As I'm on the cusp of another major life change (career, home, church) my emotions have been all over the place. Here's how God has encouraged me this week....
"Thus says the Lord: keep your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears for there is a reward for your work, declares the Lord....there is a hope for your future..." Jeremiah31:16
"If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday. And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of the streets to dwell in." Isaiah 58:10-12
"These all died in faith, not having received the things promised but having seen them and greeted them from afar and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had an opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better a country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared for them a city." Hebrews 11:13-16
"The heart of man plans his way but the Lord establishes his steps." Proverbs 16:9
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Psalm 119:105
