A VERSE A DAY

But as for you,

be strong and do not give up,

for your work will be rewarded.

Now faith is the substance

of things hoped for,

the evidence of things not seen.

Do not be overcome by evil,

but overcome evil with good.

Blessed is she

who has believed

that the Lord would fulfill

his promises to her!”

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

And he will be our peace

when the Assyrians invade our land

and march through our fortresses.

We will raise against them seven shepherds,

even eight commanders,

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

his love endures forever.
