm 5:1-3

But you, O LORD, are a shield around me;

you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.

I cried out to the LORD,

and he answered me from his holy mountain.

I lay down and slept,

yet I woke up in safety,

for the LORD was watching over me.

Psalm 3:3-5

“Watch out! 

Don’t do your good deeds publicly,

to be admired by others,

for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.

…when you give to someone need,

don’t let your left hand knows what your right hand is doing.

Give your gifts in private,

and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.

Matthew 6:1, 3-4

Who but God goes up to heaven and comes back down?

Who holds the wind in his fists?

Who wraps up the oceans in his cloak?

Who has created the whole wide world?

What is his name—and his son’s name?

Tell me if you know!

Job 38:34, 37; Proverbs 30:4
