Isaiah 43:16-21 (NKJV) 16  Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea And a path through the mighty waters, 17  Who brings forth the chariot and horse, The army and the power (They shall lie down together, they shall not rise; They are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick): 18  "Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. 19  Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. 20  The beast of the field will honor Me, The jackals and the ostriches, Because I give waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, To give drink to My people, My chosen. 21  This people I have formed for Myself; They shall declare My praise.    

Luke 15:11-32 (NKJV) 11  Then He said: "A certain man had two sons. 12  And the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.' So he divided to them his livelihood. 13  And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. 14  But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. 15  Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16  And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything. 17  But when he came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18  I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, 19  and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of y

God, Fill Me Up! Psalm 63:1-8 (NKJV) 1  A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. 2  So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. 3  Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You. 4  Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. 5  My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips. 6  When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches. 7  Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. 8  My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.    

Genesis 15:1-6 (NKJV) 1  After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." 2  But Abram said, "Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?" 3  Then Abram said, "Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!" 4  And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir." 5  Then He brought him outside and said, "Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them." And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be." 6  And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.    

Luke 4:1-14 (NKJV) 1  Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2  being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry. 3  And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread." 4  But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.' " 5  Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6  And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours." 8  And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.' " 9  Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on

Psalm 98:1-9 (NKJV) 1  A Psalm. Oh, sing to the LORD a new song! For He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory. 2  The LORD has made known His salvation; His righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the nations. 3  He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 4  Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth; Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises. 5  Sing to the LORD with the harp, With the harp and the sound of a Psalm, 6  With trumpets and the sound of a horn; Shout joyfully before the LORD, the King. 7  Let the sea roar, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell in it; 8  Let the rivers clap their hands; Let the hills be joyful together before the LORD, 9  For He is coming to judge the earth. With righteousness He shall judge the world, And the peoples with equity.    

Luke 6:17-20 (NKJV) 17  And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases, 18  as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed. 19  And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all. 20  Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: "Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God.    

1 Kings 18:41-46 (NKJV) 41  Then Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain." 42  So Ahab went up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees, 43  and said to his servant, "Go up now, look toward the sea." So he went up and looked, and said, "There is nothing." And seven times he said, "Go again." 44  Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, "There is a cloud, as small as a man's hand, rising out of the sea!" So he said, "Go up, say to Ahab, 'Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.' " 45  Now it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel. 46  Then the hand of the LORD came upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

Exodus 33:14-23 (NKJV) 14  And He said, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." 15  Then he said to Him, "If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. 16  For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth." 17  So the LORD said to Moses, "I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name." 18  And he said, "Please, show me Your glory." 19  Then He said, "I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion." 20  But He said, "You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live." 21  And the LORD said, "Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock. 22  So it shall be, while My glory pas
