What a
God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our
Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a
brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in
heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us
and the future. The Day is coming when you’ll have it all—life healed
and whole.
I
know how great this makes you feel, even though you have to put up with
every kind of aggravation in the meantime. Pure gold put in the fire
comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved
genuine.
When Jesus wraps this all up, it’s your faith, not your gold,
that God will have on display as evidence of his victory.
~ 1 Peter 1:3-7
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

Thank you for this which I sorely needed. With the deaths in my family, Dad's declining health and need for full time care which taxes the budget since he won't live with us, losing my old job due to reorganization and taking on a new one (and add moving crash pad twice in 4 months) I've been beyond stressed.
These words were like cool water to me tonight.
Bless you.
All I knew was that I was supposed to post this passage. I'm so glad it helped.
"All I knew was that I was supposed to post this passage."
Isn't that a good feeling?
Indeed. Especially when He allows me to find out why. :)
