Psalm
73:25-26
Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has
nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God
is the strength of my heart and my portion
forever.

"Whom
have I in heaven but you?"
A deep expression of dependence to God is
really an inspiring encouragement whatever
situation a servant of God may experience
in his entire life. This scripture is one
of the best scriptures that reminds me of
who I am and what I am here for. Throughout
my life even in the darkest moment God never
leave me unattended. The expression of David's
heart is so true but humble and calling me
higher in my relationship with God.

Isaiah
54:4-8
Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame.
Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth and
remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
For your Maker is your husband— the LORD
Almighty is his name— the Holy One of
Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the
God of all the earth.
The LORD will call you back as if you were
a wife deserted and distressed in spirit—
a wife who married young, only to be rejected,"
says your God.
"For a brief moment I abandoned you,
but with deep compassion I will bring you
back.
In a surge of anger I hid my face from you
for a moment, but with everlasting kindness
I will have compassion on you," says
the LORD your Redeemer.

Zephaniah
3:12-20
"But I will leave
within you the meek and humble, who trust
in the name of the Lord. The remnant of
Israel will do no wrong; they will speak
no lies, nor will deceit be found in their
mouths. They will eat and lie down and no
one will make them afraid. Sing, O Daughter
of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad
and rejoice with all your heart, O Daughter
of Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away your
punishment, he has turned back your enemy.
The Lord, the King of Israel is with you;
never again will you fear any harm. On that
day they will say to Jerusalem, Do not fear,
O Zion; do not let your hands hang limp.
The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty
to save. He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love, he will
rejoice over you with singing. The sorrows
for the appointed feasts I will remove from
you; they are a burden and a reproach to
you. At that time I will deal with all who
oppress you; I will rescue the lame and
gather those who have been scattered. I
will give them praise and honor in every
land where they were put to shame. At that
time I will gather you; at that time I will
bring you home. I will give you honor and
praise among all the people of the earth
when I restore your fortunes before your
very eyes, says the Lord."

I
love reading this passage of scripture.
I really love reading my Bible. I have many
many favorite scriptures, but this one kind
of stands out for me. It makes me realize
what God has done for me. It continues to
remind me of God's love for me. I really
do not deserve anything good from God, but
God does want to bless me with everything
good in his kingdom. I count all my blessings
a gift from God.
When I read this scripture, I get reminded
of what God will continue to bless me with.
Verse 17 kind of stands out the most. God
is with me. God has saved me. God is pleased
with me. He is happy for me. God loves me.
God will take care of me. God is excited
about me. God sings to me. (I wonder what
that singing voice will be like. I will
find out when I get to heaven). God has
continue to protect me. How can I feel any
stuggles with realizing God loves me so
much. He sent his absolute best to the world
for me. His Son, Jesus. When I do face trials
and struggles (they seem to attack me everyday),
I can always trust in God and rely on him.
God will give me praise and honor. He is
calling me to be in his home. Heaven can
await for us. God is waiting to welcome
us in to his home: Heaven!
It helps me remain grateful to what God
feels about me. He has never doubted in
me. He has never given up loving me. God
has never stopped in his love. I need to
remain very grateful to God. He has done
more than I can ever ask or imagine or even
deserve. God will promise to always stay
with me.
I do read this scripture a lot. It keeps
helping me to remain faithful. (I have a
lot of scriptures that hel me stay faithful).
This one seems to always been one passage
of scriptures that has stood out to me.

Psalm
15:4c "who keeps his oath even when it
hurts."
Psalm 15:5c "He who does these things will
NEVER be shaken."
I
just wanna share my favorite scripture that
inspires me to hold on with my decision to be
faithful with God. I was in the midst of facing
a lot of challenges and temptations of giving
up to the church due to a lot of hurts in leadership,
expectations in friendship, dating life, lots
of discouragement in work, family and finances
encountered. But God is great, He always find
a way to resolve my heart to be right before
him. As I ask God, how could i be faithful with
him & how can i have a heart the could never
be shaken inspite of difficulties in my Christian
life. Likewise, I ask him about his requirements
of staying faithful to his kingdom.
As i began to pray hard and earnestly kneel
down to him to speak with me as i read my bible.
He answered my questions by getting deeper with
the whole chapter of Psalm 15.
When i read the scripture above, i look back
and remember my vow to God. Until i realize
that whatever hurts, challenges and difficulties
may come into my life, i should have to remind
myself that "Jesus is my Lord and my life"....
