There are so many verses in the Bible that are rich with encouragement and hope in any situation, but these have stuck out to me over the past number of months, so I decided to leave them here tonight. Maybe they’re a reminder you needed today, or maybe they’re here for me to refer to all at once when I need an extra dose of security and strength. Either way, God’s Word is living and active, and it can always reach us where we need it, when we need it. I’m so thankful for this manna in my own life and in the lives of those around me. When the world is noisy and distracting, here is where we can place our trust and hope.

I pray this finds you well tonight.
