100 Days of Scriptures of Encouragement: Day 100

Psalm 46:1

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

It's been a fun 100 days and I've learned a lot. This is a perfect verse to end on. Nothing needs more to be said.

HE'S OUR REFUGE AND OUR STRENGTH AND HELP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE.

Why? Because He loves you! Trust in Him and you can't go wrong. Let Him lead you and guide you into a special place in Him. Embrace your troubles and brake free into the other side.

You are loved. He has died for you. He gave His word just for you. Live, breath it, and abide in it, and who knows, I just might be your neighbor in eternity!

God Bless.

100 Days of Scriptures of Encouragement: Day 99

Psalm 9:9

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

He doesn't forget you. He see's your trouble. He's provided a way out. Take it, read it, brand it into your heart. Trust in it. Rely upon it, and rest in knowing He's all your ever going to need.

No one else on the face of this earth knows what your going through, how you feel, or what you've been through because He has seen your who life pass before Him. He doesn't sleep. He never rest. He's always working things out for your benefit.

He loves you! He's name is the Most High. He's the King of King and Lord of Lords. He's the soon coming King, He's the Messiah. He's the conquerer. He's your guide. He's the Alpha and the Omega. He's the Lover of your soul.

He's Jesus. The Son of God who die just for you. He looked ahead into your future and said, "Lay the burdens on me, Father." He did it all. He loves You!

He'll be your refuge. Test Him and see.

God Bless.

100 Days of Scriptures of Encouragement: Day 98

Isaiah 51:12

I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;

Thank You, Father, for You willingness to comfort me. Thank You Father for everything and that I shall be in eternity with You.

Thank You, Father, that I don't fully understand what You are trying to say in this scripture that You will give each person their own interpertation of what You want to tell them in these words.

Bless them, Father, as they read this encouragement day. Remind them that You haven't given them a spirit of fear and remind them of the hope they have in You as they trust in You to bring them through to the other side.

Amen,

God Bless.

100 Days of Scriptures of Encouragement: Day 97

Romans 12:3

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Thank heaven your not God. Better yet, thank heaven's I'm not God. Thank heaven's God is God and He spreads out His grace to reach every last sinner.

Thank Heaven's God is paitent and He doesn't get upset because not everyone is a Kenneth Copeland or a Benny Hinn.

Thank heavens He is willing to meet me and guide me and draw me to Him where I'm at.

Do I long for a greater walk and a higher faith in Him? Of course. I press on towards the mark of my high calling and I work out my own salvation with fear and trembling. If I'm doing that for myself, I don't have time to judge you and if your doing what your suppose to be doing then you don't have time to judge me.

I don't want your trails and tribulations, and you sure as heck don't want mine for they are a handful. I'm not out to make it appear I know or think I'm better than you, I, just like you, is trying (not so good grammer) to just make it and get through my time on earth. (By the way, I'm being raptured. I don't know about you.)

Yeah, I'm no miss know it all, but what I do know is your my brother, or sister, and together, we can agree to move mountains and reap the benefits of eternity with our Savior.

God Bless.

100 Days of Scriptures of Encouragement: Day 96

Proverbs 15:3

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

Have you ever thought about how it is possible for Go to see every thing that happens in the world whether it be good or bad?

Because He's all onimotent and He never sleeps or slumpers. Wow, I have a hard time keeping my eyes awake to read my bible and to think God never sleeps and He sees all? Amazing.

It's also amazing how I know this and still do the things I do. After all, God's watching and a cloud of witnesses are watching my ever move too. Its scary how I can pass that thought from my mind. It's even scarier how those thoughts never cross my mind until I've done something I know not to do.

If I really blieved the bible like I do, than I should be aware of His presence in my life at at times. But I'm human, living in this fleshy body who wants its own way and throws a fit when the spiritual man arises within me.

Yep, God sees everything good and evil and strangely that's comforting to me. If He sees the bad, then He sees the good and He sees where I am at in life and what my needs are. More importantly, He sees my heart.

He sees a heart that longs to abide in Him day in and day out, every moment and second of the day. He sees my hurts and the pain words have caused me and the evil that has come my way from satan and his dimionions as well as from people who say they love me.

Indeed, He is the God who takes note of the good and the evil in this world and He's even more concerned about a girl in a small town in Ohio who struggles with life and her sins but yet crys out, "have mercy on me, Father, for I have sinned." And the amazing part is, He sees you right where you at and still calls you by name and commands the angels to protect us and sends the Holy Spirit to lead us into a right relationship with the God of the universe.

God Bless.

100 Days of Scriptures of Encouragement: Day 95

Job 42:2

I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.

Thank heavens He never withholds any good thing for me. It's there for the taken only I have to be willing to take it.

Thank heavens He's the God that can do anything and everything and longs for me to experience the supernatural.

Yes, indeed, nothings withheld en from me from the God who can do anything, I just need to get into the word and let it sink into my heart and let the word brand me with His goodness.

It's an every day relationship with Him just not some days when I feel like it. I'm going to get it together, I've made such progress now, why do I feel the need to stop? Because life gets in my way. Trails and tribulations are around every corner I take.

But thank God, I'm not where I've been in the past and I'm closer in the present, and forever loved by a God who gives out mercies and grace every morning who eagerly waits for me to take my place in Christ and for me to believe He's a good God and everything He owns, I can stake claim in.

Yes, thank heavens He's God and I'm me, a work in progress in knowing that He's a good God and He holds nothing good back from me and He can do so much more than what I can think or dream.

Indeed, God is good...all the time.

God Bless.

100 Days of Scriptures of Encouragement: Day 94

Proverbs 14:26

In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

Do you long for a place of refuge? Are you one of His children? Do you fear the Lord in respect of reverencing Him? To you place Him higher than ESPN or the Kardashians?

Do you love Him? Do you call Him your beloved and does He call you His own? Do you tell Him, where You send me I will go?

Do you ask Him to be your Shepard? Do you think of Him as your provider? Do you think of Him as the great I AM?

If you do, then take your place under the shadow of His wing as you allow Him to protect you, guide you, and lead your everyday path.

Walk strong and tall and never loose the fact of who you belong to. Your a chosen vessel being molded into a great treasure and He loves you.

Great is His faithfulness as you walk with Him and as You grow so close to Him. Remember to build yourself in Christ, walk in love, and enjoy the journey as you travel along together working out your salvation.

See ya on the other side where His idea of refuge is for an eternity with Him as the Head of home, tears are no longer needed, and the things of this world will be strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.

God Bless.

100 Days of Scriptures of Encouragement: Day 93

Psalm 2:12

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

As we wrap this up these final days up with the scriptures of encouragement, I think I can honestly say it all boils down to whether or not you trust Him or not.

Are you going to trust Him in the good times as well as in the bad?

Are you going to believe you haven't done anything to make Him angry at you?

Are you going to believe that God isn't mad at you but at the devil for all the times he's came and stolen from you?

Are you going to trust God to make Satan return it until you 70 folds more?

Are you going to believe and trust what God says in His word?

Are you going to believe what He's spoken thousands of years ago still apply to your life?

Are you going to believe and trust that God loves you?

Are you going to trust God that He will never leave you or forsake you?

Are you going to trust God that He will be your Shepard?

Are you going to trust God to lead you down the path He has for you?

Are you going to trust God when He speaks to you and says do this even when it looks like you are going to end up looking crazy?

Are you going to TRUST HIM LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDED UPON IT? BECAUSE SOONER OR LATER, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CHOOSE WHOM YOUR GOING TO SERVE THIS DAY AND IN THE DAYS AHEAD.

God Bless.
