Encouragement for Today
Welcome to a place where you can find encouragement for your daily walk with God!
Only One God
We do not need a different God
For every situation:
A god for rain, a god for health,
A god for soul salvation.
Our God is One, the Lord of all
In every realm of living,
And all the good we ever see
Is from His constant giving.
Whatever fear, whatever need,
Whatever help or blessing,
There’s just one God to seek and serve –
There’s no concern or guessing.
…
The Waiting Times
Unjustly in the dungeon’s depths,
Then hope flared bright and died
As “two full years” dripped slowly by
While Joseph stayed inside.
Impatient people checking in
To hear God’s final word;
A week, ten days of silence first
Ere Jeremiah heard.
For “three full weeks” old Daniel mourned
While good and evil warred
Until the angel sent arrived
With comfort from the Lord.
…
Too Good to Be True?
Too good to be true
Were people the pledge
Of such an amazing salvation,
But God is the One
The Scriptures allege
Who offers such wondrous redemption.
There’s nothing too hard
That God cannot do –
There’s nothing to do but believe it;
He cannot tell lies,
His promise is true –
There’s nothing to do but receive it.
…
Life has many joys and challenges, but with a little daily encouragement you can face each day with confidence and hope no matter the circumstances. Our goal is to provide you with spiritual encouragement for today that strengthens your faith and renews your spirit.

The Purpose in Suffering
God wouldn’t let this suffering
Go on another day
Without some purpose that He knows
Will come no other way.
He wouldn’t say to carry on
And keep me here in pain
If not for some far better thing,
Some beneficial gain.
His heart’s too kind, His love too deep
His tender care too good –
I know He’s seen some greater prize
I’ve not yet understood.
…
What Faith Is
Faith isn’t empty wishing
For what you’d like to see;
It isn’t simply guessing
The things you think will be.
Faith isn’t boldly stepping
To do the things you please,
Expecting God to back you
In thrilling feats or ease.
No, faith is shown in knowing
The things you can’t yet see
Then living like you’ve seen them
In hope believingly.
…
For These and More
For kindnesses and mercies
For grace and answered prayer
For favor, help, and blessings
For tender love and care
For guidance and protection
For working out Your will
For peace and sweet assurance
For strength that You instill
For fellowship and friendship
For hope and daily light
For need and wise provision
For songs to cheer the night
…
New Year Call
Put off the old, put on the new,
The call is ringing clear,
A fresh, new start is on the way
To greet the dawning year.
The past behind, the future bright,
We’re pressing toward the prize –
Eternal life’s the worthy goal
On which we fix our eyes.
The day to come is full of hope
For those who look ahead;
Keep on the path and don’t look back
As step by step we’re led.
…
The Christmas Story
A godly girl and her betrothed
In Nazareth of old,
Both purposed they would honor God
And live for Him we’re told.
Then in the midst of normal life
An angel came to earth
To tell this virgin of the news
About the Savior’s birth.
So few believed her strange account
But John’s dear mother knew,
And from the glad Elizabeth
What strength and hope she drew.
…
How Far Did You Come?
How far did You come, Lord Jesus?
How far did You come for me?
How far did it seem from Your throne to a barn,
To time from eternity?
How far did You come, Messiah?
How far did You come to live?
From heaven above to our struggles below
To pardon me and forgive.
How far did You come, Redeemer?
How far did You come to die?
