Here is a bit of what I read for encouragement today. Maybe you'll find some encouragement in it too?
God never changes. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Hebrews 13:8 (NIV)
"He is the everlasting God. "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." Matthew 24:35 (NIV)
"Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:28-31 (KJV)
These are just words of encouragement to hopefully help you through your day. There are times when it seems like God is not there. However, take heart, God is always with you. He may be silent, but he is there.
"The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8 (NIV)
When the storms of life come, we tend to wonder where God is and ask why He is not answering our prayers? Perhaps He is, just possible not the wait we expect nor in the time frame we want.
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”Psalm 46:10 (NIV)
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12 (NIV)
God instructs us to be patient, remain hopeful and keep praying. Our time is not His time
"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." 2 Peter 3:8 (NIV)
He knows you better than you know yourself. He knows what you need and the desires of your heart. Rest assured that God loves you and He has your best interest at heart. Be patient. Wait on the Lord, the everlasting God. Be at peace. Let your strength renew.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

Thank you. It's so vital to hear these Scriptures and know them in everyday life, not just in trials only. The Word of the Lord is my comfort and my strength. Like a deer pants for water, is my thirst for His Word and promises today. Thank you so much for sharing. Believe in Him, love Him, adhere to Him like glue through these "bumps".... He is there. -Crystal B.
