This week’s post is a continuation
from last week. Times of transition are
inherently stressful; however, by turning to the Word of God we can find comfort,
relief. Here is the link to last week’s
post: Scriptures for Times of Transition.
The verses that follow are a selection and not meant to be
exhaustive.
I encourage you to meditate on these verses—letting them sink
into your heart and mind.

Heaven
and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
(Matthew 24:35 KJV)
Now
the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may
abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
(Romans 15:13 KJV)
For which cause we
faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day
by day.
For our light
affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at
the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things
which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
(2
Corinthians 4:16-18 KJV)
Be careful for
nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let
your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of
God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4:6-7
KJV)
But my God shall
supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4:19 KJV)
Which hope we have
as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that
within the veil;
Whither the
forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after
the order of Melchisedec.
(Hebrews 6:19-20 KJV)
Jesus Christ the
same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
(Hebrews 13:8 KJV)
And the world
passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth
for ever.
(1 John 2:17 KJV)
And this is the
confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will,
he heareth us:
And if we know that
he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we
desired of him.
(1 John 5:14-15
KJV)
My prayer is that these verses will speak to your heart and
provide strength and encouragement on difficult days. For those of us who have Jesus as Savior and
Lord can see difficult days in the light of eternity. While difficult days come; we have a glorious
future awaiting us with our Savior!
Where do you find comfort in God’s Word during times of
transition?
Please join with me in prayer:
Precious Lord, thank You for Your Word
that contains solid truth; as we mediate on it, open our spiritual eyes to
understand what You are saying to us.
Direct our attention to the Scriptures You want us to meditate upon and
apply to our daily lives. Bring to our
minds all the ways You walk with us through all the transitions of life. Remind us to keep our minds focused on You,
especially when things seem to be in constant flux and we struggle to find our
footing. Open our eyes to the new possibilities,
the new horizons that come from times of transition. Thank You for the benefits that come from
being Your child; may we share the Good News with those around us who
desperately need to hear it. In Jesus’
Name, we pray. Amen.
From My Heart to Yours,
Kim
Wonderfully comforting verses, Kim, and I absolutely loved your prayer here! Yes, changes are inevitable, but we can trust in the One who never changes; God's promises are sure and true.
