I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“Communicating with God is the most extraordinary experience imaginable, yet at the same time it’s the most natural one of all, because God is present in us at all times. Omniscient, omnipotent, personal-and loving us without conditions. We are connected as One through our divine link with God.”

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“A useful way to think about the commandments is they are loving counsel from a wise, all-knowing Heavenly Father. His goal is our eternal happiness, and His commandments are the road map He has given us to return to Him, which is the only way we will be eternally happy. . . .”

Isaiah 40:11 King James Version

11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

The Lord is our shepherd; we shall not want.
He maketh us to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth us beside the still waters.
He restoreth our souls: he leadeth us in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil: for thou art with us; thy rod and thy staff they comfort us.
Thou preparest a table before us in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest our heads with oil; our cups runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives: and we will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“What matters is that someone—that you—know me that well. When a person can see into your soul, it’s hard. It forces you to be open. Vulnerable. It’s much easier being with someone who’s just more of a casual friend.”

Philippians 4:19 King James Version

19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“I believe deeply that God does his best work in our lives during times of great heartbreak and loss, and I believe that much of that rich work is done by the hands of people who love us, who dive into the wreckage with us and show us who God is, over and over and over. There are years when the Christmas spirit is hard to come by, and it’s in those seasons when I’m so thankful for Advent.

Romans 1:17 King James Version

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“Comfort each other
and edify one another. 1 THESSALONIANS 5:11 It is an undeniable fact that usually those who have suffered most are best able to comfort others who are passing through suffering. They know what it is to suffer, and they understand more than others what a suffering person is experiencing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They are able to empathize as well as sympathize with the afflictions of others because of what they have experienced in their own lives. Our sufferings may be rough and hard to bear, but they teach us lessons that in turn equip and enable us to help others. Our attitude toward suffering should not be, “Grit your teeth and bear it,” hoping it will pass as quickly as possible. Rather, our goal should be to learn all we can from what we are called upon to endure, so that we in turn can “comfort each other and edify one another.”

Proverbs 3:5-6 King James Version

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“Many times when one is trying to do the next right thing, the Spirit gives urgings which lights a path.”

“All these facts teach us that there are two ways in which the Holy Spirit works in us. The first is the preparatory operation in which He simply acts on us but does not yet take up His abode within us, though leading us to conversion and faith and ever urging us to all that is good and holy. The second is the higher and more advanced phase of His working when we receive Him as an abiding gift, as an indwelling Person, concerning whom we know that He assumes responsibility for our whole inner being, working in it both to will and to do. This is the ideal of the full Christian life.”
