The Grass Withers – Visual Verse

October 2, 2014 By: Melissa

The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever.
Isaiah 40:8 ESV

I love this verse! If you click the link then you will also be able to see it in the NIV and MSG translation. It always great to see the different translations of the verse because inevitably something pops out you in a way that you’ve never noticed before. Go ahead…try it.

Visual Verses are simply verses that have been on my heart and that I’ve made into graphics. I am a very visual kinda girl and I love a pretty little pic along with my verse so that I can print them out and post them wherever I might need them…in the car, on the nightstand, or in my journal.

They are also for you too!

You are more than welcome to download them or even pin them on your pinterest pages.

As a matter of fact I would love it if you did, they are yours to enjoy as well.

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:58 NIV

During my quiet time this week I stumbled upon this sweet little verse. It’s not necessarily “sweet” in the sense of ahhhh, that’s cute, but sweet because it hit me right where I needed it that day and was a sweet reminder that God is with me every single moment of every day.

I absolutely love to steadfastness of this. The strong words are powerful; “Stand Firm” “Let NOTHING move you” and “Always” — wow! There’s not a maybe, or you could have, should have, hem haw about it. It’s direct. It’s clear and it is powerful.

I pray it moves you as it did me. This is just as much for you as it is for me…

PS – I took this picture at an orphanage we served at in the Bahamas. One of the other girls on the trip with me left this reminder “God is Good” on the playground for the kids to find later after we left. It was the perfect pic for this verse!!!

Visual Verse: Romans 12:12

Be joyful in hope,

patient in affliction,

faithful in prayer.

Romans 12:12

It’s not always easy to do, but by being faithful in prayer the joy and the patience comes shining through. Not sure what’s going on in your world right now, but cling to this truth and let is sink down deep into your heart. Memorize this truth. Pray over it and let God do the rest.

Recently I just finished reading Valorie Burton’s book “Where Will You Go From Here?” and in it were these (8) little words. Put together they make something truly powerful and it was a perfect reminder to me just how simple it really is.

Be Bold.

Be Courageous.

Have Faith.

Trust God.

I pray you are empowered and challenged by these (8) words as well, if you’d like then you are more than welcome to download the graphic (or pin it if you’d like) to enjoy as well.

Seeking JOY on the Journey,

Melissa

Word Filled Wednesday ~ Sunrise

Just recently my husband and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. We wanted to start the day differently than we have ever done before…so we packed up the kids early that morning and drove over to the Ft. Lauderdale beach where we were blown away to witness such a beautiful sunrise.

Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,

that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

Psalm 90:14 The Message

That is my prayer for you today…that you would take time before your morning/day gets crazy busy to sit down at the foot of the Creator and let Him fill you up with His joy.
