Today, I’ve been thinking back about some of the scriptures
that were shared with me in various forms throughout the past 7 weeks (it’s
hard to think that I would almost be 28 weeks pregnant now- I miss being
pregnant a lot). These are just a few of these scriptures.It was so encouraging to re-read them back over time and time again and I know over the coming
months and years, I will be able to stand on God’s Word for strength. I pray
they might offer you some comfort in your current life circumstances too.
Isaiah 61
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,3 and provide for those who
grieve in Zion-- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of
ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will
be called mighty oaks, a planting of the LORD for the display of
his splendor.
Psalm 63
A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.
1 You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land where there is no water.
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
4 I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6 On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8 I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.
James 1
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,
whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because
you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be
mature and complete, not lacking anything.
12 Blessed are those who persevere under trial,
because when they have stood the test, they will receive the crown of life that
God has promised to those who love him.
I have another to add if I may??
ReplyDeletePsalm 30:5
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning"
Sorrows last but a moment, but God's glory is eternal!
I love you with all my heart. xxxx
