“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.”
Psalm 121:1-2 (English Standard Version)
Another Godfirmation to kick off your week! This entire chapter of Psalms, but particularly Psalm 121:1-2, is a reminder that God is on your side and your help in the midst of trouble.

This Godfirmation today is just one testament to the goodness of God in the book of Psalms. And I’m so grateful this morning for it!
In spite of how imperfect we are and the mistakes we often make, God’s love is unwavering. This specific verse from Psalm 86:5 is one of many reminders in the Bible of just how good, forgiving, and FAITHFUL God really is.

I love the word Godfirmation, and sharing these with y’all, because it’s a reminder that WE NEED HIM. It’s His power and grace that truly allows us to get through our days.
Sharing this today as a reminder to myself and to others that God qualifies those whom He has called…no matter what they may have looked like, talked like, or acted like to the outside world beforehand.

“When I look at Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
Psalm 8:3-4 (English Standard Version)
the moon and the stars, which You have set in place,
what is man that You are mindful of him,
and the son of man that You care for him?”
As we kick off another new week, let’s start with a Godfirmation to encourage us — this one coming from Psalm 8:3-4.
I love the book of Psalms, many of which were written by David, who vulnerably pours his heart out to God in a lot of wild circumstances. In a good bit of his writings, David also gives praise and glory to God for the works of His hands, including in Psalm 8. The great hymn of the church, “How Great Thou Art,” was even inspired by Psalm 8. In this particular passage, David praises God as the Creator of the heavens and the earth. He also is in awe that this incredible Creator still thinks and cares about our lives!

“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord. ‘Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a HOPE and a FUTURE.'”
Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version)
Sharing this Godfirmation (I really like that word!) with y’all from Jeremiah 29:11 – a popular verse that many quote about God having a plan for us. Really, this whole chapter could really be a whole message about being in a hard place, but I’ll save that for later.
For now, let’s get into the background of this specific verse and how it applies to each of us. Because God does indeed have a bigger plan for us all. Though we face uncertain moments and tough situations in our lives, God is working them out for our good.
