Pumped

For many years, it was considered a real crisis here if the hand pump was missing: things such as footballs, basketballs, and bicycle tires don't work well when deflated. We all need to be encouraged (pumped up) occasionally. Life is hard with all its sorrows, disappointments, and stress, and there never seems to be a shortage of situations or people to thoroughly frustrate us. Thankfully, there is also no shortage of personal promises in God's Word guaranteed to strengthen and sustain the human heart. Many years ago, someone sent me a card and on the front is written, "God's Promises To Beverly." Needless to say, the card has been read over and over, and countless times.  God's words are ever all-sufficient.  Read His Word and be encouraged!
