Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not to your own understanding; in
all of your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths. Do not be wise
in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. Proverbs 3:5-7.
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. Wisdom will save
you from wicked men whose words are perverse. Proverbs 2: 10-13
He tends his flock like a shepherd; he gathers his lambs in his arms and carries
them close to his heart; he gently leads those who are young. Isaiah 40:11
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even the
youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who
wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They will soar like wings of eagles;
they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40: 29-41.
Know I know that the Lord saves his anointed; he answers them from his holy
heaven with the saving power of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some
in horses but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They are brought to their
knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. Psalm 20:6-8.
But Ruth replied, (to her mother-in law Naomi) "Don't urge me to leave you or to
turn back from you. Where you go I will go and where you stay I will stay. Your
people will be my people and your God, my God. Where you die, I will die and
there I will be buried. May the LORD deal with me be it ever severely, if any
thing but death separates you and me. Ruth 1:16-17.
Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the Gods your
forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. But
if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this
day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the
River (the Jordan River), or the gods of the Amorities, in whose land you are
living. But as for me and my household. we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:
14-15.
