Holds Me Up -Psalms 94:17-19

"Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would soon have settled in silence. If I say, "My foot slips," Your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up. In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul."

God's Faithfulness and Might -Psalms 89:8-10

"O LORD God of hosts, Who is mighty like You, O LORD? Your faithfulness also surrounds You. You rule the raging of the sea; When its waves rise, You still them. You have broken Rahab in pieces, as one who is slain; You have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm."

He Is Faithful To Do It -1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

"Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it."

What a great prayer...

Sons of Light -1 Thessalonians 5:3-5

I skipped over this middle section yesterday because I was trying to make the post not so long...but then I looked at these verses, and realized they were a promise in and of themselves!

"For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness."

Those Who God Down to the Sea in Ships -Psalms 107:23-32

This is a long passage, but really good. This was the promise from Scripture that my Dad shared with me at my senior piano recital when I graduated from high school.

When we are going through life, we will hit rough times...we just need to remember to cry out to God!

"Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business on great waters, they see the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep. For He commands and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves of the sea. They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths; Their soul melts because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. Then they cry out to the LORD in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses. He calms the storm, so that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven. Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, and praise Him in the company of the elders."

The Man You Choose -Psalms 65:4-8

"Blessed is the man You choose, and cause to approach You, that he may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, of Your holy temple. By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us, O God of our salvation, You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the far-off seas; Who established the mountains by His strength, Being clothed with power; You who still the noise of the seas, the noise of the waves, and the tumult of the peoples. They also who dwell in the farthest parts are afraid of Your signs; You make the outgoings of the morning and evening rejoice."

Hope Does Not Disappoint -Romans 5:1-5

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulations produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."

Righteousness and Peace Have Kissed -Psalms 85:10-13

"Mercy and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed. Truth shall spring out of the earth, And righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yes, the LORD will give what is good; And our land will yield its increase. Righteousness will go before Him, And shall make His footsteps our pathway."

Speak Peace -Psalms 85:8

"I will hear what God the LORD will speak, For He will speak peace To His people and to His saints; But let them not turn back to folly."

Pleasing God -Proverbs 16:7

"When a man's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."

Redeemed in Peace -Psalms 55:18-19

"He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, For there were many against me. God will hear, and afflict them, Even He who abides from of old."

Established Peace -Isaiah 26:12

"LORD, You will establish peace for us, For You have done all our works in us."

I really like how this verse says God will establish peace for us because He has done all our works...not us.

Rest in God! There is a peace from knowing that Christ is working in and through us...anything good that we do, it's not us doing it.


He did it.

Perfect Peace -Isaiah 26:3

"You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You."

In This Place I Will Give Peace -Haggai 2:6-9

As we continue going through Haggai, we come upon another promise.

"For thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,' says the LORD of hosts. 'The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,' says the LORD of hosts. 'The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,' says the LORD of hosts. 'And in this place I will give peace,' says the LORD of hosts."

This promise points to when Christ came to earth...and the peace that came with Him.


The encouraging thing is that this promise still applies to us! When we accept Christ as our Savior, we receive the peace that "passeth all understanding".

His Song Will Be With Me -Psalms 42:8

"The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me - A prayer to the God of my life."

Giving Strength -Psalms 29:11

"The LORD will give strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace."

Never Shaken -Psalms 112:5-6

As we continue our journey through Psalms 112, I found this next section really encouraging. It reminded me of the absolute and complete peace we can have through our relationship with God...

"A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion. Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance."

With God, we can rest...we are never shaken if we are truly trusting in Him.


And as the verse closes, we are told that we will be in everlasting remembrance.

God's Love -Zephaniah 3:16-17

Happy Valentine's Day! In honor of the day, I thought I would share a verse that talks about God's Love.

"In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: "Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.""

Wow. God tells us here to not be afraid...because God is with us. He goes on to say that God will save us, He will rejoice over us, and He will quiet us with His love.

Now this love isn't just any love. This love passes all understanding, and is far greater than the love we as human beings show towards each other.

And God promises to quiet us with this perfect love that He has.


Wow. All I can say is, rest in the Lord! True peace comes from Him.

Being a son of God -Matthew 5:9

"Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God."

The Future of Peace -Psalms 37:37

This is an amazing promise...

"Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace."

Well, that would be none of us, right? Are any of us blameless? Can we really call ourselves righteous?

We can, through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. His righteousness was imputed to us when we became Christians.


For the believer, there is a promise of peace.
