Life verses

There are so many verses that I hold onto in my daily life.  I’m not sure where to begin…  I may have to even change these once a month as there are so many wonderful promises and verses that we can use to help us through our mountains…

So here are a few of mine:

Romans 8:28 & Jeremiah 29:11-13

These 2 verses were double edged swords for me for many years until I could accept God’s plan for my life and not my will for my life for Him.  I have had some very interesting lessons in life that would include…

I had to learn that my definition of “good” and God’s definition of “good” might not be quite the same.  Further when the definitions are not synonymous, it is my definition that falls short as I only can see a small window of time, whereas God knows and sees everything from the beginning to the end.

I have learned that even if my plans are good, His plans are infinitely better than mine could ever be; even when they don’t seem to be or are painful.

He has made many promises in these verses that I can and do hold Him to.  For example, He promised that He loves me, and that he has plans for me.  He promises to listen to me, He will allow me to find Him when I seek His face, and will bring me back from any captivity I may find myself in.

I hold onto these promises when I don’t understand why he has allowed things in my life or when my prayers have not been answered in the way I would have thought they would.  I hold these promises as they give me anew hope.

It allows me to know how important and valuable I am to Him so that when the world or my mind tells me something different, I have these truths to fall back on to set me free from whatever bondage I am dealing with at the time.
