…the LORD grants wisdom!
From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.
He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.

But Jesus told him,
“No! The Scriptures say,
‘People do not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
After his baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water,
the heavens were opened
and he saw the Spirit of God
descending like a dove and settling on him.
And a voice from heaven said,
“This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.”

Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
May your gracious Spirit lead me forward
on a firm footing.
Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
May your gracious Spirit lead me forward
on a firm footing.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
They cannot be numbered!
I can’t even count them,
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night—
but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same to you.
