  • Where to find strength..

    I was given an idea by my friend, Givengrace, to start a notebook on ‘God’. What could be better?! I started with collecting scriptures on God being our STRENGTH. YummO! I wanted to share the scriptures I found with you because it blessed me SO much! This has helped me find a new focus for my time spent with the Lord in the mornings. I’m making a “God Notebook” where I can easily retrieve my notes on God when I want to be refreshed. I can’t wait to get started on the next one.

    My husband and I are going to God for our strength more and more as our bodies and mind age. We are reminding ourselves that our strength does come from the Lord and He assigns it as He wills.

    Enjoy!

  • Thank you so  much for posting this.  I am copying it and will print it out to include in my “God” book.  Blessings for a wonderful weekend.

  • I love your God book.  I’m going to “steal” some of your verses!

    A few years ago I asked my husband to buy me a really inexpensive Bible in the NKJV.  As I read through it I’ve been highlighting all the verses that give a description or name of God.  It’s been really fun.  I think I’ll give “strength” it’s own highlighter color and use the same Bible for my God book highlighting those wonderful, encouraging verses on strength.

    Thank you….I have really been encouraged through you…AND the Word today!  Bless you!  Q.’

  • What a good idea. Kind of like a handwritten concordance that one could turn to for the need of the moment.

  • @buana - I would love to see any scriptures you may find to add to my “God Notebook”. Whatchya think?  I even thought it might be a neat thing to somehow start a Yahoo page or some way for ladies to share what they find so others could glean.

  • @QMTJ - That is such an awesome idea! Now you’ve got me thinking! I’d love to see any special scriptures you’d like to share.

  • Georgene,

    Thank you for the scriptures they are needed right now..this has been a rough week for us, Marks neurostimulator procedure got put off for another week, the waiting is getting so very difficult, but I continue to trust God and found your post timely.

    After you commented on my post I went to my subs to go read this post and couldn’t find you and I realized that with all that has been going on I never subbed to you, so I am going to sub now.

    I love the idea of highlighting scripture, for God, and strength and I think I will add peace to that…and I also love the idea of a yahoo group.

    Because of Christ!

  • Ok scratch that, I went to sub to you and it said I already was subbed and friends so I am not sure why I did not see you on my sub list….hmmm

  • Ok last comment, I promise…you and a few other subscriptions were set to hidden when I went to my edit subs…so that solves the problem, now my brain hurts so I am going to bed! LOL

  • Yes, God is indeed our strength!

  • Thanks, Georgene!  What a blessing to know that God is our strength, especially as the reality is that we don’t have any without God!

  • This is amazing… thank you for sharing!  I’m going to save these verses because with my physical struggles I pray for strength often!

  • Hi Georgene….What an excellent idea! I’m always searching for scriptures on certain topics…..Thanks for sharing.

    Have a great day!

  • great idea, i too would like to do this soon :)
