Strength to persevere

November 17

"Lo, the day is coming, blazing like an oven,

 when all the proud and all evildoers will be stubble,

 and the day that is coming will set them on fire,

 leaving them neither root nor branch,

 says the LORD of hosts.

 But for you who fear my name, there will arise

 the sun of justice with its healing rays."

-Malachi 3:19-20

Inherit the kingdom

November 16

"Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’"

-Matthew 25:34-36

His kingdom

November 14

"I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language might serve Him His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed."

-Daniel 7:13-14

How lovely is thy dwelling place

November 11

“How lovely is thy dwelling place,

O Lord of hosts!

My soul longs, yea, faints

  for the courts of the Lord;

my heart and flesh sing for joy

  to the living God.

Even the sparrow finds a home,

  and the swallow a nest for herself,

  where she may lay her young,

at thy altars, O Lord of hosts,

  my King and my God.

Blessed are those who dwell in thy house,

  ever singing thy praise!

Blessed are the men whose strength is in thee,

  in whose heart are the highways to Zion.

As they go through the valley of Baca

  they make it a place of springs;

  the early rain also covers it with pools.

They go from strength to strength;

  the God of gods will be seen in Zion.

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;

  give ear, O God of Jacob!

Behold our shield, O God;

  look upon the face of thine anointed!

For a day in thy courts is better

  than a thousand elsewhere.

I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God

  than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield;

  he bestows favor and honor.

No good thing does the Lord withhold

  from those who walk uprightly.

O Lord of hosts,

  blessed is the man who trusts in thee!"

-Psalm 84
