Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.

Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.

I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”

Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.

The donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. Kish said to Saul his son, “Now take one of the servants with you, and arise, go look for the donkeys.”
