Monday matters
We can all use some encouragement from time to time, here are some verses that you may want to keep in mind at times you need to hear a word or two to help you through the day. 1 Isaiah 40:31 “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” 2 Corinthians 1:3 – 4 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” Isaiah 41:10 “So, do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” 1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” Psalm 46:13 “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.” Perhaps you are not a Christian, then these words may provide encouragement to you Steven Covey, “Treat a person as they are and they will remain shall remain as they are. Treat a person as they can and should be and, they will become as they can and should be.”2 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe “Instruction does much, but encouragement everything." 3 Rodolfo Costa “Do not sit still; start moving now. In the beginning, you may not go in the direction you want, but if you are moving, you are creating alternatives and possibilities.” 4 Sri Chinmoy, “When we encourage others with no personal motives, we raise high, very high, Humanity's progress-standard.” 5 Dr. Seuss “But I've bought a big bat. I'm already, you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!” 6 Encouragement can come from many places and in many forms, from a simple gesture to a long talk. Find your encouragement, and in doing so, help others to find theirs. Pastor Lisa 1.) Scripture quoted from NIV Bible 2.)
