Yesterday, I looked at a long list of verses to look up, and I was a little intimidated. That feeling melted away as the words washed over me…
Feeling like I’ve exhausted God’s grace lately, this was especially encouraging to me:
Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The unfailing love of the Lord never ends! By His mercies we have been kept from complete destruction. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each day. Lamentations 3:21-23
I was surprised at how familiar many of these passages were, yet how few of them I had already underlined in my Bible. I’m grateful for the opportunity to do just that.
Today’s entry begins with a challenge – that of shifting our mindset from, I wish I could grow in Christ, but I never seem to overcome this one big thing! …to, I absolutely can do this! Because I know the truth, I’m taking responsibility for myself, and I want to grow!
I’ll leave you with a verse from Romans (number 19 on today’s list) that comes after a long list of troubles and trials:
No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. Romans 8:37
