Scriptures:

Proverbs 24:17-18   Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease HIM, and HE turn away HIS wrath from him.

Ephesians 2:8-9  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

James 5:11  Behold, we count then happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful and of tender mercy.

Psalm 139:1-5  O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

2 THOU knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, THOU understandest my thought afar off.

3 THOU compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, THOU knowest it altogether. 

5 THOU hast beset me behind and before, and laid THINE hand upon me.

 

(Comments from Barbara Preston)  God's presence is everywhere all of the time!

Proverbs 16:20  He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.
