Words of Encouragement

Happy Friday!
It is a wet, windy and dark day here in Porters Lake
I’m down for the count with a terrible head cold/sinus thingy
Doing devotions this morning looking for some words of encouragement
Thought I would share.

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:12-14


Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:4-7


Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
Philippians 4:8


I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13


And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Philippians 4;19-20

Go forth and be encouraged in the Word of the Lord today!
Nothing can separate us from the love of God
Not weather
Or sickness
Or discouragement
Or circumstances
So be lifted up and put those feet one in front of the other and move forward
Live in love
Be gentle with yourself
And others
Happy Friday!
