Verse Book & Encouragement

A few years back for my birthday my Aunt Christy sent me this journal that is very beautiful on the outside i think :) Anyways on the front of this book it has a pinkish flower and on top of the stem of the flower are 6 words:

Inspire
Dream
Hope
Believe
Imagine
Create

Immediately i fell in love with it and wanted to do something different with it than an ordinary journal... So i made it my Verse Book. My goal is to fill the entire book Cover to Cover with Verses that i have been inspired by, or that others have been inspired by. So far there is at least 1 verse on every page. And i am currently working page to page filling it completely before moving on. My hope for this book is to find encouragement through it and give encouragement to others as well... That is why, once it is completely filled i want to give it away to someone that i don't know.

The words in the Bible have been such a blessing to me and have shown so much truth, love, restoration, hope, and peace. So i wanted to share a verse with you today that really caught my attention today, and i hope will be an encouragement to you where ever you may be at in your life.

Psalm 91
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my GOD, in whom I trust."
Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
If you make the Most High your dwelling--
even the LORD, who is my refuge-
then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me, and i will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation.

No matter where you are at, what is going on, or how hopeless you feel. We have a GOD that loves us and will deliver us from any situation. He longs to sit with us in the midst of turmoil and comfort us as he carries us through the tough times. We have ever reason to shout his name at the top of our lungs for how great and mighty our GOD is!!

From a song by Chris Tomlin... "And if our GOD is for us, then who can ever stop us. And if our GOD is with us, then what can stand against?!"

Lets lift him up today :)
Be Blessed
