Our Only Hope

 “Find rest in God,

my hope comes from him.”

Psalms 62:5

Psalm 62 offers comfort, hope to those facing despair.  The psalmist reminds us to put our trust in God alone and have faith that He will provide in due time.  Be encouraged as you patiently wait for Him to bring peace in your circumstances.  Let no matter what life throws at you, God is the only trustworthy source of help and trust.”

Wine Time

                                        

 “Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink

your wine with a merry heart,

 for God has already approved what you do.”

Ecclesiastes 9:7

“This verse does not mean permission to sin, instead it means that when you live a faithful life, you are free to receive and enjoy daily provisions - like food, drink, and rest - without constant guilt or anxious striving.

God Is Good…All The Time

 “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

his love endures forever.”

Psalm 107:1

“God’s goodness conveys His generosity.  His goodness means far more than His generosity, but it certainly includes His infinitely generous attitude toward us.  By nature, He longs to bring joy and blessing to all.”

~ David Jeremiah

Confidence in Prayer

“This is the confidence we have in 

approaching God that if we ask anything 

according to his will, he hears us.”

1 John 5:14

“Ask and it will be given to you, seek

and you will find; knock and the door

will be opened to you.”

Matthew 7:7

“Throughout scripture, we are encouraged to pray while trusting the Heavenly Father.  And in Philippians 4:6, Paul urges us to respond to anxiety in this way.  Pray about everything.”

God’s Peace

 “And the peace of God, which transcends

all understanding, will guard your hearts and 

your minds in Jesus Christ.”

Philippians 4:7

“To understand peace, this verse is beyond understanding.  A peace so deep and powerful that it does not make logical sense given your difficult situation.  God’s peace stands watch over your emotions and thoughts to block fear, doubt and anxiety.  Peace is God himself.”

                                                       “Let Him be your peace today.”

Living In God’s Presence

 “In your presence there is fullness of joy.”

Psalm 16:11

“Living in God’s presence means maintaining a constant, conscious awareness of Him throughout your daily life. You can know you are in God’s presence through a deep inner peace, a strong pull to love and forgive others, and a quiet stillness in your heart.  God is always near, but recognizing His nearness often feels like an awakening in your spirit and sudden urge to pray, thank God or sing.

To focus on His presence turn off noise and distractions to listen in the silence.  Read scripture to remind your mind of God’s character and where you felt a moment of peace or goodness during your day.

Remember that God is always with you!!!

Words Matter

 “Therefore encourage one another 

and build up one another.”

1 Thessalonians 5:11

“Think back to the last time someone encouraged you.  Can you still fill how it lifted your spirit?  Paul understood the power of a reassuring word.  He was reminding one another that it really mattered that much.

You may pass by someone today who needs encouragement.  Don’t worry about saying the right thing; God will give you the words.
