When I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, the land I promised on oath to their forefathers, and when they eat their fill and thrive, they will turn to other gods and worship them, rejecting me and breaking my covenant.
Deuteronomy Chapter 31: Verse 20
He who brings trouble on his family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise.
Proverbs Chapter 11: Verse 29
The angel of the LORD found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur.
And he said, "Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?" "I'm running away from my mistress Sarai," she answered.
Then the angel of the LORD told her, "Go back to your mistress and submit to her."
The angel added, "I will so increase your descendants that they will be too numerous to count."
The angel of the LORD also said to her: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard of your misery.
He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers."
She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: "You are the God who sees me," for she said, "I have now seen the One who sees me."
Genesis Chapter 16: Verses 7 - 13
Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.
1 Timothy Chapter 1: Verse 13
"There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens to help you and on the clouds in his majesty.
The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, 'Destroy him!'
So Israel will live in safety alone; Jacob's spring is secure in a land of grain and new wine, where the heavens drop dew.
Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD ? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword. Your enemies will cower before you, and you will trample down their high places. "
Deuteronomy Chapter 33: Verses 26 - 29
All that our Savior hath spoken
Came from the heart of God;
Surely it cannot be broken,
Sealed with His precious blood.
Refrain
Tempests may rage and thunder,
Mountains be rent asunder,
Nations may fear and wonder-
Trust, and be undismayed.
As unto Abram was given
God's cov'nant word of peace,
"Counting the stars" of the even-
So shall thy faith increase.
Refrain
Trust when the light warm and tender
Seemeth to Thee withdrawn;
Wait a few hours, and in splendor
Morning again will dawn!
Refrain
Trust! tho' all others forsake thee,
Yet there remains one Friend;
Mercy and truth shall o'ertake thee
Down to thy journey's end.
Refrain
Trust under every condition
Till thou shalt reach thy home;
Trust, till in perfect fruition
That which is real hath come.
Refrain
