"I will tell of the kindnesses of the LORD, the deeds for which he is to be praised, according to all the LORD has done for us— yes, the many good things he has done for the house of Israel, according to his compassion and many kindnesses."  ~Isaiah 63:7

"Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee."   ~Isaiah 26:3

"All true obedience comes from the heart.  It was heart work with Christ.  And if we consent, He will so identify Himself with our thoughts and aims, so blend our hearts and minds into conformity to His will, that when obeying Him we shall be but carrying out our own impulses.  The will, refined and sanctified will find its highest delight in doing His service.  When we know God as it is our privilege to know Him, our life will be a life of continual obedience.  Through an appreciation of the character of Christ, through communication with God, sin will become hateful to us."                       ~Ellen G. White, from her book The Desire of Ages

 Psalm 8

 O LORD, our Lord,
       how majestic is your name in all the earth!
       You have set your glory
       above the heavens.

 From the lips of children and infants
       you have ordained praise
       because of your enemies,
       to silence the foe and the avenger.

 When I consider your heavens,
       the work of your fingers,
       the moon and the stars,
       which you have set in place,

 what is man that you are mindful of him,
       the son of man that you care for him?

 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
       and crowned him with glory and honor.

You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
       you put everything under his feet:

all flocks and herds,
       and the beasts of the field,

the birds of the air,
       and the fish of the sea,
       all that swim the paths of the seas.

O LORD, our Lord,
       how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?  Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?  ~Matthew 6:25-26
