Be Happy

Written by Joyce C. Lock


Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved byrepparttar LORD,repparttar 126578 shield of thy help, and who isrepparttar 126579 sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places. Deut. 33:28-29

Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom. 1 Kings 10:8

Behold, happy isrepparttar 126580 man whom God correcteth ... Job 5:17

As arrows are inrepparttar 126581 hand of a mighty man; so are children ofrepparttar 126582 youth. Happy isrepparttar 126583 man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak withrepparttar 126584 enemies inrepparttar 126585 gate. Blessed is every one that fearethrepparttar 126586 LORD; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eatrepparttar 126587 labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Psalm 127:3-128:2

Happy is that people ... whose God isrepparttar 126588 LORD. Psalm 144:15

Happy is he that hathrepparttar 126589 God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is inrepparttar 126590 LORD his God. Psalm 146:5

Happy isrepparttar 126591 man that findeth wisdom, andrepparttar 126592 man that getteth understanding. Forrepparttar 126593 merchandise of it is better thanrepparttar 126594 merchandise of silver, andrepparttar 126595 gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and allrepparttar 126596 things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. Proverbs 3:13-18

... he that hath mercy onrepparttar 126597 poor, happy is he. Proverbs 14:21

He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth inrepparttar 126598 LORD, happy is he. Proverbs 16:20

Our Hope

Written by Joyce C. Lock


Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope inrepparttar Lord. Behold,repparttar 126577 eye ofrepparttar 126578 Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy.

Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.

But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. That they might set their hope in God, and not forgetrepparttar 126579 works of God, but keep his commandments.

Rememberrepparttar 126580 word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. I wait forrepparttar 126581 Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

Let Israel hope inrepparttar 126582 Lord: for withrepparttar 126583 Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. Let Israel hope inrepparttar 126584 Lord from henceforth and for ever.

Happy is he that hathrepparttar 126585 God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is inrepparttar 126586 Lord his God. The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

The hope ofrepparttar 126587 righteous shall be gladness: butrepparttar 126588 expectation ofrepparttar 126589 wicked shall perish.

Hope deferred makethrepparttar 126590 heart sick: but whenrepparttar 126591 desire cometh, it is a tree of life. For to him that is joined to allrepparttar 126592 living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. Forrepparttar 126593 grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down intorepparttar 126594 pit cannot hope for thy truth.

Blessed isrepparttar 126595 man that trusteth inrepparttar 126596 Lord, and whose hoperepparttar 126597 Lord is. And there is hope in thine end, saithrepparttar 126598 Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait forrepparttar 126599 salvation ofrepparttar 126600 Lord.

And I will give her her vineyards from thence, andrepparttar 126601 valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as inrepparttar 126602 days of her youth, and as inrepparttar 126603 day when she came up out ofrepparttar 126604 land of Egypt.

The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; andrepparttar 126605 heavens andrepparttar 126606 earth shall shake: butrepparttar 126607 Lord will berepparttar 126608 hope of his people, andrepparttar 126609 strength ofrepparttar 126610 children of Israel.

Turn you torepparttar 126611 strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee.

Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope.

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickenethrepparttar 126612 dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might becomerepparttar 126613 father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope ofrepparttar 126614 glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; becauserepparttar 126615 love of God is shed abroad in our hearts byrepparttar 126616 Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort ofrepparttar 126617 scriptures might have hope.

Nowrepparttar 126618 God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, throughrepparttar 126619 power ofrepparttar 126620 Holy Ghost.

Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; butrepparttar 126621 greatest of these is charity.
