Colossians 1:16 (NKJV)

For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.  All things were created through Him and for Him.

NLT:  For through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth.  He made the things we can see and things we can’t see—such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.  Everything was created through him and for him.

1 Kings 19:12 (NKJV)

And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

NLT:  And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire.  And after the fire there was the sound of gentle whisper.

Psalm 5:3

In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.

NLT:  Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord.  Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.
