To whom will the Lord Look?

To whom will the Lord Look?

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 34:18 NIV

Thus says the LORD:

"Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool;
what is the house which you would build for me,
and what is the place of my rest?

All these things my hand has made,
and so all these things are mine, says the LORD.

But this is the man to whom I will look,
he that is humble and contrite in spirit,
and trembles at my word.

Isaiah 66:1,2 RSV

Everything Has Its Time

Everything on earth
has its own time
and its own season.

There is a time
for birth and death,
planting and reaping,

for killing and healing,
destroying and building,

for crying and laughing,
weeping and dancing,

for throwing stones
and gathering stones,
embracing and parting.

There is a time
for finding and losing,
keeping and giving,

for tearing and sewing,
listening and speaking.

There is also a time
for love and hate,
for war and peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 CEV
