In this article I will take you through some inspirational quotes from the Holy
Book that can be very encouraging for anyone
When trials come, it is often the case that we feel that God is not there or He
no longer cares, when in actual fact He does. Well, in this article I will try and show what
I mean by that.
Jeremiah
29:11-13 says, ‘For I know the thoughts I think towards you, says the Lord, thoughts of
peace not evil, to give you a future and hope. Then you will call to me and go and pray to me
and I will listen to you. And you will seek me and find me, when you search for me with all
your heart’.
God
Cares
The above mentioned verse clearly shows that God cares and has plans for all of
us which are not bad. You as a person need only to communicate to Him through prayer and try
to find Him with all your might. The Bible in the book of Proverbs 3:5-6 states that you
should ‘trust in the Lord and not lean on your own understanding and acknowledge Him and He
will make your ways straight’. For other people’s views on this verse you can
visit
Acts 20:24
Ministries which have a number of inspirational words of encouragement from the Bible.
Trials And Temptations
When you take into consideration the book of
James
1:2-4, you will realize that trials and temptations are only meant to make you
stronger as a person, to be mature and complete, not lacking anything. These trials and
temptations are only to test your faith and if you persevere in them you will be made
complete. We can call them a blessing in disguise. Even gold goes through a furnace to come
out shining and all lovely to the eye.
Jesus was also tempted by the Devil
in the wilderness, before completing His mission on earth. So before you can accomplish greater things you need to be prepared first so as to able to
conquer any situation.
Faith
Hebrews 11:1, describes faith as ‘being sure of what we hope for and certain of
what we do not see’. Faith can be said to be the passport to
blessings.
Encouragingbiblequotes.com has many examples of why it such a necessity to place your faith in God. From
this site you find illustrations of faith and its benefits. A lot people’s lives were changed
because they placed their faith in God.
Prayer
The best thing to do during trials
and temptations is to talk to God through prayer, the only way to communicate with God. There
are many suggested ways to do this in the Holy Book. Psalms 25:16-18 suggest one way and so
is Psalms 6:1-7. We can never take for granted the Lord’s Prayer which the Son of God said we
should emulate (Matthew 6:9-13).
It might happen that you might pray
with no results, but that does not mean that God does hear your prayers. Jesus in Matthew
7:7-11 says that you should never give up, until you get what you want (ask and it shall be
given). Other inspirational words of encouragement from the Bible can be found from
Isaiah 40:28-31.
