Key verses

He is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing as he runs his course.

Psalm 19:5

Then he said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind that tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks preceded the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.

1 Kings 19:11-12

Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, the wells the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them.

Genesis 26:18
