And this was their reply to us:

"We are the servants of 

        the God of heaven and earth..."

                           Ezra 5.11

(by Whom we are known,

         our identity,

    manifest in every word and action)

What no eye has seen,
   nor ear heard,
   nor the heart of man conceived,
what God has prepared
          for those who love Him.

                              1 Corinthians 2.9

(beyond our wildest dreams,
    yes,
    even in this)

...in whatever place he sojourns...

                                 Ezra 1.4

(Wherever God places us,

always strategically,

always with great purpose)

...singing aloud a song of thanksgiving,
and telling all Your wondrous deeds.

                                     Psalm 26.7

(A powerful defense against despair
   that uplifts you
   and everyone around you)

But the LORD sits enthroned for ever...

                                 Psalm 9.7

(No matter how things appear,
no matter the circumstances,
God is still God.
He is still sovereign over all.)

...in order that we may bear fruit for God.

                                  Romans 7.4

(love and grace in all ways
     and in all things)

For He is good,
for His steadfast love endures for ever.

                                2 Chronicles 7.3

(Repeat daily.
It will change how we see God,
how we see others, and
what we do.)
