Search and read the scroll of the Lord: Not one of them will be missing, none will be lacking its mate, because He has ordered it by my mouth, and He will gather them by His Spirit.

My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,listening closely to wisdom and directing your heart to understanding;furthermore, if you call out to insight and lift your voice to understanding,if you seek it like silver and search for it like hidden treasure,then you will understand the fear of the Lord and discover the knowledge of God.

This is why we constantly thank God, because when you received the message about God that you heard from us, you welcomed it not as a human message, but as it truly is, the message of God, which also works effectively in you believers.

So we have the prophetic word strongly confirmed. You will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.First of all, you should know this: No prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation,because no prophecy ever came by the will of man; instead, men spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that would come to you searched and carefully investigated.They inquired into what time or what circumstances the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when He testified in advance to the messianic sufferings and the glories that would follow.It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you. These things have now been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Angels desire to look into these things.

I understand more than the elders because I obey Your precepts.

Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will learn more.

How I love Your instruction! It is my meditation all day long.

Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night.He is like a tree planted beside streams of water that bears its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

But anyone who lives by the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be shown to be accomplished by God.”
