I love it when you can pair  two verses together in a numerical or other memory key that relate to the same topic.  It helps you to remember them.  One such instance is Hebrews 11:1 and Hebrews 12:1.  Here you have the first verse of two chapters that are side by side.  Hebrews 11:1 tells us that true faith is not based on what is seen, for that would not be faith.  It is rather based on what we know to be true from God’s Word.  Hebrews 12:1 tells us to rid ourselves of what ever is holding us back from serving God.  We have a cloud of faithful witnesses watching over us so let’s act on our faith and do what God calls us to even when we don’t see how it can happen.  If we live our lives at home, school, work, or wherever we are at according to these verses, God can use us to do great things.

Philippians 4:6 tells us to not be anxious about anything.  I Peter 5:7 tells us to cast all our care on the Lord.  These are commands from the Lord that most of us probably break quite frequently.  If that is the case, then what does that say about our prayer life and trust in God?  If we believe God to be faithful then why do we continue to worry after we pray to Him?  Let’s get on with the life that God has in store for us and just be happy!!!

Exodus 14:13 says, “Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today”.

Too many times we try to “help God out” as if we can really do that.  In reality God calls us to stand firm on His Word, the Bible, and when we run into those times when we just don’t know what else to do, He will come along and show us the way. 

Let us not get in our own way of seeing God’s way.

I heard a pastor use this phrase recently, “A good verse in a bad book”.  He was referring to Jeremiah 29:11.  The book of Jeremiah is full of bad things that are happening; however, in the middle of all this is a promise of God that He has good thoughts towards you and knows what is going to happen.  Your end, your outcome is not left up to chance.  God is in control.  So if you are struggling right now, just bow to Him and trust Him.  I heard someone else once say “you could not climb the mountain if it were smooth”.  So remember, God knows what is best and has thoughts of peace for you.
