Life's Provisions

Isn't it awesome how the Lord does things? His word is a thorough book that tells us stories and happenings of people that walked this earth before and after Christ's time. It's laid out in an order that allows us to read through a flow of events, and yet, within all of that, are reference points for us, here in the now of our lives.

Depressed? Lonely? Discouraged? Confused? Sad? Weary? Did you know there are verses throughout scripture for all of those and MANY more? All of the things we go through day to day, or even just for a season can be carried away from us through God's word. He tells us in Matthew 11:28-29 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."

We're blessed to have such a thorough reference to find encouragement and peace through One who loves us so much and wants only the best for us. So much so, that He gave reference after reference through His word that we can apply to every situation, every circumstance, finding direction and solitude for any and every scenario.

Unfortunately there are times that we become so overwhelmed in a trial or emotion that we get mind boggled on the many verses we read, and where they are found in the word, to find peace through the storm. We know there's something in there to reference to that can give us a comfort and help us through, but the enemy attacks and tries to block the Lord's words of comfort from our remembrance.

It's ok to have trials! The Lord knew we would or He wouldn't have provided the rescue for them! Because of this, I've added three links to the top of my blog. You'll find a Sewing Kit, a Toolbox, and First Aid. Under each of those are categorized verses to help you through your time of need. Read them, use them, and carry them in your heart.... they are our life's provisions, written specifically for each of us.
