I have been taking a special joy in the sweetness of my beloved, Jesus, this week. He has reassured me in so many ways this week of my security and identity in him, his ridiculous love for me, and the fact that his ways are FAR higher than mine. Some verses that have been close to my heart the past couple weeks...
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:19
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9
You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate, but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her (Hephzibah), and your land Married; for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married.
Isaiah 62:3-4
I have been rejoicing in the endless promises of God.... for I am Hephzibah in his sight.
How do you pronounce that word? It sounds Mongolian when I say it outloud! I also think it would make a great name for your first child.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouraging verses! Good stuff!
