Exodus 15:20-21 Then Miriam the prophetess,

Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and

all the women followed her, with tambourines and dancing.

21 Miriam sang to them:“Sing to the Lord, for he is highly

exalted.The horse and its rider he has

hurled into the sea.”

Exodus 15:22-24 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the

Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without

finding water. 23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink its

water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah.)

24 So the people grumbled against Moses, saying,

“What are we to drink?”

Exodus 15:25Then Moses cried out to the Lord,

and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water,

and the water became sweet.There the Lord made a decree and

a law for them, and there he tested them.

Exodus 15:26He said, “If you listen carefully to

the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his

commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any

of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians,

for I am the Lord, who heals you.”

Exodus 15:27 Then they came to Elim,

where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they

camped there near the water.

Joel 2:25-27“I will repay you for the years the

locusts have eatenthe great locust and the young

locust,the other locusts and the locust

swarm—my great army that I sent among

you.

26 You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,

and you will praise the name of the Lord your God,

who has worked wonders for you;never again will my people be

shamed.27 Then you will know that I am in

Israel,that I am the Lord your God, and

that there is no other;never again will my people be

shamed.

Revelation 21:1-5 Then I saw “a new heaven and a

new earth,” for the first heaven and the first

earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the

Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for

her husband.

3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,

“Now the dwelling of God is with men,

and he will live with them. They will be his people,

and God himself will be with them and be their God.

4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes.

There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the

old order of things has passed away.”

5 He who was seated on the throne said,

“I am making everything new!” Then he said,

“Write this down, for these words are trustworthy

and true.”

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ

and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now

live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,

who loved me and gave himself for me.
