2013 Random Scriptures Verses For Reflection, Encouragement & Meditation

[Nice Lady]

Meditation on God's Word (i.e., Scriptures verses) is a powerful tool. We ought to meditate on His Word daily because the environment is naturally negative and for our development as Christians (Psalm 1:2). In the Bible, we are promised that meditation will make our way prosperous, have good success and be a tree planted by the river of waters (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:3). Second, meditation is a way of building up our spiritual inner strength. Third, the Holy Spirit will bring it to our remembrance in situations in which we need divine guidance and to rescue us from trouble. Finally, it teaches us how to walk in our new nature in Christ.

So, I am asking you to post Scriptures that you are meditating on because you never know if it will encourage someone, bear witness with someone that needs guidance or other reasons unknown to us.

I will kick off January 1, 2013 with Isaiah 43: 18-21 God's Word Translation:

Forget what happened in the past, and do not dwell on events from long ago. I am going to do something new. It is already happening. Don’t you recognize it? I will clear a way in the desert. I will make rivers on dry land. Wild animals, jackals, and ostriches will honor me. I will provide water in the desert. I will make rivers on the dry land for my chosen people to drink. I have formed these people for myself. They will praise me.

Hebrews 4:14-16 KJV

14. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

15. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

16. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Deuteronomy 1:19-21
19 Then, as the Lord our God commanded us, we set out from Horeb and went toward the hill country of the Amorites through all that vast and dreadful wilderness that you have seen, and so we reached Kadesh Barnea. 20 Then I said to you, “You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God is giving us. 21 See, the Lord your God has given you the land. Go up and take possession of it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, told you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

This verse spoke to me last night. Often I have to remind myself to have faith in the path that I am being put on and to go forth without fear. I feel that fear holds me and other back from so many things when there is really no reason to be.

I read this earlier this week. I thought it would be excellent to share with those who are experiencing injustices or oppressed by others--this so commonly happens in the workplace. Don't give up!
