So in case you are wondering why I'm posting pictures and verses and the thoughts of others... I thought the beginning of a new year was a good time to focus on truth outside of myself and my thoughts.
I get tired of my own thoughts and the spinning of said thoughts. God is teaching me, growing me and reminding me. So I'm going to spend the rest of the month sharing the reminders He passes along.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Psalm 139:1-5
You have searched me, LORD,
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you, LORD, know it completely.
You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
Faith is a bird that feels dawn breaking and sings while it is still dark.
- Rabindranath Tagore
Faith isn't the ability to believe long and far into the misty future.
It's simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.
- Joni Erickson Tada
James 1:16-18
Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
‘“The LORD bless you
and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”’
Numbers 6: 24-26
