⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

~ 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NASB)

⁸ In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. ⁹ And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. ¹⁰ But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; ¹¹ for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. ¹² This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

~ Luke 2:8-12

²⁴ The LORD bless you, and keep you; ²⁵ The LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you;

¹⁶ Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to give you an answer concerning this matter. ¹⁷ If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. ¹⁸ But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”

~ Daniel 3:16-18 (NASB)

It is good to give thanks to the LORD And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; ² To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning and Your faithfulness by night, ³ With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp, with resounding music upon the lyre. ⁴ For You, O LORD, have made me glad by what You have done, I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands. ⁵ How great are Your works, O LORD! Your thoughts are very deep.

~ Psalm 92:1-5
