Just when we think we
are driven far from your sight
you hear our
supplications and our cries for help.
Just when we are
amazed by your gracious acts,
you show us even greater
wonders.
Still, we find
ourselves ensnared
by what is abhorrent
to you.
As we were once
foolish and disobedient,
we shall be again
unless you sustain us
when we cry to you
for help.

Selected Verses
Ps.31:22
I had said in my alarm,
“I am driven far from your sight.”
But you heard my supplications
when I cried out to you for help.
“I am driven far from your sight.”
But you heard my supplications
when I cried out to you for help.
Deut. 7:25
The images of their gods you shall burn with fire. Do not
covet the silver or the gold that is on them and take it for yourself, because
you could be ensnared by it; for it is abhorrent to the LORD your God.
Titus 3:1-3a
Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be
obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid
quarreling, to be gentle, and to show every courtesy to everyone. For we
ourselves were once foolish, disobedient…
John 1:50
Jesus answered [Nathanael], "Do you believe because I
told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these."
