#mydailyverse Fear not, for I have redeemed you;/ I have called you by name: you are mine./ When you pass through the water, I will be with you;/ in the rivers you shall not drown./ When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned;/ the flames shall not consume you.

[Stan the Man @quarropas]

#mydailyverse Say to those whose hearts are frightened:/
Be strong, fear not!/ Here is your God,/ he comes
with vindication;/ With divine recompense/
he comes to save you.

[Stan the Man @quarropas]

#mydailyverse The Lord sits enthroned forever;
he has set up his throne for judgment.
He judges the world with justice;
he governs the peoples with equity. R/
The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of distress.
They trust in you who cherish your name,
for you forsake not those who seek you, O Lord. R/

#mydailyverse I put water in the desert/ and rivers in the wasteland/ for my chosen people to drink,/ The people whom I formed for myself,/ that they might announce my praise./ It is I, I, who wipe out,/ for my own sake, your offenses;/ your sins I remember no more.

#mydailyverse We did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye­witnesses of his majesty. For he re­ceived honor and glory from God the Father when that unique declaration came to him from the majestic glory, “This is my Son, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased.”

#mydailyverse Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness.
Come before him, singing for joy.
Know that he, the Lord, is God.
He made us, we belong to him,
we are his people, the sheep of his flock.
Go within his gates, giving thanks.
Enter his courts with songs of praise.
Give thanks to him and bless his name.
Indeed, how good is the Lord,
eternal his merciful love.
He is faithful from age to age.

[Stan the Man @quarropas]

#mydailyverse Seek the Lord, all you humble of the earth,/ who have observed his law;/ Seek justice, seek humility

[Stan the Man @quarropas]

#mydailyverse Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his own face in a mirror. He sees himself, then goes off and promptly forgets what he looked like. But the one who peers into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres, and is not a hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, such a one shall be blessed in what he does.

[Stan the Man @quarropas]

#mydailyverse The Lord is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and of great kindness.
The Lord is good to all
and compassionate toward all his works. R/
The eyes of all look hopefully to you,
and you give them their food in due season;
you open your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing. R/
The Lord is just in all his ways
and holy in all his works.
The Lord is near to all who call upon him,
to all who call upon him in truth. R/

#mydailyverse Rescue me out of the mire; may I not sink!
may I be rescued from my foes,
and from the watery depths.
Let not the flood-waters overwhelm me,
nor the abyss swallow me up,
nor the pit close its mouth over me. R/
But I am afflicted and in pain;
let your saving help, O God, protect me.
I will praise the name of God in song,
and I will glorify him with thanksgiving.

@jcfva64 @JamesLucasIT I believe that’s a watch fob hanging out of his pocket. Would assume they had the lamp as it indicates how early they left the farm to get to the train. the rag was likely there for the Dad to clean his hands after some work off sorts

#mydailyverse We know that if our earthly dwelling, a tent, should be destroyed, we have a building from God, a dwelling not made with hands, eternal in heaven.

[Stan the Man @quarropas]

#mydailyverse Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do. And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection.

[Stan the Man @quarropas]

#mydailyverse Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love. In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only-begotten Son into the world so that we might have life through him. In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also must love one another. No one has ever seen God. Yet, if we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is brought to perfection in us.

[Stan the Man @quarropas]

#mydailyverseO Lord, you have been our refuge
from one generation to the next.
Before the mountains were born
or the earth or the world brought forth,
you are God, without beginning or end.
You turn men back to dust
and say: “Go back, sons of men.”
To your eyes a thousand years
are like yesterday, come and gone,
no more than a watch in the night.
You sweep men away like a dream,
like grass which springs up in the morning.
In the morning it springs up and flowers:
by evening it withers and fades.
In the morning, fill us with your love;
we shall exult and rejoice all our days.
Give us joy to balance our affliction
for the years when we knew misfortune.

[Stan the Man @quarropas]

#mydailyverse Notice how the flowers grow. They do not toil or spin. But I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass in the field that grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith?

[Stan the Man @quarropas]

#mydailyverse Happy the man who meditates on wisdom,
and reflects on knowledge;
Who ponders her ways in his heart,
and understands her paths;
Who encamps near her house,
and fastens his tent pegs next to her walls;
Who pitches his tent beside her,
and lives as her welcome neighbor;
Who builds his nest in her leafage,
and lodges in her branches;
Who takes shelter with her from the heat,
and dwells in her home.
Motherlike she will meet him,
like a young bride she will embrace him,
Nourish him with the bread of understanding,
and give him the water of learning to drink.
He will lean upon her and not fall,
he will trust in her and not be put to shame.
She will exalt him above his fellows;
in the assembly she will make him eloquent.
Joy and gladness he will find,
an everlasting name inherit.

[Stan the Man @quarropas]

#mydailyverse Just as from the heavens/ the rain and snow come down/ And do not return there/ till they have watered the earth,/ making it fertile and fruitful,/ Giving seed to him who sows/ and bread to him who eats,/ So shall my word be/ that goes forth from my mouth;/ It shall not return to me void,/ but shall do my will,/ achieving the end for which I sent it.

[Stan the Man @quarropas]

#mydailyverse The Lord, your God, is in your midst,/ a mighty savior;/ He will rejoice over you with gladness,/ and renew you in his love,/ He will sing joyfully because of you,/ as one sings at festivals./ I will remove disaster from among you,/ so that none may recount your disgrace.

[Stan the Man @quarropas]

#mydailyverse Do you not know
or have you not heard?
The Lord is the eternal God,
creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint nor grow weary,
and his knowledge is beyond scrutiny.
He gives strength to the fainting;
for the weak he makes vigor abound.
Though young men faint and grow weary,
and youths stagger and fall,
They that hope in the Lord will renew their strength,
they will soar as with eagles’ wings;
They will run and not grow weary,
walk and not grow faint.
