a sure footing


2 Corinthians 7:13

Amplified Bible (AMP)
13Therefore we are relieved and comforted and encouraged [at the result]. And in addition to our own [personal] consolation, we were especially delighted 
at the joy of Titus, because you have all set his mind at rest, soothing and refreshing his spirit.

John 1:1

(NASB)
The Deity of Jesus Christ
 1 (A)In the beginning was (B)the Word, and the Word was (C)with God, and (D)the Word was God.

2 Corinthians 12:9

 (AMP)
9But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!

Psalm 136:1-9

New International Version (NIV)
 1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. 
            His love endures forever.
2 Give thanks to the God of gods.
            His love endures forever.
3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
            His love endures forever. 4 to him who alone does great wonders,
            His love endures forever.
5 who by his understanding made the heavens,
            His love endures forever.
6 who spread out the earth upon the waters,
            His love endures forever.
7 who made the great lights—
            His love endures forever.
8 the sun to govern the day,
            His love endures forever.
9 the moon and stars to govern the night;
            His love endures forever.

Psalm 91

Amplified Bible (AMP)
 1HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].
    2I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!
    3For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

Psalm 40:1-3

(MSG)
I waited and waited and waited for God....He stood me up on a solid rock
      to make sure I wouldn't slip.
   He taught me how to sing the latest God-song, a praise-song to our God.
   More and more people are seeing this: they enter the mystery,
      abandoning themselves to God.

1 Peter 5:10 (NASB)

After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, 
confirm, strengthen and establish you.
