Psalm 10:14

But You know all about it -
the contempt, the abuse.

I dare to believe that the luckless
will get lucky someday in You.
You won't let them down:
orphans won't be orphans forever.

Mark 6:31

Then Jesus said,
"Let's go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest a while."

He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn't even have time to eat.

Jeremiah 15:19-21

This is how the Lord responds:

"If you return to me, I will restore you
so you can continue to serve me.

If you speak good words rather than worthless ones,
You will be my spokesman.

You must influence them;
do not let them influence you!

They will fight against you like an attacking army,
but I will make you as secure as a fortified wall of bronze.

They will not conquer you,
for I am with you to protect and rescue you.
I, the Lord, have spoken!

Yes, I will certainly keep you safe from these wicked men.
I will rescue you from their cruel hands."

Jame 2:15-16

Suppose you see a brother or sister
who has no food or clothing,
and you say,
"Good-bye and have a good day;
stay warm and eat well"
- but then you don't give that person any food or clothing.
What good does that do?

Daniel 2:30

And it is not because I am wiser than anyone else that I know the secret of your dream,
but because God wants you to understand what was in your heart.
