Just Some Simple Words of Hope for your day today
These are just simple words for hope from the past week on Ministry of Hope.
“But the LORD made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.” Psalm 96:5b-6
When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot thou’ has taught me to say
It is well it is well with my soul
Yes, it is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
My sin oh the bliss of this glorious thought
My sin not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, o’ my soul
And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend
Even so, it is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
(Song by Horatio G Spafford)
“You are forced to choose between trusting Jesus intentionally OR rebelling: resenting His ways with you. This choice constitutes a fork in the road… Choose to trust Him in ALL circumstances.”
(Sarah Young, Jesus Calling)
Like this word from Chuck Swindoll today:
“Each morning, slam the door on despair. If you don’t, it will slip in and rob you. And you’ll soon find a peace missing.”
“Many Christians are like my grandmother’s teacups: beautiful to look at but not very useful… If we would fill up by spending daily time with Jesus, we could refresh others around us.”
(Melanie Redd, Stepping Closer to the Savior)
“Look up into the heavens.
Who created all the stars?
He brings them out like an army, one after another,
calling each by its name.
Because of his great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing.”
Isaiah 40:26, NIV
“Lord, if it’s not YOUR WILL, let it slip through my grasp. And give me the peace not to worry about it.”
(Wonderful prayer from iamlovedbytheking/Tumblr)
“The sweetest time of the day is… When you pray. Why? Because you’re talking to the One who loves you the most.”
(from Jesusisalifestyle.com)
“All of God’s Word makes it clear that nothing lies beyond the potential of prayer.”
(Dick Eastman, The Hour That Changes the World)
“In prayer, you align yourselves with the purpose and power of God and He is able to do things through you He couldn’t do otherwise.”
(Dr. Stanley Jones)
That’s it for this week’s Simple Words of Hope.
I pray that the Lord will lead you beside some still waters today and fill your cup to overflowing.
