Lamentations 3:41
Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven.
When watching a sporting event or a concert, we naturally lift our hands for our favorite team or our favorite singer. But if you think about it, they don’t know the hard days you’ve walked through. Yet God has been there through all of it. So today, why not lift your hands to the One who’s always been with you!

Psalm 145:17
The Lord is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works.
Right and kind. That’s what God has revealed about Himself. He always does what is right, and He is kind in all that He does. That’s not just something God does sometimes, it’s part of His unchanging character. Which means, you can trust where He’s leading you even when you don’t understand the direction He’s taking you.

1 Thessalonians 5:24
He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.
If you’ve accepted Jesus as your Savior, then you’ve been called from darkness to light, from blindness to sight. And it isn’t because you were such a faithful person; it’s because God is faithful. He opened your eyes to your need for Him, and by His grace, you responded to His call.

Ephesians 3:20
God is able to do far more than we could ever ask for or imagine. He does everything by his power that is working in us.
If you’ve ever had anyone buy you ice cream and instead of giving you a single cone, they got you a triple decker cone, then you know what it looks like to get far more than you could ever imagine. And that’s what God is capable of doing when you pray. He’s able to do way more than we could ever expect or imagine.

John 15:11
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
If you had the recipe to help someone be joyful, you’d want them to have it. And Jesus wanted His disciples to have what they needed in order to face the next season without Him. The instructions He gave them were simple: if they stayed close to Him, their circumstances may not be filled with joy, but He would still give them joy.

Psalm 30:11
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.
When you read about someone going through a difficult time, it has a way of reminding you that you aren’t alone. And David shared in his writings that he was no stranger to facing difficult circumstances. But fortunately, the difficult seasons didn’t last forever, and God was able to bring joy even after seasons of deep sorrow.

Habakkuk 3:18
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
If you overheard someone say, ‘My closets are empty, my refrigerator has no food, and my cupboards are bare,’ but then you heard them praising the LORD, you might wonder, ‘How is that possible?’ It’s because their hope isn’t found in what they can hold in their own hands it’s found in knowing they’re safe in God’s hands.

Luke 6:21
Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.
Jesus knew people would experience many difficult things like hunger, sorrow, and hardship. That’s why He reminded His followers that their present circumstances weren’t the end of the story. They had a future that would be filled with joy. And if you’re in Christ, so do you!

Psalm 126:2
Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.
We love watching those before-and-after shows. There’s just something beautiful about seeing something broken or worn out completely restored. And that’s what was happening with the people of God. Their difficult season was over, and restoration was on its way. Previously, they had cried, and now they would laugh! Before they had wept, and now they would sing!

2 Corinthians 4:6
For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Light gives us the ability to see the world around us, but in order to truly know who God is, we needed more than the light of the sun. We needed the Light of the World to reveal Him to us. And that’s exactly what Jesus came to do. Through Jesus, we see the glory of the One True God.

2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Fighting usually isn’t a very good thing, but if you’ve watched people run a race, they’re fighting the entire time. They’re fighting the urge to quit. That’s why Paul encouraged his protégé to not give up, but to fight the good fight every single day.

Psalm 32:7
You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance.
There are moments in life when all you want to do is hide from the world; from the demands, the decisions, and everything competing for your time and attention. And yet, running away won’t give you the help you need. Only the One you run to can do that.
