“A Faithful Person Will Be Richly Blessed,” Proverbs 28:20.

Tired Woman Tired

Either mental or physical fatigue makes it easy to quit at whatever we know to do or want to do.  Remember that the Lord promises to richly bless the faithful.  What’s “faithful”?  It’s keeping going when you don’t feel like it.  Okay.  So how do we keep going in spite of fatigue?

Controlled by a Fearless Imagination

Israel’s army was capable of defending the tiny nation. The army’s leader, King Saul, looked like an impressive warrior men were willing to follow into battle. Equipped for warfare and trained for battle, Israel’s army looked prepared for an encounter with the Philistine forces.

In spite of appearances, the Israelies proved woefully ill prepared for military engagement. “…Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified,”  1 Samuel 17:11.  “When the Israelites saw (Goliath), they all ran from him in great fear,” 1 Samuel 17:24.  They were controlled by fearful imaginations. They could only picture themselves slaughtered by the opposing army. They could not imagine themselves as victors. …

You Can Do It!

Through the apostle Paul the Holy Spirit issued five very important commands.

  • Be on your guard.Philippians 4:13
  • Stand firm in the faith.
  • Be men of courage.
  • Be strong.
  • Do everything in love.

Each command describes Jesus.  He vigilantly remained on guard, he stood firm in his faith, he always acted courageously, he remained unbelievably strong in all circumstances and loved his heavenly Father supremely and mankind whole-heartedly.  The Spirit of the resurrected Jesus lives in the spirit’s of every human who surrenders to his lordship.  Empowered by the presence of Jesus we can perform each of these commands.  Truly, we can do everything through the mighty Spirit of Jesus that dwells in us!

Scripture Sheets Made Convenient

About five years ago we started printing Scripture Sheets. We chose a subject like “Hope” and filled a half sheet of paper with verses related to hope, printed it and mailed it. Then, we began sending Scripture Sheets via email. Many people responded with comments like, “I really needed that Scripture Sheet.” Or, “Those verses spoke to me.”

Now, we have about 80 Scripture Sheets on our website www.comfortencouragement.org. On the home page click on “Our Gifts to You” and then click on “Scripture Sheets.” This will bring up a list of titles that you can open.

Fast Forward Chapters

Green Fast Forward Button

Let’s be totally honest—not all the Bible is interesting.  In fact, some of the genealogies and other areas I call Fast Forward Chapters.  Since I only use electronic devices for reading, I come to some sections of Scripture that I refer to as fast forward chapters.  At the touch of a button my victor reader speeds through the section in Leviticus or Chronicles or wherever else I am and, poof, there I am at something I can comprehend and not fall asleep.

The point of this blog is:  Don’t give up your Bible reading when it’s boring or uninteresting.  Consistent reading of Scripture equates to consistent breathing—you have to do it!  It’s no sin to skip over a portion of Scripture in order to reach a more stimulating portion of the sacred writ.  It’s a deadly mistake to completely stop reading the Words of God.
