Psalm 94:18-19: “When I thought, “My foot slips,” your steadfast love O LORD, held me up. When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.”
We live in a very fast-paced society and culture today. Everything is needed to be done right now. Waiting for answers from others in our jobs in work or other responsibilities often seems to take too long, and we wonder, “Why can’t they get my answer to me right now because people are waiting on me?” Or having the internet down among other various computer problems occur which then holds up other essential details of work. That is all part of the elements of our culture today that diminishes us. We are always in a hurry. However, Jesus is always present and available. Our spiritual power source is never not connected. I am thankful that my prayers are never returned to me with a statement that says “undeliverable address!”
Do you ever feel just tired of life as it is? Everything on your “To Do” list doesn’t get all done, and you feel frustrated. I feel that way more and more. That is when taking a “pause moment in life” is highly recommended. Jesus has told us just to follow Him, and John 12:26b reminds us: “If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.” God will provide what I need. He sustains and His consolations will cheer my soul.
Verses to recite when needing that pause moment in your life:
- Psalm 94:22: “But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.”
- Psalm 23:1-2: “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.”
- Psalm 119:92: “If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.”
- Psalm 119:114: “You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word.”
What are the verses that God has spoken to you in your time of need? Share them with someone today that needs encouragement and help refresh their soul. Take a pause moment to reenergize and then go forth in the power of God today!
