2 Sam 22:50-51 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
KJV

Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
KJV
It is very easy to get caught up in things that simply do not matter and so the Bible tells us to avoid them, they lead only to an empty end. A preacher from the past once said “Our days are few, and are far better spent in doing good, than in disputing over matters which are, at […] -

24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
KJV
A portion is an amount and is defined as a part of a whole. Notice then what the prophet stated in verse twenty four, that the “Lord is my portion.” Not the Lord is part of […] -

1 Peter 1:7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
