[acts chapter five]:
33When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to put them to death. 34But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. 35Then he addressed them: "Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. 36Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. 37After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God."
40His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. 42Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.[b]

>psalm 25: "...show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long..."
>psalm 62:5-8 : Find rest, o my sould, in God alone; my hope comes form him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, i will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, o people; pour our your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
>psalm 51:10-12: Create in me a pure heart, o God. and renew a steadfast spirit w/in me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
>psalm 139:1-4: O lord, you have searched me and you know me. you know when i sit and when i rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. you discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, o Lord.
>139:7-10 : where can i go from your spirit? where can i flee from your presence? if i go up to the heavens, you are there; if i make my bed in the depths, you are there. if i rise on the wings of dawn, if i settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
>139:17/18: how precious to me are your thoughts, o God! how vast is the sum of them! were i to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. when i awake, i am still w/you.
