Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord

 7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
 - Jeremiah 17

Hear ye the word of the Lord

When we don't take time to hear the word of the Lord, we risk forsaking God, the fountain of living water.

Hear ye the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee

We are children of a loving Heavenly Father who knows us.  Coming to earth is part of His plan for our eternal progression and happiness.

Neither hath the eye seen

Where can we glimpse the majesty of what God offers us?  Where can we gain an eternal perspective and think celestial?

For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
 - Isaiah 64:4

The Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings

Jesus read these verses in Nazareth and said, "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears" (Luke 4:16–21):

 1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn
 - Isaiah 61

Is not this the fast that I have chosen?

I am grateful for the blessings of the fast including a closer relationship with the Lord.

 6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
 7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
 9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am.
 - Isaiah 58:6-7,9

I dwell in the high and holy place

Humility and a contrite heart enable us to be in the Lord's presence.

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit
 - Isaiah 57:15

As the rain cometh down

As I listen to general conference talks and study Come, Follow Me, I find the Lord's word enriching my heart and mind.  I'm so grateful that the heavens are open!

 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Publisheth peace

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him

that publisheth peace;
that bringeth good tidings of good,
that publisheth salvation;
that saith unto Zion,
Thy God reigneth!
 - Isaiah 52:7
