Psalms 29:11
Psalms 29:11
The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
Fighting life’s battles can be emotionally draining and sap one's strength. If you have ever had to face a situation that defies human solution after several attempts, then you would know that human capacity has an elastic limit. Life plunges us into unpleasant situations that we cannot bear or handle, leaving us feeling dejected, helpless, and hopeless. Believers are not exempt. Knowing and serving God does not make us immune to distressing circumstances. We pass through certain events that might make life lose its meaning or tempt us to renounce our faith. We become incapacitated, having no power of our own to withstand the challenges we face. As believers, we have God as our present help in times of trouble, as well as our source of strength. There are situations we go through in which God delivers and rescues us, but He can allow some to persist so as to refine us and transform us. He gives us strength in times like this to persevere and keep faith, whether we are being persecuted or suffering loss. While we are going through these hard times, God can give us peace even in the midst of chaos and adversity. Our minds are at rest because we know that God is with us and He is working things out for our good.
Proverbs 18:22
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.
Ephesians 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
Genesis 22:17
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Deuteronomy 28:8
The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee."
