For the glory of your name, O Lord, preserve my life.
Because of your faithfulness, bring me out of this distress.
Psalm 143:11 NLT
***
“If we are going to learn to trust God in adversity,
we must believe God will allow nothing to subvert His glory,
so He will allow nothing to spoil the good He is working out in us and for us.”
Jerry Bridges
***
But God’s not finished. He’s waiting around to be gracious to you.
He’s gathering strength to show mercy to you.
God takes the time to do everything right—everything.
Those who wait around for him are the lucky ones.
Isaiah 30:18 The Message
***
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you,
will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.
Philippians 1:6 NLT
