[h=3]John 14[/h]New International Version (NIV)

[h=3]Jesus Comforts His Disciples[/h]14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[a]; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come backand take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.

[posthuman]

Psalm 124

A Song of degrees of David.

1 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,

now may Israel say;​

2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,

when men rose up against us:​

3 then they had swallowed us up quick,

when their wrath was kindled against us:​

4 then the waters had overwhelmed us,

the stream had gone over our soul:​

5 then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Blessed be the Lord,

who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.​

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:

the snare is broken, and we are escaped.​

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.
​

 

[posthuman]

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust;
I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

(Psalm 56:3,4)

 

[TaylorTG]

Deuteronomy 28:63


As the Lord takes delight in prospering you, he also takes delight in destroying you.

 

[posthuman]

Give us help from trouble:

for vain is the help of man.​

Through God we shall do valiantly:

for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
​

(Psalm 60:11-12)

 

[posthuman]

lest anyone be deceived, there's some pretext missing:

But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God,
to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day;
that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
(Deuteronomy 28:15)

. . .

and then, there is this:

Deuteronomy 28:63


As the Lord takes delight in prospering you, he also takes delight in destroying you.

and before this too are many promises!

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.
Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
(Deuteronomy 28:1-8)

the Lord is great, and His judgments are righteous!

 

[posthuman]

Because thy lovingkindness is better than life,

my lips shall praise thee.​

Thus will I bless thee while I live:

I will lift up my hands in thy name.​

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;

and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:​

when I remember thee upon my bed,​

and meditate on thee in the night watches.​

Because thou hast been my help,

therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.​

My soul followeth hard after thee:

thy right hand upholdeth me.
​

(Psalm 63:3-8)

 

[posthuman]

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed;
but my kindness shall not depart from thee,
neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed,
saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold,
I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.
And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord;
and great shall be the peace of thy children.

(Isaiah 54:10-13)

 

[Zinzerio]

Deuteronomy 31:6



New International Version (NIV)


6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

 

[Zinzerio]

Psalm 31:24 KJV

24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord

Ephesians 6 .16

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God

 

[Zinzerio]

2 Peter 1:6-16 (Good News Translation)

6 to your knowledge add self-control; to your self-control add endurance; to your endurance add godliness; 7 to your godliness add Christian affection; and to your Christian affection add love. 8 These are the qualities you need, and if you have them in abundance, they will make you active and effective in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But if you do not have them, you are so shortsighted that you cannot see and have forgotten that you have been purified from your past sins. 10 So then, my friends, try even harder to make God's call and his choice of you a permanent experience; if you do so, you will never abandon your faith. 11 In this way you will be given the full right to enter the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

 

[posthuman]

Blessed be the Lord,

because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.​

The Lord is my strength and my shield;

my heart trusted in him, and I am helped:
therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
and with my song will I praise him.
​

(Psalm 28:6-7)

 

[Zinzerio]

[h=3]Luke 6:43-45[/h]New International Version (NIV)

[h=3]A Tree and Its Fruit[/h]43 “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers.45 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

 

[posthuman]

The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me:
thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever:
forsake not the works of thine own hands.

(Psalm 138:8)

 

[posthuman]

I will praise thee;
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvellous are thy works;
and that my soul knoweth right well.

(Psalm 139:14)​

 

[Kerry]

He prepares a table for me in the presence of mine enemies.

 

[Zinzerio]

[h=3]Romans 8:36-38[/h]New International Version (NIV)

36 As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[a]

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, Godbless Amen

 

[posthuman]

If his sons forsake my law
and do not follow my statutes,
if they violate my decrees
and fail to keep my commands,

I will punish their sin with the rod,
their iniquity with flogging;
but I will not take my love from him,
nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.

I will not violate my covenant
or alter what my lips have uttered.

(Psalm 89:30-34)

 

[posthuman]

For thou wilt light my candle:
the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

For by thee I have run through a troop;
and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

As for God, his way is perfect:
the word of the LORD is tried:
he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

For who is God save the LORD?
or who is a rock save our God?

It is God that girdeth me with strength,
and maketh my way perfect.

(Psalm 18:28-32)
