America is again at a place where there seem to be no human solutions to problems. As at our founding, we need a LOT of help from on high. So, I continue sharing my daily Bible explorations.  These Bible citations found in the very intersting book, Delighted By Discipline Reaping the Rewards of Spiritual Commitment, By Mark R. Littleton, 1990

Psalms 139

[13] For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

[14] I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

[15] My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

[16] Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

[17] How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

[18] If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

[19] Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

[20] For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

[21] Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

[22] I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

[23] Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

[24] And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalms 121

[1] I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

[2] My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

[3] He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

[4] Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

[5] The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

[6] The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

[7] The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

[8] The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Deuteronomy 6

[4] Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

[5] And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

[6] And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

[7] And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

[8] And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

[9] And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

Habakkuk 1

[12] Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.

[13] Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

[14] And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?

[15] They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.

[16] Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.

[17] Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?

Habakkuk 2

[1] I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

Isaiah 59

[11] We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

 

Isaiah 31

[4] For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

 

Isaiah 8

[19] And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?

[20] To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Psalms 92

[1] It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

[2] To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

[3] Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

[4] For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

[5] O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

Psalms 119

[23] Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

[27] Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

[48] My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

[78] Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.

[148] Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
