Scripture Word for Advent

Agree with God, and be at peace,
Thereby good will come to you.
Receive instruction, from his mouth,
And lay up his words in your heart.
If you return to the Almighty and Humble yourself,
If you remove unrighteousness far From your tents,
If you lay gold in the dust,
And gold of Ophir among the stones Of the torrent bed,
And if the Almighty is your gold, And your precious silver;
Then you will delight in the Almighty,
And lift up your face to God.
You will make your prayer to Him,
And he will hear you;
And you will pay your vows.
You will decide on a matter, and it Will be established for you,
And light will shine on our ways.
Book of Job 22: 21-28
