TODAY'S WORD FOR US: BE OF GOOD CHEER!
Let us remain steadfast in our faith!
Here are scriptures of comfort and encouragement for those experiencing trials of their faith today. Whether wildfires, floods, extreme heat waves, dust storms, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, approaching hurricanes, droughts, physical challenges, cold water showers, etc., God is still on His Throne, and is able and is willing to help us!
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD. Is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
It has been 3 days since our condo's hot water system broke down, so we have had only cold water showers. Last night water was discovered in the elevator pit, and the water was completely turned off, as well as one of the two elevators in order to pump the water out. Water was turned on later and we all saved water for today when plumbers will come to fix the water heaters and look for the broken pipe that is leaking water into the elevator pit. So the water will be turned off again.
Postscript: \o/ Praise the Lord! We're hooked up again to our water supply with HOT water- less than 2 hours after this post went out! Going to do some laundry and turn on the dishwasher now! GOD IS GOOD!
TRUST GOD TODAY; Today is the day of salvation. Jesus came to save us from our sins. He is our Savior and Redeemer and Soon Coming King!
Mary was blessed because of what God did for her (chose her to be the mother of our Lord Jesus) AND because of her faith response to Him (she believed). Both go hand in hand.
We all love to have God's blessings, but if they don't develop faith in us, what is the point?
God's blessings in our lives are meant to prompt and to grow our faith. Unbelievers see God's blessings in their lives and are challenged to put their faith in Him for salvation. And Believers experiencing God's blessings are challenged to trust Him even more.
