Posture Verses
“Stand at attention while I prepare you for your
work. I’m making you as impregnable as a castle, Immovable as a steel post,

men, women, and children of Israel gathered around him. All the people were now
weeping as if their hearts would break.
So I got up and went out on the plain. I couldn’t believe my eyes:
the Glory of God! Right

ground, prostrate.
Eternal One (to the people): Stand at
the crossing, and consider the ancient path, for it is good and it
leads to Me. Walk on this path, and you will find rest for your souls. But
they have said, “We will not walk upon this road.”
He is ever present with me; at all times He goes before me.

at my right hand.

home; all the while, we will rise and stand firm.

I long for the True God who lives. When can I stand before
Him and feel His comfort?
