“The Lord Himself watched over you. Psalm 121:5

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:25-26”

God stands by every single Word He has said. Trust in Him, build your life on His Word – even when times get tough – His truth remains so stand on that.

Through faith in JESUS Christ we are given a spirit of power, love and discipline, and for that reason we have nothing to fear. We can hold onto his promises and be confident that he’ll see us through even the darkest of days.

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. Matthew 6:24

The Lord is also our source of strength even when we feel overwhelmed by the trials and difficulties that we face.

Nahum 1:7 “The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.” “God is good all the time. All the time God is good.” Haven’t we all said these affirmations before, as we declare God’s faithfulness? I have said this many times, and I believe it with all of my heart. In our lives we will have trouble, but we also know that we can go to the Lord for protection and comfort. He knows us intimately, and he still loves and cares for us very much. Because he is so good, we can take refuge in him.

Isaiah 40:31 “…but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” This is a very well-known verse, as it brings much prophetic hope to us during tough times. It is also a reminder that when we wait for God to show up in our circumstances, that he will then renew our strength. All we have to do is wait on him, and he will lift us up like the eagles who fly above the storm clouds and the winds. How encouraging it is to know that with God’s help we will not grow weary or faint. We will be able to walk and run again to face life’s challenges.

Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” It is so encouraging for me to know that when difficulties come my way, the Lord is my refuge and my strength. I can run to his arms for comfort and safety at all times, as he is always there for me. The phrase “very present” brings peace as well, because we don’t have to wait our turn to go to him. God is always there for us when we need him.

Thessalonians 5: 17 Pray without ceasing. The grace of our LORD JESUS Christ be with you. Amen.

Only in JESUS Christ are real unity and joy 😂 possible.
