‘Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. ‘ Romans 12:1-2

‘“To whom then will you liken Me That I would be his equal?” says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high And see who has created these stars, The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, Not one of them is missing. Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the L ord , And the justice due me escapes the notice of my God”? He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly, Yet those who wait for the L ord Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the L ord , the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. ‘ Isaiah 40:25-31
