    Until then …
    May we rest in Him, confessing,
    “My hope is in You” (Psalm 39:7).

Be Watchful

September 19, 2019

1 Peter 5:8-10 Amplified Bible (AMP)
8 Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. 9 But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be].
.
Colossians 4:2Devote yourselves to{be diligent in} prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving.

Romans 12:11-12Do not lag in diligence, be fervent{enthusiastic} in spirit, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction{tribulation}, faithful{persistent} in prayer.

Trust-Wait-Hope in the Lord!

January 25, 2019


.

.
Psalm 62:1-8 NLT … I wait quietly before God,
for my victory comes from Him.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken.
3 So many enemies against one man—
all of them trying to kill me.
To them I’m just a broken-down wall
or a tottering fence.
4 They plan to topple me from my high position.
They delight in telling lies about me.
They praise me to my face
but curse me in their hearts.
Interlude
5 Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in Him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will not be shaken.
7 My victory and honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
8 O my people, trust in Him at all times.
Pour out your heart to Him,
for God is our refuge.

.
Psalm 62:8 AMPC … Trust in, lean on, rely on, and have confidence in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is a refuge for us (a fortress and a high tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
