As I watch the news and Twitter feeds and pay attention to those around me, this one thing I know: Harvey-caused or not, many people are either literally and/or figuratively flooded right now. How about you?
Are you overwhelmed by the flood of life’s circumstances?
Do you need some encouragement today?
Are you dry and thirsty for a Word from the Lord or a reminder that He loves you and is concerned about every detail of your life and what you are walking through at this very moment? Do you need to know that God is actively working on your behalf, even if evidence of His work is currently hidden?
If so… then this post is for you! If you have faced a tremendous storm lately or are in the midst of one right now, may these Truths from your Good and Sovereign Lord quench and strengthen your parched hearts.
I pray that God will use His Word to remind you that God is as beautifully faithful today as He was during a “happier” time of your life. And, He is as faithful today as He was in the beginning – and as He will be tomorrow!
Trust Him, my friends. And let His peace and presence wash over you as you bask in these 15 Bible Verses to Encourage You. I’m praying for you~
