Perfect, Trustworthy & Right

“The instructions of the LORD are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are clear, giving insight for living.” — Psalms 19:7-8 (NLT) Does your soul need reviving? Do you need insight for living? Do you want your heart to be joyful? Follow the instructions of Yahweh. “They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them.” (Psalms 19:11 NLT) Isaiah 26:8 says, we show our trust in the LORD by obeying His laws. May our heart’s desire be to glorify His name.  The foremost of all the commandments is “ ... The LORD our GOD is one LORD; and you shall love the LORD your GOD with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”  (See Mark 12:29-31 NASB1995) 

God is Faithful

Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word]; — Hebrews 10:23 (AMP) God is faithful [He is reliable, trustworthy and ever true to His promise—He can be depended on], and through Him you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. (1 Corinthians 1:9 AMP) Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: (Hebrews 10:35-36 NKJV) Let us exercise patient endurance, and bear up under difficult circumstances without compromising…  (See Hebrews 10:36 AMP). …know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments; (Deuteronomy 7:9 NKJV) Don't wonder waver, or wander. Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfu...

Cling Tightly

So now we must cling tightly to the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps his promises! — Hebrews 10:23 (TPT) Let us hold tightly, without wavering, to the living hope we have in the LORD. For He who promised is reliable, trustworthy and faithful to His Word. In Hebrews 13:5, He assures us that He will never leave us or forsake us. Psalm 119:65 says, those who love God’s law will have great peace and nothing will make them stumble. Psalm 55:22 promises that, if we cast our cares on the LORD, He will sustain us. All the promises God has made are “Yes” in Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20). Which one are you standing in faith on?

It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary. Jesus has already gone in there for us. He has become our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. (Hebrews 6:19-20 NLT) God is our refuge and help. He is our only hope.  How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose hope is in the Lord his God,  Who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them; Who keeps faith forever; — Psalm 146:5-6 (CSB)

Our Anchor

Image
This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary. — Hebrews 6:19 (NLT) Yesterday, my husband and I had the privilege of pinning my daughter's anchors on her, at the Chief Petty Officer's Pinning Ceremony. I learned that the anchor conveys a strength of character, and a more direct purpose. They said the anchors could take a beating. They are durable, but they can also be buffed up and will shine brightly. Sailors look for the Chief in times of stress, times of fear, times of uncertainty and times of loneliness, to guide them, —to bring them home safely. As believers, our hope in Christ is our anchor. It is where we are to look, at all times. Jesus will keep us from drifting off course. He will keep us steady in stormy times. And He will always draw us to the Father, our true home. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us (Hebrews ...

He provides light to those who dwell in darkness. No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

No matter what comes our way, we are mighty and secure, in Jesus. He is our strong foundation. Faithful and absolutely trustworthy is He who is calling you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will do it [He will fulfill His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own].

Reliable & Trustworthy

  Because of faith also Sarah herself received physical power to conceive a child, even when she was long past the age for it, because she considered [God] Who had given her the promise to be reliable and trustworthy and true to His word. — Hebrews 11:11(AMP) May we be full of faith, knowing with all of our hearts and minds that our God is true to His Word.

HOPE in the LORD

Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the LORD.  — Psalm 31:24 (NKJV) The Message says it this way: Be brave. Be strong. Don’t give up. Expect God to get here soon. Let your hope serve as a trustworthy anchor for the soul, holding it firm and secure. This confidence in the LORD will keep you from being moved to and fro by temporary circumstances. Whatever you are going through right now, shall eventually come to pass. Be strong and courageous, and do not give up!

Still Find HOPE!

“The reason I can still find hope is that I keep this one thing in mind:  the LORD’s mercy.  We were not completely wiped out. His compassion is never limited. It is new every morning. His faithfulness is great. Lamentations 3:21-23 (GW) When discouragement and depression come knocking at your door, still find HOPE. No matter how dismal circumstances may appear, hang onto hope. Remember the great mercy of the LORD, His unmerited kindness and favor. The LORD's mercies are trustworthy and true. They keep us from being completely wiped out. God is full of compassion and mercy and it never runs out. He delivers new compassions to our door step each and every morning. Great is His faithfulness!
