Last Thursday I was reading in Psalm 37, verses 5 through 9 and found it such an encouragement for my particular situation. Maybe it will be a blessing to someone else as well.
"Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.
"And He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
"Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
"Cease from anger and forsake wrath; fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
"For evildoers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth."
I found these to be very encouraging verses in light of many of the things I'm currently dealing with in my life. I can ...
* commit it all to the Lord
* trust in Him
*rest in Him
* wait patiently for Him
* refrain from fretting about anything
* cease from anger
* forsake wrath
.. because God will bring it to pass. He will give clear guidance and direction and will enable me to keep a shining testimony through it all.
I'm encouraged. I hope that you are too!
what a graceful spirit you are my friend!
ReplyDeletejust like you since years i do my my morning recitatins after hubby and kids leave for office and school.
i find it soul blooming and and very meditative .
each book of God leads to the truth of life and reveals the divine eternity through love of Creator just like each river flows towards the ocean and falls into it to be one divine true source of inspiration
DeleteI enjoyed your lovely, thoughtful comments, Baili. Thanks for visiting and sharing.
Those are encouraging words. One of our pastors calls the Psalms Happy Meals. If you do not have time to chew on God's Word, head to the Psalms. He is right...they are very nourishing and uplifting.
ReplyDeleteHappy meals ... that's a good general description! I suppose the same could be said of Proverbs.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this beautiful post, my friend. Ah, the blessing and joy of reading God's Word....such sweet encouragement! Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about God's Word being a refreshment. We've been traveling through the night and I haven't had my quiet time yet. Really missing that.😯
