The Lord is Good -Psalms 100:4-5

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations."

The Cheerful Giver -2 Corinthians 9:6-9

"But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace about toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. As it is written: "He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.""

Leads Us In Triumph -2 Corinthians 2:14

"Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place."

I really like how this verse points out that God's victory in our lives is a light to others. But for me, it's especially encouraging to know that God "...always leads us in triumph...", not a few times, or every once in a while, but always.

Stay Encouraged!

Healing -Psalms 107:17-22

"Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, were afflicted. Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near to the gates of death. Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses. He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing."

Light is Sown -Psalms 97:11-12

This is a continuation of yesterday's post:

"Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart."

What should our response be to this promise? Verse twelve tells us,

"Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy Name."
