Cast them onto Him

“Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7

He Has Overcome!

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

Boast In Christ

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

He Never Leaves

“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’” Hebrews 13:5

Have Faith

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1

We Are His

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

We Are Healed!!!

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5

HE Is Greater

“Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4

Giving

“Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,  so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” Matthew 5:42-45

Do His Will

“Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!”
Psalms 143:10

Fear Not

“fear not, for I am with you;  be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you,  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

He Is There

“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” Matthew 18:20

I love thinking of this verse that when we are together in His name, He is there among us.

A Challenge For You Readers

Justin and I had gotten out of reading the bible for a while I hate to say.  There was a time when every night we would read the bible and a devotional book and then pray together, and somehow we got out of that habit and before we knew it, a few months had gone by without us doing this.  Matter of fact a few months had gone by without us even opening our bibles at all other than a church.

Isn’t it funny how it seems to work out that way, we wouldn’t go without so many things for that long ever, but, the one thing that we need that will make an eternal difference and we don’t pick it up.  Justin was telling me one day a few weeks ago now about preaching he heard on the radio and then again I’m sure it wasn’t by coincidence our preacher told about a similar scenario of how what if a very important person, someone who was very major to us, a political figure, a well-known pastor anyone like that had a letter for us just for us, we couldn’t wait to go and read it we wouldn’t be able to focus on anything else until we read that letter.  That’s exactly what God has given to us through His word.  He wrote a letter just for us, to get us through anything in this life and yet we don’t pick it up every single day and read it.

So, on with the challenge, we have now been reading our bibles daily, sometimes multiple times per day and it has been such a blessing I feel so much closer to God and I am learning so much more that I didn’t even know before (isn’t it neat how the bible is like that you can always get something different from it).  I want to challenge you to pick up your bible and read it every single day even if you only have 5 minutes, give that 5 minutes to the Lord and read His word, you will be glad you did.  It doesn’t matter where you start, we just picked our bibles up and started from the very beginning some people like to start by reading the gospels or, if you just want to pick somewhere and start to read, do that but whatever you do just make sure you get to it everyday whenever you can.

As the children’s song goes: Read your bible and pray everyday and you’ll grow, grow, grow!

 Let us know if you will take us up on our challenge, just comment below!! 

 

Jesus Is The Only Way

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'” John 14:6

Guide Your Friends Toward Christ

“One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.” Proverbs 12:26

Be sure that you guide others to Christ, and do not lead them away from Him.

I Am NOT Ashamed!

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.”  Romans 1:16

I love this verse, this verse really got it’s full meaning to me when my husband and I started listening to a Christian musician Lecrae who had a song called unashamed, we love this artist, and it’s probably not the music genre you would think I would listen to, but it’s Christian rap and we love it but the song is amazing and it truly does show why we shouldn’t be ashamed of the gospel!!

If you are interested in hearing the song, here’s a link to one of the song I’m talking about on youtube:
