Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt.
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations.
You shall be called the repairer of the breach,
the restorer of streets to live in.
—Isaiah 58
Not only will we have to repent for the sins of bad people; but we also will have to repent for the appalling silence of good people.
—Martin Luther King Jr.
Do not fret because of the wicked.
Do not be envious of wrongdoers, for they will soon fade like the grass
and wither like the green herb.
Trust in the Lord and do good.
Live in the land and enjoy security.
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
—Psalm 37
Refrain from anger and forsake wrath.
Do not fret—it leads only to evil.
For the wicked shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.
—Psalm 37
For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him.
He alone is my rock & my salvation, my fortress.
On God rests my deliverance & my honor; my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.
Trust in him at all times, O people. Pour out your heart before him.
God is a refuge for us.
—Psalm 62
…affliction produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
—Romans 5
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. You will know them by their fruits.
—Matthew 7
You cannot serve God
and wealth.
-Matthew 6
The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

Imagination is a danger, thus every totalitarian regime is frightened of the artist. It is the vocation of the prophet to keep alive the ministry of imagination,to keep on conjuring & proposing alternative futures to the single one the king wants to urge as the only thinkable one.
