Refreshing

Times are tough, yes, tough! Do not be afraid! My Lord is very great. He will meet all your needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus.

"I am your shield, your very great reward. " --Gen. 15:1

Praise the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. --Ps. 104:1

He will refresh you with living water. Do not become weary of doing good:

You gave abundant showers, O God; you refreshed your weary inheritance. --Ps. 68:9

A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. --Prov. 11:25

He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear, but will give you always a way out:

An evil man is trapped by his sinful talk, but a righteous man escapes trouble. --Prov. 12:13

The Lord knows how to rescue godly men. --2 Pet. 2:9b He will rescue you, when the time is right, and He will refresh you Himself!

The LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with his love, He will rejoice over you with singing. --Zeph. 3:17

So let your mind be at peace; be transformed as He renews your mind:

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. --Rom. 8:6

Though others may forsake you, shun you, or hate you, He is with you, and He is fashioning you, even now, to be His own perfect companion in glory:

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. --Rom. 8

These temporary trials are for your ultimate good and His glory:

"These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed." --1 Pet. 1:7
May He be revealed in you!

Submit to Him: "May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it." (1 Thess. 5:23, 24)
