Whatever your special need for the day may be, you can find a verse in the Bible suited to it. Are you tired? Look at Isaiah 40:3131But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31): “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Matthew 11:2828Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28) says, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Are you fearful? Look at Psalms 27:11<<A Psalm of David.>> The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1) “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” or John 14:2727Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27): “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid,” or Romans 8:2828And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28): “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose,” and many others.
Do you want assurance of your salvation? See John 5:2424Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (John 5:24): “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life,” or Romans 8:16,3116The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: (Romans 8:16)
31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31): “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.” “What shall we say then to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” I think sometimes we simply forget to just sit down and open our Bibles and say, “Lord, here are Your promises, I want to claim them for myself.”
