…about Encouraging Thoughts for Today – Trusting God

With the Presidential Election only days away, it has become apparent that people are fearful, worried and concerned about the future.  The Bible is clear as to how we should live and how we should face the future. In the days and weeks ahead, I will be sharing Scriptures and words of hymns and songs regarding HOPE, WORRY, FEAR, TROUBLES, NEEDS, etc. to encourage you as we live during these uncertain times.

I make little cards from photos I have taken and give them to people I encounter when I am out-and-about. Recently I gave my surgeon and her assistant a copy of the card shown below. Their eyes lit up and with much gratitude my surgeon said, “This is what we need.  Thank you so much.” 

We need to trust God.  Here are some verses about trusting God. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him (Psalm 37:5 NIV.) Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord (Psalm 40:4 NIV.) When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid. (Psalm 56:3-4 NIV.) Whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. (Proverbs 29:25 NIV.) God will take care us.   Below are the words to the hymn Day by Day and the Bible verses Proverbs 3:5-6.  Be encouraged!
