Daily dose of encouragement

When I first started down the road of recovery my good friend, Kelly, printed the following scriptures on note cards for me to carry around and meditate on when I needed some quick encouragement. I still keep these notecards on hand today. The scriptures provide me with hope regardless of where I am in life or what I am facing on any particular day. I have listed these same scriptures on the Encouragement page tab on the right hand side of the blog as a quick reference point. I hope these bring some joy to your life as well.

Who You Are In Christ:
  • Psalm 139:14 "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. "
  • John 1:12 "Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God."
  • John 15:15 "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you." 
  • 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price."
The Battle Belongs to the Lord:
  • Philippians 4:19 "And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
  • Isaiah 58:8 "Then your light will break forth like dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. "
  • Philippians 1:6 ". . . being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." 
  • Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." 
What scriptures do you lean on when you need a daily dose of hope, joy, and/or encouragement? Please share! Make it a great day!
