Pastor Chris White says to all of you: HELLO MY FRIENDS. May the Lord bless you today.
HOLA MIS AMIGOS. Que el Señor los bendiga.
No matter what our discouraging situation,
there are encouraging verses in the Bible that can give us hope:
When you’ve lost something, or someone, who has been very precious to you:
Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for
they shall be comforted.”
Revelation 1:18 “I am alive forevermore.”
John 11:25 “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the
resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he
dies’”
When excruciating waves of chronic pain and weakness are crashing over your
head:
2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for
you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Hebrews 4:16 “Let us then approach the throne
of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help
us in our time of need.”
When your cupboard is bare, and your last crumb has been scraped up:
Matthew 6:33 “Seek first God’s kingdom and His
righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
Psalm 23:1 “The LORD is my shepherd, I shall
not be in want.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18 “… give thanks in all
circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
When no one seems to understand, or even to care:
Psalm 55:22 “Cast your cares on the LORD and
he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.”
Isaiah 40:11 “He tends his flock like a
shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.”
When you are being persecuted for your faith:
2 Peter 2:9 “the Lord knows how to rescue
godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment.”
John 15:18 “If the world hates you, keep in
mind that it hated me first.”
When the nation, the world, and even the family and the church, seem to be
disintegrating:
Isaiah 14:24: “The LORD of hosts has sworn,
saying, ‘Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, And as I have
purposed, so it shall stand.’”
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have
for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm
you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
When life’s fears and insecurities gang up on you:
Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my
salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom
shall I be afraid?”
Luke 12:7 “Indeed, the very hairs of your head
are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
Romans 8:1 “There is, therefore, no
condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.”
When your mood is dark:
Psalm 118:24 “This is the day the Lord has
made. Let us rejoice, and be glad in it.”
Romans 8:29-30 “For those whom God foreknew he
also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be
the firstborn among many brothers. And those he called, he also justified;
those he justified, he also glorified.”
When worn out and worn down to the point of giving up:
Hebrews 12:2-3 “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
the author and completer of our faith, who, for the joy set before Him endured
the cross, despising its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of
God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will
not grow weary and lose heart.”
When abandoned by everyone meaningful:
Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous. Do
not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with
you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:5-6 “… God has said, ‘Never will I
leave you, never will I forsake you.’ So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is
my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?’”
When friends and even family seem to be abandoning God:
Psalm 100:5 “God’s faithfulness endures
through all generations.”
2 Timothy 3:1-4 “But mark this: There will be
terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of
money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful,
unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal,
not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather
than lovers of God”
When under powerful temptation:
1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has seized
you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be
tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also
provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”
James 4:7-8 “Submit yourselves, then, to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and He will come
near to you.”
2 Timothy 1:12 “He is able to keep what I
committed to Him against that day.”
Hebrews 2:18 “Because He Himself suffered when
He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.”
When stung by your enemy’s false accusation:
1 Peter 3:14, 16 “But even if you should suffer for what is
right, you are blessed. … keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak
maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their
slander.”
Matthew 5:10 “Blessed are those who are
persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs in the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all
kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad,
because great is your reward in heaven”
Romans 8:31-34 “What, then, shall we say in
response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare
his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him,
graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God
has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who
died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is
also interceding for us.”
When circumstances lead you to doubt God:
Psalm 42:5 “O my soul, why are you downcast?
Put your hope in God: for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.”
Mark 9:24 “I do believe; help me overcome my
unbelief!”
When gripped by unrelenting anger and even hatred:
Ephesians 4:31 “Get rid of all bitterness,
rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind
and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God
forgave you.”
James 1:19 “My dear brothers, take note of
this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become
angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God
desires.”
1 John 4:20 “If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ yet
hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom
he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.”
When defeated with guilt, shame, and remorse:
1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.”
Romans 8:1-2 “Therefore, there is now no
condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus
the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.”
When about to go over the edge with overwhelming demands, pressures, and
expectations:
Matthew 11:28 “Come unto me, all you that
labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
John 15:5 [Jesus said] “I am the vine;
you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much
fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me.”
When the road forks unexpectedly, or when the multiplied factors of a
crucial decision bring darkening confusion:
James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should
ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be
given to him.”
1 Corinthians 14:33 “God is not the author of
confusion.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all
your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge
Him, and He shall direct your path.”
When you are famished of soul, longing for purity and righteousness:
Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and
thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
Psalm 23:3 “He leads me in paths of
righteousness, for His name’s sake.”
When all roads have been cut off so that only despair seems left:
1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has seized you
except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be
tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also
provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”
2 Corinthians 4:8 “We are hard pressed on
every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair.”
When the grave opens before you:
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world
that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not
perish but have eternal life.”
John 11:25-26 “I am the resurrection and
the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever
lives and believes in me will never die.
Hebrews 2:14-15 “Since the children have flesh
and blood, He too shared in their humanity so that by His death He might
destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who
all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.”
A blessing for all circumstances:
Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you
with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope
by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
