Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do your best in all your ways acknowledge Him, leaning not on your own understanding; to present yourself to God as one approved and He will make your paths straight. Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him. / He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit. Then you will find favor and high regard in the sight of God and man. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you it is the Spirit gives life and the flesh counts for nothing. Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.

I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died. / In this way I will test whether Israel will keep the way of the LORD by walking in it as their fathers did.” / That is why the LORD had left those nations in place and had not driven them out immediately by delivering them into the hand of Joshua. God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts for if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God. Samuel replied: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
