"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory." Col. 3:1-4.

"But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with the wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Isa. 40:31
