As 2023 starts

 

Psalm 42:11

King James Version

11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?

 and why art thou disquieted within me? 

hope thou in God: 

for I shall yet praise him, 

who is the health of my countenance, 

and my God.


How shall we look upon this new year?

What to look forward to in 2023?

As born again, my hope is only in JESUS.

Living each day, by the Bible.

Looking forward to the Rapture.

These verses will give you comfort for 2023:

Proverbs 19:21

King James Version

21 There are many devices in a man's heart; 

nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, 

that shall stand.


Jeremiah 29:11

King James Version

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, 

saith the Lord, 

thoughts of peace, 

and not of evil, 

to give you an expected end.


Lamentations 3:22-23

King James Version

22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, 

because his compassions fail not.

23 They are new every morning: 

great is thy faithfulness.


Lamentations 3:24

King James Version

24 The Lord is my portion, 

saith my soul; 

therefore will I hope in him.


Lamentations 3:25-26

King James Version

25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, 

to the soul that seeketh him.

26 It is good that a man should both hope 

and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.


Matthew 6:25

King James Version

25 Therefore I say unto you, 

Take no thought for your life, 

what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; 

nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. 

Is not the life more than meat, 

and the body than raiment?


Matthew 6:30

King James Version

30 Wherefore, 

if God so clothe the grass of the field, 

which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, 

shall he not much more clothe you, 

O ye of little faith?


Matthew 6:31-33

King James Version

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, 

What shall we eat? or, 

What shall we drink? 

or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) 

for your heavenly Father knoweth 

that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, 

and his righteousness; 

and all these things shall be added unto you.


Matthew 6:34

King James Version

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: 

for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. 

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.


Romans 8:18

King James Version

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time 

are not worthy to be compared with the glory 

which shall be revealed in us.


Romans 8:22-25

King James Version

22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth 

and travaileth in pain together until now.

23 And not only they, but ourselves also, 

which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, 

even we ourselves groan within ourselves, 

waiting for the adoption, to wit, 

the redemption of our body.

24 For we are saved by hope: 

but hope that is seen is not hope: 

for what a man seeth, 

why doth he yet hope for?

25 But if we hope for that we see not, 

then do we with patience wait for it.


Romans 8:26-27

King James Version

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: 

for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: 

but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us 

with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 And he that searcheth the hearts 

knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, 

because he maketh intercession for the saints 

according to the will of God.


Romans 8:28

King James Version

28 And we know that all things work together for good 

to them that love God, 

to them who are the called 

according to his purpose.


2 Corinthians 4:13-14

King James Version

13 We having the same spirit of faith, 

according as it is written, 

I believed, and therefore have I spoken; 

we also believe, and therefore speak;

14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus 

shall raise up us also by Jesus, 

and shall present us with you.


2 Corinthians 4:15-16

King James Version

15 For all things are for your sakes, 

that the abundant grace might 

through the thanksgiving of many 

redound to the glory of God.

16 For which cause we faint not; 

but though our outward man perish, 

yet the inward man is renewed day by day.


2 Corinthians 4:17-18

King James Version

17 For our light affliction, 

which is but for a moment, 

worketh for us 

a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, 

but at the things which are not seen: 

for the things which are seen are temporal; 

but the things which are not seen are eternal.


1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

King James Version

5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, 

ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly 

that the day of the Lord so cometh 

as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; 

then sudden destruction cometh upon them, 

as travail upon a woman with child; 

and they shall not escape.

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, 

that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5 Ye are all the children of light, 

and the children of the day: 

we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; 

but let us watch and be sober.

7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; 

and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, 

putting on the breastplate of faith and love; 

and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, 

but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

10 Who died for us, that, 

whether we wake or sleep, 

we should live together with him.

11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, 

and edify one another, even as also ye do.


James 4:13-15

King James Version

13 Go to now, ye that say, 

To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, 

and continue there a year, 

and buy and sell, and get gain:

14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. 

For what is your life? 

It is even a vapour, 

that appeareth for a little time, 

and then vanisheth away.

15 For that ye ought to say, 

If the Lord will, we shall live, 

and do this, or that.


1 Peter 1:3-7

King James Version

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

which according to his abundant mercy 

hath begotten us again unto a lively hope 

by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, 

and undefiled, 

and that fadeth not away, 

reserved in heaven for you,

5 Who are kept by the power of God 

through faith unto salvation 

ready to be revealed in the last time.

6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, 

though now for a season, if need be, 

ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

7 That the trial of your faith, 

being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, 

though it be tried with fire, 

might be found unto praise and honour and glory 

at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
