August 5 - Psalm 119:130; John 14:1

The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.
Psalm 119:130 NIV

Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.

John 14:1 NLT

August 4 - Jeremiah 33:2-3;2; Corinthians 4:17

“This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it—the Lord is his name: ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’
Jeremiah 33:2-3 NIV

For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!

2 Corinthians 4:17 NLT

Give thanks in all circumstances

http://bible.com/111/1th5.16-18 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

What a verse. Right now, this has become one of my life verses.
Circumstances happen whether internally or externally cause they will happen. The question is how will we respond to them.
I can honestly say that is not always easy to.rejoice in them. I have learned that whatever the circumstances the best way to get through it is to pray.

Have a blessed day

Confession

http://bible.com/111/1jn1.9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

This yesterday and today has been interesting in the passages of scripture.
To today. If we confess. Now in those three words. Confess is us doing. Then then the rest is the Lord forgiving.
We the unrighteous have a harder time forgiving. I am not sure why that is. In the new testament is says that we need to imitate Christ then we should be able to forgive when someone repentant and asks forgiveness.
I understand in away because in Eph 6 it states that we are in a battle not of flesh and blood but of the spirit. To forgive is to change us/me and the forgiven to change. Just thinking this is where freedom happens and relationships are restored.

* sorry for the grammatical errors just flowing with a thought.

Set me free

http://bible.com/111/rom8.2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

Have you thought why in the world that sin continues to knock at our life's door because we never give it all to him. Give it to him and experience really freedom

He loved us first

http://bible.com/111/1jn4.10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Wow. When you take this verse into consideration that he loves so much that he gave his son for us. He has forgiven us. He loves US. And has mercy on us.

Present suffering

http://bible.com/111/rom8.18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

Consider or think about what you are going through cannot even compare to the glory of God.

Look at what your going through right now Can compare to the Glory.
Have a blessed day
