Remembering

The thing about trusting in God is that it is sometimes hard to remember His promises when you're in the midst of tough times and hardships. I guess that is why it is important to have memory verses and fellowship and good friends. We often have to go to those things to remind ourselves that God is good. God is loving. God's plans will not fail, even when the people making things happen are not Godly people.

I am a child of God.

I know that God's plan will come to fruition even when it seems like nothing is going right.

I know that God loves me.

I know that God will use trials and difficulties in my life to make me stronger, to give me opportunities to serve in new ways, and to bring me back to Him.


Why, though, does it have to be so hard sometimes?

Memory Verses wk 4

Again, all from the book of Isaiah. Tonight is our last class. It has gone too quickly!

Is 57:15
For thus says the high and exalted one who lives forever, whose name is Holy. "I dwell on a high and holy place, and also with the contrite and lowly of spiriti in order to revive the heart of the contrite."

Is 64:4
For from or old they have not heard nor perceived by ear, neither has the eyes seen a God besides Thee, who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him.

Is 66:2b:
but to this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trebles at My word.

Now to do my homework . . .
