Every Second With You

"Seek and deeply long for the Lord and His strength [His power, His might]; seek and deeply long for His face and His presence continually."
Psalm 105:4
"For this is what the Lord says: 'When seventy years have been completed for Babylon, I will visit you and fulfill My good word to you, to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will let Myself be found by you,' declares the Lord, 'and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you,' declares the Lord, 'and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.'"
Jeremiah 29:10-14
"And immediately Jesus had His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He Himself *dismissed the crowd. And after saying goodbye to them, He left for the mountain to pray. When it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. Seeing them straining at the oars - for the wind was against them - at about the fourth watch of the night, He *came for them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them. But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and they cried out; for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and *said to them, 'Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.' Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished, for they had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but their hearts were hardened."
Mark 6:45-52
"So they went to another village instead. On they way, someone came up to Jesus and said, 'I want to follow you wherever you go.' Jesus replied, 'Yes, but remember this: even animals in the field have holes in the ground to sleep in, and birds have their nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay down his head.' Jesus then turned to another and said, 'Come be my disciple.' He replied, 'Someday I will, Lord, but allow me first to fulfill my duty as a good son and wait until my father passes away.' Jesus told him, 'Don't wait for your father's burial. Let those who are already dead wait for death. As for you, go and proclaim everywhere that God's kingdom has arrived.' Still another said to him, 'Lord, I want to follow you too. But first let me go home and say good-bye to my entire family.' Jesus responded, 'Why do you keep looking back to your past and have second thoughts about following me? If you turn back you are not fit for God's kingdom.'"
Luke 9:56-62
"Here's how we can be sure that we've truly come to know God: if we keep his commands. If someone claims, 'I have come to know God by experience,' yet doesn't keep God's commands, he is a phony and the truth finds no place in him. But the love of God will be perfected within the one who obeys God's Word. We can be sure that we've truly come to live in intimacy with God, not just by saying, 'I am intimate with God,' but by walking in the footsteps of Jesus."
1 John 2:3-6
"How happy are those whose way is blameless, who walk according to the Lord's instruction! Happy are those who keep his decrees and seek him with all their heart. They do nothing wrong; they walk in his ways."
Psalm 119:1-3
