Do You Need to Be Cheered Up? - Suggested Scriptures and Music
Barbara Henderson
If you are looking for a little cheer
in this world you will find it in the Bible and in the hymnal. I have posted some wonderful Bible verses and
hymns that I find a game changer when it comes to getting past hurt feelings,
impatience, sorrow, and problems. When the cares of the world are overwhelming
or just seem very heavy I turn to these verses and songs. I hope they help you.
The songs have links to youtube in
case you don’t know them you can listen and get an idea what they sound like
Things covered in listed Bible Verses:
Words of comfort – and that Jesus is
the way to heaven
Bodily resurrection of the dead and
the living
We will know each other
Heaven is a wonderful place
Absent from the body present with the
Lord
Music suggestions after scripture
Jesus
exact words to help through trouble and assurance that He is the way to heaven
John 14:1-6
14 Let not your heart be
troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many
mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for
you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for
you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye
may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way
ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know
not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way,
the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
The
resurrection of the living and the dead is going to happen
1 Thessalonians 4:13 -18
But I would not have you to be ignorant,
brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others
which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word
of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord
shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump
of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the
air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with
these words.
We
are going to know each other in heaven
1 Corinthians 13:12
For now we see through a glass,
darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even
as also I am known.
Heaven
is going to be more wonderful than we can imagine
1 Corinthians 2:9
But as it is written, Eye hath not
seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things
which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Believers
go directly to be God – no waiting in limbo
2 Corinthians 5:8
We are confident, I say, and willing
rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the
Lord.
