Trust in the Lord

Isaiah 26 4.jpg

 

Verse of the Day: Isaiah 26:4

Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.

 

Building trust takes time.  The more you get to know God, the more your trust in Him will grow.  When you truly trust in God you will experience the perfect peace that comes from knowing that God is in control. Worrying doesn’t change a thing.  Instead, focus on getting to know God and let of go of worry and let God have His way in your life.

Pray Together

Matthew 18 20 (2)

 

Verse of the Day:  Matthew 18:20

For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.

 

What a blessing it is to be able to pray for and with your sisters in Christ.  Calling upon a friend and ask them to pray in unity with you to collectively make your request known to the Father helps you to build stronger relationships with each other and with God. Get a prayer group going among your friends and reap the benefits of praying together.

Be an Encourager 

1 Thessalonians 5 11

 

Verse of the Day: 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Therefore, encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

 

We may not be able to solve everyone’s problems but we sure can be an encouragement to everyone by spreading hope. Share the love of God, pray with each other and for each other. Use your words to build each other up not tear each other down. Be a friend and a blessing to those in need (we are all in need).

Knowing Christ

Philippians 3 10.jpg

 

Verse of the Day:  Philippians 3:10

I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death

 

There is a difference in knowing about someone and knowing someone and there is a difference between knowing what someone does and knowing who someone is. You may have known about Jesus all your life but until you seek Him with all of your heart you won’t really know Him as your personal Savior. You won’t have a personal relationship with Him until you start spending time with Him.  The more time you spend with Him the more you will become like Him.  You have a friend in Jesus, start getting to really know Him.

Bad Influences

Proverbs 22 24-25

 

Verse of the Day:  Proverbs 22:24-25

Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person, do not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn their ways and get yourself ensnared.

 

It’s clear that our friendships can have an influence on us, either for good or bad.  It’s important to choose the people who are close to us wisely.  Choose godly friends that will be a positive influence in your life instead of people who can’t control their anger with whom you may eventually find yourself in a bad situation.  A bad temper is contagious.

Choosing Friends

Proverbs 12 26 2.jpg

 

Verse of the Day: Proverbs 12:26

The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

 

Choosing the right kind of friends is actually a big deal because whether you realize it or not, you become like the people you spend the most time with. Surround yourself with people who encourage you and make a positive impact in your life. Your friends should inspire and motivate you to do good and be a better person. Choose your friends wisely and strive to be a good friend too.

A Wise Woman

Proverbs 14 1.jpg

Verse of the Day: Proverbs 14:1

The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.

A wise woman builds her house established on God’s Word and with God as the foundation. She cares for her family, she encourages them and she leads by example by being an honorable and virtuous woman of God.

Sing Praises

Psalm 30 4

 

Verse of the Day: Psalm 30:4

Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people; praise his holy name.

 

Have you ever noticed that no matter what is going on in your life singing praises to the Lord always makes you feel better?  Yes, we are singing to Him but in return we are overcome with God’s presence and overwhelming peace and joy.  Make singing praises to God a part of your day and you will definitely start to see a change in your mindset and attitude.

You Are Not Alone

2 Timothy 4 17

 

Verse of the Day:  2 Timothy 4:17

But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength

 

Doing the will of God can at times be lonely road.  Not everyone will understand or support what you are doing.  That’s why it’s important to surround yourself with likeminded people. Even so, there may be times when you still feel alone and it may feel like everyone has deserted you. In these moments you must remember that you are not alone. The Lord is with you, He is on your side and He will give you the strength to carry out His plan.
