2 Timothy 2:14-17a

Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words,which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.  But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene. 

Galations 6:9

So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

Galatians 6:9

I have been really thinking about this verse a lot. It applies so much to everyday life. Whether, I'm having a hard time with school or just dealing with problems that arise, it encourages me to keep trusting that God is going to bring good out of the situation and that I will reap the blessings if I(with Christ's help) continue to diligently persevere.

I hope that verse encourages you to keep doing good, even when it gets tough.

2 Timothy 1:8-12

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, which is why I suffer as I do.  But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.

Hebrews 13:5-6

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”  So we can confidently say,

“The Lord is my helper;

     I will not fear; what can man do to me?”

1 Samuel 16:14

Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and a harmful spirit from the Lord tormented him.

I was amazing when I read this.

a harmful spirit? from the Lord??

He amazes me everyday.

the thing about this passage though, is that because of this harmful 

spirit the Lord sent, David came into the service of Saul. 

God always does things for a reason.

Even though we might not know the reason (like Job).
