The Word is the Word

I've had a lot of down time on my hands, and I get tired really fast. So I've been looking for productive things to do while sitting in my chair. 

I've taken to looking up certain Bible verses and writing them in a journal. As I've searched out the verses that inspire me, I've realized how many I've memorized without really trying. I never wanted learning a verse to feel like work. I've always wanted to truly absorb it and make it a part of me. I'm inspired to keep this up. It has been inspiring and comforting to write these words in my journal and plant them in my heart. I love the Bible, though I admit I'm no scholar of it. I'm not familiar with dates and places, rather I'm familiar with people and the teachings of Jesus. 

I love the Truth it provides in every life situation, including my current health situation. 

These words in my journal are promises to me. 

Here's a favorite: 

Isaiah 41:10

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 

Right hand! Good stuff. And that's a promise!
