5:13-16 NKJV)

ashamed. (1 Peter 3:15-16 NKJV)

Inspirational Bible Quotes on Unity

Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one
will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help
him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not
quickly broken. (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NKJV)

same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His

precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped
the corruption that is in the world through lust.

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,
to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness

will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:2-8
NKJV)

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by
various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that
perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of
Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing,

nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.‖ (Revelation
21:3-4 NKJV)

word we can be certain to find comfort in those Bible verses that we have learned to meditate on
and commit to memory. With that said, I would like to share some encouraging Bible verses with
you now, along with an uplifting message. May your time here prove to be an encouraging
experience as you meditate on what I am about to share with you.

Encouraging Scriptures to Remember

―Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous
to be moved.‖ (Psalms 55:22 NKJV)

―Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the
ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power
to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint
and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the LORD Shall
renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be
weary, They shall walk and not faint.‖ (Isaiah 40:28-31 NKJV)
―God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even
though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling.‖ (Psalms
46:1-3 NKJV)

―I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.‖ (John 14:18 NKJV)

―The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble. And those who
know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek
You.‖ (Psalms 9:9-10 NKJV)

―The LORD is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.‖
(Nahum 1:7 NKJV)

―Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed
for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him.‖ (Psalms
126:5-6 NKJV)

―And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are
the called according to His purpose.‖ (Romans 8:28 NKJV)

―Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you
pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I
am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior…‖ (Isaiah 43:1-3 NKJV)

―Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed
away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming
down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud
voice from heaven saying, ―Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with
them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God
will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.
There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.‖ (Revelation 21:1-4
NKJV)

―The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious
to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.‖ (Numbers 6:24-26
NKJV)

An Encouraging Message
―And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.‖
(Philippians 4:19 NKJV)

Without a doubt, Paul was a man who had great faith! He understood what it meant to go
through hard times, and knew God well enough to believe that he could depend on Him to
deliver him from anything that the enemy would throw at him. He knew what it meant to be
abased and to abound, to be full and to be hungry, and to suffer need. Yet in everything he would
say, ―I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.‖ (Philippians 4:12-13 NKJV)

Can you say the same? What does your life say about Jesus Christ? Do you find your experience
with Him to be encouraging? Better yet, are you encouraged in Christ right now? If not, why?
Do you think your problem is greater than God? There’s a tendency to worry about what life will
be like if we give up our plans for God, as if to assume that He won’t replace them with
something better. But I think that rather than worrying about what life will be like without our
worldly pursuits we should consider what Jesus gave up for us. After all, what He gave up for us
was far greater a sacrifice than anything that we could ever give up for Him; for He gave His life
for us, a people who essentially hated Him. Many wouldn’t even do that for those who love
them.

It’s really tragic when you think about it, but encouraging knowing that He loves us so deeply!
For He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world didn’t know Him;
He came to His own, and His own didn’t receive Him, but crucified Him instead. Thus God
demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
(Romans 5:7-8 NKJV) And here’s the irony: when Paul spoke the words, ―my God shall supply
all of your need‖, he was in chains as a result of walking with God. Yet he was a free man
because he was in Christ, which explains why he was filled with joy even though he was in
chains for preaching the gospel.

Perhaps you’re going through some fiery trial right now, and feel that you’re carrying a burden
that’s just too heavy to bear. You might even feel like giving up. Perhaps you feel like nobody
cares about you enough to take the time to understand what you’re going through. Well, Jesus
has something to say to you:

―Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are
many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I
go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am,
there you may be also.‖ (John 14:1-3 NKJV)

Not only does Jesus know who you are, He loves you, and wants to be with you forever. Indeed,
the world will promise you many things; and you can even try to prosper in it. Worldly pleasure
may make you feel good for a moment; however, it will ultimately leave you feeling empty,
because it can’t give you what is needed most, that is, love. Only God can do that, because God
is love. Moreover it is quite clear from what’s happening around us that the world is not the
solution to our problems; rather, Jesus Christ is. And ―neither death nor life, nor angels nor
principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any
other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our
Lord. (Romans 8:38-39 NKJV)

Will you accept what Jesus wants for you? Will you let Him usher you into a brighter life, and a
more encouraging experience with God? Don’t let the devil cause you to feel like you are
worthless. You are not worthless in God’s eyes. For you belong to the King of kings and Lord
of lords–Jesus Christ. That’s right; you’re a child of the King! Therefore, stand up and praise
Him! Be encouraged! For our God is righteous; and He will deliver us from all evil in due time.
