• Set me ablaze

  Hosanna, for He is risen, and alive.
  
  James 1:19 Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. 20 Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires. 21 So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.

   22 But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. 23 For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. 24 You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. 25 But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.

   26 If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. 27 Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.

  Proverbs 6
  There are six things the Lord hates—
        no, seven things he detests:
        haughty eyes,
        a lying tongue,
        hands that kill the innocent,
        a heart that plots evil,
        feet that race to do wrong,
        a false witness who pours out lies,
        a person who sows discord in a family.
  
  Psalm 6
  O Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger
        or discipline me in your rage.
  Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak.
        Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.
  I am sick at heart.
        How long, O Lord, until you restore me?
  Return, O Lord, and rescue me.
        Save me because of your unfailing love.
  For the dead do not remember you.
        Who can praise you from the grave?
  
  2nd Chronicles 16:9a The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.
  
  Isaiah 45: 23 I have sworn by my own name;
        I have spoken the truth,
        and I will never go back on my word:
     Every knee will bend to me,
        and every tongue will confess allegiance to me.”
   24 The people will declare,
        “The Lord is the source of all my righteousness and strength.”
     And all who were angry with him
        will come to him and be ashamed.
   25 In the Lord all the generations of Israel will be justified,
        and in him they will boast.
  
  Isaiah 42: 1 “Look at my servant, whom I strengthen.
        He is my chosen one, who pleases me.
     I have put my Spirit upon him.
        He will bring justice to the nations.
   2 He will not shout
        or raise his voice in public.
   3 He will not crush the weakest reed
        or put out a flickering candle.
        He will bring justice to all who have been wronged.
  
  Isaiah 40: 30 Even youths will become weak and tired,
        and young men will fall in exhaustion.
   31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
        They will soar high on wings like eagles.
     They will run and not grow weary.
        They will walk and not faint.
  
  Deuteronomy 32: 43 “Rejoice with him, you heavens,
        and let all of God’s angels worship him.
     Rejoice with his people, you nations,
        and let all the angels be strengthened in him.
     For he will avenge the blood of his servants;
        he will take revenge against his enemies.
     He will repay those who hate him
        and cleanse the land for his people.”
  
  1 Samuel 2:10 Those who fight against the Lord will be shattered.
     He thunders against them from heaven;
        the Lord judges throughout the earth.
     He gives power to his king;
        he increases the strength of his anointed one.”
