i had done a quick google on the phrase and grabbed the first link that had it.. and somehow picked the wrong text reference.
thanks for picking up on that.
its embarrassing. i try to be accurate. this makes the second mistake i've made.
i need to take the time to check and recheck before i type something. last time i made a mistake on a thread, i got locked out of it.
thanks again.
Hey, don't feel bad. No one knows where absolutely everything is in the Bible! I just figured you may want to know. I like to know these things.
You're never locked out at CF, at least I don't think so. I've edited posts made days and days before! I think that's pretty cool.
Well, the verse in Rom. 8 was very good. Thank you so much for bringing it to the boards.

Second, practice your religion without adulterating it or toning it down. Third, emphasize love and make it your working force, for love is central in Christianity. Fourth, study the non-Christian religions more sympathetically to find the good that is within them in order to have a more sympathetic approach to the people.”
1 Kings 2:3 Keep the charge of the Lord your God, walk in His ways, keep His statutes, His commandments, His precepts, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may do wisely and prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn,

for use in finding employment:
prov22:29 a skilled & diligent worker is always in demand & admired.. not taking a back seat to anyone.
new american standard version:
do you see a man skilled in his work?
he will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.

thus says the Lord...."My plans for you are for prosperity and not calamity.. to give you future and hope." - jer.29:10,11 - (nasb)

His plans are always good. It's a shame so many resist Him. It's the devil we resist, and God we say yes to.
Yes, Lord! We say yes, to Your plans, and to Your ways. We walk after You, following hard after You. Thank You for the good things You have in store for us, Thank You for prospering us, and doing us good.
