And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them.They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain,for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21.3,4
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4.12
A verse close to my heart when I am pulling in the boat by the mid rope and relying on its strength to keep the boat safe and secure.
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
Lamentations 3.22
I find the word ‘steadfast’ hugely reassuring. To love is a verb – in our humanity we sometimes fail to love as we should yet we are assured that God’s loving us is steadfast.
Be still and know that I am God.
Psalm 46.10
A comforting verse to regularly meditate and reflect upon in this busy world of ours.
The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1.5
Whatever darkness we may be feeling in our life right now we can live in the knowledge that in time the light will break through.
In the beginning was the Word….
John 1.1
At the start of a new year, stormy and unpredictable, I find it comforting to remember that God, being the Word from the beginning, has a plan for his world, and if we choose, we can be a part of it.
