Jeremiah
33:14-16
33:14 The days are surely
coming, says the LORD, when I will fulfill the promise I made to
the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
33:15
In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to
spring up for David; and he shall execute justice and
righteousness in the land.
33:16
In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in
safety. And this is the name by which it will be called: "The
LORD is our righteousness."

Psalm
25:1-10
25:1 To you, O LORD, I lift
up my soul.
25:2
O my God, in you I trust; do not let me be put to shame; do not
let my enemies exult over me.
25:3
Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame; let them be
ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
25:4
Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.
25:5
Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my
salvation; for you I wait all day long.
25:6
Be mindful of your mercy, O LORD, and of your steadfast love, for
they have been from of old.
25:7
Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me, for your goodness'
sake, O LORD!
25:8
Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in
the way.
25:9
He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his
way.
25:10
All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for
those who keep his covenant and his decrees.

Thessalonians 3:9-13
3:9 How can we thank God
enough for you in return for all the joy that we feel before our
God because of you?
3:10
Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you face to
face and restore whatever is lacking in your faith.
3:11
Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our
way to you.
3:12
And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one
another and for all, just as we abound in love for you.
3:13
And may he so strengthen your hearts in holiness that you may be
blameless before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord
Jesus with all his saints.

Luke
21:25-36
21:25 "There will be
signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on the earth
distress among nations confused by the roaring of the sea and the
waves.
21:26
People will faint from fear and foreboding of what is coming upon
the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
21:27
Then they will see 'the Son of Man coming in a cloud' with power
and great glory.
21:28
Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your
heads, because your redemption is drawing near."
21:29
Then he told them a parable: "Look at the fig tree and all
the trees;
21:30
as soon as they sprout leaves you can see for yourselves and know
that summer is already near.
21:31
So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the
kingdom of God is near.
21:32
Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all
things have taken place.
21:33
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
21:34
"Be on guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with
dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that
day catch you unexpectedly,
21:35
like a trap. For it will come upon all who live on the face of the
whole earth.
21:36
Be alert at all times, praying that you may have the strength to
escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before
the Son of Man."
