Understand what the will of the Lord is.
For this is the will of God, your sanctification.—“Agree with God, and be at peace; thereby good will come to you.”—“And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.”—And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
We have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.—The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,… give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might.

“The Lord is with you while you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you…. But when in their distress they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.”
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me… when you seek me with all your heart.”
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way,… and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith.

“So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants.’”
Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith.—What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?—For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.—For from him and through him and to him are all things.— “For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.”—Enter not into judgment with your servant, for no one living is righteous before you.
1 Chronicles 29:14 (Listen)14 “But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.
(ESV)
Psalm 143:2 (Listen)2 Enter not into judgment with your servant,
for no one living is righteous before you.(ESV)

(ESV)
Ephesians 2:8–10 (Listen)8 For by grace you have been saved through faith.

The Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret…. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there were none of them.
Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us?—“In him we live and move and have our being.”—As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.—Yet he, being compassionate, atoned for their iniquity and did not destroy them; he restrained his anger often and did not stir up all his wrath. He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and comes not again.

“I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their own good and the good of their children after them.”
“I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you.”—Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.—“That they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”
I… urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness,… eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Psalm 25:8–10 (Listen)8 Good and upright is the LORD;

When I am weak, then I am strong.—My God has become my strength.—But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.—“Let them lay hold of my protection.”
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you.—His arms were made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob.
“I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
“You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.”—Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me! Take hold of shield and buckler and rise for my help!

he who formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;

for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD,
and my God has become my strength—(ESV)
2 Corinthians 12:9–10 (Listen)9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
“Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
