| Proverbs 8: 22 - 31 | |
| 22 | The LORD created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old. |
| 23 | Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. |
| 24 | When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. |
| 25 | Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth; |
| 26 | before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world. |
| 27 | When he established the heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, |
| 28 | when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, |
| 29 | when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, |
| 30 | then I was beside him, like a master workman; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, |
| 31 | rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the sons of men. |
| Psalms 8: 4 - 9 | |
| 4 | what is man that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that thou dost care for him? |
| 5 | Yet thou hast made him little less than God, and dost crown him with glory and honor. |
| 6 | Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet, |
| 7 | all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, |
| 8 | the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the sea. |
| 9 | O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is thy name in all the earth! |
| Romans 5: 1 - 5 | |||||||||||
| 1 | Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. | ||||||||||
| 2 | Through him we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God. | ||||||||||
| 3 | More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, | ||||||||||
| 4 | and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, | ||||||||||
| 5 | and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.
