Affirmations

It is December in Michigan and the snow has begun! Makes you want to curl up with a good book!! Recently in my reading I found these Biblical affirmations listed:

"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31

"If God be for us (me), who can be against us (me)?" Romans 8:31

"He who has begun a good work in you will complete it." Philippians 1:6

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

"These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full." John 15:11

"With God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26

"Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:20

I was familiar with all of these verses and found that many were ones I memorized as a young child in church. Thank God for pastors that teach their people scripture and see that they memorize them. How many times have one or more of these passages ministered to you when you needed them?
