Psalm 23:1-6
Adonai is my shepherd, I shall not want. HE makes ME lie down in green pastures. HE leads ME beside still waters. HE restores my soul. HE guides ME in paths of Righteousness for HIS NAME’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for YOU are with ME: YOUR rod and YOUR staff comfort me. YOU prepare a table before ME in the presence of my enemies. YOU have anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the House of ADONAI
forever
Matthew 15:14
Leave them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”
Matthew 16:16-18
Simon Peter answered, “YOU are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” YESHUA said to him, “Blessed are YOU, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to YOU, but MY FATHER who is in heaven! And I also tell YOU that YOU are Peter, and upon this rock I will build MY community; and the gates of Sheol will not overpower it.
John 17:20-26
“I pray not on behalf of these only, but also for those who believe in ME through their message, that they all may be ONE. Just as YOU, FATHER, are in ME and I AM in YOU, so also may they be ONE in US, so the world may believe that YOU sent ME. The glory that YOU have given to ME I have given to them, that they may be ONE just as WE are ONE— I in them and YOU in ME—that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that YOU sent ME and loved them as YOU loved ME. “FATHER, I also want those YOU have given ME to be with ME where I AM, so that they may see MY glory—the glory YOU gave ME, for YOU loved ME before the foundation of the world. Righteous FATHER, the world did not know YOU, but I knew YOU; and these knew that YOU sent ME. I made YOUR NAME known to them, and will continue to make it known, so that the love with which YOU loved ME may be in them, and I in them.”
1 Corinthians 1:30
“…you are in CHRIST JESUS, who became for us wisdom from GOD”
2 Corinthians 4:18; 18
So we fix our eyes NOT on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
