NAHUM 1:7 (MSG)
GOD is good,
a hiding place in tough times.
He recognizes and welcomes
anyone looking for help,
No matter how desperate the trouble.
HEBREWS 10:35 (NLT)
So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Stay the course with Jesus no matter how desperate things appear.
DAILY FODDER
Why do you think the author of Hebrews, in the midst of his argument for the superiority of Christ Jesus, feels compelled to admonish his readers to stick with Jesus?
PRAYER
Your strong hold on me, Lord, gives me confidence to face life's troubles. Still, it is easy for me to let troubles overcome me, pin me down, and paralyze me. Beseiged by troubles, I come to you, my stronghold, for refuge. Give me courage to rise up, throw off fear, and take action to help and to love others. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
