Encouraging verses

[Mayflower]

I'm falling behind in that. It isn't the reading. It is more the copy pasting from Bible app. Especially week days working full time. I'm meditating on them though. I don't like leaving things half done. I just have to do it at once even though I read every day.

@Mayflower Another good one for the Proverbs thread... :)

 

[Psalm51]

Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.

(Acts 3:19-21)

 

[Psalm51]

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
But he who trusts in the LORD,

mercy shall surround him.​

you righteous;​

And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

[Mama Etna]

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD,
and whose hope the LORD is.
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters,
and that spreadeth out her roots by the river,
and shall not see when heat cometh,
but her leaf shall be green;
and shall not be careful in the year of drought,
neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7-8​

 

[Mama Etna]

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psalms 1:1-3​

For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down,

Yet through the scent of water it will bud,
and bring forth boughs like a plant.

[Mama Etna]

Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God,
I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver,
which I have given to the house of my God,
over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,
Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir,
and seven thousand talents of refined silver,
to overlay the walls of the houses withal:
The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver,
and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers.
And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD?
Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel,
and the captains of thousands and of hundreds,
with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly,
And gave for the service of the house of God
of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams,
and of silver ten thousand talents,
and of brass eighteen thousand talents,
and one hundred thousand talents of iron.
And they with whom precious stones were found gave them
to the treasure of the house of the LORD,
by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
1 Chronicles 29:3-8​
