Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up, and they saw the God of Israel. Under his feet there was something like a pavement made of sapphire, clear like the sky itself. But he did not lay a hand on the leaders of the Israelites, so they saw God, and they ate and they drank. (Exodus 24:9–11 NET)

 0 Where would I be if I did not believe I would experience the LORD’s favor in the land of the living? Rely on the LORD! Be strong and confident! Rely on the LORD! (Psa. 27:13–14 NET) https://accordance.bible/link/read/NET#Psa._27:13

Our God is in heaven. He does whatever he pleases. (Psa. 115:3 NET) https://accordance.bible/link/read/NET#Psa._115:3

The LORD, my Protector, deserves praise — the one who trains my hands for battle, and my fingers for war, who loves me and is my stronghold, my refuge and my deliverer, my shield and the one in whom I take shelter, who makes nations submit to me. (Psa. 144:1–2 NET) https://accordance.bible/link/read/NET#Psa._144:1

O LORD, my heart is not proud, nor do I have a haughty look. I do not have great aspirations, or concern myself with things that are beyond me. Indeed, I have calmed and quieted myself like a weaned child with its mother; I am content like a young child. O Israel, hope in the LORD now and forevermore! (Psa. 131:1–3 NET) https://accordance.bible/link/read/NET#Psa._131:1

This saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on such truths, so that those who have placed their faith in God may be intent on engaging in good works. These things are good and beneficial for all people. But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, quarrels, and fights about the law, because they are useless and empty. Reject a divisive person after one or two warnings. You know that such a person is twisted by sin and is conscious of it himself. (Titus 3:8–11 NET) https://accordance.bible/link/read/NET#Titus_3:8 

First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanks be offered on behalf of all people, even for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. Such prayer for all is good and welcomed before God our Savior, since he wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one intermediary between God and humanity, Christ Jesus, himself human, who gave himself as a ransom for all, revealing God’s purpose at his appointed time. For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle—I am telling the truth; I am not lying—and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. So I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or dispute. (1 Tim. 2:1–8 NET) https://accordance.bible/link/read/NET#1Tim._2:1
