12 Encouraging Bible VersesНамуна
“I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.” Psalm 16:8 (AMP)
I’ve got some exciting news for you! You are not alone in handling the challenges of the day. You have the Lord at your right hand. He keeps you stable with His firm grip.
The Psalmist seems to have developed this awareness of God’s abiding presence and firm grip through the habit of “setting the Lord continually before me.” For us, I think we can also grow in this awareness by starting each day with the Word of God.
Starting your day with the Lord prepares you to face whatever the day may bring. Sure, it’s nice to wish that every day would be perfect and free of problems, but that isn’t the reality. Some days are less-than-ideal, and others are downright disruptive and all-out-bad. No matter what the day brings, you are not alone. Even more than that, God is faithfully at your right hand to help, guide, and support you through the day’s challenges.
Not only does the habit of reading the Word set the tone for the remainder of your day, but it allows you to focus your heart and mind on a Truth each day. When you concentrate on one verse or thought from God’s Word every day, it becomes much easier to remember and live that Truth throughout the day.
Know that you are not alone. God is with you! I encourage you to set the Lord continually before you every day!

About this Plan
When you need encouragement, there is nothing better than to soak in God’s word. As we focus on His truth, the more assured we become that He is carrying us. Over these next five days, keep these verses where you can see them - on a post-it on your computer monitor or textbook - and consistently center your heart, mind, and emotions on them.
