Scriptures to Embrace
|
Paul thought us is, Philippians 4:8-9 AMP
|
First, consider the directive at the end of verse 8, "center our minds or dwell on these things."
|
The battle unfolds within our minds through our thoughts. It's crucial to be mindful of our mental activities. We cannot afford to linger on weak, limiting thoughts, for if we do, we risk becoming trapped by them. We must learn to cultivate our thoughts carefully; it's necessary to dismiss the negative and focus on the positive.
|
|
The LORD is our shepherd, this describes a journey. It is not praising God for one or two miraculous moments in life, but is declaring his goodness, his provision, his guidance, and his presence, throughout the entirety of our journey of life.
|
Here are 3 points we should embrace that David did.
|
I encourage you to think about the times in David’s life when he was at his best. Confronting a fearsome warrior (Goliath) whom no one else would dare face. (1 Sam. 17:37). Regarding Goliath, David explained, “The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine”
|
Each moment of David’s success comes back to his clarity that the Lord is the Shepherd through it all.
|
Our Faith must be tested, because it can only become our intimate possession through conflict.
|
Some things we can take away from Psalm 23.
|
|
|
1 John 4.9 And God showed his love for us by sending his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him."
|
1. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!" (Psalm 107:1)
|
1 Timothy 4:4
|
1 Peter 2:11-12 says, (NLT)
|
Look up each scripture and finish and embrace them. NIV version
|
Give God your weakness and He'll give you His strength." "The remedy for discouragement is the Word of God. ... "Do not strive in your own strength; cast yourself at the feet of the Lord Jesus and wait upon Him in the sure confidence that He is with you, and ... "Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light."
|
Parable of the Hidden treasure.
|
Hidden Treasure holds the key for those who want to have a stronger and closer relationship with God. Through a unique and simple method, as readers of the word, we are shown how to open the Spirit of Christ, that will allow each one of us to acquire divine strength, salvation, and inner peace. |
1. As our only treasure, we should value it above all the riches in the world.
|
|
Being ThankfulMaintaining an attitude of gratitude is essential. Reflecting on what we are truly thankful for in life is beneficial for us. Often, we take for granted the gifts we have been given. With our busy lives, we may not always take the time to consider what we should be thankful for. Gratitude has the power to transform ordinary days into days of thanksgiving, make routine jobs joyful, and turn everyday opportunities into blessings.
|
Speaking Gods Word
|
“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.” 2 Timothy 4:2. “Now, Lord… grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word…” Acts 4:29.
|
6 simple ways we can speak God’s Word together as a family:
|
There is great power in the spoken word. Speaking aloud something can make a huge difference in hiding God’s Word in our hearts. When we declare God’s Word together as a family or for ourselves, we cover ourselves and our home in truth. Deuteronomy 6:4-9 says, "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." |
For God speaks to the world through a deeper Knowledge within the individual and through the power of united relationships, where this deeper power can be expressed and experienced between two or more people. |
Say It! Then Pray It! Speaking God’s Word Aloud
|
Guard your heart.

Perseverance is the path to new beginnings Perseverance is the pathway to a new start because a new beginning often requires patience. James 5:11 says, “As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered.
|
Ecclesiastes 3:1-5 says, “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;” |
If you are facing any issues and you’re feeling hopeless because of a problem, just relax and rely on your faith. Remain calm and believe that a solution is coming your way. Here are the most inspiring faith quotes for you. Faith is believing in something when common sense tells you not to. Without faith a man can do nothing; with it all things are possible. – Sir William Osler |
As you practice counting your blessings, you will find that your faith is being suddenly revitalized.
|
“See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind” (Isaiah 65:17). Sometimes we just need to let go of the past and embrace the new season. Just like God does. “‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah’” (Jeremiah 31:31). The new covenant was given to us through the blood of Jesus. This is our hope. Newness is our inheritance. Jesus is the truest gift of newness in our lives. Newness of heart. Newness of eternity. From death to life. “I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh” (Ezekiel 11:19). We are given a new spirit as children of God. He turns our hearts from stone to flesh. New beginnings. New mercies. Newness of life forevermore. |
We place our faith in God and expect the best.
|
We should have faith that we receive when we pray, and we can possess whatever we believe. The scripture advises us to harbor forgiveness in our hearts as we pray.
|

Beautiful words and encouragements, that different authors has given us to embrace.
