some recent life-giving words...
"The Lord is my strength and my song. He has become my salvation." (Exodus 15:1/Psalm 118:14/Isaiah 12:2)
"But if we hope for what we do not have, we wait for it patiently.... And we know that in all things God works together for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed into the likeness of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers." (Romans 8:25, 28-29)
"The Lord your God is with you;
He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
He will quiet you with his love,
He will rejoice over you with singing." (Zephaniah 3:17)
It is a great comfort to be able to say these words. They provide relief and peace.
Yet it is also a privilege and a calling. A beckoning to continue on, to do the "next thing," to persevere... to press on.
