Found

But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell?

“But true wisdom and power are found in God; counsel and understanding are his.

Make me walk along the path of your commands, for that is where my happiness is found.

Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them.

But now that you've found you don't have to listen to sin tell you what to do, and have discovered the delight of listening to God telling you, what a surprise! A whole, healed, put-together life right now, with more and more of life on the way!

Even those who lived among the sheepfolds found treasures—doves with wings of silver and feathers of gold.

Job 28:12 Job 12:13 Psalm 119:35 Psalm 32:6 Romans 6:22 Psalm 68:13

The world is watching us – do they see Jesus?

Search


Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.

Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.

Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts

O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water.

Search high and low, scan skies and land, you'll find nothing and no one quite like God. The holy angels are in awe before him; he looms immense and august over everyone around him. God-of-the-Angel-Armies, who is like you, powerful and faithful from every angle?

But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “The Lord is great!”

Psalm 9:10 Psalm 34:14 Psalm 119:2 Psalm 63:1 Psalm 89:5 Psalm 40:16


“I love all who love me. Those who search will surely find me. Proverbs 8:17

Season


They are like trees planted along the riverbank ,bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.


Blessed is the man who trusts me, God, the woman who sticks with God. They're like trees replanted in Eden, putting down roots near the rivers— Never a worry through the hottest of summers, never dropping a leaf, Serene and calm through droughts, bearing fresh fruit every season.

I will bless my people and their homes around my holy hill. And in the proper season I will send the showers they need. There will be showers of blessing.

And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.

The Lord God has given Me the tongue of a disciple and of one who is taught, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He wakens me morning by morning, He wakens my ear to hear as a disciple [as one who is taught].

A word fitly spoken and in due season is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

Psalm 1:3 Jeremiah 17:7 Ezekiel 34:26 Galatians 6:9 Isaiah 50:4 Proverbs 25:11

God uses ordinary people to carry out His extraordinary plan.

Give Thanks


Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.

I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the nations, and I will sing praises to Your name.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.

What a beautiful thing, God, to give thanks, to sing an anthem to you, the High God! To announce your love each daybreak, sing your faithful presence all through the night, Accompanied by dulcimer and harp, the full-bodied music of strings.

I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

To the end that my tongue and my heart and everything glorious within me may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

So we Your people and the sheep of Your pasture Will give thanks to You forever; To all generations we will tell of Your praise.

1 Chronicles 16:8 2 Samuel 22:50 1 Chronicles 16:34 Psalm 92:1 Psalm 9:1 Psalm 30:12 Psalm 79:13

Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalm 100:4
