Your word is settled in heaven forever, O Lord. Your faithfulness continues through all generations; You established the earth, and it stands. They continue to this day according to Your ordinances, for all things serve You. (Psalm 119:89–91)

The Works of God

God made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding. (Jeremiah 10:12)

My Relationship to God

By this is Your Father glorified, that I bear much fruit, showing myself to be Your disciple. (John 15:8)
