Psalm 119:24 Your decrees are my delight, they are my counsellors.

Isaiah 45:15 Truly, you are a God who hides himself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.

Romans 8:15 – 19 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’  it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.  I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us.  For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God.
