I do not turn away from your ordinances,
for you have taught me.
How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Through your precepts I get understanding;
therefore I hate every false way.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
Psalm 119:102-105
Give instruction to the wise, and they will
become wiser still;
teach the righteous and they will gain in
learning.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of
wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
For by me your days will be multiplied,
and years will be added to your life.
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself;
if you scoff, you alone will bear it.
Proverbs 9:9-12
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say,
Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.
Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to
God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will
guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is
honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing,
whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is
anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing
the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in
me, and the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:4-9
