Verses:
Isaiah 29:17-24
Psalm 27:1, 4, 13-14
Matthew 7:27-31
Isaiah 29:17-24
17 In a very short
time, will not Lebanon be turned into a fertile field
and the fertile field seem like a forest?
18 In that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll,
and out of gloom and darkness
the eyes of the blind will see.
19 Once more the humble will rejoice in the Lord;
the needy will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 The ruthless will vanish,
the mockers will disappear,
and all who have an eye for evil will be cut down—
21 those who with a word make someone out to be guilty,
who ensnare the defender in court
and with false testimony deprive the innocent of justice.

22 Therefore this
is what the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, says to
the descendants of Jacob:
“No
longer will Jacob be ashamed;
no longer will their faces grow pale.
23 When they see among them their children,
the work of my hands,
they will keep my name holy;
they will acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One of Jacob,
and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24 Those who are wayward in spirit will gain understanding;
those who complain will accept instruction.”
no longer will their faces grow pale.

Psalm 27:1, 4, 13-14
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
4 One thing I ask
from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
13 I remain
confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
Matthew 7:27-29
27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and
the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
28 When Jesus had
finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because
he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
Lord, I will always be strong to follow You and I will always wait for You. Amen.
