18 No one has seen God at any time; the Only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared [Him].
28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights. He neither ate bread, nor drank water. And He wrote upon the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.
10 For a day in Your courts [is] better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
5 Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord [is] at hand.
31 But for Your great mercies, You did not completely destroy them nor forsake them. For You [are] a gracious and merciful God.
13 By this we know that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who were once afar off are made near by the blood of Christ.
17 [The righteous] cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The LORD [is] near to the broken-hearted; and saves those who are of a contrite spirit.
11 Finally, brothers, rejoice. Perfect yourselves; encourage yourselves; mind the same thing; be at peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
9 And heal the sick that are in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has come near you!
16 And may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord [be] with you all.
11 Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.
18 I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
6 Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.
4 One [thing] I have desired from the LORD, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to pray in His temple.
57 May the LORD our God be with us as He was with our fathers. Let Him not leave us nor forsake us,
11 You will make Me know the way of life; in Your presence [is] fullness of joys. At Your right hand [are] pleasures forevermore.
1 And the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded.
2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD [is] with you while you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will be found by you. But if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.
3 And for a long time Israel [had been] without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
4 And when they turned in their trouble to the LORD God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them.
5 And in those times [there was] no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in, but great tumult [was] on all the people of the lands.
6 And nation was beaten by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every distress.
7 But you be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.
8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim. And he renewed the altar of the LORD before the porch of the LORD.
9 And [he] gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon. For they fell to him out of Israel in great numbers, when they saw that the LORD his God [was] with him.
10 And they gathered to Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11 And [they] offered to the LORD in that day part of the plunder which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul,
13 and that whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14 And they swore to the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with ram's horns.
15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought Him with their whole desire. And He was found by them, and the LORD gave them rest all around.
16 And also [as to] Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from [being] queen mother, because she had made an idol in a grove. And Asa cut down her idol and stamped it and burned [it] at the torrent Kidron.
17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel. But the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 And he brought into the house of God the things which his father had dedicated, and which he himself had dedicated, silver and gold and vessels.
19 And there was no war to the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
4 Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His face evermore.
