I was gardening yesterday and this scripture came to mind:

“‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will take a shoot from the very top of a cedar and plant it; I will break off a tender sprig from its topmost shoots and plant it on a high and lofty mountain." (Ezekiel 17:22)

 

[PrincetonGuy]

13. For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,
14. saying, “I WILL SURELY BLESS YOU AND I WILL SURELY MULTIPLY YOU.”
15. And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise.
16. For men swear by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute.
17. In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath,
18. so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.
19. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil,
20. where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. (NASB, 1995)

 

[Shalico2007]

Matthew 7:24 "'Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:'"

[PrincetonGuy]

23. The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing,
24. but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently.
25. Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
26. For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens;
27. who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. (NASB, 1995)

1 Peter 2:24 "who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness - by whose stripes you were healed."

"Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered: let them also that hate Him flee before Him."

 

[PrincetonGuy]

1. Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
2. a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.
3. For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.
4. Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law;
5. who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, “SEE,” He says, “THAT YOU MAKE all things ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN WHICH WAS SHOWN YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN.”
6. But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. (NASB, 1995)

 

[Herring]

“Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates 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 ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”
Joshua 24:14-15

 

[pilgrimgal]

God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.(NIV)

Proverbs 8:14 Counsel is mine and sound wisdom;
I am understanding, power is mine.

Isaiah 40:28-31 (New Living Translation)

28 Have you never heard?
Have you never understood?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
29 He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.
30 Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.

 

[Shalico2007]

Psalm 5:11-12 "But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You. For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield."

 

[WannaWitness]

"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

 

[Shalico2007]

Psalm 31:19-20 "Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence From the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion From the strife of tongues."

 

[WannaWitness]

" 'I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.' "

Lamentations 3:22 - 24 (NIV)

22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
