Verse of the Week – Isaiah 43:2

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.  Isaiah 43:2

When you are wading through tough water that continues to keep pulling you in you have two choices, you can give in or keep fighting.  When those tough times come up we should be reminded that we are fighting the current with help and are not alone in the struggle.  When we fight the water on our own many times, similar to fighting the undertow in the ocean, we only make things worse.  When we allow God to help and intervene we accomplish more, grow stronger, and become a better child of Christ.

Verse of the week

Just a reminder about this week’s verse:

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. John 14:1

I love this verse because it starts out one of my favorite chapters in the New Testament – John 14 – which talks about the promise of Jesus’ return. Even in our darkest hour we can look at our future, a future spent in Heaven with Jesus. He’s coming back, so don’t be troubled!

Verse of the week

This verse is about thinking on the right kind of thoughts.  It occurred to me that so many of the negatives in my life are brought upon by my very thoughts.  We wonder constantly why we have negative thoughts, why we struggle with a particular lustful thought, or why we just seem down and sad.  Look at what you are feeding your mind, ask yourself what affect this could be having on your walk with Jesus and on your life in general.  Think on the good things and let all the other thoughts fade away!

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest,  whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.  Philippians 4:8
