Zechariah 8:23c “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”

Zechariah 4:10a For who has despised the day of small things?

Ezra 3:1‑3 And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem. 2 Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brethren, arose and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God. 3 Though fear had come upon them because of the people of those countries, they set the altar on its bases; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the Lord, both the morning and evening burnt offerings.

Matthew 7:1 “Judge not, that you be not judged." 

Matthew 6:24 "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." 

Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."  

Matthew 5:13‑16 ""You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men." 14 ""You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden." 15 ""Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house." 16 ""Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
