For what is seen is temporary, but what
is unseen is eternal.”

and perfector of our faith,
who for the joy set before Him endured
the cross,
scorning it’s shame and sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.
Consider Him, who endured such
opposition from sinful men
so that you will not lose heart.”

Testing & Wisdom

what is common to man.

what you can bear.

can stand up under it.”

ask God, who gives generously
to all, without finding fault, and it
will be given to him.

doubt not, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea,
blown and tossed by the wind.
Such a person should not think he will
receive any thing from God.

being much more
precious than gold that perishes,
though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise,

whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him,
yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible
and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.

No one can fathom. He gives strength to
the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and
young men stumble and fall;
But those who hope in the Lord will
renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
They will run and not grow weary, they
will walk and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:28-31
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my
power
is made perfect (Complete) in weakness.

insults, in hardships
in persecutions, in difficulties.
For when I am weak then I am strong.
