June 6, 2017August 29, 2017

Today I’m so excited to be hosting my first guest post! I asked my real life best friend, Joyce to share with you guys scriptures of encouragement. Be sure to check out her blog ‘My Liron’ and without further ado I hope you guys enjoy…

Hey guys, It’s Joyce here from My Liron! Today my best friend Grace asked me to do a guest post on her blog! I am super excited about it and hope you guys like and find encouragement from the words that I have to share.

I know for me personally God is taking my family through a time of refining and I think sometimes the biggest mistake we can make is to think that God is not still sovereign and in control of everything. And literally I mean everything so take a moment to think about it and you will find peace and comfort in that.

Here are a few of my favourite scriptures on encouragement:

Deuteronomy 31:6

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Isaiah 40:28-31

“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Isaiah 41:10

“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 43:2

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.”

John 16:33

“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.”

1 Corinthians 10:13

“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

Well, that’s it from me! Thanks for reading and I would love to give an enormous thank you to Grace for allowing me to post on her blog page today, I greatly enjoyed it.
