Here
are 5 verses that always lift my heart. I pray they do the same for you.
(1) When
I feel discouraged or afraid, this verse reminds me that I can be strong and
that God is with me:
Then David continued, “Be strong and courageous,
and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He
will not fail you or forsake you.”
(1 Chronicles
28:20)
(2) This is my hybrid choice of verses from Psalm
139. Every single time I read this little compilation my heart is comforted. I
hope you feel the same:
You chart the path ahead of me (vs 3a). You place
Your hand of blessing on my head (vs 5b). Your strength will support me (vs
10b). (Psalm 139)
(3) This verse reminds me of my Source, and that God
gives me His power when I feel too weak to carry on. Actually, Isaiah 40 from
verse 28-31 is fantastic:
He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.
(Isaiah 40:29)
(4) This
verse reminds me to keep my hope and confidence in Christ alone…and I will be
blessed:
But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and
have made the Lord their
hope and confidence. (Jeremiah 17:7)
(5) And finally, this verse helps me maintain eternal
perspective. It reminds me that my trials and the difficulties I face are
actually achieving something beautiful and everlasting in and for me:
For our light, momentary affliction (this slight
distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure,
excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and
transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!] (2 Corinthians
4:17) (AMPC)
Praying God uses His Word to encourage your heart this week!

Thank you for the reminder of these verses. :-)
This devotion was written just for me and this time. I had made a hasty decision and was not still before my God. this is my gentle reminder that He is in the waiting.
