~ Habakkuk 2:3 ~
For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.
This verse instills so much hope in me. Not just in knowing the Lord will return, but in knowing that He will fulfill His promises to us until that day comes. All we need do is trust and wait on His timing.

In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered thru your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].

Put on God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and deceits of the devil.

For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.

Ephesians 6:10-12 Amp.


Felt the Lord gave this to me in a fresh way yesterday... After losing a dearly loved pet...thru the tears and joys of knowing this little fellow. God's Word and His promises and the stedfastness of His character still shines thru. Being able to fasten unto His strength thru His Spirit and knowing the Truth...really does anchor my soul.
I have been thru deeper valleys, but have not been able to see the Lord as clearly as I do now. Yet the Truth of who He is and the wisdom He provides to us thru His Word has always been there...and has brought me this far. [whether I could see Him or not]
I do believe it is preparation to face and live thru successfully what is to come.

For those struggling with depression...my emotions did not swallow me up like they used too. I could feel them...go thru them and still see the Lord.

Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows;

Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.

But He was wounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities;

The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,

And by His stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray;

We have turned,

every one,

to his own way;

And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.


Isaiah 53:4-6

Romans 8:28 ~ And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

I don't understand how the Lord works sometimes. Most times, I have to ask Him to show me the lesson He'd have me learn in various situations. Sometimes I see clearly, other times ... not. One thing I know though, through it all, He does not grow impatient with me. He does not stop loving me, and He will not stop working out every situation in my life .. for my good. He turns even the worst looking situation around so that I learn and grow and draw nearer to Him through it. Blessed is His name!

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness! {Psalm 48:1} :bow:

Thank you to everyone who has been posting verses, they're all great. Here is my favourite verse; one that I think of whenever I'm feeling a bit down or distressed about something.

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day." (2 Corinthians 4:16)

This one reminds me of the joy that God places in our hearts that pours out amidst our thanksgiving and praise, and overflows onto others and blesses them simultaneously as we are blessed.....

what a picture, huh? There's a feast. A celebration. Joy is abounding. Can you picture that?

~ Philippians 3:7-9 ~
But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him ...
When I came back to the Lord in '97, a whoooole lot of things changed - dramatically, not slow and easy! :help: Within a 6 month period, I lost family, friends, home, income, etc., as the Lord started house cleaning. Some things were more devastating at the time then others, but I just stood back and watched ... and trusted. :prayer:

Every time I look back now, I know He answered my heart's cry for Him, and the loss of friendships or material mean nothing. I have gained so much more through knowing Him, and growing in His grace and knowledge. There is nothing, absolutely nothing to compare to the knowledge of His love and the peace and joy I have in living for Christ.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

Romans :18-19


We have a glorious future coming saints.... :clap:

~ Ephesians 2:10 ~
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Amen to that! :clap:

Isn't it an awesome reality to know that the God of all creation created the intricate being that is us? Each one of us unique and deeply loved by Him. Not only that, but in creating us, and knowing us fully, He also prepared our live's work before we even came into being, thus creating the particular personality and gifts that we would need to accomplish His will. Bless Him for His wonderful workmanship!

Matthew 28

Verses 5-7:
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee.
There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”


Verses 19-20:
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Psalms 34:11-14
Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.



Proverbs 9:9-10
Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Psalms 35

Verses 1-2:
Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me.
Take up shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid.

Verses 9-10:
Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and delight in his salvation.
My whole being will exclaim, "Who is like you, O LORD ?
You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them.

~ Proverbs 30:2-4 ~

"I am the most ignorant of men;​
I do not have a man's understanding.​

Who has gone up to heaven and come down?​
Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands?​
Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak?​
Who has established all the ends of the earth?​
What is his name, and the name of his son? Tell me if you know!​

I have not learned wisdom,​
nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.​

Now its looking like a song to me. I can remember easier when I've put a tune to it and sing.

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.
And who is the one who overcomes the world,
but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.
