Water

Because of your great compassion you did not abandon them in the wilderness. By day the pillar of cloud did not fail to guide them on their path, nor the pillar of fire by night to shine on the way they were to take. You gave your good Spirit to instruct them. You did not withhold your manna from their mouths, and you gave them water for their thirst. 

Nehemiah 9:19-20

Blessing

And as you have been a byword of cursing among the nations, 

O house of Judah and house of Israel, 

so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. 

Fear not, but let your hands be strong.

Zechariah 8:13

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers and sisters, 

whatever is true, 

whatever is noble, 

whatever is right, 

whatever is pure, 

whatever is lovely, 

whatever is admirable

-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-

think about such things.

Pure

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, 

gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, 

impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness 

is sown in peace by those who make peace.

James 3:17-18 ESV

Beauty

What left a mark

no longer stings

because grace makes beauty

out of ugly things.

Hebrews 8:11

None of them shall teach his neighbor, 

and none his brother, saying, 

‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, 

from the least of them to the greatest of them.

Pillar

And when the cloud 

was taken up from 

over the tabernacle, 

the children of Israel 

went onward in 

all their journeys: 

But if the cloud were 

not taken up, then they 

journeyed not till the day 

that it was taken up. 

For the cloud of the Lord 

was upon the tabernacle by 

day, and fire was on it by 

night, in the sight of all 

the house of Israel, 

throughout all their journeys.

Exodus 40:36-38  KJV

Philippians 4:4-9

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.
