Thoughts on a Monday morning

It's a Monday morning.
But God is good.
On my drive to work throughout the last few days, He has been bringing to mind some of His promises that I can cling to throughout my day.
I read this morning in Matthew about how He even knows the number of hairs on our head.
Wow. My God knows me better than I know myself.

So here are some of the promises that He has brought to my mind this morning:

His strength is perfect; when I am weak, He is strong. I sure have felt weak a lot lately.
He will always be with me, will never leave me or forsake me, even when I feel hopeless.
He knows what is best for me.
He knows the pain that we are going through and will always be there to comfort us.

Just a few tidbits, hope this encourages you on this Monday morning!!
Have a good week.

This IS encouraging to me! And I am so glad that you are clinging to God's promises.

Thank you for the encouragement. I cannot imagine going through this life without the Lord. He is good and He never changes. I am so thankful that no matter what happens on this earth, we have a Lord who loves us more than we will ever know and He keeps his promises. Praying for you.

I am soo thankful the Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever!

I was so encouraged reading through Job, and God's responses to Job and all his friends' theories about why Job was suffering. God answers asking them if they were there during the creation of the world. What stuck with me is that He says that He hears the cry of the baby ravens looking for food. I have been thinking about that ever since and it has been a tremendous encouragement to me that God is not just "hands off."

I agree with Marcie-life would be so difficult and without hope without the Lord. I love that He holds us in His hands and no one can snatch them out of His hands.
Thank you for the encouraging thoughts.

He gives strength to the weary, and He is near to the brokenhearted. I am so glad He doesn't leave us to fend for ourselves and survive in our own strength. He's there, even in the silence and the questions.

love you.

keep clinging. I will too.

wish I could give you a big hug!

"When you feel like you're alone in your sadness
And it feels like no one in this whole world cares
And you want to get away from the madness
You just call my name and I'll be there
You just call my name and I'll be there."

"Call My Name"
