My Encouragement For Today

I love God’s Word and how it brings me comfort, strength, assurance and reminders of His love and care for me! These are some of His words that spoke to my heart this morning.

You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth You will bring me up again. You will increase my greatness and comfort me again. Psalm 71:20-21

The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. Psalm 138:8

The Lord God is my strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds’ feet and will make me to walk (not to stand still in terror, but to walk) and make (spiritual) progress upon my high places (of trouble, suffering, or responsibility)! Habakkuk 3:19 (amp)

I pray that if you are going through a difficult time in your life, that you will also find comfort and strength in these verses. The days are hard, but God is good…..always.

Trusting His Plan,
Sandra, Katie, Emilie and Jacob

    Encouraging words. Our pastor spoke on “Audacious Faith” yesterday and related Joshua commanding the sun to stand still with our challenging Gods promises in His word. God wants us to have faith and challenge Him to do what He has promised. But we must have the faith to believe it! Whether it’s losing a loved one or health issues or job or other circumstance in our life; faith is important to our daily life! Thank you for sharing these verses! Praying for you.

    Seeing God’s Word and work in action is an encouragement to us all Sandra. I know these days are hard, maybe even bitter hard. The hurt must run deep. Reading the words you have found in scripture is evidence that God is with you and His word runs deeper. His grace is sufficient. His comfort is real. If anyone ever doubts that, I will refer them to your blog. Still praying for everyone.
