A few verses...

Dear all, I have not had time to write anything this week, but I thought I would share some verses I was challenged by this week.

4May all who seek you
   rejoice and be glad in you!
May those who love your salvation
   say evermore, “God is great!”
5But I am poor and needy;
   hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
   O LORD, do not delay!
Psalm 70:4-5

6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
   it is high; I cannot attain it.

7Where shall I go from your Spirit?
   Or where shall I flee from your presence?
8If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
   If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9If I take the wings of the morning
   and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10even there your hand shall lead me,   and your right hand shall hold me.
Psalm 139:6-10

15Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
1John 2:15-17

And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.”
Genesis 4:7

I hope these verses are an encouragement/help to you as they were to me. I hope this week is a blessing to all of you.

  1. Hello Madison Joy,
    Thank you so much for the encouragment! I also have been reading in the Psalms lately. I have been participating in a summer pursuit, which contains atleast 15 minutes a day, of dovotions, by yourself, with the Lord. It's been really fun, so far! :)

    How have y'all been doing lately?
    Love & Blessings,
    Martha Joy
