“Why do you say, O Jacob, / and speak, O Israel, / ‘My way is hidden from the Lord, / and my right is disregarded by my God’? / Have you not known? Have you not heard? / The Lord is the everlasting God, / the Creator of the ends of the earth. / He does not faint or grow weary; / his understanding is unsearchable. / He gives power to the faint, / and to him who has no might he increases strength. / Even youths shall faint and be weary, / and young men shall fall exhausted; / but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; / they shall mount up with wings like eagles; /they shall run and not be weary; / they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:27-31, ESV)

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” (Colossians 3:23-24, ESV)

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, / and do not lean on your own understanding. / In all your ways acknowledge him, / and he will make straight your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6, ESV)

“Trust in the Lord, and do good; / dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. / Delight yourself in the Lord, / and he will give you the desires of your heart. / Commit your way to the Lord; / trust in him, and he will act. / He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, / and your justice as the noonday.” (Psalm 37:3-6, ESV)
