So be watchful, and control yourselves completely. In this way, put your hope in the grace that lies ahead. This grace will be brought to you when Jesus Christ returns.

I wish I knew where I could find him! I wish I could go to the place where he lives!I would state my case to him. I’d give him all my arguments.I’d find out what his answers would be. I’d think about what he would say to me.Would he strongly oppose me? No. He wouldn’t bring charges against me.There honest people can prove to him they’re not guilty. There my Judge would tell me once and for all that I’m not guilty.

“ I wish someone would listen to me! I’m signing my name to everything I’ve said. I hope the Mighty One will give me his answer. I hope the one who brings charges against me will write them down.I’ll wear them on my shoulder. I’ll put them on my head like a crown.I’ll give that person a report of every step I take. I’ll present it to him like I would to a ruler.

Even if God kills me, I’ll still put my hope in him. I’ll argue my case in front of him.
