Many

The words of the godly encourage many, but fools are destroyed by their lack of common sense.

Where there is no counsel, purposes are frustrated, but with many counselors they are accomplished.

God-loyal people don't stay down long; Soon they're up on their feet, while the wicked end up flat on their faces.

God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.” This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.

Take a good look, friends, at who you were when you got called into this life. I don't see many of "the brightest and the best" among you, not many influential, not many from high-society families. Isn't it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, chose these "nobodies" to expose the hollow pretensions of the "somebodies"? That makes it quite clear that none of you can get by with blowing your own horn before God. Everything that we have—right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start—comes from God by way of Jesus Christ. That's why we have the saying, "If you're going to blow a horn, blow a trumpet for God."

Proverbs 10:21 Proverbs 15:22 Proverbs 24:15 Romans 4:17 1 Corinthians 1:26

He who waits on the Lord will not be crushed by the weights of adversity.
