I will praise you, 

O LORD,

with all my heart;

I will tell of all your wonders.

I will be glad and rejoice in you;

I will sing praise to your name,

O Most High.

Psalm 9:1-2

I will lie down and sleep in peace,

for you alone, 

O LORD,

make me dwell in safety.

In the morning, 

O LORD,

you hear my voice;

in the morning I lay my requests before you

and wait in expectation.

Psalm 4:8, 5:3

But as for me, 

I will always have hope;

I will praise you more and more.

Praise be to the LORD God,

the God of Israel,

who alone does marvelous deeds.

Praise be to his glorious name forever;

may the whole earth be filled with his glory.

Amen and amen. 

Psalm 71:14,72:18-19

All Scripture is inspired by God

and is useful to teach us what is true

and to make us realize

what is wrong in our lives.

It corrects us when we are wrong

and teaches us to do what is right.

God uses it to prepare and equip his people

to do every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

(Arches National Park)

…“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God, the Almighty—

the one who always was, 

who is,

and who is still to come.”

“You are worthy, O Lord our God,

to receive glory and honor and power.

For you created all things,

and they exist because you created what you pleased.”

Revelation 4:8, 11

…and I saw a throne in heaven 

and someone sitting on it.

The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant

as gemstones—

like jasper and carnelian.

And the glow of an emerald circled his throne 

like a rainbow.

From the throne came flashes of lightning

and the rumble of thunder.

In front of the throne was a shiny sea of glass, 

sparkling like crystal.

Revelation 4:2-3, 5-6

(Sorrel River Ranch, Moab, UT)

Look!

I stand at the door and knock. 

If you hear my voice 

and open the door,

I will come in…

Revelation 3:20

Because you have kept My word of perseverance,

I also will keep you from the hour of testing,

that hour which is about to come upon the whole world,

to test those who live on the earth.

I am coming quickly;

hold firmly to what you have,

so that no one will take your crown.

Revelation 3:10-11

…This is the message from the one who is holy and true,

the one who has the key of David.

What he opens, no one can close;

and what he closes, 

no one can open:

I know all the things you do,

and I have opened a door for you that no one can close.

You have little strength,

yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me. 

Revelation 3:7-8

…To everyone who is victorious

I will give some of the manna 

that has been hidden away in heaven.

And I will give to each one a white stone,

and on the stone will be engraved a new name

that no one understands

except the one who receives it.

Revelation 2:17
