A reward

Not that we should be humble in order to receive rewards/blessings, but God says that this is what the humble will receive.

The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.

Proverbs 22:4 ESV

*********

Please join me this week in praying for humility, either for yourself or someone you know. If you don't know anyone who needs a dose of humility, then I humbly ask that you pray this for me.

Plans for you

For I know the plans I have for you, 

declares the Lord, 

plans for welfare and not for evil, 

to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11 ESV

Be patient in tribulation

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

Romans 12:12 ESV

Reward for patience

This verse is so full of imagery! I should tape this to my monitor at work. How often I pray for strength and/or guidance in a situation but then don't have the patience to wait for an answer. Those situations often end badly. Patience is so difficult but so necessary. It keeps us from saying something out of anger and instead allows us to discuss calmly. It keeps us from making stupid mistakes and acting irrationally. It allows us to hold onto hope. Be patient. The rewards are worth it.

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; 

they shall mount up with wings like eagles; 

they shall run and not be weary; 

they shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31 ESV

Let's pray for someone we know who lacks patience (this may mean including yourself in your prayer). I'll post daily reminders on:

Children are a heritage from God

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, 

the fruit of the womb a reward. 

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior 

are the children of one's youth. 

Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! 

Psalm 127:3-5 ESV
